Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration

Coming up with climate solutions, no matter how beneficial or positive they may be for the greater good, has become so polarized. What does it take to bring people from both sides together and develop efforts that could satisfy everyone? Corinna Bellizzi chats with someone who is doing exactly that: Peter Simek, CEO of EarthX. He shares the hard work needed to unite leaders across businesses, policies, and industries to vastly accelerate solutions for a sustainable future. Peter also discusses the benefits of aligning bottom-line economic incentives with positive outcomes, the ideal way to scale sustainable projects, and the immense power of local action in building a more environmentally friendly world.

The climate crisis is not only a technological or policy challenge — it is also a crisis of worldview. In this powerful conversation, Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Osprey Orielle Lake, founder and executive director of the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), about how climate justice movements around the world are working to transform our relationship with nature, power, and community. Osprey’s work bridges grassroots activism, Indigenous leadership, international climate negotiations, and legal innovations like the Rights of Nature movement. Drawing from her book The Story Is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis, she explores how systems like colonization, extractive economics, and patriarchy have shaped today’s ecological crises — and how new stories rooted in reciprocity, justice, and stewardship can guide the path forward. This conversation explores the role of Indigenous knowledge in climate solutions, the fight against fossil fuel expansion, the growing global push for legal protections for ecosystems, and the importance of community-led restoration efforts around the world. Originally recorded in 2024, this episode remains deeply relevant today as movements for climate justice, land stewardship, and ecological restoration continue to gain momentum globally. Key Topics in This Episode Why the climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of worldview The role of Indigenous knowledge and leadership in climate solutions The Rights of Nature movement and legal frameworks that protect ecosystems The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative Climate justice and the risks faced by frontline land defenders Reforestation projects led by women restoring ecosystems and communities Why global transformation requires both systemic change and cultural shifts About Osprey Orielle Lake Osprey Orielle Lake is the Founder and Executive Director of the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), an international organization that works with grassroots, Indigenous, and frontline communities to advance climate justice and a just transition to renewable energy. She serves on the Executive Committee for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature and the Steering Committee for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative.

Coffee is the richest source of dietary antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in the American diet. But behind every cup of coffee is a global story that spans centuries of cultural transformation, health science, and a tangled web of trade ethics. Corinna Bellizzi delves into this topic with Chris Kilhan, medicine hunter and author of The Way of Coffee. Together, they unpack the role of coffee in social transformation, particularly with critical tensions in the coffee trade and the nonstop price increase due to the “coffee shop culture.” Chris also presents potential solutions to solve the biggest problems of the global botanical trade to radically improve consumer prices and provide better opportunities to small farmers, the heroes behind our most delicious cups of coffee. About Guest: Chris Kilham is a medicine hunter, author, educator and yogi. The founder of Medicine Hunter Inc., Chris has conducted medicinal plant research and sustainable botanical sourcing in over 50 countries. Chris works with companies to develop and popularize traditional plant-based food and medicinal products into market successes.

As human beings, we are built for relationship. Yet many of the leadership models we inherit are hierarchical, extractive, and rooted in struggle. In this conversation, Nina and I explore: What relational leadership really means Why empathy, vulnerability, and collaboration are strengths — not weaknesses How climate justice, racial equity, gender equity, and economic reform are deeply interconnected Why “solving for pattern” (in the spirit of Wendell Berry) leads to cascading regenerative benefits The importance of integrating restorative, regenerative rhythms into our leadership and lives Nina also reflects on redefining sacrifice, embracing conflict as a doorway to deeper relationship, and leading from wholeness rather than burnout. Why This Matters Now We are living through overlapping crises — climate instability, political gridlock, reproductive rights rollbacks, and widening inequity. Nina reminds us that these are not separate issues, but interconnected systems. We will not achieve climate justice without racial and gender equity. We will not build regenerative economies without collaborative leadership. And we cannot solve systemic problems while remaining disconnected from one another — or from the Earth. Relational leadership invites us to lead not from dominance, but from interdependence. About Nina Simons Nina Simons is Co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers and leads its Everywoman’s Leadership program. Throughout her career across nonprofit, social entrepreneurship, corporate, and philanthropic sectors, Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders to cultivate mutual learning, trust, and transformative leadership.

Human progress may be beneficial to human society, but it is usually achieved at the cost of the lives of other species. Corinna Bellizzi explores how we interrupt the movement and migration of wild animals with Hillary Rosner, a science journalist, editor, and author. Together, they discuss how human-made fences and borders, the privatization of land, and the displacement of indigenous stewardship hinder countless animals from moving freely from one place to another, leading to their dwindling population. Hillary also explains what it takes to create large-scale solutions to solve this ecological problem, and why it all starts with shifting our consciousness to see the world from an animal’s perspective.

(Originally recorded July 28, 2024 for another podcast Corinna once hosted, Nutrition Without Compromise — shared with permission.) Aging is often framed as inevitable decline. But what if much of what we call “aging” is actually preventable disease accumulation? In this essential re-release episode, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Michael Greger, physician, internationally recognized speaker, and founder of NutritionFacts.org. Dr. Greger’s latest book, How Not to Age, builds on the groundbreaking work of How Not to Die and How Not to Diet — translating peer-reviewed science into practical guidance for living longer and healthier. In this conversation, we explore: The difference between lifespan and healthspan Why excess protein may accelerate aging pathways The myth of “incomplete” plant proteins Fish consumption, pollution, and algae-based Omega-3 alternatives Autophagy, spermidine, and cellular repair The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and DHA The promise of lifestyle medicine in addressing Alzheimer’s and chronic disease This episode launches a curated Care More Be Better re-share series highlighting foundational health conversations that remain deeply relevant today.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and abuse. Sex trafficking does not only happen “somewhere else.” It thrives in silence, misunderstanding, and systems that fail to protect vulnerable youth. In this re-released episode of Care More Be Better, Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Melody C. Miller about her documentary California’s Forgotten Children and the real-world impact it has had in schools, communities, and institutions across the United States. Melody began this work as a teenager, believing trafficking was a distant issue, only to discover that students from her own high school were being exploited. That realization led her to volunteer with survivor-led organizations, undergo trauma-informed training, and ultimately spend five years creating a film that centers survivor voices and equips communities with tools for prevention and response. This conversation is also deeply personal. Corinna shares her own experience of running away at thirteen and the vulnerability that follows when young people are left without safety, support, or options. Together, she and Melody unpack what sex trafficking actually looks like, how grooming and coercion operate, and why language, awareness, and informed action matter. Rather than focusing on perpetrators or sensational stories, this episode centers: Survivor-led insight Community-based prevention Trauma-informed response Practical guidance for recognizing and reporting exploitation Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how trafficking hides in plain sight—and how ordinary people can help interrupt it without putting themselves or others at risk.

