Show Notes

EP. 209: In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Kelly Ryerson, widely known on Instagram as Glyphosate Girl. Kelly, who you might remember from the film *Common Ground*, is here to explore one of the most pressing issues of our time: glyphosate in our food. We discuss its health impacts, the troubling industry corruption, and how big agriculture influences regulatory bodies like the EPA, FDA, and USDA. But it’s not all doom and gloom—Kelly also shares some hopeful developments and practical tips for a healthier lifestyle. If you’re passionate about clean food and environmental justice, you won’t want to miss this eye-opening conversation!
