Description: In this episode we sit down with the founder of Simpli, Sarela Herrada, to talk about what is really happening behind our food system and why so many labels are misleading. She shares the moment she realized the system was broken and what she learned firsthand from working with farmers. We break down what regenerative farming actually means and why organic alone may not be enough anymore. We also talk about how much trust we should place in food labels today and how consumers can use their buying power to create real change. The conversation covers the biggest myths around clean food, common pantry mistakes, and the one food she always buys organic. She also shares what she would never feed her own kids and the one simple change every mom can make today to improve her family’s health.
