412: From Seed to Harvest: How True Leaf Market Can Help You Grow a Successful Garden with Parker Garlitz
03/13/23 • 33 min
What is Vitamin L and why is it important? What are cover crops and what do we need to know about them? How can we grow wheatgrass, sprouts, microgreens and more at home?
In episode 412 of Food Heals, Allison Melody interviews Parker Garlitz, co-founder of True Leaf Market, an independent non-GMO seed company that has been curating premium seed brands since 1974 to answer these questions and more.
Parker says, the modern diet often lacks food that is actually alive when you eat it, as even grocery store produce has been off the vine for days to weeks before it gets to you. Living foods such as sprouts, microgreens, wheatgrass juice, and fresh garden produce eaten right after harvest can provide valuable nutrition.
"We believe that everyone should have access to indoor and outdoor growing," said Garlitz. "We want to build and rebuild communities through growing by making it an accessible practice for all. We hope everyone can experience the joy of growing."
Garlitz also discussed the benefits of growing cover crops, which he says is the most affordable and naturally sustainable way to revitalize garden soil for the coming growing season.
True Leaf Market curates premium brands such as Mountain Valley Seeds for conventional, Sustainable Seeds for organics, Kitazawa Seeds for Asian varieties, Mountain Valley Hybrids for F1 varieties, and Handy Pantry for sprouting. The company is dedicated to helping anyone begin growing and provides customer support and online growing information.
"We are intent on building strong relationships with suppliers, customers, and the home garden seed industry alike, to ensure that we are providing the best seed possible," said Garlitz. "We hope you'll make us your seed company of choice."

413: The Gut Connection: How Chronic Conditions, Infertility, and Autoimmune Diseases are Directly Connected to Your Microbiome and How to Shift Your Diet, Mindset, and Lifestyle to Heal with Naturopath Katherine Maslen
Did you know that chronic disease is the number one thing killing us in 2023? Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people each year worldwide, equivalent to 71% of all deaths globally. That statistic is staggering. Don’t become a statistic! Instead listen to today's episode of Food Heals with Katherine Maslen, Naturopath and Founder of The Shift Clinics in Australia.
When addressing the cause of chronic disease, the number one thing we need to talk about is gut health. What do cancer, autoimmune diseases, allergies, mental health and fertility all have in common? The gut.
That’s right! Your microbiome does everything from digesting food to absorbing minerals to regulating your immune system and your hormones. All disease begins in the gut... and that’s where healing begins as well! So in this week’s episode we couldn’t wait to interview an international expert on the topic of gut health, Katherine Maslen.
Katherine got into nutrition after witnessing a close friend’s journey through lupus, an autoimmune disease. As she got sicker, her medicine cabinet grew, yet none of these medications had any positive effect on her health. She passed away at just 52.
Katherine knew there just had to be a better way. This is what led her to create the Shift Clinic, an international wellness company that is changing the face of health and empowering people to take control of their healing journey.
Check out Katherine’s book Get Well Stay Well to discover the secrets to get back in touch with your body and start thriving.
