    Episode Overview

    In this episode of the Prescribed Podcast, Dr. Nathan Goodyear sits down with regenerative farmer Gail Fuller, founder of Fuller Farms and Fuller Field School in Kansas, to uncover the direct connection between soil health, human health, and rising chronic disease. Gail shares his powerful story of walking away from chemical-dependent, industrial farming—even when it cost him his community and his family’s multigenerational farm—to rebuild a regenerative, diverse, nutrient-dense operation focused on life, not death. Together, he and Dr. Goodyear expose how degraded soil leads to weakened immunity, disrupted gut microbiomes, and increased cancer risk—and how true healing begins with rebuilding the land. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action to partner with farmers, rebuild local food systems, and rethink prescriptions as pathways to real, lasting health.

    📌 Key Takeaways Farmers are the original doctors of the soil. Soil health determines food quality, immune strength, and disease vulnerability—including cancer. Industrial agriculture disconnects us from food. The shift from “food” to “commodities” made toxic farming practices seem normal and erased the link between land and health. Glyphosate acts like an antibiotic. Its widespread use harms soil life and the gut microbiome—key foundations for immunity and long-term wellness. Cancer is a warning signal. Dr. Goodyear reframes cancer as the “canary in the coal mine,” a sign of broader environmental and biological collapse. Regenerative farming restores life. Gail’s shift from 3,200 chemical-heavy acres to a diversified, regenerative 160-acre farm shows soil can heal—and so can people. The cost of change is real. Gail lost his crop insurance, financial support, and community acceptance when he rejected chemical farming, yet rebuilding saved his health. Doctors can prescribe food, not just pharmaceuticals. Imagine prescriptions directing patients to farmers instead of pharmacies—fueling health rather than disease. Local food systems rebuild communities. Connecting consumers, doctors, and farmers supports rural revival, public health, and long-term resilience. Healing requires nature, not convenience. Moving away from instant gratification and toward intentional investment in real food is essential. The future of healthcare may look like a farm. True healing happens on living soil, in clean air, in natural rhythms—not under fluorescent hospital lights.

  • Your Food Isn’t What It Used To Be—Here’s Why

    Your Food Isn’t What It Used To Be—Here’s Why
    Nov 7 2025
    📬 Join Dr. Goodyear’s Newsletter ➡️ https://pre-scribed.com/subscribe/ Episode Overview In this powerful conversation, Dr. Nathan Goodyear sits down with Dr. Don M. Huber, Professor Emeritus of Plant Pathology at Purdue University and a pioneering voice on soil health, glyphosate, and agro-ecology. Drawing on five decades of research, Dr. Huber explains how glyphosate functions as both a chelator and an antibiotic, how that impacts nutrient density, plant disease, animal health, and human outcomes—and what practical steps farmers, clinicians, and families can take right now. From re-emerging crop diseases to miscarriages and mitochondrial stress, this episode connects the dots from soil to cell—and offers real-world remediation strategies (including microbial approaches) to help regenerate land and protect health. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action. 📌 Key Takeaways Glyphosate is a potent mineral chelator. By binding manganese, zinc, iron, and other cations, it reduces plant nutrient uptake and can lower nutrient density across the food chain. Antibiotic effects alter the microbiome. Glyphosate can suppress beneficial microbes and favor pathogens in soil, animals, and potentially the food system, shifting ecological balance. Re-emerging plant diseases are rising. Decades-long field observations link glyphosate exposure with increased severity of fungal and soil-borne diseases in major crops. Nutrient density has declined. Multi-decade comparisons show lower micronutrients in harvests; Dr. Huber outlines mechanisms and field examples (e.g., pumpkins following Roundup Ready corn). Small amounts can matter. Field rates discussed suggest even fractional ounces per acre may impair metal transport—context clinicians should consider when evaluating diet-based deficiencies. Ecology ↔ human health link. The episode explores epidemiologic patterns (e.g., cancer, celiac, autism curves) discussed alongside exposure trends—framed as signals to investigate, not final proofs. Animal health case studies. Dairy and livestock examples (e.g., chronic botulism patterns) illustrate how feed residues and microbiome disruption may impact performance and loss rates. Environmental spillovers. Runoff and waterway eutrophication, algal blooms, and filtration bypass are covered as downstream consequences of broad herbicide use. Regulatory blind spots. The conversation critiques active-ingredient–only assessments and calls for fuller evaluation of adjuvants and formulations. Microbial remediation is promising. Field trials with Lactobacillus (e.g., raw sauerkraut juice/L. plantarum consortia) showed notable reductions in residual glyphosate and yield rebounds. Action steps for clinicians and patients. Prioritize nutrient-dense foods, soil-forward sourcing, and mitigation strategies while advocating for transparent oversight. Heal the land to heal patients. Prevention in oncology begins upstream—support regenerative agriculture as a public-health intervention. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Episode intro & mission 1:03 – Why healing soil matters for preventing cancer 1:43 – Dr. Don M.

  • Rejecting Chemo for Alternative Healing: A Stage 3 Cancer Thriver’s Journey | Chris Joseph

    Rejecting Chemo for Alternative Healing: A Stage 3 Cancer Thriver’s Journey | Chris Joseph

    Episode Overview

    At Metabolic Health Day in Tucson, Dr. Nathan Goodyear sits down with Chris Joseph—cancer thriver, author of Life Is a Ride: My Unconventional Journey of Cancer Recovery, and Certified Radical Remission Coach—for a raw, practical roadmap from stage III pancreatic cancer to long-term NED. Chris unpacks how taking the driver’s seat (“be the CEO of your health”), leveraging integrative tools, and building a support team shifted his trajectory when conventional chemo failed. From mistletoe and hyperthermia to mindset, movement, and food, this episode connects real-world choices to outcomes—and pushes clinicians and patients to collaborate better. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action.

    📌 Key Takeaways

    Be the CEO of your health. Patient-led decision-making changes options, adherence, and outcomes—especially when fear and fatigue dominate early cancer care.

    Chemo isn’t the only lever. When treatment failed and side effects escalated, Chris pivoted to integrative strategies without abandoning science or results.

    Hope is a clinical variable. Restoring agency and purpose improves resilience, decisions, and follow-through across a long journey.

    Metabolic & immune targeting matter. Tools like IV vitamin C, mistletoe, hyperthermia, and low-carb nutrition can support immune function and therapy synergy.

    No magic bullet—stack wins. Progress came from combinations (therapies + lifestyle + mindset), not a single intervention.

    Mindset and support are treatment. Community, coaching, and family support stabilized emotions and sustained behavior change.

    Data-informed, person-specific. What’s “right” depends on the individual—timing, tolerance, comorbidities, logistics, and goals.

    Reframe statistics. Population odds inform risk; individual choices shape the path forward.

    Movement is medicine. Simple, consistent walking delivered zero-cost, high-upside benefits for energy, mood, and metabolism.

    Collaboration over silos. Advocates, physicians, and patients working together reduce confusion and accelerate safer, smarter care.
