How Soil Degradation Is Making Us Sick with Pat Miletich - E117
Decades of soil degradation and chemical farming have quietly stripped vital nutrients from our food, leaving even the most disciplined eaters open to deficiency and chronic issues.
Many people chase better health with supplements and superfoods, yet still feel sluggish, inflamed, or stuck with unexplained symptoms.
This episode gets to the root of the problem, revealing how reconnecting with nutrient-rich soil and smarter detoxification can restore real vitality.
Pat Miletich was sick throughout childhood, and when doctors couldn't provide answers, he began researching his health himself. This work ultimately laid the foundation for a UFC championship and a coaching legacy that produced 12 MMA world champions. His firsthand experience showed him the powerful connection between what goes into the body and what comes out in performance. Today, through Soil Saviors, that same investigation extends to the land, exploring how depleted soil affects the food we grow and the bodies we live in. For gardeners and homesteaders seeking to grow real food without chemicals, Pat offers a clear, decades-tested perspective on the chain connecting soil, nutrition and human performance.
"I got good enough and I decided I was going to turn pro in kickboxing, but I still couldn't breathe." - Pat Miletich
