  • The Truth About Meat Labels: Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished, and What Actually Matters with Cloe Parker of Parker Pastures

    The Truth About Meat Labels: Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished, and What Actually Matters with Cloe Parker of Parker Pastures
    Dec 4 2025

    In this episode of Wellness Junkies, we’re diving into a topic we’ve never covered before: the truth about meat.

    We’re joined by Chloe Parker, CEO of Parker Pastures — a Colorado rancher who took over her family’s business at just 19 after her mother’s cancer diagnosis. Chloe is passionate about nutrient-dense meat, transparent farming practices, and helping families understand where their food really comes from.

    This conversation breaks down everything you think you know about buying meat, including:


    What We Cover:

    • Why the labels “grass-fed” and “organic” are often misleading
    • The real difference between grass-fed vs. grass-finished
    • What color and fat can tell you about quality
    • How grocery store meat stays bright red (hint: it’s not natural)
    • Why most chicken is dunked in bleach baths
    • What to look for when buying beef and chicken
    • How long meat can stay frozen and why flash-freezing matters
    • Why buying directly from ranchers supports American farmers
    • The decline of nutrient density in modern food
    • The future of farming and why we need more young ranchers
    • Chloe’s personal story, lifestyle on the ranch, and her top wellness habits

    If you’ve ever stood in the meat aisle confused by labels (same!), this episode is going to change how you shop forever.
