Regenerative agriculture has the potential to reshape how we see food, health, and the future of our planet. 

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix talks with Dr. Jeffrey Burke, the Director of Education for Kokora Life and a natural products industry veteran with more than forty years of experience, about the direct link between the health of our soil and the health of our bodies. He explains how farming practices that strip the land also strip our food of vital micronutrients, and why the loss of topsoil is one of the most urgent challenges we face.

Dr. Burke shares how regenerative agriculture goes beyond organic standards by restoring the soil, boosting yields, and growing food with richer nutritional value. He also addresses how a diet built on processed, inflammatory foods leaves the body depleted long before chronic illness appears. This episode explores the role of high-quality supplements in filling those gaps, with herbs like ashwagandha for stress, turmeric for inflammation, and bacopa for cognitive support. By the end, it’s clear that soil health, food quality, and intentional supplementation are deeply connected, and that understanding this connection can shape the future of both human and environmental health.

Quotes

• “We’re not eating a diet that replenishes what we use. We’re not eating a diet that rebuilds the areas of our body where we’re in deficit. So where we used to break down later, we now break down sooner because we are not putting anything in that’s actually helping us to rebuild the things that we’ve lost along the way.” (07:44 | Dr. Jeffrey Burke)
• “A new statistic says that we have about 60 years left of topsoil on the planet if we don’t do something about it.” (15:36 | Dr. Jeffrey Burke)
• “With organic farming, you’re protecting the crop. With regenerative farming, you’re protecting both the crop and the soil for the future.” (18:39 | Dr. Jeffrey Burke)
• “Our goal here would be we’d have to go to the beehive, to the queen bee. We’d have to get in front of Congress and start, you know, lobbying for incentives for farmers to switch over to regenerative agriculture.” (20:37 | Dr. Jeffrey Burke)
• “We live in a world here in the United States where our diet is largely inflammatory. Most of the foods we consume – the processed foods, the foods from manufacturers, the ‘food stuff,’ if you will – are very, very inflammatory.” (37:40 | Dr. Jeffrey Burke)

Key Takeaways

• Don’t try to make large changes to your routine all at once. Start making small changes intermittently instead.

• The more you consistently stick to a sleep-wake schedule, the more your body will be able to learn the routine and it will become easier.

• Eating more greens and a well balanced diet is step one for improving your health.

• While microgreen supplements are important for health, they are not a complete regimen- you will also need to make sure you are getting enough of the vitamins and minerals that typically come from animal-based products.

Have you really looked into all of the supplements that you are taking to check for bioavailability? In today’s episode, Dr. Andrew Fix speaks with Dr. Beata Lerman, Chief Scientific Officer at Revogreen and founder of Sinless Treats, about her experience with intermittent fasting and the benefits of taking natural supplements over synthetic ones. She also discusses how Revogreen is revolutionizing the supplement industry through their use of microgreens.

Bioavailability is so important for nutrition when consuming supplements and food. And unfortunately, there is a major lack of necessary vitamins and nutrients in the American diet. Dr. Lerman explains that Revogreen’s blends are science-based and unbiased. Their goal is to improve peoples’ overall health by adding microgreens into their natural supplements. The best thing about microgreen supplements is that they do not interrupt fasting, so they work really well along with an intermittent fasting regimen.

If you are serious about your health, it is crucial to make sure you are getting enough nutrients in your diet. Since the typical American diet is quite lacking in nutrition and vitamins, you will likely need to add supplements into your daily routine, but not all supplements are created equal. Make sure you are using supplements with high bioavailability like those offered by Revogreen.

Quotes

• “There is actually a growing body of research that shows that synthetic versions are a lot less absorbable and bioavailable to the body than the natural compounds that are growing. Our bodies were not designed to really benefit from this chemical formula.” (29:12-29:38 | Dr. Lerman)

• “We are the first company that is using microgreens as a supplement instead of the full grown version of the plant.” (34:09-34:18 | Dr. Lerman)

• “There is a lot of research being done right now that says that living in absolute comfort is actually more of a detriment than an advantage for any living organism, including humans.” (36:25-36:41 | Dr. Lerman)

• “Our microgreen supplements do not have nutritional value, meaning that if you consume that while you’re fasting in the morning, it will not knock you out of your fast.” (39:16-39:30 | Dr. Lerman)
