Exploring the modern world through the lens of a luddite.
Join me as I apply evolutionary theory and mitochondrial principles to problems large and small—what to eat and how to live; what to avoid, and what to seek; and how to pursue resilience in community and body.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST ~ REAL FOOD NUTRITIONIST ~ REGENERATIVE FARMER
Lucy Nepstad
An ancestral lens is primary in my approach to life, and I strive to bring it to the foreground of my audience so that they become comfortable understanding (and, hopefully, leveraging) the patterns that they observe around them in the world, and are able to live connected, conscious lives.
I also explore and interpret the world through adventure and travel, science and spirit, narrative and connection. My former experiences in field biology, real food nutrition, and mitochondrial science, as well as my current experiences developing a regenerative farm in southern WI inform these explorations. They intersect in unexpected and delightful ways that, for me, unveil the undeniable wisdom of living life away from the emerging technologies in modern culture.

DISCOVER THE MITOCHONDRIA METHOD
Mitochondria Mastery
We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet people are more lonely, disconnected, and sick than ever.
Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, and yet our food, environment, and political landscape grow ever more toxic. Rates of chronic illness, depression, and loneliness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these two truths? What's more, what can we do to close it?
The emerging science on the mitochondria gives credence to longstanding wisdom: to go outside, laugh with loved ones, and eat real food.

Amid the same Baraboo hills in Southern WI where Aldo Leopold penned his masterpiece, we build: soil, community, water science, mitochondria, and the quiet intelligence of life away from the sweet machine.
