About this broadcast
Concerns about food quality, chemical exposure, and chronic disease are growing—but finding clear, trustworthy information can be challenging.
Join AMAC Active for a special live webinar featuring Kelly Ryerson, widely known as “Glyphosate Girl,” one of the nation’s leading advocates for food transparency, regenerative agriculture, and consumer education.
Kelly will explore some of the most common questions Americans are asking about today’s food system, including glyphosate, food labeling, environmental exposures, soil health, and food quality. She’ll share what current research tells us, where legitimate concerns exist, and how consumers can make informed choices without becoming overwhelmed by conflicting information.
AMAC Active host Melanie Griffin will sit down with Kelly for a candid conversation centered around a question many Americans are asking: Can We Trust Our Food? They’ll discuss glyphosate, food additives, organic versus conventional foods, regenerative agriculture, ingredient transparency, and practical strategies for navigating today’s food environment.
The event concludes with a live audience Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask their own questions and participate in the conversation. Join us for this timely discussion and gain greater confidence in understanding what’s really in our food.

Kelly Ryerson, MBA, IHC — Glyphosate Girl
In coping with and ultimately healing my own chronic illness through diet change, toxin removal, and vitamin replenishment, I spent years studying intestinal permeability, the microbiome, and environmental toxins. What began as a personal journey evolved into a deep investigation into why so many of my family members and friends were also falling ill. The patterns often traced back to the same root causes. With the rapid growth of research on the gut and exposome, we now have a clearer scientific understanding of how chemical agriculture has led to an alarming rise in chronic disease. Six in ten adults in the U.S. live with a chronic disease, and four in ten have two or more. More than half of American children now face chronic health issues before adulthood. There is one common thread: what we eat. Our industrial food system, saturated with pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic inputs, has made the urgent need for clean, nutrient-dense food more critical than ever. Time is running out to reverse course. I work at the intersection of agriculture and human health, collaborating with farmers, scientists, policymakers, and media to expose and address the damage agrochemicals cause to our soil and our bodies. In addition to founding Glyphosate Facts and blogging from the first three glyphosate cancer trials, I have contributed to several documentaries, podcasts, and publications. I am the Co-Executive Director of the regenerative farming project American Regeneration and serve as an ambassador for the Rodale Institute. I have a BA in Economics from Dartmouth College, an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business with a focus in Healthcare Public Management, and completed training in Integrative Health Coaching at Duke Integrative Medicine.
