You’re the Cure w/ Dr. Ben Edwards

What does it look like to tell the truth—even when it costs you everything? In this powerful episode of You’re the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with returning guest Mollie Engelhardt—former vegan chef and LA restaurateur turned regenerative farmer and founder of Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas. Mollie shares her raw, vulnerable journey of publicly changing her mind, walking away from massive financial success, and choosing obedience, integrity, and truth over comfort and approval. From being a darling of Hollywood’s vegan scene to losing a restaurant empire during COVID, Mollie opens up about the personal, financial, and spiritual cost of standing by her convictions. She explains why she wrote her book Debunked by Nature, how regenerative agriculture shattered her former beliefs, and why changing your mind in public is an act of courage in a deeply divided world. Mollie also shares the vision behind Sovereignty Ranch: a hospitality ranch rooted in regenerative farming, nutrient-dense food, faith, and community—along with how people can get involved, visit, or support the mission.

What if nutrition isn’t just a health choice—but a spiritual one? In this episode of You’re the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with Andy Felton, author of Nourished by Design: A Christ-Centered Approach to Nutrition, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation that bridges theology, science, and real-world health. Andy shares his personal journey from Navy submarine officer to Christian nutrition researcher, explaining how anxiety, infertility, and frustration with both secular health culture and shallow faith-based answers led him to write the book he couldn’t find. Together, Dr. Ben and Andy explore what it means to have an embodied faith—one that takes God’s design for the human body seriously. Andy thoughtfully dismantles the idea that health and pleasure must be at odds, arguing instead that God’s design is both nourishing and delightful. With theological depth and scientific rigor, this episode challenges listeners to rethink food—not as a battleground of fear and restriction, but as a daily invitation to gratitude, wisdom, and faithful living.
