Wise Traditions
The Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health based on traditional wisdom. We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found through “improving” nature. On the contrary, “life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed,” as Dr. Weston Price put it. We can learn from healthy societies of the past how to live healthier lives now.
The Foundation's podcast is an invitation to follow traditional food and health ways to live our best lives. Our host and producer, Hilda Labrada Gore, interviews experts on a wide variety of topics—ranging from nutrient-dense foods to improving mental health to homesteading to detoxing to healing emotional trauma to the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Every episode offers the listener a way to heal, grow and live a more vibrant and happy life.

521: Why The American Dietary Guidelines Are Making Us Fatter and Sicker Than Ever With Nina Teicholz
The U.S. dietary guidelines are considered the "gold standard" of nutrition recommendations. But they are failing us. Americans are unhealthier (and more obese) than ever before. Nina Teicholz, the author of "The Big Fat Surprise", explains why they are faulty and based on poor science. She goes over how the guidelines were chosen, its ties to the American Heart Association, Proctor & Gamble and Crisco. She explains why the emphasis on grains (even refined grains) and low-fat choices have led to sickness. And why saturated fat and sodium consumption are currently "capped" but shouldn't be. Finally, she shares her vision for how the guidelines could be reformed, based on sound science, for improved health outcomes for all Americans.

518: What the Nurses Saw: The Perversion of Medicine During Covid With Ken McCarthy
They say that those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. This is why we are releasing this podcast focused on what happened in hospitals during the "pandemic." Ken McCarthy is the author of "What the Nurses Saw," and today he reveals the systemic issues in patient care that occurred during the time of COVID-19—from unethical changes in the standards of care for patients to the unprepared staff and unhelpful hospital hierarchy to incentives for the use of ventilators and for labeling deaths as covid-related. It played out like a horror show instead of health care, according to Ken. And anyone who dared to call out what was happening was censored or had their license revoked or were publicly shamed. It was a blatant attack on free speech. Ken boldly reminds us of what happened only four or five years ago and explains why this all matters now.

Today Mollie shares her remarkable story, all that she went through, and why she has chosen to stand strong in the face of opposition.

513: The Media, Mind Control and How We Are Being Poisoned with Jason Christoff
There are currently techniques being implemented to psychologically manipulate, persuade, and control the public. We're not just referencing marketing firms trying to get you to purchase something. From Hollywood movies to government programs, there are subtle systems and approaches in place to alter behavior...and negatively impact the health and autonomy of the populace. Jason Christoff runs an international psychological reprogramming institute and in this episode he explains what's going on and how it can sabotage our independence and critical thinking without our even realizing it. Some techniques have been used for centuries and can shift us, for example, from a beta brain wave (thinking) state to an alpha brain wave (trance) state, making us susceptible to suggestion and more compliant. Jason also goes over what toxins in our environment "dumb us down" in effect, also making us possible pawns to powers that desire to control us.

511: German New Medicine: What Is REALLY Making You Sick? with Dr. Melissa Sell
What if your body isn't malfunctioning but adapting? Could trauma or conflict be the root cause of the dis-ease you’re experiencing? Dr. Melissa Sell, a chiropractor and New Medicine consultant, shares an insightful overview of Germanic New Medicine (GNM), a radically different approach to healing. Many of us spend years overhauling our diets or trying new protocols for gut issues, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illnesses—often without lasting results. Melissa explains the fundamentals of GNM, highlighting how a root conflict or emotional shock can trigger the body’s adaptation process, leading to symptoms, healing, and eventual resolution. She shares her personal journey of overcoming acne through GNM and why she believes every life conflict serves a purpose, helping us grow and learn.
