What if the healthy food you're feeding your family… isn’t as nutritious as it used to be? Did you know that today you need to eat up to eight oranges to get the same nutrients that just one orange contained in your grandparents' generation?
Strawberries don’t taste as sweet anymore. Apples don’t brown like they used to. And modern wheat? For many of us, it’s leaving us bloated, inflamed, and struggling with symptoms we never used to see.
So what’s really happening to our food?
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by CyndiO’Meara, documentary filmmaker of What’s With Wheat, TEDx speaker, and one of Australia’s leading voices in nutrition, regenerative agriculture, and food quality to uncover what’s really happening to our food supply.
From depleted soils, modern farming practices, pesticide exposure, and long storage times… to the changes in wheat and why so many people are reacting to foods they once tolerated, this conversation connects the dots between soil health, gut health, and the rise in chronic illness.
This is a fascinating episode that will help you understand how food is grown, the choices available to you, and just how much power you have to transform your family’s health. This episode will change the way you shop, cook, and think about food, forever.
You’ll learn:
- Why today’s fruit and vegetables contain significantlyfewer nutrients than they used to
- The surprising connection between soil health and gut health
- Why some foods like dairy and gluten are now harder to tolerate and what’s happened to modern wheat
- How regenerative farming is rebuilding soil, boosting nutrients, and transforming human health
- How to shop smarter and choose more nutrient-dense foods (without blowing your budget)
