    Episode 20- Vitamin/Supplement series intro: Starting the Nutraceutical Journey

    Send us a text  Starting the Nutraceutical Journey: Why We Need to Talk About This  Supplements promise health in a bottle—but behind every label is a web of science, sourcing, and sometimes sketchy shortcuts. In this first episode of our Nutraceutical Series, we lay out the questions that drive the journey: What makes a supplement trustworthy? Who actually ensures quality? And how do consumers separate marketing from truth? It’s part curiosity, part accountability—an honest look at the industry from someone that is venturing into the middle of it.

    Episode 19- Dr. Delphine Derrien | Modeling Regeneration: Agriculture, Carbon & the Future of Food

    Send us a text What if we could simulate the future of farming—and make smarter choices now? In this episode, systems modeler and agroecologist Delphine Derrien breaks down how regenerative agriculture can be scaled intelligently through computational modeling. Her work connects carbon sequestration, regional realities, and global food systems in ways that challenge conventional thinking. We explore: How modeling can predict the climate impact of regenerative farmingWhy “best practice” varies by region, culture, and ecosystemHow better data leads to more grounded decisions for both growers and policymakersThis is systems thinking in action—practical, scalable, and rooted in the complexity of real land, real people, and a changing planet.

    Episode 18- Dr. Jessica Lancaster | Immunity & Aging, the Fibroblast T-cell Frontier

    Send us a text We often think of T cells as the body’s defenders—but what happens when they can’t move where they’re needed? In this episode, immunologist Dr. Jessica Lancaster breaks down the overlooked role of fibroblasts—the structural cells that help (or hinder) T cell movement—and how this relationship impacts aging, immune function, and disease outcomes. We explore: Why aging immune cells don’t just slow down—they get stuckThe role of tissue environments in T cell surveillance and mobilityHow manipulating fibroblast–T cell interactions could unlock better therapies for cancer, infection, and age-related declineThis conversation zooms in on one of the most dynamic frontiers in immunology—and makes it accessible, without watering it down.

    Episode 17- Dr. Hanadie Yousef | Protein Mapping & The Future of Regenerative Medicine

    Send us a text What if we could map the healing signals our bodies already use—and turn them into targeted therapies? In this episode, Dr. Hanadie Yousef, co-founder and CEO of Juvena Therapeutics, walks us through how her team is using stem cell systems biology and protein mapping to develop a new class of regenerative medicines. We explore: How secreted proteins mapping helps identify potential therapeuticsWhat it takes to go from protein signals to actual therapyWhy this approach could unlock treatments that are safer and more directed to specific conditions and possibly even individuals. Dr. Yousef shares the science—but also the bigger vision: a future where healing isn’t forced, but guided by biology itself.

    Episode 16- Dr. Heidi Peterson | Stewardship That Works: Conservation Rooted in Real Life

    Send us a text Conservation isn’t just about protecting land—it’s about understanding it. And in this episode, Heidi Peterson from the Sand County Foundation helps us explore how healthy land management starts with local knowledge, long-term thinking, and partnerships that actually work. We talk about: The real-world tension between productivity and sustainabilityWhy the best conservation efforts are co-created, not handed downWhat being a steward of soil health looks like in the industry and as a consumer.If you care about food, farming, or the future of the land we live on, this episode offers a practical, hopeful look at conservation that’s not just ecological—it’s personal.

    Episode 14-Dr. Christelle Guédot | Pests, Pollinators & Protecting Our Future Food

    Send us a text We rely on insects more than we realize—until they become a problem. In this episode, entomologist Dr. Christelle Guédot helps us untangle the delicate balance between pests we fight and pollinators we depend on. From fruit crops to backyard gardens, Dr. Guédot breaks down how insect behavior shapes our food system, what happens when we tip that balance, and how farmers and researchers are working with—not just against—nature. We explore: Why pollinator health is declining (and why it matters)How we monitor and manage agricultural pestsThe future of farming in a world of changing ecosystemsWhether you grow food or just eat it, this episode will change how you think about the smallest creatures doing the biggest work.

    Episode 13- Dr. Sarah Bass | What Makes Public Health Messages Actually Work

    Send us a text In a world flooded with headlines, hashtags, and health advice, how do you actually reach people—and help them change? Dr. Sarah Bass has spent her career studying that question. As a professor of public health communication, she works at the intersection of science, trust, and human behavior—helping health campaigns move from ignored to impactful. In this episode of Trying 2 Learn, we dig into what separates effective messaging from noise, how culture and context shape communication, and why effective public health is about both sharing accurate information and helping people feel empowered to act. Whether you’re a health pro, a policymaker, or a normal human confused about our current health communication, this conversation will give you a fresh lens on how we talk about public health.
