78: Bonus episode: nutrition hacks

Author: Weston A. Price Foundation May 27, 2017 Duration: 26:01

Is fasting good for you? How should your diet change as you age? What's the best way to lose unwanted pounds? Why do "diet dictocrats" still insist we eat a low-fat diet, when the science points in a different direction? In today's conversation with Sally Fallon Morell, the head of the Weston A. Price Foundation, we touch on all of these topics.

It is a "best of" bonus episode, featuring excerpts from articles in the Wise Traditions spring journal. You'll learn why nothing is off the table on the Wise Traditions diet. You'll hear about the misguided advice given to diabetic children and adults. You'll gain insight from Dr. Cowan's suggestions on balancing calorie intake and activity level. And, finally, you'll be shocked by some myth-busting related to the "Blue Zones" take on the traditional diets of Costa Ricans.

There are nutrition and wellness hacks in every segment of this episode. Listen closely and you will be the better for it!

The conversations on Wise Traditions, presented by the Weston A. Price Foundation, explore a path to well-being that feels almost forgotten. This isn't about the latest trends or synthetic solutions; it's a deep dive into the dietary patterns and living wisdom of ancestral communities who achieved remarkable physical health. Each episode brings forward voices-researchers, farmers, clinicians, and healers-who discuss practical applications of this knowledge for contemporary life. You'll hear detailed discussions on sourcing and preparing nutrient-dense foods, the role of traditional fats, the gut microbiome, and the profound connections between soil health and human health. The podcast operates from a core principle articulated by Dr. Weston A. Price himself: that true vitality comes from aligning with nature's laws, not attempting to supersede them. It’s for anyone questioning conventional dietary advice and seeking a more rooted, evidence-based approach to fitness and holistic wellness. Tune in for a consistently challenging and enriching perspective that redefines what it means to be truly nourished, drawing on centuries of human experience to inform our choices today.
