No matter how many resources of great scientific information that are available to us, how little you don’t know about the foods you eat can be the difference between living the good life and one full of sickness.

Dr. Autumn Smith, co-founder of Paleovalley and Wild Pastures, knows this all too well as a once very sick person who healed herself via nutrition (with help from Paul via CD) many years ago.

Autumn shares her life’s continuing food as medicine mission, her recent Ph.D. studies on nutrient densities of meat and her concerns about efficiency over ecology in the food industry this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Autumn’s inspiring journey on YouTube and watch her eight-part ReThink Meat series here. Follow Autumn via social media on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
