Ep. 70 Can We Rethink How We Grow Food?

Ep. 77 Your Food Is Lying To You

Dr. Alf Garbutt — chiropractor, sports medicine pioneer, and 26-time martial arts champion — joins Pasture Prime Time for a candid conversation on what it really takes to nourish a human body in today's depleted food landscape. From preparing the US national field hockey team for the 1984 Olympics to decades of work with elite athletes, Dr. Alf breaks down why our soil, our supplements, and our diets are failing us — covering everything from grass-fed beef and omega-3 ratios to hidden sugars, low-quality vitamins, and the case for regenerative farming. If you've ever wondered whether the food on your plate is actually delivering what your body needs, this episode will change how you think about every meal. Connect with Neil, Amanda, and Alf!

Ep. 76 Health, Horses & Hollywood Stunts

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, hosts Neil and Amanda sit down with Tim Sabatino — Navy veteran, fine art photographer, actor, stunt driver, martial artist, and rancher — to explore how a life built on discipline, creativity, and passion has taken him from Bruce Lee films in a drive-in theater to driving in over 65 Hollywood productions. Tim shares how his journey from precision driving to full stunt work, his love of horses, and the recent relaunch of his automotive production company Fast Flow Productions all connect through a foundation of intentional health, quality sleep, and the simple power of a morning vitamin routine. Whether he's drifting a Ford Mustang on set, running actor horseback camps on his North Georgia ranch, or helping people reclaim their wellbeing off psychiatric drugs, Tim's story is a masterclass in living many lives with full commitment — and a reminder that what you eat, how you sleep, and how you move matter whether you're jumping cars off bridges or just trying to show up for your family.

Ep. 73 Why Your Grocery Store Produce Tastes Like Nothing — And What to Buy Instead

In this episode, Neil and Amanda sit down with Dan Avukian — better known as the Produce Man — a 50-year veteran of the fresh produce industry who has worked every corner of it, from retail and wholesale to food service, home delivery, and running his own store. Dan shares how a late-night radio gig in San Francisco accidentally launched a decades-long career educating consumers about fresh produce, eventually leading to the nationally syndicated Produce Pair radio show with his co-host Guido the Gardener. The conversation covers everything from the dramatic decline of California asparagus farming due to imports and labor costs, to why the best tomato you'll eat is always in July, to the importance of buying local and seasonal produce for both flavor and nutrient density. Dan also shares his work with Ag Life Media's Fresh From the Field Fridays podcast, the charity platform JustSayIt.com, and his passion for getting kids excited about fruits and vegetables. A rich, flavorful conversation about the past, present, and future of fresh produce in America. Connect with Neil, Amanda, and Dan!
