Fuel for the Race of Life
What does it take in food, training and conditioning to run 350 continuous miles, foregoing sleep for three nights? What does it take to run across Death Valley in 126 degree temperatures, and run a marathon to the South Pole in negative 40 degrees. What kind of body does one need to have to swim across the San Francisco Bay, scale Half Dome in Yosemite and mountain-bike for 24-hours straight? Dean Karnazes knows. He has done all this and more.
Men's Fitness Magazine says "Dean Karnazes might just be the fittest man in the world!"
We talk with Dean about these extraordinary accomplishments and how he fuels his body and mind to do what he does. Dean is sponsored in part by Nature's Path Foods and he consumes Nature's Path foods for energy.

What's all this about Hemp?
Surely no member of the vegetable kingdom has ever been more misunderstood than hemp. For too many years, emotion-not reason-has guided our policy toward this crop. And nowhere have emotions run hotter than in the debate over the distinction between industrial hemp and marijuana. This podcast is intended to inform you on the true facts around hemp so you can distinguish between myth and reality.
We talk with Charles Tremewen, Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Brian Becker and Adam Edinger

Organic Food: How and why to make the shift.
Organic agriculture started with a small group of individualists who wanted to develop an alternative to mainstream chemically-based agriculture.
Now as organic culture is facing unprecedented success, the sector needs the skills to deal with expansion rather than maintaining the stoic resistance so necessary in the early days.
Dag Falck, Organic Program Manager for Nature's Path Foods Inc., the number one organic brand in North America, describes the issues facing organic farmers, and how Nature's Path is working with them to maintain the integrity of this rapidly growing industry.
Recently elected as the new Canadian representative to the Organic Trade Associations (OTA) board of directors, Dag plays an integral part in the organic industry.
In order for consumers to make educated choices, it is important that they understand the organic market, and which companies are ensuring that expansion does not come at the cost of quality produce.
