In this episode, Henry tackles the following topics:

Henry points to the work of regenerative agriculture movements such as Kiss the Ground and Farmer’s Footprint and praises their efforts to raise awareness of environmental issues and highlight the important role of the soil in capturing carbon from the atmosphere.
[24.45] Using yoga to overcome addiction.
