We’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most widespread yet overlooked health disruptors in our food system: glyphosate.
In this episode, Terry and I dive into why more and more people are reacting to bread, wine, and even “healthy” pantry staples—when the real issue might not be gluten, but what it’s sprayed with.
👉 You’ll hear:
- Shocking stats about glyphosate exposure in the U.S.
- Why it’s no longer just about GMOs—and how it’s now used pre-harvest on wheat, oats, beans, and even wine grapes
- How glyphosate mimics glycine, disrupts your gut microbiome, and contributes to autoimmune issues, IBS, leaky gut, and more
- The lawsuits, cover-ups, and payouts linked to glyphosate’s cancer-causing effects
- Why sourdough and heritage grain flour may be the answer for bread lovers
- 5 ways to reduce glyphosate exposure in your kitchen, pantry, and fridge—starting today
💡 If you’ve ever thought, “Why can I eat bread in Europe but not here?”… this one’s for you.
