What We Lost When We Stopped Hunting | Mansal Denton

Most people eat food without ever facing what it cost.

The land. The animal. The blood. The death. The responsibility.

In this episode, I sit down with Mansal Denton, founder of Sacred Hunting and Real Provisions, for a conversation about the part of nutrition modern life keeps hidden.

This is not just about hunting.

It is about what happens when food becomes too clean on the outside, toxic on the inside, too packaged, too distant from the reality that something had to die so we could live.

Mansal has spent years helping people reconnect with wild, ethically sourced, nutrient-dense food. And in this conversation, we talk about what hunting reveals, what supermarkets hide and why facing where your food comes from may change the way you see meat, health, and nature altogether.
