Food is more than what we eat. It is part of a complex system shaped by agriculture, science, culture, environment, and human choices.
Welcome to the Farm to Body Wellness Podcast, hosted by Max Goldstein, RD, LD, CDM. Through a systems-based approach, we explore the connections between agriculture, food, nutrition, and human health.
Join us as we uncover the many paths food takes from its origin to its destination and explore how understanding these systems can empower individuals, communities, and future generations.
Episode 34: How Technology Is Changing the Systems Around Us
How is technology changing our relationship with health—and what happens when technology becomes part of the systems that influence our health?
In this episode, Max explores both the positive and negative ways technology can shape the environments in which we live and make decisions. From fitness trackers and wearable technology to food delivery, screen use, social media, and health misinformation, the conversation looks beyond the simple question of whether technology is "good" or "bad."
Because this episode is research-heavy, Max also discusses data literacy and why understanding research requires more than simply hearing a statistic. What kind of study was conducted? What does it actually tell us? Is it showing association or causation? And what questions should we be asking?
The episode then turns personal, exploring Max's changing relationship with social media and why he has chosen to use these platforms as part of Farm to Body Wellness.
This episode also introduces The Journey of Food, a new visual series exploring the many paths food can take from origin to destination.

Episode 33: The Next Chapter of Farm to Body Wellness
Welcome to Season 3 of the Farm to Body Wellness Podcast.
After some time away, I'm excited to reconnect and share the next chapter of this journey. In this episode, I reflect on becoming a father, learning through gardening in Florida, and how those experiences have deepened my understanding of the systems that connect agriculture, food, nutrition, and health.
I also introduce The Journey of Food, a new companion series available on YouTube, where I explore the many paths food takes from its origin to its destination through shorts that complement the conversations we have here on the podcast.
Thank you for joining me as we continue exploring integrated health and food literacy through a systems-based approach.
Until next time, do your best to stay healthy and be sustainable.

Episode 32: Starting From Here, Not Starting Over
Welcome to the Farm to Body Wellness Podcast.
Starting over or starting from scratch is a commonly used strategy after months or years of distress and discontentment. Many who fall in this category who potentially start over once, will likely start over more than once. By changing our mindset to a place of resetting at our current location and starting from where we stand, we can more easily make progressions
Many skills and techniques have long been forgotten and not passed down through the generations, leading many astray and looking for direction. With modern technology and social media platforms, many look for guidance by others that are just as untrained as them. Utilizing simple strategies, which have been lost to time and restarting from here, forgetting about the time that has passed, we can all be extremely successful. It takes time, patience, and a little direction. This is part of what I plan to offer through the one-on-one and group sessions soon. Stay tuned for more and until then…
Sit back, take a deep breath, and Let's Dig In.
