Cloe Parker of Parker Pastures shares how regenerative ranching practices create more nutrient-dense meat while healing the land and providing optimal nutrition for consumers. She reveals the stark differences between conventional meat production and the holistic approach taken at her Colorado ranch.
• Co-owner of Parker Pastures, practicing regenerative ranching for nutrient-dense, grass-fed and grass-finished beef
• Bioavailable meat explained - beef has up to 90% nutrient bioavailability compared to supplements or plant foods
• Critical difference between "grass-fed" (no regulations) and "grass-finished" (completed life cycle on pasture)
• How grain-finishing disrupts omega-3:omega-6 ratios from ideal 1:1 to inflammatory 15:1
• Regenerative practices mimicking natural bison migration patterns through rotational grazing
• America's cattle numbers at lowest since 1960s, creating unprecedented market challenges
• Deceptive meat packaging practices including carbon monoxide to maintain artificial color
• Quality meat as an investment in long-term health rather than merely a higher expense
• Reconnecting with real food through intentional meals and present connection at the dinner table
