What if the struggle you are experiencing with your health begins beneath your feet?
In this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda speaks with UFC Hall of Famer, former UFC Welterweight Champion, elite coach, soil-to-human health researcher, and Soil Saviors founder Pat Miletich.
Pat grew up in Iowa farm country and spent much of his childhood struggling to breathe. When doctors were unable to provide the answers he needed, he began researching minerals, detoxification, nutrition, and the environmental factors surrounding him. That personal pursuit of healing later influenced the way he trained, competed, and coached 12 MMA world champions.
Today, Pat is taking on a different kind of fight: depleted soil, chemical exposure, and the declining nutritional quality of our food.
Pat explains how the condition of our soil may directly affect the minerals in our food and our bodies. He discusses how chemicals can move through the food supply, why eating “healthy” may not always provide the nutrients we expect, and what gardeners, homesteaders, farmers, and consumers can do to make more informed choices.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
• How Pat went from a chronically sick farm kid to a UFC champion
• The connection between soil health, food quality, and human health
• What mineral depletion means for the nutritional value of our food
• How agricultural chemicals can travel from the ground into our bodies
• What Pat’s team learned from nutrient-density testing
• Why chemical-free growing begins with understanding the soil
• Common mistakes people make when attempting to restore their land
• Practical steps you can take even if you do not grow your own food
• How Pat’s championship mindset continues to guide his mission
• Why rebuilding human health may begin by rebuilding the soil
This conversation will change the way you look at your food—and the ground from which it grows.
