Dr. Libby Weaver | Unveiling the Emotional Undercurrents of Our Dietary Choices14 Aug 202401:35:19
 

In this insightful episode, Dr. Libby Weaver discusses the often-overlooked connection between our emotional state, biochemistry, and dietary choices. Many individuals adopt strict dietary practices under the guise of health when, in reality, these choices are driven by underlying fears and a quest for control or perfection. Dr. Weaver stresses the importance of recognising when health-focused behaviours are actually fueled by deeper emotional issues, which can manifest as food restriction or an unhealthy focus on body image.

She emphasises the need for a holistic approach that considers not just physical nutrition but also emotional well-being, highlighting how psychological factors can significantly influence our eating habits and overall health.

Nicole Masters the Soil Siren- unseen nature, the attack on carbon and indigenous pyramids19 Jun 202302:32:05

After the disturbance to international travel during the last few years Charlie finally caught up with Nicole in person at Jillamatong, a Biodynamic regenerative farm at Braidwood NSW, on the day after Nicole’s leadership training course. Whilst Nicole is a world leader herself in soil science and an expert on all things underground, the topic of soil was a mere excuse to discuss a myriad of other subjects related to soil and landscape, like Bigfoot, introduced animal species, the relationship between love and trauma, rewriting history and the nature of polarisation.

Tom Mulligan | Continuing the legacy of holistic farm management, with a grass fed twist.23 Jan 202302:05:08

Tom Mulligan is a member of the Highland Beef Pastoral Beef grazier group which fattens stock in partnership with Highland Beef. His skill in doing so is the result of growing up in the country, working on the farm, his openness to education and training, and being a keen observer of nature and animal behaviour. Tom is a stand-out example of the opportunity Highland Beef presents to graziers who want to tell their story and contribute to a robust, transparent grass-fed beef supply system.
