Description

Jo Robinson grew up in a household where real food and good nutrition were key. When she left home, she raised chickens in her rental suite because she needed to know where her food was coming from and how it was raised. As an adult, she's dedicated her life to researching how our eating habits have changed, and also the foods we eat. She's learned this shift didn't just start in the last 60 years with the introduction of microwave dinners and fast food - it actually began thousands of years ago when "we first abandoned our native diet of wild plants and game and began to domesticate animals and grow food in the first primitive gardens." How has this shift affected the nutrients in our food...and our health? Jo Robinson is a bestselling investigative journalist whose book, "Eating on the Wild Side" explores her research on how to get back to the basics and recapture those lost nutrients. Later on the show, we meet Angel Kibble, a retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Through an incident in 2010, Angel acquired Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and later, Chronic pain. She says she was prepared for the effects war could have on her, and knew that PTSD was a very common reality for many in the Army, but she never imagined it would be brought on by a fellow member. Angel shares her experience of what prompted her PTSD, her struggles with the disorder and what life is like now, 6 years later. She opens up for the first time to someone "outside of her immediate circle" and it's a conversation we should all tune into.
