Episode 33: Why Quality Protein Is the Missing Link in Your Health with Cloe Parker

In this episode, I’m joined by Cloe Parker of Parker Pastures in Colorado. As a second-generation rancher, Cloe is passionate about her family’s mission to "reconnect your table to God’s original design—beef raised on grass, a life lived in connection with the land, and food rooted in honesty, purpose, and nourishment."

With Cloe’s experience in ranching and my background in the food industry, our goal is to help you better understand how the protein you choose can impact your overall health and how to make more intentional choices when it comes to the food you eat.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What is nutrient dense meat
  • The difference between grass fed vs grain fed animals
  • What food labels aren't telling you
  • Once you lose the land animals are grown on, what will happen next
