Episode 83-Mollie Engelhart-Mosquito Medicine

·1 hr 30 min·5 clips

Molly turns a childhood mosquito-bite pattern into her phrase “mosquito medicine.”

Robyn introduces Molly as a regenerative farmer and asks what that actually means. The conversation starts with regenerative farming and the story behind the phrase. Molly says she is well known for being a chef in Los Angeles. She explains that she used to run Sage Vegan Bistro. She says that brand has now become Sage Regenerative Kitchen. That change has caused a lot of drama and upset. Molly also brings up Soilheart Farm, the California farm she once had. She says the farm had to be sold. Now she lives full time in Texas on a regenerative ranch. The ranch includes a small restaurant. It also includes a hospitality tiny house village. The talk then moves away from land and food and into the body. Molly describes ringworm and athlete's foot as something that may point to more than a simple fungal issue. She says it does not make sense to her that fungus is the whole story. She connects it to the lymphatic system. She brings up deodorant as something that may block drainage. She frames the feet as a place where the body can push out what it does not want near the organs. She also talks about living in a toxic environment. She mentions chemicals in the country and substances she thinks may be sprayed on food. The tone gets wary and urgent. Molly says she is not eager to reach for antifungals first. She prefers vinegar baths and other home-made approaches. She says she makes a CBD and THC salve at home. She uses it on a wrist issue that can flare into carpal tunnel. She says it helps calm pain in the moment. She still thinks the inflammation comes from somewhere deeper. Robyn keeps the exchange open and loose. She says she likes conversations that follow intuition instead of a fixed question list. The episode ends with gratitude and an invitation to come back and talk about solutions, backyard growing, and staying healthy through food.
