Description
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.

Do you ever wonder where your steak came from? Did you know that there are only four major companies that control the majority of the beef supply in the U.S.? This is one reason that our food supply chain is so fragile. And this is what AJ Richards is setting out to change. AJ is a combat veteran, an entrepreneur and the head of Sustenance Earth, Inc. He wants to help everyone understand the importance of knowing the provenance of their food and establishing food security. As AJ puts it, it's time to "shake the hand that feeds us" by getting to know our local rancher. Going local upsets the conventional beef industry but it shores up your food security. You see, it's the beef industry centralization that is compounding issues in our national US food system...and that same system is negatively impacting our health and food sovereignty. AJ highlights today some of the issues with the current system and how to opt out of it, for the sake of your health and food freedom). He also tells of a standoff that his family had with the Bureau of Land Management that was attempting to confiscate their land.

Naysayers suggest that organic, regenerative farming is impractical, expensive, and less productive than conventional farming methods. Farmer Bob Quinn has been at it for over 40 years and he is convinced that not only is organic and regenerative farming is possible, it produces greater yields and can be more profitable. He tells numerous stories today from his own experience and from the farmers he's mentored over the years. He highlights how regenerative agriculture is a better way to farm, producing food that is better to eat. He talks about trends in farming, and his "four main pillars for turning food into medicine".

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.

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.

Most medical professionals don't read the latest studies. A lot of modern medicine is based on bad science (B.S.). Conventional medicine was never set up to promote good health; it was meant for profit. If these statements shock you, that is part of the point. Our guests today, Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, are co-authors of "The Red Pill Revolution" and they are on a mission to uncover the deceptive practices interwoven in modern medicine. They invite you to dig deeper to discover its dark roots and the industry that has developed around it. Listen with curiosity to learn how to take your health into your own hands and to opt out of the conventional system that is tied to the food and the pharmaceutical industry.

Why are more and more young people struggling with back pain, injuries, and chronic joint issues? Bam LionHeart suggests that just like we need to adopt a more natural, ancestral diet, we need to get back to natural movement patterns to reclaim our freedom to move with ease and pain-free. Bam is a natural movement coach and the founder of Primal Movement and today he offers insights on what is the source of our pain and how to incorporate more "highly nutritious" movement into our lives. He discusses the patterns of movement found in crawling, walking, and running and how to reincorporate these into our daily lives. He also goes over the problems caused by our sedentary lifestyles. Finally, he suggests that it's never too late to take on new-to-us yet ancient patterns of movement that offer benefits for today and tomorrow.

The water in and around us is negatively impacted by EMFs and toxins in the environment. This makes the water chaotic in structure and less health promoting. But what if we could help restructure it so that it could do us good, once again? Mario Brainović suggests that coherent, properly structured water improves gut health, increases energy and can actually reverse your biological age. He talks about how he and his team use technology to create a certain type of "mother water" (analemma) that can change the frequency and structure of the water we drink, offering numerous health benefits. He also shares what we can do to restructure water without any technology at all. Visit Mario's website: analemma-water.com Become a member of the Weston A.

You might think you would never get botox, but the allure of looking younger can get to just about anyone! This is what happened to today's guest, a self-described crunchy mom who decided to get the teeniest amount of botox treatment to diminish fine lines around her eyes. And it totally wrecked her health. Megan McCue is the author of Notox and Me Tox Pretty. And today she explains how that single treatment of Botox turned her life (and health) upside down. She goes over what happened to her--how she essentially became incapacitated, unable to work or care for her children, and how her doctor dismissed her concerns, suggesting she was simply anxious. Megan goes over the history of this product, its black box warnings, its prevalent use among young people and why she is an outspoken advocate for informed consent and pharmaceutical transparency. Finally, she makes clear that the symptoms of botulism can last years, which is one of the many reasons she recommends we steer clear of it.

