In this deeply moving episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, Gail Fuller, a farmer, healer, and visionary who has redefined what it means to steward both land and life. Gail’s journey took him from running a 3,200-acre industrial corn and soybean operation to nurturing a 162-acre regenerative food farm. Along the way, he discovered that true healing—whether of soil, food, or self—begins with remembering our relationship to nature.
What unfolds in our conversation is not just about farming. It’s about trauma and truth, community and courage, soil and soul. Gail courageously shares his personal reckoning with mental health and the silent crisis faced by farmers across America, reminding us that healing our land and healing ourselves are inseparable journeys.
Upcoming Event
I am thrilled to share that Gail will be joining us as a speaker at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025. Alongside leading voices in medicine, science, and ecology, Gail will help us explore how reconnecting with the land can transform our health from the ground up.
