We'd love to hear from you about this episode.

Food is one of the foundational components of human existence that unites us all.

Whether food is part of our social and cultural interactions, part of our recreation or hobbies, or to simply survive… we need it to be at our best. We all eat.

But do you know where your food comes from?

Humans began farming independently in various world regions around 12,000 years ago. This shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture is considered one of the most significant transitions in human history. In cultures worldwide, farmers have been revered as some of our most important citizens.

But small farmers are facing threats of never-before-seen proportions.

What will it mean for our health and wellness if we lose those who feed us?

Welcome to Episode Sixty-Three of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!!

In this episode, we spoke with Dana DiPrima, founder of the For Farmers Movement, a dedicated advocate for small farmers, and the host of the One Bite is Everything podcast on Heritage Radio Network. With a corporate leadership and grassroots activism background, Dana brings a strategic, solutions-driven approach to conversations about food and farming. She believes that food is more than just what’s on our plates—it’s a powerful force shaping our health, communities, environment, and economy.

Join us as we discuss Dana’s personal journey with nature, how she became an “accidental farmer,” the challenges that small farmers face, and our detachment from our food.

Dana discusses the For Farmers Movement, which provides grants to help small farms manage modern demands and how buying local helps strengthen communities.

This conversation taught us how to plant the seeds of change, nurture and grow them, and harvest them when the time is right.

Humans crave information, an essential component of our daily lives.

The need for quality information is at the center of our personal growth, healthcare needs, environmental conditions, and economic development.

Sharing accurate data is critical for building trust, effective decision-making, and encouraging collaboration.

Accurate information begins with quality research. Questioning and scrutinizing findings, identifying potential errors, and replicating results lead to reliable and trustworthy scientific knowledge.

Accurate healthcare data is crucial for improving patient outcomes and optimizing healthcare delivery, keeping us healthy and safe.

In a time when science seems to be under attack, access to accurate information is critical to making informed decisions, achieving our goals, and having a better quality of life.

Since humans have gathered, nature and community health have always been intrinsically linked, with nature providing countless benefits to human well-being and community resilience.

Communities actively participating in nature conservation and restoration efforts experience environmental and social benefits.

Time spent in the natural world offers numerous benefits for family health, strengthening family relationships through shared experience.

Introducing children to time in nature provides many lifelong benefits, including physical and mental health and academic competency.

One of the greatest gifts parents can give their children is their time…especially outside.

Welcome to Episode Sixty-One of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!!

In this episode, we spoke with retired MLB pitcher Tim Collins.
