Roots So Deep: Healing Soil, Healing Souls with Peter Byck
Click here to book time with Dr.Randy!
In this transformative episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy Michaux sits down with acclaimed filmmaker and professor Peter Byck, director of the groundbreaking docuseries Roots So Deep. Together, they explore how regenerating soil can regenerate the soul—and why healthy land might be the missing piece in reversing the chronic health crisis.
Peter shares the backstory behind Roots So Deep, a four-part docuseries that compares adaptive multi-paddock grazing (AMP) to conventional grazing methods. The difference? One system depletes the land and increases farmer stress and debt, while the other restores biodiversity, multiplies forage, and fosters connection—to nature, to each other, and to purpose.
The conversation connects the dots between:
- Soil health and human health
- The microbial world in our gut and the one under our feet
- How modern farming practices mirror the chronic disease epidemic
- Why true healing is less about killing off symptoms and more about returning to alignment
Dr. Randy and Peter also get deeply personal, reflecting on spiritual disconnect, the rising suicide rates among farmers, and how reconnecting with nature—on the farm or in our own bodies—can be a pathway back to vitality.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Adaptive grazing supports healthier soil, healthier animals, and healthier food.
- There’s a direct link between the soil microbiome and the human microbiome.
- Farmers using regenerative practices report less stress and greater purpose.
- Healing land and healing people both require diversity, balance, and stewardship.
- We must shift from a mindset of domination (“what do I kill today?”) to regeneration (“what can I give life to today?”).
