In this episode of the Meadow Podcast, Dr. Tracy Kim Townsend and Mike Townsend explore the first pillar of the Meadow Method—physical health—with a focus on food, nutrition, and our evolving relationship with what we eat. They share candid stories from childhood, college, and adulthood, reflecting on sugar, processed foods, alcohol, and cultural influences.
The conversation also examines generational differences in food culture, the impact of industrial agriculture, the role of psychedelics in healing disordered eating, and how to cultivate healthier, more intentional approaches to nourishment.
