Ep. 132 - Mike Schmidt | Organic, Gluten Free, “Clean”… or Just Clever Marketing?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’ve been sold a version of health that looks good on labels… but feels off in the body.
“Organic.”
“Gluten Free.”
“Clean.”
But what if those words are less about truth… and more about trust being borrowed?
In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with nutrition coach Mike Schmidt to pull back the curtain on modern nutrition, food systems, and the silent stressors shaping our health. This conversation moves beyond surface-level advice and into the deeper layers of awareness… exploring gut health, hormones, environmental toxins, and the unseen ways our world is influencing how we feel, think, and perform.
From microplastics and water quality to misleading food labels and the rise of optimization culture, this is a grounded yet provocative exploration of what it actually means to be healthy in today’s world.
This isn’t about fear.
It’s about clarity.
Because once you see it… you can’t unsee it.
