Welcome to our journey to Eating Consciously. The goal of this journey is to learn together the impact our food choices have on others & the environment.
We have an amazing team of people who have volunteered to share their knowledge and guide us on the journey. Let’s meet them! Thanks to everyone for making this possible.
Kathryn’s focus with food has alays been on optimal health. She has been greatly guided by the Medical Medium lifestyle to heal chronic health issues, which brought her back to Veganism. This time, an ethical Vegan.
She is a fabulous, passionate cook, and an educator with experience guiding people to begin a healthy way of life, both physically and spititually. Kathryn likes to connect people through Vegan options. Her friends and her AirBnB guests benefit from her healthy cooking.

Eating Consciously Podcast: Shane Bellinger interviews Jacqui Edans of Rooster Head Farms
Welcome to our third podcast in the Eating Consciously series. In this episode, Shane Bellinger, owner of Green Go Cleaning and member of the Eating Consciously team interviews Jacqui Edans of Rooster Head Farms in Brevard, NC. Our last episode was focused on systemic racism which included a conversation on factory meat operations. This episode shows another side of the meat industry on a different scale. Eating Consciously focuses on the impact our food choices have on others. This episode continues to educate towards that goal. Thanks for being here. We hope you enjoy the show. Many thanks to Shane and Jacqui for sharing this conversation with us. Farmer Jacqui Shane with her family
Eating Consciously Podcast: Systemic racism and how I participate
