Host, Michele, interviews Sander van Stee, a farmer with aspirations of becoming a fully regenerative farmer. Sander highlights his transition from traditional commercial farming to regenerative agriculture. Sander also discusses the differences between organic and regenerative farming, the health benefits of raw versus pasteurized milk, and the economic feasibility of regenerative farming. The conversation touches upon the importance of eating whole foods, the harmful effects of processed foods, and the critical role consumers play in driving change through their purchasing choices.

Sander's health started slipping. Years of neglecting sleep and recovery finally caught up to him. He saw several specialists, but no one was able to figure out why his body stopped producing testosterone. He started to question everything: the medical system, his health choices, and even the way his family farmed. He was searching for ways to improve animal welfare when he came across regenerative agriculture. It took him 6 years to regain his health. Now he has 4 boys and his family also raises pastured turkeys which follow behind our grass fed beef much like how birds used to follow the ancient herds of bison that used to roam North America. He hopes to grow the regenerative side of the family farm to where they could transition their commercial dairy farm to regenerative practices as well. Sander introduces his company, Moral Eats, which is dedicated to improving farm animal welfare and producing high-quality food.
