Regenuary is for Life - Episode 117 - Glen Burrows aka The Ethical Butcher

weMove Podcast

Hey there and welcome to the we move podcast. So we've had a few weeks off for the start of the year coinciding with a few weeks of waiting for our guests to become available.
So this week we are continuing our conversations about food and farming, all linked with the podcast titled Staying Alive in Toxic Times. and because, food is super important for us all as it is the root of many of the problems regarding health and wellbeing.
Todays episode we speak to Glen Burrows founder of Ethical Butcher who we have had on a couple of times, but this episode is specifically to talk about Regenuary which is the initiative for the month of January to raise awareness and encourage us to buy our food from producers who follow a Regenerative approach to farming, because the food is better for us and the process is better for the planet.
What always strikes me is how these ideas for eating, getting healthy, or back in shape tend to be just for a month in the year, rather than a way of living and a constant practice. Nothing that we speak about in the episode but it seems to be the way that one idea is pitted against another, even though they all are heading in the same direction and require the same consistent year round action, not just a month.
In fact is is Chris speaking to Glen today, and whilst the conversation might be seen as Regenuary vs Veganuary. It is I would say about the relationship we all have with food, that we can have differing views on the way we eat food , but the health of our selves and the planet might actually be better if we worked together in our similarities and respected the differences but realise we need the contrast of difference to move us forward.
And maybe if we apply those principles to fitness, to relationships, to money, to health, to family to everything then there is a good chance that improvements will be made.
Next week we speak to Josiah Meldrew of Hodmedods, another farmer but from the non meat world and it is a perfect companion to this episode but from another perspective within the same realm. I think the two of them combine quite nicely.
And also next week, we release our eight week newsletter programme, which is a weekly series of 3 ideas per week for laying a foundation in movement, health and wellbeing provided by 3 of our good friends and long time collaborators, Barney Gabos of Whitehart CrossFit, Oxygen Advantage Master coach David Jackson and Osteopath and Nature Cure practitioner Alex Johnson. So if you're interested in that, and you're already on our mailing list, you will receive that and if you would like to receive it, sign up to our mailing list on the website wemove.world and that will automatically arrive that to your inbox.
Whether you are a seasoned athlete, or a raw beginner, this will be a useful refresher series or an entry point if you are wanting to supplement your training or start something that will make a difference to your life. It's three short videos, and purposefully very few words, but things that you can consume and you can do at home.
And then at the end of that eight weeks, the plan is to get people together for a day of training, ideas and food, because quite frankly it’s getting to the time when we need to move together.
Thanks so much. And, as always, if you like what we do share it. And if you are considering supporting a podcast, do think of this one. We have a very simple link on our instagram and website where you can shout us “coffee” to keep the podcast moving on.
As always, thanks for listening and from Chris and me Peace.
