580: Pulling Back The Veil On Chronic Illness with Dr. Sina McCullough

580: Pulling Back The Veil On Chronic Illness with Dr. Sina McCullough

Author: Weston A. Price Foundation May 25, 2026 Duration: 47:11

In this powerful first conversation, Dr. Sina McCullough shares how she went from a vibrant, athletic life to being so sick she could no longer stand, eat, or care for herself—and how she found her way back.
 
Despite her PhD in nutrition, Sina spent years searching for answers within the medical system, only to be told her symptoms were “all in her head.” At her lowest point, she chose a different path—one that led her to uncover hidden toxicities, nutrient deficiencies, and overlooked food sensitivities that were keeping her body from healing.
 
In this episode, she introduces the concept of “The Veil”—the unseen trust we place in our food system—and challenges the idea that chronic illness is something we must simply manage. Instead, she offers a powerful reframe: the body is designed to heal when we remove what harms it and restore what’s missing.
 
We also explore why diets often fail, the difference between remission and true healing, and the critical role of emotional and spiritual stress in long-term health.
 
Sina’s message is both sobering and hopeful: healing is possible—and it begins with seeing clearly.
 
Stay tuned for Part 2.

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.
