0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is
0:10.2	my belief that the natural state of any living organism's health and that our artificial
0:14.5	habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to
0:18.7	dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help
0:23.8	you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive
0:27.8	in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find
0:31.3	out more details and information at Dr. AnthonyGuston.com. Today I have the pleasure of welcoming
0:38.0	Julie Friend to the show. He's a friend of mine and founder and farmer at Wildham Farm
0:44.6	in Western Maryland, who I first found for being the person who makes what I believe to
0:52.4	be the healthiest and most species appropriate pork on the planet. A lot of what she does
0:57.2	is really awesome and really cares about the animal welfare. She has a crazy story coming
1:02.7	from fashion and Chicago to becoming a farmer rather quickly. And we get into that and honestly

1:21.6	like to live on a farm. So I love this conversation with my friend Julie and I hope you guys
1:26.6	enjoy it. Before we get into the show, I'd like to introduce equip foods if you guys haven't
1:33.4	heard about it. It's a brand that I started many years ago at this point. I've kind of
1:37.1	been off and on with it throughout the years, but we're starting to revive a lot of the
1:40.9	principles. I made it to make real food supplementation a thing. There were so many people in my
1:47.6	clinic that I dealt with that were struggling with finding real food options. Of course,
1:52.6	I think people should be eating real food. Of course, it should be based upon local food
1:56.7	that is as close to them as possible. I don't care if it's plants or animals, you do you.
