Today, we have another Dr. Gary Rants where we get an inside look at the world of healthcare through his first hand experience. We're all in the same boat with regards to the pandemic, but what does our future look like? Here are our thoughts as of February 2021!
 
We discuss:
The media right now Social isolation and lack of information No public support for lifestyle & diet interventions? Is the pandemic here to stay? Inconsistent public policies “Normal” lab and testing values Losing trust in the system Thinking for yourself

We sat down with Dr. Ashley and Sarah Armstrong, the Strong Sistas, to talk about their health journey and their most recent venture into regenerative agriculture. Their health journey has taken them from a predominantly plant-based diet to one that is based around animal foods. In the process, they’ve healed from eating disorders and autoimmune conditions.
 
Ashley received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Illinois and Sarah received her bachelors in Health Sciences & post grad studies in Integrative Nutrition. Recently, they’ve decided to drop their career plans, move out to a farm, and become first generation, regenerative, female farmers. Their mission is to improve human health and the health of the planet by changing the way food is grown & raised.
 
We cover:
What’s going on in their life right now? Their health journey Nutrient Dense Foods Modern foods are nutrient depleted The relationship between your health and soil health An individualized approach to nutrition Nose to tail eating Ray Peat inspired nutrition & stress Regenerative agriculture
