Dr. Tony Ebel interviews Joe Wanda, founder of Wanda Farms in Harvard, Illinois, about his transformation from conventional dairy farming to regenerative agriculture. Joe shares his journey from managing a 1,400-cow industrial operation to discovering Joel Salatin's principles and starting his own grass-fed operation.
This conversation reveals the striking parallels between Big Agriculture and Big Pharma - both industries that shifted from natural approaches to chemical-dependent systems. Joe and Dr. Tony explore why grass-fed meat matters most for family health, the hidden costs of conventional farming, and how regenerative practices restore soil, animal welfare, and human health.
Listeners will discover practical steps for accessing quality food and learn why this movement is essential for future generations. The episode perfectly combines Dr. Tony's "50% Iowa Farm Boy and 50% neuroscience health nerd" perspective with Joe's real-world farming expertise.
