In this episode of "Pay the Farmer, Not the Pharmacy," hosts Meera and Ashok dive into a surprising health crisis affecting Gen Z: a massive vitamin D deficiency that's leaving 78% of young adults drained, foggy, and fighting weaker immune systems. But here's the twist—instead of reaching for supplement bottles, Gen Z is getting smart about functional foods.

Discover why those tiny vitamin D pills aren't cutting it, how kombucha and kimchi are becoming wellness warriors, and why your diet should be a harmony, not a solo act. From adaptogens that crush stress to nootropics that sharpen your brain, we're breaking down the delicious, cost-effective way to tackle nutritional gaps.

Tune in to learn: ✨ Why 78% of Gen Z is vitamin D deficient (hint: it's not just the weather) ✨ The truth about low-dose supplements and why they're not enough ✨ How functional foods like kefir, ashwagandha, and green tea can transform your health ✨ Why this approach saves you money AND tastes way better than pills

Remember: The best investment in your health starts on your plate, not in a pill bottle!
