Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin dig into developments that are quietly - but profoundly - reshaping what we think we know about food, health, and science itself. They unpack a new reanalysis of NHANES data that overturns the long-standing claim that animal protein shortens life - showing how the same raw data was previously framed in a way that fueled a false global dietary narrative.  They a...

In this episode, Joel takes aim at one of the modern food movement’s biggest ironies: we’re drowning in “solutions” while starving for common sense.  He questions whether tech platforms that promise to “connect you to farmers” are actually adding another middleman—and whether our obsession with certifications and labels has distracted us from what really matters.  From apps that sell authenticity...

Are we eating cloned meat in our food supply?  In this episode, Joel and Sina dig into the ABC’s of cloned livestock in America and worldwide.  Spoiler alert: Cloned meat and milk have been in American’s food supply for nearly 2 decades.  Next, Joel addresses the soaring price of beef. He explains President Trump’s call for an investigation into the “Big Four’ meatpackers and why he’s not so quick...

Farmer Joel Salatin trades the megaphone for a fireside chair as Dr. Sina dives into Pitchfork Pulpit —an intimate look at the last decade of Joel’s life, from doubts and detours to the convictions that held.  With humor and heart, Joel unpacks the stories behind the essays. Together they explore why local food systems are really about love and accountability in a candid, hope-filled conversation...

In today’s episode, Joel and Sina go treasure-hunting in the modern news cycle to prove that even in a sea of chaos, there are still rays of hope worth celebrating.  From IHOP’s omelets turning out to be… well… not exactly 100% eggs to Steak ’n Shake unexpectedly leading the charge against seed oils, and the American Heart Association inching toward a more holistic view of health, we’re pulling ap...

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the strange new world of engineered eating: from CRISPR-edited cows and methane-tweaked microbes to 3D-printed steaks, lab-grown salmon, mammoth meatballs, and even cell-cultured chocolate.  Are these creations the future of sustainable food…or a sign that we’ve lost touch with nature?  Join us as we peel back the shiny marketing to ask the real questions: W...

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement isn’t just a slogan—it’s turning into a groundswell. Patients are asking for natural remedies, states are pushing bans on potentially toxic food chemicals, and even YouTube has acknowledged it censored Americans at the behest of the government. The spark is crossing borders, too, as Europe begins its own “Make Europe Healthy Again” push.  In this epis...

When China cools on soybeans, what ripple effects actually reach your pantry and pasture? Joel breaks it down without the doom.  Then we tackle your mailbag—silvopasture thinning basics, the end of a whiskey “slop” program, how far a poultry exemption can stretch for helping neighbors, smart ways to read scientific papers, whether glyphosate ties up key minerals like magnesium, and if lily pads he...

How do you know vaccines are “safe and effective”—because you’ve seen the data, or because trusted voices repeat the line?  In this episode we invite you to test the claim yourself. We walk through how the U.S. schedule expanded (from a handful of shots in the 1990s to ~70 doses today), what kinds of studies typically underpin safety and effectiveness, and how to read those studies without a PhD—o...

Part 1 was about shifting the story behind dis-ease to set yourself up for success.  Part 2 is about the “how.”  Dr. Sina walks you through the roadmap God showed her during her own journey to full healing.  She takes you on a journey through each of the 5 stops on the map where you will explore possible toxicities and/or deficiencies.  Throughout the journey, Dr. Sina shares lessons learned, comm...

What if the first step toward healing is changing how we see the body?  Modern medicine has given us astonishing tools for resolving acute injuries, but it also framed how we think of the body as a machine that breaks and must be fixed from the outside. That story can nudge us into a victim stance, outsourcing our power.  Ancient medical traditions and the Bible offer a different starting point: t...

After weeks on the road, Joel shares how he’s seeing states trying to remove our freedom to choose the foods we want to eat. From herdshares to PMAs and buying clubs, he reports on what’s happening around the country and how regulators don’t trust family farmers to provide safe food. Joel and Sina also talk about how the government and industry continue to nudge our choices. They first shaped our...

In this personal episode, Joel and Sina unpack the power of labels we give each other (and ourselves), owning moments when they labeled people the wrong way and how empathy changed the outcome.  Joel shares a moving story about being censored and why, after a veteran friend called him out, he refuses to use a certain word for anyone ever again. Sina opens up about a surprising, human conversation...

Two stories that hit your medicine cabinet and your media diet.  First, a new presidential memo directs HHS (Kennedy Jr) to rein in “misleading” prescription drug ads and beef up side-effect disclosures. Will that curb America’s over-medication? Will it be the demise of mainstream media outlets like CNN and FOX news?  Joel and Sina break it down. Second, HHS may, for the first time, link autism to...

Hear the latest news on genetically modified organisms from new “precise” techniques to the latest foods to undergo genetic tinkering in the lab. With the first genetically modified WHEAT now cleared for U.S. cultivation and the first approved spray-on RNA pesticide, the produce aisle is starting to look like a genetics lab (minus the lab coats).  Joel and Sina translate lab talk into lunch talk b...

Is sunlight medicine—or melanoma waiting to happen?  Dr. Alexis Cowan, Princeton‑trained molecular biologist and Chief Science Officer at Japa Health, shines a clarifying beam on the myths and miracles of light.  In this illuminating conversation with Sina and Joel, she reveals the body’s surprising capacity to manufacture its own vitamin D even in darkness, explains why the entire solar spectrum—...

Think rBGH - recombinant bovine growth hormone - was buried in the ’90s alongside dial-up internet?  Think again. In this episode, Joel and Sina uncover how this controversial hormone is clawing its way back into America’s milk supply.  Then, they break down the government’s leaked pesticide strategy to “end chronic disease” and what it really means for consumers. Lastly, Joel delivers a sobering...

What happens when a leaked government strategy to “end childhood disease” gets exposed?  In this episode, we don’t hold back. We dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of the MAHA plan—unpacking their list of disease culprits, the promise (and pitfalls) of conflict-of-interest reforms, and how dietary guidelines and agricultural policy shifts could reshape what ends up on your plate.  Whether y...

In this episode of Beyond Labels, Dr. Sina and Farmer Joel reveal how century‑old food regulations have driven up costs, eroded transparency, and severed the bond between neighbors and their food.  Consumers will see why reclaiming the right to buy directly from local cook...
