202: Regenerative Agriculture 101 | What’s really in your meat, animal welfare and why it matters with Jenny Harris of White Oak Pastures

Hello friends!

I have a brand new live podcast episode and today I’m talking about something so close to my heart: where our food actually comes from.

I’m joined by the amazing Jenny Harris, fifth generation farmer and director of marketing at White Oak Pastures, a leading regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. If you’ve ever stood in the aisle at the grocery store wondering what « regenerative » or « pastured » actually means (and if it’s worth it), this episode will answer ALL of that for you.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

• What Regenerative Agriculture Really Means and Why It Goes Beyond ‘Sustainable’
• The three shifts (industrialized, commercialized, centralized) that changed agriculture for the worse and how White Oak Pastures is swinging the pendulum back
• Why animal welfare is more than being ‘cage free’ and what it really looks like to let animals express their instinctive behavior
• How soil health relates directly to the nutrient density of your food
• Why White Oak Pastures Ditched Pesticides and Chemical Fertilizers and the Wild Story of How They Started Using Them in the First Place
• How multi-species grazing actually works as a natural alternative to chemicals
• The case for regional food systems and why your local farmer is more important than a big national brand
• How YOU can support renewable farmers beyond just voting with your dollar

And much more!!

This episode is a friendly reminder that eating well isn’t all about macros and calories, it’s about knowing and trusting where your food comes from.

If any of my healthcare professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go heal others, which I think is a beautiful quest. You can absolutely join if you are not currently working in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs do not start down this path. They are friends who want to learn more about health and wellness and want to share that information with those they love. You can do this as a passion or start a whole new career.