Every single person in the human race wants to build a better world and a brighter future for the next generation. But why is the climate discourse constantly diminished by cancel culture? Corinna Bellizzi explores this distressing social issue with climate strategist and advocate for sustainable change, Jenny Morgan. Delving into her book, Cancel Culture in Climate, Jenny discusses what it takes to get rid of the perfectionism and purist mindset that puts the entire climate movement to a halt. She explains how to participate in hopeful climate conversations that simplify the overwhelming climate problem, the importance of transparency and clarity in corporate social responsibility, and how to make the younger generation more climate and environmentally sensitive.

This episode of Care More Be Better is intentionally different. Rather than analysis or debate, host Corinna Bellizzi shares the direct audio of comedian and actor Matt Braunger reading a letter written by his cousin — a father, neighbor, and resident of the Twin Cities — who felt compelled to document what daily life has become like amid intensified federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis–St. Paul. The letter is not a political essay. It’s a witness account — grounded in everyday details like children’s activities, neighborhood text threads, and community members stepping into unexpected roles of care and resistance. Through this deeply human lens, the episode explores how large political forces manifest quietly inside ordinary life. After the audio, Corinna reflects on what it means to bear witness without panic, how media fragmentation and algorithm-driven news shape public understanding, and why democracy depends not only on elections, but on relationships, mutual care, and informed attention. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own communities, examine where they get their information, and consider small but meaningful ways to stay engaged, connected, and informed — before fear becomes routine.

A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi In this solocast, Corinna Bellizzi zooms out from the headlines to examine a deeper and more unsettling reality: the world is not moving together on climate action. Instead, nations are choosing very different paths — shaped by energy dependence, political cycles, economic pressures, and fear-driven narratives. Building on last week’s episode, The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy, this conversation explores why global climate leadership is diverging, how policy instability and “climate whiplash” undermine progress, and why regenerative leadership offers a credible path forward amid uncertainty. Rather than focusing on doom or delay, this episode reframes divergence as a signal — one that reveals where systems are breaking down, where new models are emerging, and where leadership rooted in care, systems thinking, and long-term resilience is quietly reshaping the future. In This Episode, You’ll Explore: Why a unified global climate response was always more myth than reality How energy dependence and political cycles drive divergent climate paths What “climate whiplash” is — and why instability may be as dangerous as inaction Why regenerative approaches change the climate conversation entirely Where regenerative leadership is already emerging beyond national politics What systems literacy, moral courage, and place-based wisdom look like in practice How to stay grounded and hopeful in a world moving in many directions at once Related Episode The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy: Progress, Pushback, & the Battle for a Regenerative Future This solocast sets the stage by examining recent global climate policy wins and rollbacks.

Guest: Dr. William W. Li, NYT-Bestselling Author of Eat to Beat Disease Originally Recorded: May 2022 on Nutrition Without Compromise Sponsor of Original Episode: ÖRLÖ Nutrition Co-Hosts: Corinna Bellizzi & Tia Walden This episode is shared with permission from Nutrition Without Compromise and ORLO Nutrition.  Episode Summary Today’s bonus episode comes from the archives of a show I once hosted—Nutrition Without Compromise—a series created to explore nourishment that never sacrifices human health, planetary health, or ethical integrity. While Dr. Li has joined us on Care More Be Better a few times, this conversation has never before aired here, and it remains one of my favorites. Dr. William Li, internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the bestseller Eat to Beat Disease, breaks down the body’s five health defense systems, the science of using food as medicine, and how we can personalize nutrition to strengthen immunity, support longevity, and reduce disease risk. We talk about dietary diversity, the joy of eating, the role of omega-3s, the pitfalls of low-quality supplements, and how modern research is reframing what it means to live vibrantly at every age. This episode originally aired under the sponsorship of ÖRLÖ Nutrition, makers of carbon-negative, algae-based omega-3s grown in Iceland using clean geothermal energy. Their commitment to regenerative nutrition aligned beautifully with the ethos of that show—and with the work we continue here. Topics We Cover Dr. Li’s journey from medical researcher to food-as-medicine pioneer The Five Health Defense Systems: angiogenesis, stem cells, microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity Why dietary diversity—not restriction—is the foundation of vibrant health How food can enhance medical treatments, not just prevent disease The rise of planetary-aware eating and the importance of responsible sourcing Omega-3s: fish vs. algae, and why quality matters The 5x5x5 framework for daily eating without rigidity How lifestyle, joy, and cultural food traditions shape well-being Dr. Li’s free masterclasses and practical tips for getting started Referenced In This Episode Eat to Beat Disease by Dr. William W.

A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi This week, the global sustainability landscape delivered a swirl of conflicting signals — bold progress in some regions, dramatic rollbacks in others, and powerful reminders that our environmental challenges are deeply interconnected. In this solo episode, or "solocast," Corinna unpacks five major developments shaping the future of climate action, environmental justice, and regenerative systems worldwide. From a landmark U.S. court ruling in support of offshore wind, to the UN’s latest warning about our interwoven planetary crises, to troubling policy back-steps in Australia and Europe, and finally, a promising regenerative agriculture initiative here in the United States. This episode explores what these stories mean when viewed not as separate headlines, but as parts of a bigger, systemic whole. We are living in a moment of climate contradiction. Together, these global events reveal a world choosing dramatically different pathways: one extractive, one regenerative. Which one becomes our shared future depends on the choices we make today. FULL BLOG PAGE WITH TRANSCRIPTS: https://caremorebebetter.com/the-global-crossroads-of-climate-policy-progress-pushback-and-the-battle-for-a-regenerative-future/ In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why a U.S. federal judge’s ruling on offshore wind is a quiet but powerful climate victory How the UN is reframing climate, biodiversity loss, pollution, and land degradation as one interconnected crisis What motivated Queensland, Australia, to scrap its renewable energy targets and extend coal until 2049 Why the EU is considering easing environmental rules for AI data centers and gigafactories How the USDA’s new $700M regenerative agriculture pilot could reshape American farming and rural economies What these decisions reveal about the diverging worldviews shaping global climate policy How systems thinking can help us make sense of this geopolitical climate whiplash Referenced News Stories U.S. Offshore Wind Ruling (AP News): https://apnews.com/article/a8c2f1201ac6b0607e8c4a1c36e651ba UN Interconnected Crisis Report (AP News): https://apnews.com/article/584715f6fd7ed32a8cf993120ef2a8aa Queensland Renewable Rollback (The Australian): https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/renewable-energy-economy/queensland-governments-scrapped-renewable-energy-target-outrages-environmental-groups/news-story/5c9a08f778461c425e8fdb3972f15ef2 EU Considering Environmental Exemptions (The Guardian): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/10/eu-proposes-exempting-ai-gigafactories-from-environmental-assessments USDA Regenerative Agriculture Pilot (USDA Press Release): https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/12/10/usda-launches-new-regenerative-pilot-program-lower-farmer-production-costs-and-advance-maha-agenda Next Week on Care More Be Better — A New Solocast This episode sets the stage for a deeper exploration of global divergence in climate leadership.

