S17: E2: The Missing Piece: Mastering Nutrition for the Homesteader
Episode description
As homesteaders, we often focus on sourcing high-quality, real food—but what about understanding how to truly fuel our bodies? In this episode, I sit down with Johnna Sutton, a functional nutritionist and seasoned homesteader, to discuss the finer points of macronutrients and how they fit into a seasonal, whole-food lifestyle.
From balancing protein, fats, and carbs to adjusting your diet for the seasons and life stages, Johnna explains how this often-overlooked knowledge can help homesteaders fine-tune their health and thrive. If you’ve got the food quality piece down but feel like something’s still missing, this episode is for you!
