WELCOME BACK to The Healthy Practitioner. In this episode, Stephanie Grutz, FNP sits down with Chris O'Connell of O'Connell Organic Acres to talk about organic farming, glyphosate, and how the way our food is grown shapes our health.

Chris shares his path from teacher to carrying on his family's farming legacy, what it actually takes to run and stay certified organic, his honest take on glyphosate and the direction conventional agriculture is heading, and why knowing your farmer matters more than any label at the grocery store. We also get into the link between how food is grown and rising rates of chronic disease, and simple places to start if you want to eat cleaner and support local farms.

This is a grounded, practical conversation about real food, healthy soil, and taking back some control over what ends up on your plate.

This episode is a conversation about food and farming and is not medical advice. Always consult your own care team about your health.

WELCOME BACK! It's Season 2 and I'm so excited to launch new episodes. I've missed you all!

In this episode of The Healthy Practitioner, Stephanie Grutz, FNP sits down with Teela Hammell to walk through her cancer diagnosis and the somatic, nervous-system, and spiritual healing journey that followed.

Teela shares the "lightning bolt" moment of diagnosis, what it looked like to listen to her body through a healing crisis, the emotional-release and free-writing practices that helped her stay present, and how she came to see the experience as a deeper initiation rather than only a fight.

This is an honest, tender conversation about fear, agency, and the relationship between the body and mind during illness.

— This episode is Teela's personal healing story and is not medical advice. Always consult your own care team about your health.