Storytelling can inspire us to take action on the ever-worsening climate crisis. Ali Horriyat and Cathryn Bancroft join forces in writing a new cli-fi book, The Hollow Age, which dares to ask the question: if our planet burns, do we run to another planet or risk everything to save it? Together with Corinna Bellizzi, they discuss how they use fiction to shed light on the alarming realities of the earth right now. Ali and Cathryn also break down the best ways to address the immigration problem in the United States and what it truly takes to begin a social revolution that leads to a real difference. COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT: https://caremorebebetter.com/into-the-hollow-age-with-ali-horriyat-cathryn-bancroft/ About Guests: Ali and Cathryn are the co-authors of new cli-fi dystopian novel "The Hollow Age," from Compassiviste Publishing.

How much is enough at the holidays? In this solo episode of Care More Be Better, host Corinna Bellizzi reflects on the spirit of giving at Christmas and beyond: how we can shift from consumerism to connection, from “more stuff” to more meaning. Drawing inspiration from her earlier interview with Stephanie Seferian, host of Sustainable Minimalists and author of Sustainable Minimalism, Corinna explores: The Four Gift Rule and Seven Gift Rule Why experiences and group gifts (like memberships or trips) often outlast toys Ideas for spreading gifts across the 12 Days of Christmas How minimalism and sustainability can deepen joy instead of limiting it Simple, family-friendly ways to give more intentionally—and waste less Whether you’re already practicing minimalism or you’re just feeling overwhelmed by holiday “stuff,” this episode offers a gentler, more regenerative way to celebrate.

With the increasing number of huge industrial mills across the country, one of the most essential parts of our food system is also being industrialized: flour. Kevin Morse, CEO and co-founder of Cairnspring Mills, talks about his mission to bring organic flour into the mainstream market and the important role of community-rooted mills in achieving that goal. He joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how regenerative farming practices, healthy farmer relations, and sustainable food manufacturing are keys to producing nutrient-rich flour and bringing value back to local grain communities. Kevin also sheds light on how smallholder farmers are facing their toughest times right now due to the commodity system, trade wars, and the rapid corporate takeover. About Our Guest: As CEO and co-founder of Cairnspring Mills, Kevin Morse taps into his deep experience as a farmer, economic development leader, conservationist and community builder and applies his can-do spirit to build the mill from the ground up. Kevin recognized that building a new regional grain milling business would bring value back to the community and farmers and was a critical part of revitalizing the local food system. An incorrigible optimist deeply rooted in the beautiful Skagit Valley, Kevin is an outdoorsman, avid fisherman and an Italian who loves to cook and bake.

The worsening climate change continues to deliver an adverse impact on our food system, which leads to supply shortages and the rise of less nutritious sources. Maddie Hamann strives to solve this alarming problem through the PACHA bread. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how their organic gluten-free sourdough buckwheat bread is making huge waves in revitalizing the food industry. Maddie explains how PACHA bread helps heal both people and the planet, prioritizing taste and nutrition above anything else. She also shares how they team up with regenerative farmers across the country to help accelerate the growth of highly sustainable communities. COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT https://caremorebebetter.com/breaking-bread-for-a-better-planet-the-pacha-story-with-maddie-hamann About Guest: Madeleine Hamann is a PhD oceanographer turned regenerative entrepreneur and co-founder of PACHA, a company reimagining bread through sprouted, sourdough buckwheat loaves and tortillas. After years studying climate change, Maddie realized that knowledge alone wouldn’t solve the crisis — action would. She left academia to build a business that nourishes both people and planet, leveraging the healthy-eating market to accelerate farmers’ transitions to regenerative agriculture. Drawing on her diverse background in civil engineering, ocean science, project management, and creative production, Maddie scaled PACHA from a homegrown idea to six-figure monthly revenue in under a year. A self-described “renaissance woman,” she brings systems thinking, adaptability, and a deep sense of purpose to every project she touches. Maddie’s work embodies the belief that true sustainability starts at the intersection of food, community, and ecological regeneration.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are so widespread today that it is present in the soil, air, food, and water. Since they are hidden in almost all kinds of everyday products, the PFAS crisis in the United States will only get worse – unless we do something about it. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Rachel Frazin, an energy and environment reporter at The Hill, who talks about her new book that tackles how these “forever chemicals” are damaging numerous communities across the country. Rachel breaks down the most common diseases caused by PFAS exposure, from birth defects to fertility issues. She also shares how huge waves of changes are being made to address this crisis, and how everyday people can join the movement.   About Guest: Rachel Frazin covers energy and environment policy for The Hill: that’s everything from climate change to gasoline prices to toxic chemicals to renewable and fossil energy.

When Gabe Brown saw firsthand how regenerative agriculture significantly transformed their family farm, he committed himself to spreading the word about the importance of taking care of the soil. In this conversation with Corinna Bellizzi, he breaks down his work as one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement that eliminates the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. Gabe explores the six principles of soil health, the four ecosystem processes, and the importance of local food sourcing.

The environment is one huge organism, and cooperation allows it to thrive and survive. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Kristin Ohlson, who talks all about cooperation, resilience, and generosity in both human and ecological systems in her book, “Sweet in Tooth and Claw.” Kristin explores various examples of natural cooperation, from plants and microbes in the soil to aquatic animals and coral reefs. She also talks about the importance of human cooperation in rehabilitating soil health and elevating regenerative farming practices. This conversation is truly an eye-opener on how individualism is slowly killing nature and society – and why working together is the only way to unlock lasting growth.

Mollie Engelhart’s journey from vegan chef and Los Angeles restaurateur to regenerative farmer in California and Texas is anything but ordinary. In her new book, Debunked by Nature, Mollie shares how motherhood, land stewardship, and firsthand farming experience dismantled long-held beliefs about veganism, soil health, and politics. In this candid conversation, we explore her personal and political transformation, the realities of running Sovereignty Ranch, and how she navigates both the ecological and ideological divides in today’s regenerative agriculture movement. From raw milk revelations to the necessity of animals in building healthy soil, Mollie challenges assumptions on all sides of the aisle. We also discuss the complexity of immigration reform, the pitfalls of partisanship in environmental issues, and her vision for a more sovereign, resilient future. Whether you agree with her or not, this dialogue will make you think about food, farming, and freedom in new ways. COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT https://caremorebebetter.com/a-conservative-regenerative-farmers-journey-with-mollie-engelhart In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Mollie left veganism after becoming a farmer How regenerative farming confronts both environmental and political narratives The importance of coalition-building across ideological divides Realities of animal care and death on a regenerative farm Mollie’s approach to immigration reform and labor in agriculture Her vision for Sovereignty Ranch as a model of self-reliance About Guest: Mollie Engelhart is the executive chef and founder of Sage Regenerative Kitchen in Los Angeles alongside her husband Elias as well as a leader in the Regenerative Agriculture movement with 200 acres at Sovereignty Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. Her mission is to produce healthy food from healthy soil for her communities. Mollie is the mother of five, a film producer, poet, and thought leader examining the connections of humanity, family, soil, food, and culture, constantly questioning “Where do we go from here?” She is passionate about health freedom, natural birth, breastfeeding, regenerative agriculture, community, and humanity’s place in partnership with nature and God. As a self-proclaimed lifelong liberal, Mollie became confronted with the bureaucracy that destroyed her once thriving restaurants in Los Angeles during the pandemic. Mollie came to the conclusion that the democratic party did not center around family, God or freedom and now sees herself as a “radical centrist”. Since her revelations, Mollie has done many speaking events, giving testimony to how she became pro-life, the challenges of doing business in California, regenerative agriculture and the connection between soil and health. She regularly gets standing ovations and brings people to tears with her inspiring conversations. Mollie has been featured on podcasts, news outlets, public speaking engagements and more including; Texas State University, Epoch Times, Turning Point USA, Fox News, Bon Appetit, ABC News, NPR, Luke Storey, Max Lavine, Confluence and the Exit & Build Summit.

