Today we’re speaking with Colin Stuckert, CEO and founder of Wild Foods Co and Ancestral Mind Podcast. I was a guest on Colin’s podcast talking about the mindset of diets, and we continued the conversation in today’s episode. Colin shares his unique perspective as an entrepreneur and the origin story of his company Wild Foods Co, what led him to starting a health food company based on ancestral wellness. Colin’s mission is to help 50 million people build the Ancestral Mind and say NO to Big Food, Big Pharma and a devolved life of chronic pain and disease.
You’ll get an inside look into a health food company, and how they stay in integrity with principles and quality to stay true to their mission. Colin talks about sourcing products sustainably and ethically, which foods to focus on, insidious food industry practices that undermine the consumer, and Colin’s perspective on the “ancestral mindset.”
