In this insightful episode, Dr. Libby Weaver discusses the often-overlooked connection between our emotional state, biochemistry, and dietary choices. Many individuals adopt strict dietary practices under the guise of health when, in reality, these choices are driven by underlying fears and a quest for control or perfection. Dr. Weaver stresses the importance of recognising when health-focused behaviours are actually fueled by deeper emotional issues, which can manifest as food restriction or an unhealthy focus on body image.
She emphasises the need for a holistic approach that considers not just physical nutrition but also emotional well-being, highlighting how psychological factors can significantly influence our eating habits and overall health.

This is Charlie's second interview with Dr Zach Bush, captured 2 days before the groundbreaking Farmers Footprint Australia ReConnecton 2023: Co-creating Australia's Regeneration conference in November 2023.

Chilli represents the new generation of farmers, choosing a path dedicated to clean, nutritious food production and education at just 19 years old. Recognising that traditional schooling wouldn't provide the foundational knowledge she sought, Chilli, with her parents’ support, opted for distance education, using their backyard garden as her classroom. Her profound love for nature and a family health challenge deepened her commitment to self-sufficiency, propelling her on the next chapter of her regenerative journey—a new life in Tasmania.

Peter's remarkable work extends beyond creating environmentally focused documentaries; he is also dedicated to showcasing solutions to global environmental changes. Peter is known for his ability to objectively compare and contrast the farming practices of conventional and regenerative farmers across the United States. During the interview, Charlie was particularly struck by Peter's approach: he begins with the similarities and common ground, fostering curiosity among the farmers featured in his latest documentary. "Roots So Deep" offers a game-changing perspective on the state of farming, presenting views from both sides of the fence.