The human footprint may not be easily measurable, but it is crucial in shaping the planet for better and for worse – but most of the time it is the latter. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, PhD, who hosts the aptly named show "Human Footprint." He talks all about his experiences traveling around the world to delve into different human activities, cultures, and lifestyles to understand how they impact our society and environment. Shane also shares insights on how supermarkets changed the way we eat, the value of humanity’s fundamental interconnectedness, the true costs of hydroelectric power, and the truth behind the bee colony collapse. About Guest: Shane is interested in how human history, culture, technology and politics influence life, biological stress and evolution of species around the world. He uses physiology, gene expression, genomics and experimentation to identify genes and traits that allow animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressures faced in a human-dominated world. Shane also has a deep passion for sharing science with the public. His own passion for science was kindled through television as a child. Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, he was not exposed to much nature or the outdoors. But watching nature documentaries and TV shows featuring passionate presenters, like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin, he developed a love for the natural world. Now Shane is sharing his own passions and the wonders of science with a diverse audience through his research as well as visual and audio media.

Today’s divisive society and political climate have been changing the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion or DEI. Instead of bringing people together regardless of social status, age, belief, or skin color, it is slowly becoming a cuss word used to demean and hurt. HR/DEI practitioner Natalie Norfus utilizes her years of problem-solving experience to address this pushback that currently hurts growth, accessibility, and opportunity in every workplace. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, she explains how DEI, despite not having a one-size-fits-all model, is crucial in dismantling the white supremacy culture. Natalie also discusses how the lack of a clear definition for DEI has led to its weaponization and how company leaders can commit to shutting down such advances.

In this episode of Care More Be Better, we compile our prior coverage of the first three chapters of Paul Hawken’s Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Focused on Oceans, Forests, and Wilding, in one refined episode. These chapters highlight how we can restore Earth’s ecosystems and regenerate Earth through vital ecosystems. 🌊 Oceans – The blue heart of our planet absorbs vast amounts of carbon, but pollution, overfishing, and acidification are pushing marine ecosystems to their limits. We discuss solutions like marine protected areas, regenerative ocean farming, and the power of kelp in carbon sequestration. 🌳 Forests – Our planet’s lungs are in crisis due to deforestation and degradation. Paul Hawken presents a vision for reforestation, agroforestry, and indigenous land stewardship as powerful tools to reverse climate damage. We break down key case studies and actionable insights from this chapter. 🦋 Wilding – Nature thrives when given the space to heal. Rewilding efforts, from Europe’s expansive wildlife corridors to North America’s prairie restoration projects, show us how restoring biodiversity can enhance climate resilience. We explore success stories and how individuals and communities can get involved. 🌎 Why This Matters: Regeneration isn’t just a concept—it’s a movement. These chapters remind us that nature holds the solutions we need, and it’s up to us to work with it. Whether it’s through ocean conservation, forest restoration, or rewilding landscapes, everyone has a role to play in healing our planet. 🔗 Resources & Links: Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation by Paul Hawken INTERVIEW WITH PAUL HAWKEN - Sept. 2021: Regeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis In One Generation with Paul Hawken, 5 Time Best-selling Author and EnvironmentalistRegeneration.org – A hub for climate solutions and community actionCarbon: The Book of Life by Paul Hawken 💡 Join the Conversation: What are your thoughts on regeneration?

Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how to build the right leadership that addresses bias, discrimination, perfectionism, and an unfair focus on hierarchy.

Growing regenerative foods is indeed a noble cause that benefits both the planet and people, but making it a sustainable reality is also an overwhelming challenge.

In this interview episode (originally published in 2022), we explore how approval voting could change the political landscape in America with Aaron Hamlin, Executive Director of The Center for Election Science. Aaron shares his journey from political intrigue in grad school to advocating for a voting method that lets voters express a broader range of candidate preferences. Approval voting, a simple yet impactful system, allows people to vote for as many candidates as they approve of, with the candidate receiving the most votes winning. By tackling vote splitting and enabling voters to support multiple candidates, approval voting seeks to foster representation and discourage extremist candidates. Aaron offers insights into the success of approval voting in Fargo, St. Louis, and upcoming initiatives in Seattle, as well as the broader potential for state and even national adoption. We discuss how this system can reduce polarization, give voters more genuine choices, and improve political continuity by enabling policies that reflect broader support. Key Highlights: What is Approval Voting? Aaron breaks down the mechanics of approval voting, explaining how it differs from the "choose one" voting system and ranked-choice voting.Real-World Success Stories: Approval voting has seen success in Fargo and St. Louis, with campaigns expanding to other cities and states.How Approval Voting Reduces Vote Splitting & Extremism: By letting voters support multiple candidates, approval voting helps prevent extremist candidates from capitalizing on vote splitting, a common pitfall in primary elections.The Road to National Adoption: Aaron shares the Center for Election Science's roadmap to implementing approval voting on a national scale, allowing states to decide how their electoral votes are assigned. Take Action Listeners inspired by this episode can learn more and join local chapters to advocate for approval voting through The Center for Election Science.

The coffee industry is indeed one of the most thriving in the world, but it has a darker and rarely discussed aspect: the plight of its farmers. They constantly face low commodity prices and get little to no support, making them highly exploited by middlemen and at risk of climate change. Bob Fish and Michelle Fish share what they are doing to salvage the coffee industry through their business, Biggby Coffee. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, the couple shares how their direct-buying model guarantees coffee farmers fair prices and helps promote regenerative farming practices. Bob and Michelle also emphasize the importance of building emotional connections between consumers and producers through their Full Circle Program. Message From Bob: My name is Bob Fish. My wife Michelle and I are on a journey to discover and unite us with the lands and the people that make this unbelievably great and natural product that we all love. We will examine and verify that what we are consuming is being produced in a humane, sustainable, and quality matter. We invite you to be right there with us as we meet the families and learn their names and their stories. Together, we will explore what it means to be on our ”One BIGG Island in Space”… oneness without boundaries. About Guests: Michelle Fish began her life as part of a family that lived in many places in the United States and Europe. By the age of 17, when she started college at Michigan State University, she had moved 13 times. She put herself through MSU by working at a local family style pancake house restaurant. By the time she graduated, she was the General Manger of that restaurant and two years later, after helping them grow from one to four locations, she owned the third one. Michelle took a year off and created with co-founder Mike McFall the concept BIGGBY COFFEE. They started with one location in 1995, added a second in 1997, and started franchising in 1999. Today, they are 100% franchised and have 408 units open in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Idaho. Bob Fish and his wife Michelle are travelling the world in search of coffee farms and farmers that are taking exceptional care of their people and the planet. Their goal is that 50% of the 2,000,000 pounds of coffee that BIGGBY COFFEE sells in a year will be farm direct by 2013. The couple tells the stories of those farmers and their journeys in a blog: ONEBIGGISLANDINSPACE.com Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biggbybob/ Guest Website: https://www.biggby.com/ https://www.onebiggislandinspace.com/ Guest Social: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_guvQGVUpo https://www.facebook.com/BiggbyCoffee.Bhappy https://www.instagram.com/biggbycoffee/ JOIN OUR CIRCLE.

