Ep. 29 - Grounded in Real Food with Jake Engelen
We sit down with regenerative farmer Jake Engelen to get real about why health starts with soil. We talk about how sourcing shapes nutrition, why seasonal eating matters, and how rotational grazing with ruminants and chickens rebuilds land and nutrient density. We explore the biodiversity you can feel on a healthy farm, the difference you can taste in eggs, dairy, and produce, and the way convenience culture and chemicals creep into our kitchens and bodies. Jake shares his journey from the Marine Corps to Wall Street to living on the land, how purpose showed up through hard work and honeybees, and what it takes to grow thriving food without shortcuts. We offer simple first steps to support local farms, shop more often and closer to home, swap plastics for glass, and let nature do what it’s designed to do. Pay the doctor or pay the farmer becomes more than a slogan as we reconnect with where our meals come from and why it matters for all of us.
