Author: James Kevin Broderick October 11, 2017 Duration: 50:03

Have you ever thought of starting a homestead on your journey towards ancestral health?

How about composting or gardening?

Well...

Today is a special opportunity to help a community member whose passion is about dismantling the industrialization of people and food through the acquisition of abundant, sustainable, and regenerative homesteading skills.

Enter: John Moody of Steader.com.

John and I share a very similar mission, in that we understand there are skills and wisdom that need to be shared from the first-hand experience of elders within our community.

And that today is an amazing opportunity to support a movement that helps build the groundwork for those to come.

In today's episode, you'll learn...

  • Why John says he doesn't think you should be able to deal with health and nutrition if you have not read this book,

  • A few of the educational videos John and the Steader team have cued up for their Kickstarter campaign, and...
  • Much, much more.

Hosted by James Kevin Broderick, Ancestral Health Radio explores a simple yet profound question: how can we live well now by understanding how we lived then? Each weekly conversation moves beyond theory, offering grounded insights from experts in nutrition, physical movement, and daily lifestyle design. The core idea isn't about rejecting modern life, but rather thoughtfully integrating its tools with timeless principles of wellness that are encoded in our biology. You'll hear detailed discussions on adapting ancestral patterns of eating, exercise, and rest to contemporary routines, all aimed at supporting sustained energy, resilience, and longevity. This podcast operates on the belief that our genetic blueprint holds keys to peak physical fitness and mental clarity, even in a world of constant digital stimulation and processed food. Broderick guides these dialogues with a focus on practical, actionable strategies you can apply immediately, whether the topic is metabolic health, stress management, or functional strength. The result is a resource for anyone feeling the disconnect between advanced technology and their own innate well-being, providing a roadmap to realign daily habits with your body's deepest expectations for health.
