In this Earth Month special of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with a true agricultural icon and personal hero—Joel Salatin, also known as the “Lunatic Farmer.” This deeply inspiring conversation unpacks the roots of regenerative farming, the truth behind industrial agriculture, and the deep spiritual connection between soil health and human health.

Joel shares powerful stories from his decades-long journey challenging conventional farming, the legacy of his family’s ecological practices, and why the health of our planet and bodies are inseparable. From compost to community, microbiomes to monocultures, this episode is a soul-stirring call to action to reconnect with food, farming, and the Earth.

Topics Covered:

• The historical roots of industrial farming post-WWII

• Joel’s path as a regenerative farming pioneer

• The microbiome-soil health connection

• How hospitals and schools could heal communities through food

• Actionable steps anyone can take—urban or rural—to make a difference
