Improved digestion. Clearer skin. Brain fog clearing up. These are some of the benefits of paying attention to the quality of ingredients that go into (and on) the body! Gubba Homestead, a leading figure in the homesteading and natural skincare community, experienced all of the above and then some. Her family’s health improved, too, as they began avoiding toxic chemicals and returning to more natural foods and products.

Gubba tells her story today and also what led to her recent de-platforming on TikTok. (She was talking about the dangers of ingredients in sunscreen when her account was taken down.) She explains where her passion originated and why she won’t give up helping people uncover what’s in their food and skin care products. Finally, she also gets into what led her into homesteading and why she believes we can all become homesteaders in our own right (even if we live in the city)!

Defend your right to drink raw milk, to buy food directly from your farmer and to keep your bodily autonomy! Julie Dean Richards, the Crunchy Legal Lady, helps us understand what our rights are when it comes to all of the above and then some.

She goes over how to obtain a religious exemption to vaccinations, how to identify health practitioners who honor your right as a parent (so that your children will not have to get shots if you don't want them to). She discusses the Amos Miller case and Private Membership Agreements and whether or not they are helpful for protecting your rights to purchase food from the farmer of your choice. And last, but not least, Julie reminds us that we can be activists without ever turning up in a courtroom or at a protest at city hall.
