E151: Why conventional farming practices are making us sick with Sarah Fischer

We are very excited to share today’s guest, Sarah Fischer.  Sarah is a regenerative farmer who owns and operates Nature's Pantry Farm just outside of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, where they supply farm fresh food, including 100% grass-fed beef, pastured pork and chicken, pastured free range eggs and raw milk. Growing up on the Standard American Diet (lots of processed, sugary foods), it never occurred to Sarah that the food she and her family was eating could impact their health.  After going through her own health journey, Sarah began researching the connection between true nutrition and health, and discovered that eating the right foods can actually heal chronic disease.  She also realized that the way the majority of food is produced today - with hormones, chemicals, and antibiotics, adds to the development of illness.  With this knowledge in hand, Sarah and her family completely revamped their farming practices, and are now committed to raising fresh, wholesome, pasture-raised food for their family and their community.

In today’s episode you will learn:

  • The difference between regenerative farming practices and conventional farming

  • How conventionally raised animals are contributing to people getting sick and developing food intolerances

  • What is raw and ultra-pasteurized milk and why many people can't tolerate most dairy products sold in grocery stores

  • What is a genetically modified crop

  • Simple tips to eat more whole, nourishing foods to help heal and prevent chronic diseases

We hope this episode empowers you to reach out to your local farmer and vote with your dollar to heal yourself and the planet.
