566: Stop Fearing Saturated Fat! It's Actually Good For You With Bryan Mussard

Author: Weston A. Price Foundation February 16, 2026 Duration: 45:53

The American Heart Association still recommends limiting saturated fat intake. Grocery market shelves are loaded with promises of "heart healthy" seed oils. It's time to do some myth busting. Bryan Mussard is a lifelong rancher who is passionate about reviving regenerative ranching and making America healthy again… by embracing saturated fat.

As a young man, Bryan went through a personal health crisis that led him to investigate the benefits of fat. As a rancher and advocate for the Make America Healthy Again initiatives, he is uniquely positioned to offer insights on how politics, Big Food, and Big Ag can be made to see the light about the benefits of saturated fat and meat.

Hosted by the Weston A. Price Foundation, Wise Traditions explores a path to well-being rooted in the diets and lifestyles of ancestral cultures. This podcast operates from a simple premise: that the secrets to robust health aren't found in the latest trends or synthetic supplements, but in the time-tested traditions of our ancestors. Each episode delves into practical wisdom, from preparing nutrient-dense foods and understanding the role of animal fats to exploring holistic approaches to fitness and mental wellness. You'll hear from researchers, farmers, doctors, and practitioners who are applying these principles today, offering conversations that challenge conventional health narratives. The discussions are grounded in the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, whose famous observation that "Life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed" serves as a guiding light. Tuning in provides a deep dive into how traditional foods, regenerative agriculture, and a respectful approach to nature's design can fundamentally reshape your health. It's for anyone feeling disconnected from natural ways of living and curious about how the wisdom of the past can inform a healthier, more vibrant present. The Wise Traditions podcast is a resource for those ready to look beyond the mainstream and consider how ancestral knowledge holds critical answers for modern life.
