- Nutrition
EPISODE 42 | Wanting to interview someone about regenerative agriculture, I scoured the ol’ Internet. I hoped to find someone *kinda* cool to interview but ended up finding THE coolest, nicest expert: Tim LaSalle, PhD! Dr. LaSalle’s #1 hope is for our food system to transform into one that’s regenerative, meaning it'll be able to mitigate climate change by sequestering 100% of the current emissions. If you’re wondering how to eat in a way that supports and protects the environment—and I certainly hope you are!—this episode is gonna be right up your alley. Enjoy!
