EP. 209: In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Kelly Ryerson, widely known on Instagram as Glyphosate Girl. Kelly, who you might remember from the film *Common Ground*, is here to explore one of the most pressing issues of our time: glyphosate in our food. We discuss its health impacts, the troubling industry corruption, and how big agriculture influences regulatory bodies like the EPA, FDA, and USDA. But it’s not all doom and gloom—Kelly also shares some hopeful developments and practical tips for a healthier lifestyle. If you’re passionate about clean food and environmental justice, you won’t want to miss this eye-opening conversation!

Rising Cancer Rates, Processing Grief, + Healing Your Relationship With Food | Kris Carr
EP. 210: I’m thrilled to share a truly special conversation with the incredible Kris Carr. It feels like a full-circle moment for me since I've followed her inspiring journey for over 13 years. Kris has been living with a challenging diagnosis for 21 years, and in this episode, she opens up about her health journey, how diet and lifestyle play a crucial role, and her empowering approach to becoming the CEO of her own health. We also explore her new book, I'm Not a Mourning Person, which deeply resonated with me given my own experiences with grief. Kris's vibrant energy and wisdom left me feeling incredibly inspired, and I know you'll find this episode just as moving and enlightening.