The negative impact of colonial capitalism continues to be felt and experienced today, and it still hinders equity from being achieved in many parts of the world. Author and activist Rosemary J. Jolly joins Corinna Bellizzi to discuss how to dismantle colonial capitalism in effluent communities right now. She shares valuable lessons from her works on the prevention of torture, gender-based violence, and communicable diseases in poor communities in the global North and South.

About Guest: Rosemary Jolly has lived in South Africa, Lesotho, Canada and the US. She works on the prevention of torture, gender-based violence and diseases such as HIV in poor communities in the global North and South. She has co-founded rape-crisis clinics and has a passion for most forms of wildlife, even though she has been charged by a rhino (who was, after all, only protecting her baby). She is currently interested in sustainability, not simply as an environmental strategy, but in terms of wellbeing. How can we stop not only extracting from the earth unsustainably, but also from each other? How do we protect humans, non-human animals and our environments from depletion, exhaustion and despair? What are the tools for this?

This week, we're sharing an earlier conversation with Hank Dearden, who we featured in October 2022. He runs a not-for-profit called Forest Planet, and he’s able to do something truly amazing – he plants trees for just $0.15 each. How does he do it? By working within communities where the dollar goes further. He’s recently taken on a project in Morocco where they are planting fig trees, and where they are working to restore biodiversity, shifting from mono-cropped fields to biodynamic regenerative farms that incorporate more species, that reduce tillage, and that incorporate livestock. As he states on his blog page about their work in Morocco – which I’ll link to with show notes – The Right Trees, Planted in the Right Way, at the Right Time are an economically viable alternative. Before I share the episode, I also want to remind you that I’ve decided to support Hank and Forest Planet this year as my charity of choice.

It is not easy to talk about racism, misogynism, and patriarchy these days, even though they severely mess up the present state of our society. Karen, who goes by @kclmft on TikTok, bravely discusses these topics on the internet, mainly to put down the horrible concept of Trumpism and Project 2025. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how she is being hunted by the former president’s MAGA crew as she uses her online platform to call out his racist and misogynistic behavior. They two also talk about the dangers of individualism, the importance of collective human action, and the right way to keep your own racism in check. About Guest: Karen, whose handle on TikTok is @kclmft, is a women’s right activist who has a background as a licensed marriage and family therapist with over a decade of experience. She became involved in politics when Donald Trump came on the scene and she recognized his danger. Karen started making content online when she began receiving emails from his campaign, revealing the dog-whistles, the race-bating, and the all out calls to violence for all eyes to see. Because she’s been so critical of Trump, speaking out against his misogynistic behavior, his stoking of racism and division, and his connection to Project 2025, she’s under fire from Trump’s MAGA crew. For that reason, we won’t be revealing her full name, nor linking to her business on our podcast nor on our blog page. While she remains somewhat anonymous for the purposes of this interview, you are encouraged to find and follow her on TikTok @kclmft. Guest Social: https://tiktok.com/@kclmft JOIN OUR CIRCLE.

In honor of J, and my spirit animal, the sea turtle I am reposting this interview with him. His indelible mark in my life will continue to make a positive impact in the world. I will continue to bring the principles of the Blue Mind Movement to fruition through my work with this show, and as I explore the possibility of earning my PhD in Sustainability Education. -- The concept of Blue Mind has been around since the beginning of recorded human history. At present, Marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols advocates for this very concept, spreading the positive impact of water on our lives. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he talks about his book “Blue Mind” and how being in, on, or under water delivers profound transformation deep within yourself. He discusses how spending as little as 23 minutes around water – or just the feeling of it – could elevate your health and bring happiness to your state of mind. He also shares how he uses a small blue marble to spread awareness about his advocacy, educating everyone regarding their important role in saving our beloved water planet. About Guest: Dr. Wallace J. Nichols (J) has been called a water warrior, one who commits to helping others access their “blue mind state.” His visionary ideas related to ocean and aquatic ecosystems, migratory species, marine protected areas, fisheries management and plastic pollution inspire others to find a deeper connection with nature and embrace inventive approaches to issues ranging from protection of ocean life to global water supply to the mental health benefits of a life spent on or near the water. Formerly a senior scientist at Ocean Conservancy, J holds a M.E.M. degree in Natural Resource Economics and Policy from Duke University and a Ph.D. degree in Wildlife Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona. He received a Bradley Fellowship to study the impacts of sea level rise at Duke University Marine Lab, a Marshall Fellowship to study at the University of Arizona, and a Fulbright Fellowship to study at the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico marine station in Mazatlán. In 2011 he was inducted as a Fellow National member of the Explorers Club. In 2014 he received the University of Arizona's Global Achievement Award. J has authored more than 200 publications, lectured in more than 30 countries and nearly all 50 states, and appeared in hundreds of media outlets including NPR, BBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, National Geographic, Animal Planet, Time, Newsweek, GQ, Outside Magazine, USA Today, Elle, Vogue, Fast Company, Surfer magazine, Scientific American, and New Scientist. His book Blue Mind, published in summer 2014 by Little, Brown & Company, quickly became a national bestseller. It has been translated into numerous languages, most recently Mandarin, and inspired a wave of media and practical application.

Many corporations and industries nowadays focus more on earning a profit and less on supporting humanity, which is what truly matters.

The climate crisis is worsening each day that passes, and yet society continues to turn a blind eye to its alarming impact on the entire planet. Climate activist George Paxinos, celebrated as the world’s most cited neuroscientist, has decided to try a different approach to catch everyone’s attention regarding this matter: eco-fiction. Sitting down with Corinna Bellizzi, he talks about his first novel, A River Divided, a story about two parties fighting over the Amazon Rainforest. George explains how his narrative aims to challenge readers to stand up and take part in the battle of nature versus nurture. He also discusses his goal to have a reset of religion, science, and culture, as well as how the ethics of scientific exploration and climate crisis might intersect. About George Paxinos George Paxinos is a visionary neuroscientist who has discovered and mapped more brain regions than anyone in history. He uses principles of the mind, free will, and consciousness from neuroscience to shape the characters of his eco-fiction novel, A River Divided. An environmentalist himself, his novel explores some of the most important questions of the 21st Century: Is the human brain capable of solving the environmental crisis it created? Is this generation creating the conditions for the extinction of its progeny? In a battle of nature versus nurture, which will be victorious? Science and idealism are woven together in this novel about the search for meaning, for love, and for an understanding of what is important for us both as individuals and as actors in the environment. The characters of A River Divided will stay with you long after you read the powerful and evocative last sentence: “A Child, I will bring to the world a child.” Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgepaxinos Guest Website: georgepaxinos.com.au Love the show?

