Wise Traditions

Weston A. Price Foundation w/ Hilda Labrada Gorewisetraditions.libsyn.com
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.

442: Return To Real Food

There are so many ingredients on food labels that are unrecognizable to us. This likely means that they are unrecognizable to our bodies, as well--which means that they're harming rather than helping us.

432: Bucking The Mainstream System

Do you ever question the mainstream narrative about health, food, and the government? When you do, what do you do? Do you go with your gut or with the public agenda?

Ronnie is the founder and former director of the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), a long-time activist, protestor, and author. Ronnie passed away in April of 2023, but in May 2022, he sh...

430: Why "Regenerative Agriculture" Is Not Enough

Regenerative agriculture has been hailed as the solution for restoring the health of the soil...and the entire planet. But this label--"regenerative agriculture"--is limited in its scope.

Daniel Griffith, author, co-manager of Timshel Wildland and President of the Robinia Institute, today calls us to consider a shift in how we perceive our relationship to the land and to ourselves.

428: Toxic Superfoods: Identify And Avoid Oxalates

So many innocent-looking "healthy" foods (even so-called "superfoods") could be actually compromising your health! Carrots, beets, spinach, and cashews, for example.

425: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health

Vegetable oils (A.K.A seed oils) are pro-oxidative, pro-inflammatory, toxic, and nutrient-deficient.

423: The Scoop On The COVID19 Shot

Even though the covid "health emergency" has officially ended, lots of questions remain. The COVID19 shot is still being recommended by the CDC for inclusion on the childhood vaccination schedule.

In March 2022, the court ordered the release of Pfizer documents, but they were lengthy and overwhelming--very challenging for the average person to go through, let alone understand.
