Healthy Land, Healthy People: A Conversation with Chuck Grimes of Grasslander

In this first episode of the Truth in Health Series, host Chip Paul sits down with Chuck Grimes, founder of Grasslander, to explore one of the most overlooked foundations of human wellness: the health of our soil, land, and food systems.

This conversation goes far beyond agriculture. Chuck reveals how regenerative land stewardship, nutrient density, water cycles, and microbial ecology are directly connected to chronic health issues, community resilience, and the future of wellness in Oklahoma and beyond.

If you’ve ever wondered why our food system is broken, how land impacts human biology, or what we can do to rebuild true health from the ground up — this episode will shift your perspective.

This series is brought to you by Wellness Alliance: Truth in Health Association, a community-led nonprofit working to unite practitioners, educators, advocates, and families behind a shared mission: bringing truth, transparency, and real solutions back into health.