It's my sincere pleasure to share this deep dive with you, as Kelly and I worked to glean important information from Dr. Li - providing tools to any listener to help them turn their metabolic fire back on - so we can live our longest, fullest, and healthiest lives together. -- Corinna Bellizzi, host of Care More Be Better. SHOW NOTES: The pioneering physician scientist behind the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease reveals the science of eating your way to healthy weight loss. In his first groundbreaking book, Dr. William Li explored the world of food as medicine. By eating foods that you already enjoy, like tomatoes, blueberries, sourdough bread, and dark chocolate your body activates its five health defense systems to fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, and other debilitating conditions. Now in Eat to Beat Your Diet, Dr. Li introduces the surprising new science of weight loss, revealing healthy body fat can help you lose weight; your metabolism at 60 can be the same as when you were 20; yo-yo dieting can be good for your health; 8-hour fasting windows can be as effective as 12-hour fasting windows; and losing just a little bit of weight can have big impacts on your health. Eat to Beat Your Diet shows readers how adding the right foods to your diet can heal your metabolism, reduce unhealthy body fat, and result in the kind of weight loss that can increase your lifespan and help you thrive.

This week, I'm thrilled to share a few of my reflections and takeaways after reviewing my top episodes of all time after 3 years of podcasting. This will be our 168th episode. The primary goal of this podcast episode is to connect with my audience. What have you liked over the past 3 years? What haven't you liked? And indeed what would you like to see more of? The primary categories we've covered in this time are: Social ImpactSustainability, Regeneration and CircularityHealth & Wellness Generally, there have been 2 formats to the show. The first is the primary format -- interviews. The second is solocasts -- which are journalistic deep dives in to a particular topic, book or issue. The third is a screen shared commentary with a few different guests in a panel format (though these are rare). And we've also shared bonus episodes, where I have guested on other shows, primarily in the health & wellness space that I call my professional home. Our top podcast after 3 years of podcasting are: Tied for 1st: Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation with Paul Hawken https://caremorebebetter.com/regeneration-ending-the-climate-crisis-in-one-generation-with-paul-hawken-5-time-best-selling-author-and-environmentalist Tied for 1st: Scary Smart: Scary Smart: How Artificial Intelligence Will Change Our World with Mo Gawdat, Bestselling Author https://caremorebebetter.com/scary-smart-how-artificial-intelligence-will-change-our-world-with-mo-gawdat-bestselling-author 2nd: Indulge In A More Responsible Coffee with Mokhtar Alkhanshali, CEO of Port of Mokha, Producers of World-Renowned Coffee from Yemen https://caremorebebetter.com/indulge-in-a-more-responsible-coffee-with-mokhtar-alkhanshali-ceo-of-port-of-mokha-producers-of-world-renowned-coffee-from-yemen 3rd: Eat To Beat Disease: Reimagining Our Healthcare Systems With William W. Li, MD https://caremorebebetter.com/eat-to-beat-disease-reimagining-our-healthcare-systems-with-william-w-li-md So where do we head from here? Questions: What do you want to see more of? Interviews? Solocasts and deep dives by yours truly? Both? Something else?Do you want to continue to hear about health and wellness topics? Other topics?Is there something you feel this podcast is lacking that would make it better? It could be news updates, or a second episode each week. While I'm not able to promise these things right now, if I hear from you that they're important enough, I may be able to move mountains and make it happen. Who do you want to hear from on this show? YOU CAN RECOMMEND GUESTS -- AND EVEN ASK TO COME ON YOURSELF! What's the worse that could happen? I could say no -- but we could also become friends IRL the way Beth Craig and I have.

This is typically addressed through chemical-based techniques, which are highly effective yet lead to other environmental problems. Lawrence Field presents an ecologically safe way to eliminate algae blooms, which features the use of ultrasonic tech. He joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how certain levels of frequencies are targeted into the ocean to get rid of harmful kinds of algae without negatively impacting wildlife and humans. Lawrence also explains how algae respond to rising sea temperatures and how they plan to push their ultrasonic tech into the mainstream.

It is not surprising to find glyphosate in our bodies because it is basically everywhere. It is in the food we eat, the water we drink, the rain that falls on our roofs, and the air we breathe. Despite its rampant use, it is a poison that slowly kills us and must be eliminated from our bodies, and it all begins by getting rid of glyphosate from the soil. Joining Corinna Bellizzi is the Glyphosate Girl, Kelly Ryerson. She talks about the work needed to improve soil health by encouraging farmers to stop depending on poisonous chemicals and shift to organic agriculture. Kelly explains how glyphosate leads to anxiety, depression, and ADHD, which mainly affect children. She also talks about her documentary film and how she uses it to push the conversation about this crucial matter towards the mainstream. About Guest: Kelly Ryerson works at the intersection of agriculture and health. She regularly collaborates with farmers, scientists, policymakers and media to address agrochemical damage to our soil and bodies. She also started the news site Glyphosate Facts, which explains the link between chemical agriculture and the explosion in chronic disease. Kelly has contributed to several documentaries and news publications, co-hosts the morning show on CHDtv, and is a frequent speaker on podcasts. She is an Ambassador for The Rodale Institute. She has a BA from Dartmouth College, an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and completed training in integrative health coaching at Duke Integrative Medicine. She is featured in the new documentary, Common Ground alongside giants in regenerative organic agriculture and Hollywood icons including: Jason Mamoa, Woody Harrelson, Rosario Dawson, Laura Dern, and many more.

Genetic modified organisms or GMOs have transformed the entire food industry and global health on a massive scale. And with the recent advent of CRISPR technologies and more complex genetic engineering methods, the new landscape of GMO 2.0 has arrived. Although they are a testament to our scientific progress, they could be doing more harm than good to our bodies. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with global thought leader and author Jeffrey Smith, who presents the dangers of GMOs and genetic engineering. He explains how agrochemical/agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto continues to find legal loopholes to integrate toxic chemicals into their food products. Jeffrey also talks about the difference between hybridized and GMOs, why microbes are the hardest species to genetically engineer, and how eating organic food delivers way more benefits than you could imagine. About Jeffrey Smith: As a global thought leader on the health dangers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for over 27 years, Jeffrey Smith has authored 2 bestsellers, directed 5 documentaries, delivered 2,000 lectures and interviews in 45 countries, trained 1,500 speakers, and organized more than 10,000 grassroots advocates. Jeffrey has counseled world leaders on six continents, and his meticulous research presented at medical conferences inspired thousands to prescribe non-GMO and organic diets. The success of the GMO education movement he pioneered is measured in part by the 48% of world consumers who acknowledge GMOs are unhealthy. Taking on GMO 2.0 Jeffrey and IRT are now sounding the alarm about new genetic engineering techniques, such as gene editing. Unregulated, GMO 2.0 can cause health and environmental disasters. The most urgent danger comes from genetically engineered microbes. Jeffrey is stewarding a global effort to prevent their release.

