Welcome back to the Diet Doctor podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Brett Schur.

Today we're talking more about the environment, and we're going to do it from firsthand perspectives,

from two ranchers and a farmer.

One that is damaging the earth with fertilizer, with releasing carbon into the atmosphere, and with destroying the soil so that it probably is going to cease being productive at some point in the near future.

I mean, that's as damaging as you can get, or doing exactly the opposite.

That's going to keep it sustainable and regenerative for generations to come

and still producing nutrient-dense, healthy foods for people.

So I love just the difference here in how these three individuals are so

committed to what they're doing. So I really hope you enjoy this episode.

Now let's hear from Daniel Sinton. Now Daniel's a fifth generation rancher. His great, great, great grandfather started

Avenalis Ranch, where he is now the director of operations and it's a family run business. But he's not

your average rancher because he grew up on the ranch. But then he went and got educated with a bachelor's from Stanford

University and he took classes at the school of business. And then he went and worked in philanthropy
