Joel and Sina sit down with Nina Teicholz—an investigative science journalist and bestselling author known for shaking up everything we thought we knew about dietary fat.

In this riveting conversation, we dive headfirst into the newly proposed food pyramid for those with metabolic disease, take on stubborn myths about the low-carb lifestyle, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how some of our most familiar foods are formulated.

Nina, who holds a PhD in Nutrition, doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to questioning the status quo. Prepare for plenty of “aha” moments—and a few laughs—as we chat about why rethinking our plate composition can help fight obesity and chronic disease.

Nina’s Bio:

Nina Teicholz has a PhD in Nutrition, specifically focused on dietary guidelines. She is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat. The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, Teicholz founded The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy. She argues that diets lower in carbohydrates are a scientifically sound approach for reversing nutrition-related diseases.

Due to some technical issues, we could not salvage the first question from our Community Hour and there is some distortion throughout so some of the dialogue is clipped.

We will fix the issue on the next go-around, but for now we hope you enjoy this Month's community hour!

The U.S. cattle herd has shrunk to its lowest level since 1951 and beef prices are climbing–with no end in sight. But what’s behind this decline? And what can be done about it?

Enter Joel Salatin, the legendary farmer and regenerative agriculture expert.

In this episode, Joel breaks down what’s happening in the beef industry and why proper livestock movement—whether it’s cows, chickens, goats, or sheep—is the key to healthier animals, better land management, and, ultimately, a more resilient food supply.

But moving animals isn’t as simple as opening a gate. Joel shares his insider secrets on how to rotate livestock effectively, manage animals on steep hills and dense forests, and avoid common pitfalls that can turn your homestead into chaos.

Whether you’re a seasoned rancher, an aspiring homesteader, or just someone trying to understand why beef prices are soaring, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