Those of you who have been following our social media over the course of the last few weeks, or who subscribe to our newsletter have heard about the Soil & Health Forum hosted at Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma on September 16, 2023.

Adapting a fully organic diet and lifestyle requires a huge amount of effort and dedication. Mollie Engelhart responds to the call for healthier living by focusing on regenerative farming. Joining Corrina Bellizi, she talks about her work as a farm-to-table farmer who promotes organic diet by adopting a closed food loop and getting rid of the use of fertilizers. She explains the benefits of vertical farming technology, how to be mindful of excess food, and why our health is directly connected with healthy soils. Mollie also talks about how to become regenerative beyond farming and even into community-building approaches, food production, and our daily routines. About Guest: Mollie, a mother of four, is one of California's foremost advocates for regenerative farming. She uses sustainable practices on her three regenerative farms, two of which are located in California and the other in Texas. They supply fresh and organic produce to many residents as well as her four restaurants and brewery, including Sage Vegan Bistro, which is co-owned by famous actor and activist Woody Harrelson. Mollie started Sow a Heart Farm in 2018, which has become known for its exemplary regenerative practices and inspirational volunteer opportunities. The farm now delivers pesticide-free CSA produce boxes throughout the Greater Los Angeles area, and it also facilitates a sustainable food and compost loop with Mollie’s renowned restaurants. Mollie sits on the board of Kiss the Ground, the foremost soil and regenerative agriculture nonprofit that raises awareness through storytelling, education, and advocacy—it has large followings on both Instagram and Facebook. The foundation produced the film Kiss the Ground to show the potential of stabilizing Earth’s ecosystems through regenerative practices. Mollie is dedicated to living and sharing a natural and practical earth-minded lifestyle. From her regenerative farms and restaurants to her deep concern for healthy eating and holistic family life (she delivered four home births), Mollie is showing a way forward for Americans.

In 1972, the Buffalo Creek Disaster took place, where coal mining waste dams failed and caused severe flooding. This resulted in 125 casualties, while thousands were either left injured or homeless. Isabel Reddy does not want people to forget about this disaster. She is now on a mission to encourage everyone to call out poor business practices that cause destruction and save vulnerable areas from suffering. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to talk about her book, That You Remember, which is loosely based on the Buffalo Creek Disaster. Isabel explains how fictionalized stories can inspire readers to push for actual change and not simply sweep disasters under the rug. She talks about her experiences living in a small town and why such places should be protected from destructive corporate projects. Isabel also shares her inspirations in creating her characters, particularly the woman she saw on a videotape about the Buffalo Creek Disaster that became her story’s protagonist. About Guest: Isabel Reddy began her career in clinical research as a science writer. She has been a guest columnist for numerous newspapers and she is working on her MFA in Writing at Goddard College. Ms. Reddy lives in North Carolina with her husband and German Shepherd, Mac.

Several acts were put in place by the government to ensure that the environment is well-protected and benefits every single citizen adequately. But because of the debt ceiling deal, these are not being implemented to their fullest. Corinna Bellizzi speaks once again with Maya van Rossum of Green Amendments For the Generations. This time, they discuss how the debt ceiling deal undermines critical environmental protections. The two explain how it hinders people from enjoying clean water and air, as well as puts endangered species at more risk. They talk about the needed work at the federal level to make a real change in this matter and finally create a Green Amendment in the US Constitution. Maya also highlights a glimmer of hope happening in Montana, where youth plaintiffs are fighting against climate change and demanding their constitutional right for a healthful environment. About Guest: Maya K. van Rossum is the Founder of Green Amendments For the Generations, a grassroots non-profit inspiring constitutional recognition and protection of environmental rights in every state and ultimately at the federal level. She is also the Delaware Riverkeeper, leading the 4 state, watershed-based advocacy organization, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, for 30 years. Since launching her national Green Amendment movement, New York passed a Green Amendment in 2021, with proposals advancing in 12 additional states. She authored the book The Green Amendment, The People’s Fight For a Clean, Safe & Healthy Environment which was released in its second edition in November 2022.

Every plastic bottle you throw away will certainly go somewhere, but only a handful of them are actually recycled and reused. Plastic pollution is a serious problem most people ignore in exchange for the convenience it offers. That’s why a huge number of them unsurprisingly ends up in landfills and in the ocean. Corinna Bellizzi is eager to solve this problem, and she sits down with Robert Koenen to talk about how he helps address such a massive issue. The Founder of Boxed Water Is Better shares how they contribute to lessening needless plastic by creating eco-friendly and biodegradable water containers. Robert also explores the benefits and dangers of aluminum, why you should be wise in choosing companies to support, and why most water brands are only out there for marketing. Love the show?

In these last few years, immigrant issues have been a huge topic of discussion in the United States. People flee from war-torn countries, immigrants facing discrimination, and banning certain nationalities from entering the country have sparked endless debate. Author Orlando Ortega-Medina wanted to shed light on the challenges he went through as an immigrant himself by writing a fiction novel that reflects his non-fiction story. He joins Corinna Bellizzi to talk about his book The Fitful Sleep of Immigrant, which narrates the trials and tribulations of an immigrant in San Francisco during the late 90s. Orlando talks about his current life in London, the importance of authors seeking professional editing, and the reason he writes about tough subjects. Love the show?

In today’s world of rapid movement, fast furniture is a real problem in almost every home. When people change addresses, they often discard a huge chunk of their furniture, only to buy new ones upon arriving to their next place. This only leads to tons of trash, and Michael Barlow is here to put an end to the dangers of fast furniture. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how they bring furniture into the service economy through Fernish, giving people the freedom to rent, swap, or rent-to-buy depending on their needs. He explains how this business model can help push the reuse economy forward and finally get rid of the IKEA culture. Michael also discusses how they minimize their carbon footprint by keeping a localized team and sourcing from local communities. About Guest: Michael Barlow is the co-founder and CEO of Fernish and sets the vision and strategy as the company changes the way people create and relate to their homes. After completing his fifth move in eight years, Michael co-founded Fernish in 2017, a furniture-as-a service business designed to bring furniture into the service economy and give people the freedom to rent, swap, rent-to-buy, buy or return furniture as their life and living situations change.

The world has made it so easy to overlook our natural resources in exchange for revenue. Take a look at dams as an example. According to statistics, we have buried a landmass equal to the size of the state of California in reservoirs behind dams since the start of the 20th century. That is a staggering amount of land lost. In this episode, writer and award-winning filmmaker Steven Hawley sheds light on this alarming information. With his new book, Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Chaotic World, Steven tells us the impact of dams on the health of our entire ecosystems and, more importantly, what we can do about it. Tune in as he joins Corinna Bellizzi to share more important insights on the state and future of dams and whether it is possible to recover the rivers we lost. Love the show?

