Is your food really as healthy as you think it is? Could the secret to gut health, sustainable farming, and healing the planet be hiding right beneath your feet, in the soil? 

In this powerful episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Ryland Engelhart, regenerative agriculture expert, former plant-based restaurateur and co-founder of Kiss the Ground, to explore the shocking reason why he transitioned from being a leader in the vegan movement to running a 200-acre regenerative ranch in Texas.  

Once hailed as a pioneer of clean eating and conscious living, Ryland shares why the ideals of veganism weren’t enough--and how his discovery of soil health, regenerative agriculture, and the gut-soil connection changed everything. This is more than a food conversation; it's a story about healing the planet, restoring balance, and rethinking what sustainable really means.

From producing the viral Kiss the Ground documentary to living on a 200-acre regenerative ranch in Texas, Ryland shares his journey from plant-based restaurant entrepreneur to a full-time advocate for soil regeneration, ecosystem restoration, and food sustainability. Together, he and Dr. Taz unpack why regenerative farming isn’t just a climate solution. It’s a human health revolution.

If you're concerned about gut issues, nutrient-depleted food, or the long-term effects of industrial agriculture, this episode offers a hopeful and holistic path forward. Dr. Taz and Ryland dive deep into the microbiome-soil connection, the role of animals in regenerative ecosystems, and how returning to nature’s rhythms could be the missing piece in our chronic disease crisis.

Tamsen Fadal’s Bio:

Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, and social media’s “midlife mentor.” After more than three decades as a news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career toward women’s advocacy. From the bedroom to the boardroom, she serves as a best friend and guide, a one-stop resource for everything women need to thrive during midlife and beyond. With a passionate and loyal social media audience of 4 million with 50 million monthly views, Tamsen leverages her decades of journalism experience to provide actionable tools from dozens of world-renowned experts on topics that women like herself have been curious about, afraid to talk about, or ashamed to ask.

Tamsen is the creator and producer of the groundbreaking PBS documentary, “The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause”, which has galvanized a global movement. It has been viewed by over 1 million women, led to thousands of screenings around the world, and is the first documentary on menopause accredited to provide Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits for doctors.

Her latest book, How To Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before (Balance Publishing), will be available in March of 2025.

Tamsen’s candor and relatability have taken her from the boardroom to the stage at SXSW to Capitol Hill, where she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and foster an environment where women feel empowered to embrace their midlife transition, finding joy,

confidence, and fulfillment through every life stage. In November 2024, she joined fellow

documentary producer Denise Pines and Senator Patty Murray, D-Wash., to highlight a bill at a panel on Capitol Hill — the first time, according to Murray, that such a discussion about menopause took place in the U.S. Capitol. 

Fadal regularly appears in the media, including Oprah Daily, The Today Show, The New York Times, and The Harvard Business Review.

Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, serves on the national board of Let’s Talk Menopause, and is a strong voice in the fight against breast cancer, having lost her mother to the disease in 1990.

Tamsen currently lives in New York City and Santa Monica with her husband Ira Bernstein.

In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down for an impactful conversation with David Kessler, a leading expert on grief and loss, who has worked closely with leaders like Elizabeth Kubler Ross and Mother Teresa. They explore the importance of community support, resilience, and the non-linear nature of grieving. Kessler approaches the experiences of death and grieving in a way that is both tangible and easy to digest, providing simple, actionable strategies for navigating life’s most difficult experiences. With insights drawn from Kessler's extensive work, including his new book 'Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief,' this conversation honors the grieving process and offers tools to find comfort and purpose amid loss. The discussion also explores how to find meaning after loss—of any kind—and the physical and emotional manifestations of grief. Kessler also shares his personal journey through childhood trauma, the death of his mother at a young age, and the devastating loss of his son.
