137 - The Power of Plants with Stephen Cowan

There’s plenty of pollution and stress compromising our bodies every day and since foods grown today only contain about 20% of the nutrients they had 80 years ago, we need all the help we can get, eating to improve our health.

Stephen Cowan is telling us how he went from working in the corporate world to realizing he was completely disconnected from nature to finding his passion and starting a microgreens company. Stephen shares in detail how an Iowaska “handshake” helped him to see the world differently, and help him to discover the power within all plants, which led to a deep desire to bring the benefits of microgreens to everyone.

Stephen shares how he intuitively landed on the power of broccoli and how the high levels of naturally-occurring nutrients, minerals, essential amino acids, and antioxidants found in microgreens are able to aid the human body in healing. Stephen helps us understand why it’s good to combine microgreens like broccoli with other foods to find the synergistic benefits.

Inspired by the power of plants after a visit to Peru, Chicago native Stephen Cowan, started a hydroponic Microgreens farm in the Colorado Rockies and began drying these nutrients dense vegetables and sneaking them into drinks and foods focusing on sustainably, increasing access to nutrition, and decreasing food waste.
