In this episode of the Rooted in Resilience podcast, we dive deep into the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. We explore the tension between top-down government policies and bottom-up grassroots action, the real story behind food fortification, the dangers of seed oils, and how regenerative agriculture can shift the future of health and sustainability. From politics and USDA corruption to personal empowerment and local food systems—this is a must-listen for anyone rethinking what it means to be healthy in America today.______________________________________________________________________Subscribe To The Rooted In Resilience Podcast:⭐ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCSpofOL75STGMvUUlD5em7g ⭐ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NTIxm2iqgIdnqI2j2FICr?si=477cfb0440fe40ce⭐ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rooted-in-resilience/id1663060063______________________________________________________________________Keep Up With Us!🖥️ Website: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/🗞️ Newsletter: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/newsletter-signup👩🏼‍🌾 Our Farm CoOp, Nourish: https://nourishcooperative.com/ {The highest quality food you can find, delivered directly to your door.
