The Old Growth Table: Our Food Is Our Medicine

We are so proud to introduce our newest collaboration: The Old Growth Table , a brand new podcast hosted by Valerie Segrest (Muckleshoot), launching from our home at Tidelands Studio in downtown Seattle. It’s something we’ve been manifesting for years and it’s finally here! In this very special episode, we invite you into the first season of The Old Growth Table by airing its premiere episode right here on All My Relations. Valerie Segrest, Native nutritionist and food advocate, invites us in with teachings about springtime, a season of awakening, when the first wild foods emerge after months of winter stillness. She introduces us to two early spring greens—nettles and dandelions—and shows us how they offer more than nutrition. These are ancestral foods that carry teachings, stories, and ceremony. With humor, honesty, and deep care, we talk about what it means to rekindle relationships with these foods, especially when those relationships have been disrupted or shrouded in shame. Valerie reminds us that food is not just about nutrients— they offer us wisdom, remembering, and healing. Valerie also welcomes two powerful voices in Indigenous food sovereignty—Mariah Gladstone of Indigikitchen and Sean Sherman, author of The Sioux Chef —who join the conversation to reflect on what it means to say: Our food is our medicine. So come join us. Let’s listen, gather, and nourish. 🌿 This is The Old Growth Table . And this is just the beginning.
