Ep.45 From Soil to Soul: How Regenerative Farming Heals People and the Planet with Gabrielle Lanzoni

Today we sit down with Gabrielle Lanzoni, a regenerative health educator and consultant working at the intersection of agriculture, nutrition, and consumer education. Gabrielle's journey began with a health crisis, a move to Italy, and the realization that the food system, not her body, was broken. Now through her platform Lanzo, she's on a mission to connect the dots between soil health, human health, and planetary health for everyday consumers. This one will change the way you think about how what's on your plate does more than satisfy your hunger.

• How living in Italy resolved years of chronic inflammation, brain fog, and digestive issues
• What regenerative agriculture actually is
• The soil microbiome and the human microbiome striking similarities
• We're experiencing a hidden hunger epidemic: about 2 billion people are nutrient-deficient not because they aren't eating enough calories, but because the food itself has lost 40–60% of its nutritional value compared to 30 years ago
• The mental health connection: ultra-processed food consumption directly correlates with depression and anxiety symptoms
• The mindset around food matters too — research shows that eating in good company actually lowers inflammatory markers, even when the food itself isn't perfect
• Your body has innate wisdom — color, flavor, and aroma in food are nature's signals that nutrients are present
• Energy and intention around eating impacts digestion