Have you ever felt addicted to ultra-processed foods---like you knew they were bad for you, but you couldn't stop indulging? This happened to our guest today who at age 15 weighed over 300 lbs. And she didn’t know who she was anymore. Today, Penelope Popken is 19 and she's overcome her addictive behavior. During this revealing interview, mother and daughter discuss what led to Penelope’s struggles with weight, the drugs she took, the (mostly unhelpful) therapists’ recommendations and more. They go over how most weight loss drugs (including Ozempic) and other quick fixes (like gastric bypass surgeries) have dire consequences. And they cover what it took to turn things around for Penelope. By the way, her healing path included not just returning to real nourishing food but addressing dysfunctional family patterns that contributed to unhealthy behavior. Since both Helene and Penelope have had to overcome their individual struggles with unhealthy eating and obesity, they have started the Step it UP program to help other women in just their position. After failed attempts at diets, injections, and pills, they are on a mission to help everyone learn how to nourish themselves more deeply and to thrive.

How is running bad for us? Tennis shoes aren't doing us any favors. Cold plunges may be overrated. Mark Sisson is a pioneer in the ancestral health movement, known for his blog Mark's Daily Apple and the Primal Health Coach Institute. He is also the author of “Born to Walk”. Today, Mark highlights how good walking is for health and longevity. He also does some myth busting when it comes to current health trends. A former triathlete, Mark has shifted and now recommends walking instead of running, minimalist shoes (or going barefoot) over tennis shoes and NOT cold plunging every day (even though this has grown in popularity). He also reviews how to make the most of walking. And he goes over common injuries like plantar fasciitis and why orthotics are never the answer. His recommended health shifts just may inspire your own. Visit Mark's website: peluva.com Join Nourishing our Children Check out Optimal Carnivore and HydroHealth
Glyphosate is a toxic carcinogenic chemical found in RoundUp, a weedkiller that is routinely sprayed on our lawns and crops. But the bad news doesn't stop there! It is making its way into the food we eat, the air, and the water. Worse still, the maker of glyphosate, Bayer, is working on passing liability shield legislation so that they cannot be sued for the way the poison in their products is affecting the nation! Today, Kelly Ryerson, known as the Glyphosate Girl, explains why she is working so hard to inform the public about the dangers of glyphosate and the company that wants to protect itself from the fallout of the harm it is causing. Kelly goes over the legislation that is being considered in various states across the country. She also explains why glyphosate is so damaging, how it personally affected her own life, and how a General Mills whistleblower helped her to connect the dots about it all. Update: The liability legislation being considered in North Dakota, at the time of the interview, has since been passed in that state.

This woman is insulting. Come back and say this same thing when you get diagnosed with cancer or some other horrible disease.
I loved this! I can't find anywhere a list or suggested list for in home light bulbs. I need to start somewhere
we can recover from this national addiction and learn to use tools in Accord with human flourishing bringing glory to our Creator.
The takeover of small, organic agribusiness is a very interesting and important topic, but the lobbying for alternative medicine and homeopathy probably put off any intelligent people from the podcast
Great conversation
please know, God IS the "big bang"... no big bang created a car, or a blade of grass, it a sewing machine. all have a designer/creator. God is the Creator of the universe. Not a big bang theory. but there was a big bang, and God caused it🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️✝️
wow! she has zero standing to address this issue. please get a psychologist on to address this important issue.
Hi. Very interesting podcast. Just a quick question. Where I live there is a mountain range to my East, so I don't actually see the sun rising on the horizon so to speak. How do I factor this in to getting the first rays of sunlight and also the 10° time. Or is it not necessary to actually see the sun, but just be in the light of it?
love this buttery episode!
That was really interesting to hear about the eagle hunting and some of the traditions there! Good reminder at the end to get out and watch the sunrise and get outside for the first hour in the morning!
He lost me when he said that we evolved from monkeys.
you are so disingenuous
Thanks! Enjoy this traditional wisdom!
"A lot of people don't realize that 'billions of years ago there was no oxygen'"... That's where I couldn't keep on. I enjoy learning and hearing new ideas but not when concepts are based on a lie. Still amazing to me how so many people deny God's creation and the Bible!
This is so good! Thanks for sharing this practical wisdom
did wapf really just run an ad for AHA and New York life?
this is a GREAT episode!!! superb!
thank you for speaking up!
Claro queremos más audios y no ticias en español sobre temas interesantes como la salud.
