Bob Quinn is an organic farmer and researcher with a Ph.D. in plant biochemistry. Bob introduced and trademarked Kamut, an ancient wheat variety with anti-inflammatory properties. His research highlights its higher nutrient density and benefits for those with wheat sensitivities.

Bob grew up on a wheat farm in Montana, and transitioned to organic farming in the 1980s. After selling his businesses, he founded the Quinn Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to regenerative organic research and food as medicine. His work focuses on soil health, nutrient density, and the connection between food and human health.

In this episode, John and Bob discuss:

How nutrient-dense food can promote health and prevent disease
How Kamut wheat has been shown to reduce inflammation compared to modern wheat
The importance of revitalizing soil microbiomes to improve gut health
Why strengthening regional food systems enhances food security and resilience
The industrial food processing of vegetable oils, and their impact on health and nutrition
