Hello and welcome back to Not Just Paleo. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Thanks for joining me. Today is a departure from functional medicine clinical topics. And we're going to be chatting with a new friend of mine named Terry Page, who is a homesteader. And she raises her own food and her husband built their cabin from scratch and they started with a piece

of raw land and turned it into a place where they have fruits and veggies and all sorts of things.

They have solar panels. They're off the grid. It's just a neat story. Justin Rhodes, the permaculture

guy when I had him on the show, it kind of gave me this bug to look more into this field, and I thought

it was fun. So if you are not into that, then maybe you'll find this episode boring, but I think it

was a blast, and I hope you enjoy the conversation with Terry. It's a full, packed one-hour show with

tons of logistical questions I had about how do you make this lifestyle happen? What do you do when it's hot?

What do you do when it's 3 a.m. and you got to go to the bathroom. How does that work? So all of

those questions are in here, which I think you'll find interesting. If you're interested in a

functional medicine consult with me, 15 minutes at no charge, see if we're a good fit for each other, just visit my website, not just paleo.com, and be sure to check out my resource

page.

Enjoy the show.

Terry, welcome to the show.

Thank you very much.

Hey, so I found you on the internet of all places.

Surprise, right?

Right, right.

And so I read your story.

I thought it was really cool about you and your family and your beautiful kids and how you ended up going from a rental property that you were creating a homestead on to making your own. So where should we start your story? I mean, before you even got interested in homesteading,

were you doing something in life and you got burned out and you wanted to do the homestead? Like, how did

you even go from nothing to even wanting to create the original homestead on a rental property?

Right. Well, my degree was in biology when I graduated from college,
