THREE REASONS ORGANIC IS WORTH THE MONEY
03/01/23 • 16 min
EPISODE SUMMARY
Organic food is more expensive than its conventional counterpart most of the time. This especially the case for animal proteins like eggs, dairy, and meat. But it is it worth the extra $$? What are we really paying for when we reach for a third party certified organic labeled food like USDA Organic? And how can we know it is organic?
I answer these questions plus explain some of the following basics around organic guidelines:
- What does the organic certification mean?
- When is the third party organic certification important?
- Is BUY LOCAL the same as organic?
- Is the Organic Certified label needed at the farmers' market?
By the end of the episode you will have at least three reasons to support organic agriculture at the farmers' market and your neighborhood grocery store.

FOOD AS MEDICINE-CONVERSATION WITH DR. GEETA MAKER CLARK
EPISODE SUMMARY
I love this episode. You will find so much inspiration embedded in these 30 minutes of conversation with Integrative Medicine Specialist, Dr. Geeta Maker Clark. After my conversation with this incredible human, a new idea emerged, inspired by her FOOD As POWER course she teaches with her medical students to middle schoolers in South Chicago.
I have a feeling that I am not the only one who will walk away from this episode feeling new energy to do the work I'm designed to do just like Geeta.
You can learn more about Dr. Geeta maker Clark here.

EPISODE SUMMARY
On this episode, I'm joined by Beatriz Barnes, a sophomore in high school, and journalist on her school paper. After Bea reached out to me with a series of thoughtful questions for her school paper for an article she wrote on EAT LESS WATER and regenerative agriculture, I invited her to the podcast to ask me the questions.
I think you will be as impressed by Bea and her questions as I was.
