How is running bad for us? Tennis shoes aren't doing us any favors. Cold plunges may be overrated. Mark Sisson is a pioneer in the ancestral health movement, known for his blog Mark's Daily Apple and the Primal Health Coach Institute. He is also the author of “Born to Walk”. Today, Mark highlights how good walking is for health and longevity.   He also does some myth busting when it comes to current health trends. A former triathlete, Mark has shifted and now recommends walking instead of running, minimalist shoes (or going barefoot) over tennis shoes and NOT cold plunging every day (even though this has grown in popularity). He also reviews how to make the most of walking. And he goes over common injuries like plantar fasciitis and why orthotics are never the answer. His recommended health shifts just may inspire your own.   Visit Mark's website: peluva.com Join Nourishing our Children Check out Optimal Carnivore and HydroHealth

What if your body was trying to tell you something about your state of health...through your blood? And not just through blood tests or "live blood analysis" but via a holographic image?! Adam and Josh Bigelsen are carrying on the important work of their father, Harvey Bigelsen, the author of "Holographic Blood" and "Doctors are More Harmful than Germs".   Today they help us wrap our head around the message(s) that our bodies want to communicate to us. They explain the patterns that the blood uses to tell us about our health. They also go over the progression of disease and how important it is to read the body's messages... and how you can you do so with or without a dark field microscopy instrument.   Visit the Bigelsens' website: Bigelsenacademy.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Earth Runners

They say that those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. This is why we are releasing this podcast focused on what happened in hospitals during the "pandemic." Ken McCarthy is the author of "What the Nurses Saw," and today he reveals the systemic issues in patient care that occurred during the time of COVID-19—from unethical changes in the standards of care for patients to the unprepared staff and unhelpful hospital hierarchy to incentives for the use of ventilators and for labeling deaths as covid-related.   It played out like a horror show instead of health care, according to Ken. And anyone who dared to call out what was happening was censored or had their license revoked or were publicly shamed. It was a blatant attack on free speech. Ken boldly reminds us of what happened only four or five years ago and explains why this all matters now.   Visit Ken's website: What The Nurses Saw Become a member of the Weston A.

Lots of people transition from the vegan diet to one that includes meat and animal products...but few do so on a public stage. Former vegan chef Mollie Engelhart had a dietary change of heart that became very public when she changed the menu and name of her restaurant in California. That's when the virtual and in-person backlash and vitriol began. While Mollie's restaurant has now closed, she is a regenerative rancher who is sticking to her dietary convictions.   Today Mollie shares her remarkable story, all that she went through, and why she has chosen to stand strong in the face of opposition. She also explains why she believes regeneratively raised meat, food traditions and food sovereignty are so important. And why she goes the extra mile to get raw milk to her community in Texas.   Visit Mollie's website: sovereigntyranch.com Listen to the Gubba Homestead podcast Check out our sponsors Optimal Carnivore and Gray Toad Tallow

What if everything we've been told is backwards? Peanuts have been labeled bad for us due to mycotoxins, but what if they're actually protective—especially against EMFs? And copper, once a staple in our lives through pipes, tools, and cups, has been replaced with iron, PVC, and plastic. Why did we move away from this beneficial material? In this episode, Matt Roeske of Cultivate Elevate explores "inverted truths" about our health and well-being. From climate change and its manufactured narrative to the real story behind peanuts, copper, and water scarcity, Matt challenges mainstream assumptions. He invites us to think critically and rediscover what truly supports health and balance.

Homeopathy is a commonly practiced system of medicine, worldwide. And yet it is sometimes regarded with a fair amount of skepticism. Today, Dr. Lauri Grossman, President of the Board of Directors of the National Center for Homeopathy, addresses how (and why) to get started with homeopathy in your own home.   She tells the story of what originally sparked her own interest in homeopathy. She covers what it is and how it works. And how we can use it for our children, as a complement to conventional treatments. Dr. Lauri also offers simple first steps for applying it to our families' health and explains why you don't have to be "crunchy" to give homeopathy a try.   Visit Lauri's websites: drlaurigrossman.com and homeopathycenter.org Check out our sponsors: Nourishing Our Children, Optimal Carnivore, and Fat of the Land Watch the movie Dr. Lauri recommends: "Introducing Homeopathy"

Proper gym etiquette (ie, manners and common sense) is so important, but often overlooked - Rachel and Ashleigh get fired up over some of the most egregious issues we see in the gym. They also talk about Mukbang videos (what are they? Why do people like them? What are the health implications)? We talk about whether it's possible (or healthy) to get multiple days' worth of calories in a single meal, and how to boost your nutrition if you just can't eat liver (although Ashleigh thinks you should just suck it up and eat liver).

