From Regenerative Agriculture to Skincare with Charles Mayfield

Keto Savage Podcast

Do you ever think about the impact the food industry has on our world? Charles Mayfield's interest in clean food began when, as a personal trainer, he began researching nutrition to help his clients reach their fitness goals—and eventually co-authored three paleo cookbooks.

The more Charles learned, the more he realized it's not just the kinds of food we eat that impact our health, but also the way that food is grown. He spent years researching farming techniques that are better for the environment and for the welfare of the animals. And when he learned about regenerative farming, he was hooked.
