Benji Backer (conservative environmentalist and founder of the American Conservation Coalition) is my guest for tomorrow's (Saturday) livestream! We are hoping to start at 9:30A PST but y'all know my "producer" can be a little unreliable when it comes to deadlines. Anyway, here's my interview with him from 2019 when I was at KING. We are going to talk about the issues they're focusing on, what it's like being a conservative on a liberal college campus (University of Washington) as well as his appearance on The Rubin Report!
I was a chronic first-thing-after-waking-up coffee drinker for probably 20 years. I didn’t think anything of walking from my bedroom straight to the stove to start boiling water for my French press. I thought that was “healthy” - especially since my coffee was organic. Little did I know the abuse I was putting my gut through, spiking stress hormones and increasing stomach acid.
When I hit my 40s, my body rebelled against my routine. I switched my morning drink to meat broth about 3 years ago. I learned from Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride (GAPS diet) that meat broth is better for beginners than bone broth because it has fewer histamines. Bone broth is still highly nutritious because the longer simmering time produces a high mineral content, once you've begun healing your gut with meat broth and your body tolerates it.
I still drink matcha or coffee but never first thing. I no longer “get right to work” while the kids are still sleeping. I start my day in silent communion with...
My friend's cow ran off during her grandson's birthday party. We went on the chase in her peach fields and found Emmy enjoying freedom with a side of fresh grass.
Emmy produces 6 GALLONS of milk a day at peak! It's full of vitamin K2 which our body needs to absorb vitamin D into our bones. That's why I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. Instead of JUST a butter oil or JUST a fish oil, it's both packed together so I get the most bioavailability out of both. It ended my battle with chronic cavities.

Sassy got a pedicure today and the farrier used a blowtorch. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen this done but she didn’t seem to even notice. Then again she wasn’t looking at the fire blowing on her hoof! 🙈
I keep my nails healthy without a blowtorch - instead I use the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture! It’s packed with vitamins A, D & K from wild caught fish and milk produced by cows eating nutrient dense spring grass. Ditch the generic cheap fish oil.