Is it bad to not take a rest day? What are the red flags that you're over-training (or maybe under-training)? Should women cycle-sync their workouts? Is cardio important or should we just focus on resistance training? Kelsee Moore is a strength and conditioning coach, coaching the best and brightest athletes and military service members in NCAA Division I athletics and Air Force Special Warfare.   Today, Kelsee tells us how to make the most of our workouts as women and she answers her most frequently asked questions like: How do we reduce our chances of injury? Should we rest our injuries or work through the pain? How quickly do we decondition if we take a break from training? What role does diet play? And what about rest? From her own experience as an athlete--running ultra-marathons and 50-mile races--and as a top-notch trainer who has worked with the best, Kelsee offers important insights and tips for training for optimal performance and health.   Go to Kelsee's website: heyyomooreandco.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Lumiram

Fascia is a kind of "sensing organ" (connective tissue) that extends from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. How can we work with it, improve its suppleness, and benefit from its healing capabilities? Today, Elisha Celeste of the School for Living Science and the Human Freedom Project podcast, helps us wrap our minds around this mysterious, all-encompassing tissue. Elisha goes over the kinetic energies in nature and how they relate to how our bodies function, and consequently how our fascia acts and reacts to our environment. She offers tips for optimizing fascial health (like the importance of hydration for the fascia to work properly) while also reminding us that there is not one simple technique for healing that works for everybody. Elisha also busts common misconceptions around fascia and even fascial release.

Molly and John Chester set up Apricot Lane Farms (known as the Biggest Little Farm) with the intention of working in harmony with nature, while maximizing nutrients and flavor. Have they been successful? What has changed since the documentary came out five years ago featuring their farm?

If the bird flu virus hasn't been isolated, why does it matter? What are the implications? Has any virus EVER been isolated? These are questions that have the potential to undermine our current understanding not only of viruses but of all sicknesses. Jamie Andrews is the Project Manager overseeing control studies to reexamine our understanding of virology. He addresses today the methodology for the new studies, the reason behind them, and what this has to do with our own personal approach to wellbeing and nurturing good health.

Structured water is critical to good health. But what is it? How do we get more of it in the body? And can it really help us detox from disruptive ingredients in covid shots and other injections? And prevent or even help us heal after heart attacks?   Dr. Stephen Hussey addresses all of the above in today's conversation. Stephen is the author of Understanding the Heart,  and he has done a deep dive into what caused his own heart attack (at age 34!) and how to shore up health. He is convinced that it has everything to do with structured water (also called EZ or 4th phase water). Today he discusses how to create more of this critical water in the body and how it can help us not only detox from shots but heal and in the process, safeguard our health altogether.   Visit Stephen's website: resourceyourhealth.com Register for our annual Wise Traditions conference here: wisetraditions.org Become a member of the Weston A.

Why does bread get a bad rap? Maybe it's because we've forgotten how to prepare it the traditional way. Courtney Queen is a sourdough bread expert and the chef behind Butter for All (a recipe website) and today she explains how bread can be good for you, particularly when it's sourdough!   Courtney goes over how to make it, what flour is best (most digestible and nutrient-rich), whether you need a starter or not to (a-hem) get started, and how entire civilizations have been built on grains and bread.   Visit Courtney's website: butterforall.com Register for the pasture-based farm event on August 25 at Sally Fallon Morell's farm.

How can we better understand (and care for) the world around us? Be more in sync with nature? Become better attuned to what grows and lives in our own backyard? Permaculturist and author Ben Falk offers his candid thoughts on how to do just this. He starts with his own story, explaining how he went from "tree hugger" to where he is today (more than an "environmentalist" in the traditional sense of the word). He goes over the permaculture zones and other basics for how to best interact with our environment, reviews how to make the most of our resources (yes, even human "waste"), and ultimately how to collaborate with nature for a brighter future for all of us.

