Podcast Episode 100
What makes a person healthy? Turns out it’s much more than just diet and lifestyle. We talk with our brilliant guests, Raj Patel and Dr. Rupa Marya on how lack of connection, discrimination, environmental issues, and colonial capitalism are some of the additional determinants of what makes a person well or not.
This episode takes a deep look ways we can begin to dismantle our current food and healthcare system and bring about greater healing for people and planet.
