He has created From the Farm, a platform aimed at decentralizing the food supply chain and empowering family farms. From the Farm is not just a business; it's a movement. It connects consumers directly with farmers and ranchers, eliminating unnecessary middlemen. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also provides consumers with the opportunity to know exactly where their food is coming from. A.J. emphasizes the importance of transparency and trust in the food industry, stating, "We want to cut out all the middlemen that are completely unnecessary." AJ touches on the cost of raising clean meat and produce, versus the factory produced food we currently consume.He also emphasizes the importance of humane treatment of animals at slaughter.

This commitment to ethical practices is a core value of From the Farm, as they strive to support producers who prioritize animal welfare. How can we transform our current industrial system to a healthier one? First is education. Understand the food supply chain so you can make informed choices. Then, gradual adoption. Start by sourcing just one item from a local producer. As your knowledge and awareness grows, you will move into ever healthier choices, Clean food is a passion of mine and I hope this podcast resonates with you and makes you stop and think.

At just 13, he began experiencing motor tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and severe anxiety. By the time he was 17, he was on over 40 different medications. Ethan felt lost in a system that seemed more focused on prescribing medications than finding the root cause of his issues. He decided to take charge of his own health. Through extensive research, Ethan discovered PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus), a condition that linked his neurological symptoms to a strep throat infection. Finally, he had an accurate diagnosis. Part of Ethan's health plan was CBD, which he found to be a powerful anti-inflammatory.
