Sustainable Dish Podcast

Thomas Locke is part of the recent movement of office workers turned farmers. Before becoming a farmer, Thomas followed a path most of us are familiar with: go to college, take classes you find interesting, then move to a city where you can successfully join the workforce. The end.

But for Thomas, it didn’t stop there. After some moving around both geographically and within careers, he found his calling as a farmer and has never looked back. Bois d’Arc Meat Co. was born.

It won’t come as a surprise that Indigenous cultures are often overlooked in conversations about health and well-being. 

The current anti-meat narrative often demonizes traditional foodways and appropriates sacred rituals and ceremonies of First Nation people into performative, Instagrammable acts or a commercialized product. 

Chelsey Luger and Thosh Collins are on a mission to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous health and wellness. As members of Native American tribes, Chelsey and Thosh cofounded Well For Culture, an Indigenous wellness initiative that promotes whole lifeways through ancestral teachings to optimize contemporary Indigenous lifestyles. 

This work is not just for Indigenous people. Everyone can benefit from the Seven Circles, their holistic model for wellness. Their book, The Seven Circles: Indigenous Teachings for Living Well, shares the seven interconnected areas of life through lessons from Indigenous teachings and gives practical advice on how to engage with this wisdom.

Dr. Pran Yoganathan is a gastroenterologist based in Sidney, Australia. As the director of The Centre for Gastrointestinal Health, he takes a unique approach to achieve health for his patients.
