S17: E2: The Missing Piece: Mastering Nutrition for the Homesteader

As homesteaders, we often focus on sourcing high-quality, real food—but what about understanding how to truly fuel our bodies? In this episode, I sit down with Johnna Sutton, a functional nutritionist and seasoned homesteader, to discuss the finer points of macronutrients and how they fit into a seasonal, whole-food lifestyle. From balancing protein, fats, and carbs to adjusting your diet for the seasons and life stages, Johnna explains how this often-overlooked knowledge can help homesteaders fine-tune their health and thrive. If you’ve got the food quality piece down but feel like something’s still missing, this episode is for you!Podcast Episode HighlightsJohnna's background in nutrition How we can understand what our bodies needCalculation for nutrition for your bodyDetails on insulin resistance A closer look about cravingsHow to figure out the nutrition in from-scratch mealsHow nature and seasons work with nutritionFinal thoughts from JohnnaResources Mentioned in This Podcast Episode:Learn more about Air Doctor here: airdoctorpro.comUse code HOMESTEAD to save up to $300 on your air doctor systemEmail Johnna at: [email protected]'s instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suttonoutdoorsmt/Montana Functional Health: https://mfhcare.com/OTHER HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR YOUR HOMESTEAD:Sign up for weekly musings from my homestead: https://jillwinger.substack.com/Get my free homesteading tutorials & recipes here: www.theprairiehomestead.comJill on Instagram: @jill.wingerJill on Facebook: http://facebook.com/theprairiehomesteadApply to be a guest on the Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/podcast-guest-applicationDid you enjoy listening to this episode?