What are our options when it comes to seafood? Farmed fish is often raised with antibiotics and even fed food coloring to dye its flesh to make it appear healthier. The process of wild-caught fish regularly leaves other sea creatures trapped in the nets, only to be discarded and wasted. Sustainable aquaculture shows us that there is a way to raise and harvest fish (and eat them) that is better for them, the environment, and our health! Ty Walker runs Smoke In Chimneys, a revitalized 1930s trout hatchery in Virginia, and today, he reveals what's possible when it comes to identifying and enjoying quality seafood. Today, Ty goes over what's going on with most farmed fish and industrial-scale wild fishing. He reveals issues with overfishing, the "fresh" label on our seafood, and microplastics in our oceans and fish. He points out that sustainable aquaculture is much like regenerative farming; it presents a sustainable and viable option that honors our environment and nurtures our well-being.

How far do we have to go to be deemed "beautiful" by society's standards? Many end up losing their health as they put their bodies through extreme dieting and cosmetic surgery. It's actually possible to cultivate beauty naturally and preserve our health in the process! This is the outlook of Lauren Berlingeri, the co-founder of HigherDOSE. Lauren is a former model who has first-hand experience trying to jump through the hoops of looking "perfect". In today's candid conversation, Lauren shares how striving to achieve that standard wrecked her health, leaving her exhausted and with gut issues. She tells the story of how she ended up getting breast implants and why she later decided to have them removed. She goes over her new health regimen which includes sunlight, infrared sauna therapy, and more. She explains why she advocates for a more natural approach these days when it comes to beauty and cultivating well-being. Visit Lauren's website: higherdose.com Become a member of the Weston A.

When was cholesterol chosen to be the villain of good health? What is the history behind the campaign against cholesterol? Dr. Cate Shanahan, the author of "Deep Nutrition" and "Dark Calories", reviews the dark history of the misunderstanding related to this important nutrient. She discusses cholesterol's true (and important) role in hormone regulation and reducing oxidative stress.   Cholesterol is so important, actually, that Cate suggests that we should celebrate when our cholesterol levels are high!   Cate also answers the question: If cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks, what does?    Visit Cate's website: drcate.com Get on the Weston A.

A hospital may very well be the last place to go if you want to stay well (and alive)! Did you know that medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States? The best thing to do is to steer clear of the hospital, whenever possible.   Dr. Andrew Kaufman is a self-proclaimed "recovering physician" and skeptic of allopathic medicine. Today, he explains how to equip your household to avoid hospital visits and extended stays. He offers tips for building your home first aid kit and explains how even high fevers and appendicitis need not be cause for alarm (or a trip to the ER). He covers how to shore up your health, so the hospital needn't be your go-to, in the first place. He also describes just what to do if you do end up in the waiting room with a stack of papers to sign and a strong interest in protecting your medical freedom and sovereignty.   Visit Andy's website for more info and resources: andrewkaufmanmd.com Become a member of the Weston A.

Sophia Nguyen Eng was in the tech world when she decided to make a dramatic shift. She left her high-paying corporate job, exchanged it for a homestead with chickens and sheep, and began cooking real food for her family. The next thing she knew, she was working on "The Nourishing Asian Kitchen" cookbook in an attempt to preserve the rich culinary traditions of Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries.   Today, she tells us what drove her shift. She talks about her family's health concerns (like her husband's eczema or her mother's heart issues), where she began to overhaul her kitchen (hint: in the spices, sauces, and oils in the cabinets) and how we can make similar shifts for health and healing. She also describes which recipes are the easiest to attempt from her cookbook for the Asian cooking novice and why eating out at Asian restaurants can be problematic.   This episode was recorded in front of a LIVE audience of Weston A.

To set your body up for healing, it needs to feel it is safe. Safety signaling frees up "bandwidth" for your nervous system to repair and reset. Dr. Olivia Lesslar is a medical doctor who specializes in neuro optimization. Today, she explains how to make space for your body to heal with safety signaling. She offers concrete tips that she has successfully used with her own patients to get them into the parasympathetic healing state, like scanning the horizon and eating meals at the same time everyday.

