In this episode, I got to speak with Katie from the Homesteading RD over on Instagram.

She shares an immense amount of super valuable content and knowledge about all areas of homesteading.  I love following her for her insight on real food and functional medicine.  We talk all about the broken medical system as it pertains to nutrition and recovery from illness.  We also talk about how to get started making the switch to real food. This was such a valuable and real conversation, you don't want to miss it.

Katie Krejci, MS, RD, LD, IFNCP is a dietitian and homesteader for over 10 years. She and her husband have 5 acres in central Minnesota and love living a self-sufficient lifestyle. They have several large gardens and raise chickens for both eggs and meat. What they don't produce ourselves, they like to source from other local small farms as much as possible. Her passion is teaching others how to become more self-sufficient in easy, sustainable steps. Her background as a dietitian has been an interesting one. She started out thinking her passion was in clinical nutrition working in large, metro hospitals. Over the years, she came to realize how broken our health system is and how much damage has been done to our bodies. Conventional medicine is too focused on treating rather than healing. She finally made the switch to functional nutrition in 2021 and loves the ability to help her clients correct their health issues from the root cause. Getting back to the basics and focusing on real food really is the way forward.
