  • In this episode of the In Search of Sovereignty Podcast, I talk with Carrie Bennett, Quantum Health Educator & Clinician (@carriebwellness on social media) about circadian rhythm and just how important our "light environment" is for our overall health.

    Every process in our bodies is dictated by light signals in our environment. All of our hormones, including all the sex hormones like pregnenolone, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, the hormones for alertness like cortisol and adrenaline, the thyroid hormones and ATP production, the sleep hormone melatonin, the energy and fat regulation hormones leptin and insulin, the mood and reward system regulation hormones serotonin and dopamine, and literally ALL other hormones in the body are produced based on the body's biological clock - which is informed by light signals throughout the day.

    Infrared at sunrise and sunset, UVA light at mid-morning and mid-afternoon, UVB light during mid-day (UVB is NOT bad for us, it's an important signal that we need and safe exposure to it has been shown to increase testosterone levels) are all crucial signals that tell our brain what chemical processes to do and when.

    Light affects digestion, it tells our bodies when we should be eating versus when we should be sleeping. It affects fertility in a major way, due to the impact it has on our hormones. We say "circadian rhythm health," but in reality, circadian rhythm health = overall health. It majorly affects our sleep quality - without light in your eyes in the morning, your bodies doesn't start building up tryptophan, which gets converted into serotonin throughout the day, which then gets converted into melatonin at night. Without adequate light exposure, there isn't enough melatonin to trigger sleepiness. This is further exacerbated by exposure to biologically disruptive artificial blue lights at inappropriate times throughout the day.

  • In this episode, I interview Natalie Ashker Seevers, Executive Director of TN Local Food, and discuss her mission to make high quality food more widely accessible.

    Unlocking the Secrets of Sustainable Agriculture: Journey From Conventional to Regenerative Growing Practices

    🌱 Unearth the critical differences between conventional and regenerative agriculture, revealing the path to a more sustainable food system.

    Main Topics Explored:

    Embracing Regenerative Agriculture: Diving into the core tenets of regenerative farming, focusing on practices that enhance soil health, biodiversity, and natural fertilization.

    Challenging Conventional Agriculture Myths: Questioning the notion of "conventional" farming and shedding light on the historical roots of regenerative practices among indigenous communities.

    Navigating Transition Challenges: Unveiling the complexities that farmers face when transitioning from conventional to regenerative methods, including economic and resource hurdles.

    Questioning Corporate Influence: Examining the impact of agribusiness corporations on shaping farming practices and the agricultural landscape.

    Defining Food Sovereignty: Grasping the concept of food sovereignty, where communities reclaim control over their food systems and promote sustainable, localized production.

    Reconnecting with Nature: Discussing the disconnection between modern urban life and nature, causing people to be unaware of their role in environmental stewardship.

    Unpacking Industrial Impacts: Delving into the consequences of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and their effects on ecosystems, health, and local communities.

    Fostering Community Awareness: Highlighting the need for educating and collaborating among farmers, consumers, and communities to foster positive change in agriculture.

    Building a Sustainable Future: Engaging in the larger conversation about transitioning toward a more regenerative, community-based food system that works with the environment instead of against it.

    Embark on this enlightening exploration of agricultural practices, sustainability, and the transformative potential of reconnecting with the land.

  • What does it mean to be "embodied?" We, as modern humans, often find ourselves stuck in cycles of "fight or flight" mode, with our nervous systems unable to ever really relax. How can we use breath as a tool to turn off the sympathetic nervous system response and restore ourselves to the parasympathetic state of "rest and digest?" Lastly, women all over the world are experiencing a renaissance of divine femininity, have you felt the calling, too?

  • What do pineal glands, tap water, dentists, soil, and ayahuasca have in common?

    In this episode, Erika Nolan and I talk about the journey to finding sovereignty through homesteading, homeschooling, permaculture, becoming a small business owner, cultivating authenticity online, and everything in between. We discuss health and wellness and how that extends beyond just the food you eat, we talk about pursuing your dreams, what it takes to start a business, how being truly connected with nature is the basis of self-awareness, and how the path forward for humanity lies in creating local economies and parallel structures.
