What's Really in our Food? | Glyphosate, Soil Health, & The Future of Food with Blair Beattie
Episode 1
Wednesday, 13 May, 2026
What if feeling better starts with looking a little closer at the food we eat every day? In this eye-opening episode of the Beautiful World podcast, Kathryn Nelson sits down with Blair Beattie, Executive Director of Farmers Footprint Australia, for an enlightening conversation about food, health, farming, and our connection to the natural world. Together, they explore the impact of glyphosate (the world's most widely used pesticide) on our food systems, why so many people are struggling with chronic health issues, and how reconnecting with real food, healthy soil, and local communities may be part of the path forward. This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of hope. It's not about fear. It's about awareness, making better choices where we can, and remembering that small changes matter. If you've ever wondered why modern life can feel so disconnected, and what it might look like to come back to health in a more natural, grounded way, this episode is for you. Awareness precedes change. And it starts here. In this episode we get into: -What glyphosate is and why it is everywhere -How industrial agriculture changed the food system -The connection between soil health and human health -Why processed foods dominate modern diets -Gut health, chronic illness, and environmental toxins -Monsanto, corporate influence, and public trust -Why regenerative farming matters now more than ever -How to reduce toxic exposure in everyday life -Supporting local farmers and healthier food systems -Practical hope for families who want change If you care about healthy living, clean food, regenerative agriculture, organic food, wellness, toxins, family health, farming, sustainability, or conscious living, this episode is for you.
