Mission of The Wellness Farmer

When we return to real food and the wisdom of nature, our bodies remember how to heal.
That’s why I started The Wellness Farmer—to nourish the soil, grow healing foods, and empower people to take their health back into their own hands.

On our little farm we grow nutrient-dense vegetables and fruit, baby pink ginger, turmeric, and raise pasture-raised chickens and meats the way nature intended. And through my nutrition coaching, gut health education, mindful eating work, and cancer-prevention teachings, I help people rebuild their health from the inside out.

My mission is simple:
Real food. Real healing. Real hope.
Because when you give the body real food, it knows exactly what to do. 🌱💚

If you like ginger, check this out. 🎉

Ginger goes beyond its use just as a spice - it has a multitude of beneficial effects on the aging process.

Ginger can:

Reduce inflammaging (low-grade inflammation that increases during the aging process).

Ginger has epigenetic effects, and impacts mitochondrial functioning (the mitochondria are the power plants of our cells - keeps us alive). One way ginger impacts mitochondrial health is by the creation of new mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis). The older we get, the fewer proper functioning mitochondria we have.

Also, various studies have shown ginger can also improve cognitive function. For example, in a study with 60 middle-aged women, the women that received ginger for two months showed improved attention and better cognitive processing, thinking speed and memory.

Curcumin is a polyphenol compound in the spice turmeric that helps reduce inflammation in the body - it exerts tremendous health and anti-aging benefits.

Curcumin helps eliminate senescent cells (majority are dying cells that promote inflammation), increases telomere length, protects against glycation, activates AMPK and autophagy -- all become dysregulated or imbalanced as we age.

There are other nutrients that have demonstrated to reduce the inflammatory molecule CRP (C-Reactive Protein) such as magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids (and their all-important metabolites, pro-resolving lipid mediators - to resolve inflammation) and urolithin A.

Check out our new blog post on healing chronic disease with real food.

When I was sick with a rare autoimmune disease, it was truly awful. And while this might be TMI, I want to be honest about my experience. My skin would weep, and sometimes I’d wake up to find the sores on my scalp stuck to my pillow. Those open cracks in my skin inevitably became invaded by bacter...

I love my lunchtime salad — I’d go so far as to say I actually crave it. 🥗✨
And here’s the cool part… our brains are the ones driving those cravings.

Every time we eat something, our brain releases dopamine — the “feel good” chemical. The more often we choose nutrient-dense, whole foods, the more our brain starts to associate feeling good with those foods… and before you know it, you’re craving salads instead of junk.

And here’s another fascinating fact: our taste buds regenerate every 10 days. That means when you start feeding them real, fresh food, they literally reset — and your cravings begin to change with them.

Food literally rewires us — for better or worse.

So here’s to choosing the foods that love us back. 💚
