E239: Healthy soil, healthy planet with Alex Woodard

We are thrilled to introduce our guest, singer, songwriter and author, Alex Woodard.

Alex has toured nationally behind several critically acclaimed albums, earning a few prestigious industry nods while sharing the stage with some of his heroes. 

His most recent release, Ordinary Soil, written in collaboration with triple-board certified MD turned regenerative agriculture warrior Zach Bush, follows a generational farming family haunted by a ghost from the past. Amongst early endorsers is Woody Harrelson, who offered "Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of the American heartland, but also offers a glimpse into a better future... a call to action for all of us.”

Alex lives with four horses, two dogs, two chickens, and two beautiful humans on a small ranch near the California coast.

In this conversation we dive into: 

  • How our current conventional farming system is damaging our soil.

  • Why it's important to examine our relationship with the earth and the environment and to pay close attention to what we put into our bodies.

  • How as a society, we have become deeply disconnected from nature, leading to the degradation of our soil and food systems.

  • How and what action to take today. Don't wait until it’s convenient or we have more time.

  • How to improve soil health, which will ultimately improve the health of our planet and all human beings on this earth.
