Price, a pioneering dentist and nutritionist who studied the health of isolated populations and their dietary practices. Dr. Price’s book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration was written nearly 100 years ago and is as relevant today as it was when it was printed. It is one of the most important books on human health and nutrition every written and belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in optimal health, ancestral diets, or hunter gatherer diets.

In this episode we discuss Price's intervention diet, critiques of his research, and the lasting impact of his work on contemporary nutrition discussions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding Price's findings in the context of modern dietary practices and the relevance of his insights today. We also discuss some common errors that are made when discussing the work of Dr. Weston A Price, his views on plant based and vegan diets, as well as some of the limitations of his work.
