The Grass-Fed Myth: Nutrition Tips for Buying Better Meat From Parker Pastures CEO Cloe Parker | EP217

REPLAY! Most people think "grass-fed" tells the full story. According to Cloe Parker, it often does not, and that changes everything about how you shop for meat.On this episode of Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman sits down with Cloe, who runs Parker Pastures, for one of the most practical wellness conversations the show has had. Cloe returned home after her mother was diagnosed with cancer and officially took over Parker Pastures right before she turned 20. Her mission since then has been simple. Help families understand what they are eating and why it matters.The wellness tips she shares here are not about supplements or skincare routines. They are about the food most of us buy every week without thinking twice. Cloe breaks down why the "grass-fed" label lost its regulatory meaning in 2016, what grain finishing does to the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in beef, and what fat color and meat color actually tell you about quality. She also gets into chicken processing, including the bleach bath most commercial chicken goes through before it hits the shelf.These are not wellness hacks you will find in a listicle. They are honest wellness conversations about the food system itself, the kind of relatable wellness conversations that make you rethink your next grocery run. Cloe also shares her wellness routines, from clean food and protein to faith, time in nature, and staying grounded in something real.Whether you are searching for the best wellness products or want better wellness tips for everyday life, this episode gives you a clear framework for both.Episode Breakdown:00:00 How Cloe Parker Took Over Her Family’s Meat Company03:32 The Truth About Grass-Fed Labels and What They Actually Mean05:42 How to Tell If Your Meat Is Really Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished13:04 The Truth About Grocery Store Chicken and Bleach Baths13:43 How to Order From Parker Pastures and Buy Meat in Bulk18:19 The State of the Food Industry and Why Small Farms Need Your Support23:01 Wellness Tips From a Rancher: Nature, Clean Food, and Daily GroundingConnect with Cloe Parker:Follow Cloe on InstagramFollow Parker Pastures on FacebookVisit the Parker Pastures websiteUse code "WELLNESS" at checkout for 10% off at ParkerPastures.com, other links on prior episode page on website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉🏻 Join the Wellness Junkies community: • Follow us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@wellnessjunkiesofficial ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram • Subscribe to our newsletter • Shop this episode + our faves on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMyShop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • NEW!
