Wise Traditions

Traditional diets maximized nutrients. Modern diets minimize them. Our current health crisis stems from our departure from traditional food and health ways – both how we raise our livestock and grow our produce, to what we do to it before it reaches our plate.   Sally Fallon Morell, the President and founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, explains where we've gone wrong and what we can do to rectify it.   Visit Sally's website: Nourishing Traditions Follow the Wise Traditions podcast on your favorite podcast platform!

Provision 453 of the current House Appropriations bill for FY 2026 will create, in effect, a kind of liability shield for pesticide companies, protecting them from lawsuits. This means that if you are made sick by their products you will have no real legal recourse, even though scientific evidence points to the harm caused by their products. Today, molecular toxicologist Dr. Alexandra Muñoz helps us examine this particular provision that is in front of U.S. lawmakers right now. We invite you to learn more about what’s at stake, the ramifications of this bill's passage, and to act swiftly to communicate to U.S. representatives in the House and Senate that we do NOT want this bill passed with this provision.

If you got one of the COVID shots, you're not stuck. Your body has the ability to detoxify. Where to start, though? Our guest today, Christian Elliot of Healing United, suggests avoiding what he calls "biochemical whack-a-mole". Instead, he recommends that you purify and nourish the body to support its innate detoxing capabilities. He begins by helping us understand what was in the shots in the first place (including 55 undeclared chemicals not on the package insert). He goes over best practices and protocols for detoxing including fasting and lifestyle changes. He also addresses shedding, what supplements he recommends, and how to support the body's innate wisdom and clear its detox pathways.

Mike Keen came up with the idea of a kayak expedition off the coast of Greenland before he had any clue about how transformative it would be for his life and health and worldview! Today, he dives into what went down—what it was like eating the traditional Inuit diet (including fermented seal!), how his body responded to the kayaking and change in diet, and insights gathered by the microbiologists examining his stool samples (yes, his poop). Now, he has planned to explore more remote places and to continue diving into traditional diets to see how his body responds. A former chef, Mike now admits that he learned more from this experience kayaking around Greenland than from the many decades prior, when he was purchasing and preparing overly processed foods.   Visit Mike's website: eatyourenvironment.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference in Utah at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Paleovalley and Optimal Carnivore

What if we considered a new/ancient approach for healing ourselves...and the land? Anna Chaney went out on a limb to try to find answers for her own health and stumbled upon "energy healing." And while it may sound "woo woo", energy medicine helped her resolve many chronic conditions that were plaguing her.   Anna then went on to implement ancient practices for the healing of her land. She started prioritizing "living soil" (her #1 crop). She began playing the long game by following permaculture principles and other simple, ancestral techniques to revitalize the land, make it more productive, and enable it to provide healthy veggies, untouched by artificial, chemical inputs—so that it could make better the lives of generations to come.   Visit Anna's website: honeysharvest.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference this fall in Utah!