This week we invite you to think about the Body Positivity movement, and being comfortable in your own skin while we confront the topic of body modification and elective surgeries that involve implants. If you are considering a physical modification to your body It's important to understand the risks, the inflammatory conditions that can erupt, and how these problems can erode your health so you can identify the root cause of these issues if they arise for you. One Woman's Incredible Journey To navigate this difficult conversation I was joined by Candice Barley on Nutrition Without Compromise. She shared her reasons for getting breast implants (4 times over), and her ultimate decision to remove them through explant surgery "en block" because she was so sick for so long. But No One Believed Her She talks about the incredible health challenges she faced for years and how she suddenly just knew that her sickness was caused by her breast implants. Sadly, no one believed her. Becoming A Patient Advocate She had to learn to advocate for herself - and now she does the same for other women who need help on their health journeys related to Breast Implant Illness (BII). There's A Better Way There is a better way to increase your breast size - using your own body's fat stores. Breast reconstruction and breast augmentation can both be solved naturally. Candice shares about these options. The doctor she advocates for, Dr. Robert Whitfield, recently expanded on these methods in his guest appearance on Dave Asprey's The Human Upgrade (hotlinked from our episode page). You should definitely give that a listen after this show. About Candice Barley Candice Barley is an actress, producer, and mother of three sons who turned into a Patient Advocate as a result of being incapacitated from the effects of her breast implants. She began sharing her journey first on the red carpet and now uses her different platforms to share resources, products, and interviews with expert doctors, to help educate and empower women with breast implants. Key takeaways from this episode: - Candice’s awakening as a patient advocate - What it is like to undergo breast explant surgery - Effects of breast implant surgery - The recovery process from breast explant surgery - Alternatives for breast augmentation Candice's Website: https://olisticolife.com Candice's Instagram: https://instagram.com/olisticolife How Breast Implants Compromise Your Health and Make You Sick, Rob Whitfield, M.D. on Dave Asprey's The Human Upgrade (ep. #1043) Love the show?

Eating meat is such an everyday thing for most people that discussions about on animal protection are pretty rare or almost nonexisten. A lot of farmed animals are raised inhumanely and treated not as living things but as mere commodities. In this episode, Corinna Bellizzi chats with AJ Albrecht, Managing Director of Mercy for Animals, an organization that aims to end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a sustainable food system. She talks about the dangers of factory farming to animals, the need for more organic food choices, and the benefits of adopting a plant-based diet. AJ also shares their efforts to pass a bill that shifts the responsibility of the broken food system from everyday consumers to major corporations profiting from factory farming. About Guest: AJ Albrecht is the Managing Director of Mercy For Animals in the United States and Canada. She joined Mercy For Animals in 2019 as the organization’s first U.S. government affairs team member, where she built and led the government affairs and public policy team for three years before stepping into her current role.

Every culture has a different use of rice and how to grow it. Some farm practices harm our environment by damaging the soil through massive disturbances. In this episode, Caryl Levine and Ken Lee, Authors of Rice Is Life and Co-founders and Co-CEOs of Lotus Foods, explain that the future of food lies in the practice of regenerative agriculture. Minimizing the physical disturbance of soil keeps a huge amount of carbon dioxide from releasing into the atmosphere. This practice of building organic matter on the soil not only helps mitigate climate change effects but also creates a resilient environment where plants thrive, resulting in more productive yields. Tune in to this conversation and learn more from Caryl and Ken as they share more insights about the future of food and regenerative agriculture.

Join Corinna Bellizzi for press event coverage of Monarch Tractor's launch in early December 2022 at their Livermore, California facility. In today's coverage you are introduced to Alice Waters as we are invited to think about the source, quality, and flavor of the food that graces our plates and nourishes our bodies each day. Alice shares what it was like to dine in France in the 60s and how that impacted her food journey. She invites us to think about source, about locality, and to love farmers. You'll also learn about her recent work to bring farming to schoolchildren as we seek to inspire and educate young people around the globe. We also meet Robert Henson, President of the wine and spirits division at Constellation Brands - a world leader in the alcoholic beverage space. They now own the Mondavi winery brand, and therefore have history with the Mondavi family (more about that in part 3). The reason this story is so critical is simple. Early adopters and big advocates are central to the success of any new technology. Before we wrap up today's episode we hear from the CEO and co-founder of Monarch Tractor, Praveen Penmetsa. Praveen shares the story of farmers in India and the reality of farming today. A perspective that there's no future in farming is shared, with Monarch Tractor playing part in the resurrection of the faltering profits seen in the world of agriculture. Elaine Chukan Brown once again operates as the MC for the event. About Alice Waters: Alice Louise Waters is an American chef, restaurateur, and author. In 1971 she opened Chez Panisse, a Berkeley, California restaurant famous for its role in creating the farm-to-table movement and for pioneering California cuisine. Waters has authored the books Chez Panisse Cooking (with Paul Bertolli), The Art of Simple Food I and II, and 40 Years of Chez Panisse. Her memoir, Coming to my Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook was published in September 2017 and released in paperback in May 2018. Waters created the Chez Panisse Foundation in 1996, and the Edible Schoolyard program at the Martin Luther King Middle School in Berkeley. She is a national public policy advocate for universal access to healthy, organic foods. Her influence in the fields of organic foods and nutrition inspired Michelle Obama's White House organic vegetable garden program.

Filmed on-location in Santa Cruz, California at the San Vicente Redwoods in a press preview of the new trail system which will be open to the public on Saturday, 12/3/2022. Listen on your favorite platform, or watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/x1hEeOLLGnw Notable quotes kick off the episode: "We're talking about 8,800 acres right here in the Santa Cruz mountains. That is part of a 1.6 million acre redwood forest ecosystem going from Big Sur all the way up to the Oregon border, most of which is young recovering second and third growth forest. 95% of it is young recovering second growth forest, and in that latent forest ecosystem is a fire resilient landscape that we can restore together if we learn from the lessons of this project." -- Sam Hodder, CEO, Save The Redwoods League "What's unusual in this time is the intensity in the crown fires and these absolutely. Gigantic catastrophic wildfires that really destroy entire communities. And so the communities should hear about it and they should hear about the value of that work." -- Sarah Newkirk, Executive Director, The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County For more information on the opening of this trail system this Saturday, 12/3/2022, visit the following website page: https://www.landtrustsantacruz.org/svr/ Love the show?

Oceans are getting warmer and more acidic because of all the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This is happening because of deforestation or coal-burning, and it's not helping the ecosystem regenerate at all. This creates a chain reaction where the ocean eliminates algae and fish. The climate problem will never be solved if people keep abusing the natural world. Join Corinna Bellizzi and Dr. William Moomaw as they talk about the long-lasting effects of climate change. Dr. Moomaw is an Emeritus Professor of International Environmental Policy and the Founding Director of the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy at The Fletcher School at Tufts University. He is also the co-author of the Cut Out the Middle Fish paper, which talks about using algae as a protein source. Discover what proforestation means and why people need to build on existing forests.
