Often unseen amidst the tales of triumph, defeat, tragedy, and heroism of the 20th century's World Wars is the dramatic reshaping of food culture, family life, and women's work that these astronomically disruptive events wrought upon millions of people.

Join nutritionist Kaleigh Mason and I as we explore the rise of industrialized and processed foods during wartime, the marketing that reframed convenience foods as symbols of progress, and the deeper cultural and generational health consequences of the loss of traditional foodways rooted in ancestry, land, and true nourishment.

How did you observe your ancestors relating to their bodies, to the natural world, to nourishment, to rest? What memories do you carry of connection- or disconnection- in your lineage? So many of us today experience connection to the earth and to our own bodies as something fractured or difficult to access, but for most humans throughout history these relationships were simply woven into daily life.

Today I am sharing my interview on the Homestead & Heal podcast- Lindsay & Scott Courcelle and I discuss how foodways, embodiment, and intimacy with the natural world have been disrupted over time, and how we are personally seeking to relearn our innate human capacity to relate to the Earth and to ourselves within our own lives and families.

Energy loss happens gradually and then suddenly, creating confusion and the fear that you might never recover. My guest and I have both spent time in the depths of overwhelming fatigue, and we have both found our way back to ourselves again. Today we share our stories- the lifetime of inputs that set us up for collapse, the precipitating event that pushed Clara over the edge, what we learned while in the abyss, and how we've recovered our vitality.

Clara is a certified nutritionist, mineral balancing practitioner, and mother living in Montana. Not only has she nourished herself back to health, but she has helped many other women to do the same.
