Kelly shares her own “medical mystery-to-mission” story, then breaks down the science and policy around glyphosate (Roundup), GMO “Roundup Ready” crops, the microbiome, endocrine disruption, fertility, and cancer—plus what the landmark lawsuits have revealed.You’ll also hear why liability shields for chemical companies are a growing battleground, how a recent Texas poll upended assumptions about conservatives and pesticide bans, and the most effective actions listeners can take right now (yes, phone calls matter). If you’ve wondered whether what’s on our fields is ending up in our bodies—and what to do about it—this eye-opening conversation connects the dots and points to hope through regenerative agriculture and grassroots advocacy.Follow our guest and learn more about the topics shared in this episode:Stoppoison.org @glyphosategirl on social Glyphosatefacts.com American Regeneration Common Ground Documentary
