Farmer Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina McCullough break down the Florida "Gag Law" (HB 433/SB 290), that could leave citizens and activists vulnerable to lawsuits for criticizing anything from sugar production to pesticide use. Meanwhile Florida’s Health Department reported 60% of candy tested contained dangerous arsenic levels. Joel also weighs in on California’s new alliance with the World H...

We’re told we can rest when everything is done—so basically never. In this conversation, we explore the connection between shame and busyness, why stopping can feel unsafe, and how the Sabbath offers a weekly practice of trust, limits, and renewal. Along the way, we discuss themes from Charlie Kirk’s Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life —and why “permission t...

In this episode, Joel and Sina unpack the quiet revolution happening inside the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, where “eat real food” has officially replaced decades of low-fat, highly processed advice.  But behind the "Eat Real Food" marketing lies a "Nutritional Civil War" between new health goals and old legal restrictions. They explore the clash between marketing and math and...

Joel and Sina take you on a tour of the latest headlines shaping food, farming, and freedom of choice.  They break down what’s really happening with the controversial “pesticide immunity shield,” explore a newly introduced bill in Congress aimed at protecting access to homeopathic remedies, and share behind-the-scenes insights from Joel’s recent appearance on The Glenn Beck Program .  The conversa...

What if the earliest signs of neurological disease didn’t look neurological at all? In this episode, Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin explore why conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, cognitive decline, and other neurological disorders are rising simultaneously. Using The Parkinson’s Plan as a starting point, they unpack a growing body of evidence suggesting these diseases are not ra...

Protests across Europe are shaking up more than politics - they may be tugging on the same supply chains that set food prices in America. In this episode, Joel Salatin shares his blunt take on what’s really driving the unrest, why it matters for your grocery bill, and the overlooked reason the U.S. doesn’t have more farmers despite plenty of people who want to farm. Community Question: “If you are...

Dr. Sina interviews physician and author Dr. Suzanne Humphries about her book Dissolving Illusions and the central question it raises: were vaccines the main reason we stopped dying in large numbers from smallpox, whooping cough, measles, and polio - or did other factors play a bigger role? They discuss the current measles outbreak and trace vaccine history back to the 1800s, including the smallpo...

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...
