We cover:


problems with today’s industrialized model
strengths and weaknesses of regenerative grazing 
if dairy can be regenerative
the environmental impact between plant vs animal agriculture
If the government should play a bigger role in stewarding the earth

Few topics are more hotly debated than nutrition. With contradictory messaging abundant, it can be difficult to discern credible health advice and navigate which dietary patterns are optimal for our health and longevity. 

Simon Hill, nutritionist and host of The Proof Podcast, cuts through the noise and breaks down today’s most popular diets and trends. Simon has a healthy obsession with nutritional science and uses reliable science-based information to form his dietary thesis philosophy. He focuses on nuanced, evidence-based research instead of biased black and white thinking.

While science is not perfect, we do have clear biomarkers for longevity and preventing our #1 killers, and this episode goes into how these trends stack up against those markers. With so many experts letting their biases get in the way to form nutritional recommendations, Simon is the nutrition resource we need right now.

In this episode we cover: 


Popular diets: Paleo, Carnivore, Vegan, Keto, Plant Paradox, & Nourishing Traditions
What “ancestral diets” get right and wrong
Saturated fat vs. PUFAS
Popular Trends: Butter, Bone Broth, anti-nutrients, seed oils, etc
Eating to survive vs. eating for longevity 
Why what’s “natural” isn’t necessarily what’s best for long term health

In this fiery conversation with my husband and friends Amelia and Matt, we discuss and debate the meaning and value of sex, marriage, and monogamous vs. polyamorous relationships. 

Amelia and Matt recently celebrated their love in a non traditional marriage ceremony after dating for 5 years. They practice consensual non monogamy and value freedom, self expression and evolution as the foundation of their relationship. They share polar opposite life experiences to me and my husband Andrew, who have only ever been with each other intimately and waited until we were married to have sex. We’ve been together for over 20 years, started dating when we were 15 and 16 years old and our marriage vows are based in a life long commitment of growth and unconditional love, through the easy times and the hard times.

We get into our differing perspectives on love and if having multiple sexual partners (either at the same time or throughout our lives) is best for society, raising children, and ourselves as individuals.

As a new mother, we want to give our baby the best nutrition and care. It is of our highest priority, and feeling empowered with nutritional information and support is so crucial to helping mom’s feel confident during the postpartum phase. In this follow up episode with two dietitians Whitney and Alex from Plant Based Juniors, we sit down to discuss postpartum care, optimal nutrition for mothers, and a dive into starting baby on solid foods. 

I loved this conversation about the messy yet beautiful journey of the postpartum experience, and value all the information and expertise Whitney and Alex share. Both mothers to predominantly plant-based children themselves, Plant Based Juniors was created because they saw a need for easy-to-access information on evidence-based nutrition for pregnancy and kids. They’ve since helped families all around the world feel confident and empowered in nourishing their families with plants as the primary focus.

In this episode we cover tips for successful breastfeeding, what the science says about raising children plant-based, baby led weaning, and much much more! I hope you enjoy today’s episode.

I sit down with Dr. Klaper, an internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and gifted medical practitioner who’s been helping patients reverse chronic illness with plant-based nutrition and integrative medicine for the last 40 years. In this episode we hone in on optimal nutrition to prevent America’s biggest killers - heart disease and diet-related cancers. 

We know that dietary patterns are a key component to preventing and even reversing many common diseases that are prevalent here in the US. Yet this education is still rarely taught to our medical students, emphasized in the medical course curriculum, or even discussed in the general population.

Dr. Klaper and I also discuss how to build a nutritious plate with plant-forward nutrition and what specific foods help protect you against these diseases.