If you are considering getting the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine, or having your teenager or young adult get it, you need to first understand why the vaccine was created in the first place, the risks involved with getting the vaccine (compared to the risk of contracting HPV) and how cervical cancer can be prevented through nutrition and lifestyle changes. These are exactly the things that Dr. Nathan Riley reviews on today's podcast. He offers insights for all of us on the financial incentives for pharmaceutical companies developing vaccines, the dangerous side effects of the HPV vaccine, in particular, and what he has learned about the risks and outcomes for those who do get the HPV vaccine and for those who do not.   Check out Nathan's website: belovedholistics.com Join the Weston A.

India is NOT a vegetarian nation. Only about 20% of the population does not eat meat. However, there is a growing anti-meat movement in India that is negatively impacting many in that country. Today, Dr. Sylvia Karpagam goes over the societal, governmental, and corporate forces that are a part of the propaganda wave. The efforts include banning eggs and meat from school lunches.   Dr. Sylvia is a public health doctor and human rights advocate who explains how the traditional caste system in India plays a part in the biases against meat. She also covers the current state of nutrition and well-being in that country, how far some go to penalize meat eaters, and how and why some are promoting a nutrient-poor, cereal-heavy diet to those who are most in need of nutrient-rich foods.   Check out Dr. Karpagam's blog: drsylviakarpagam.wordpress.com - https://drsylviakarpagam.wordpress.com Follow Weston A.

Do you ever wish there were a study comparing outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated infants, children, and adults? There have been hundreds of these studies. The results are peer-reviewed and published and have been compiled by our guest today, Dr. Brian Hooker.

What would ever possess a couple to live off grid, with no electricity, no plumbing, and so removed from civilization? For Doug and Stacy, it started with small changes that they began to make to improve their health. Little by little, the small shifts they incorporated–such as replacing a plastic shower curtain and changing the timing of meals–took them closer and closer to a lifestyle that was sustainable, fulfilling, health-enhancing and ultimately, yes, off grid. Over time, they lost weight, eliminated brain fog, and regained energy and vitality. This couple, most known for their YouTube channel “Off Grid with Doug and Stacy”, shows us what's possible. They remind us that good health is attainable through small steps. And that such steps just might get us to live to the ripe old age of 120, whether we go completely off grid or not.   Check out Doug and Stacy's website: offgridwithdougandstacy.com Become a member of the Weston A.

For too long we've been obsessed with calorie-counting. It's high time we started counting nutrients instead. Dianne Koehler is the owner and Director of the Nutrition Therapy Institute (NTI) in Colorado. Today, Dianne helps us get a handle on what to look for when it comes to feeding ourselves and our families nutrient-dense food.   She goes over the building blocks of nutrition. She explains why we must carefully evaluate claims on packages and advice from governmental agencies about what to eat. She goes over how to determine which foods actually serve us best and how to identify foods that deserve the label “superfood”. (Hint: these are foods that offer the most nutrient-density and come from animal products that are well-sourced). In sum, she gives tips for making better choices in the day-to-day. And along the way she tells about the a-ha that led her to abandon her vegan diet for a more nutrient-rich one, for her and her family.   Go to Dianne's website: ntischool.com SIgn up for your first nutrition course: ntischool.com/wisetraditions Make the 50% pledge on our website: westonaprice.com - https://www.westonaprice.org/50-50-pledge/#gsc.tab=0 Check out our sponsors: Offally Good Cooking's Liver Lover Challenge - https://liverloverchallenge.com/masterclass and Optimal Carnivore - https://www.amazon.com/optimalcarnivore

Itchiness. Indigestion. Digestive issues. Allergies. Asthma. Brain fog. Even food sensitivities. All of these could indicate that there is a parasite imbalance in the body. Laura Villanti, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and the founder of At Home with Wellness, helps guide you to determine how to test for parasites, the most effective protocols for eliminating them, and how to become a “bad host” for them. Laura goes over, in detail, why not all parasite testing is accurate and which she recommends the most. She explains the role of parasites (yes, nature has a task for them) and how an imbalance can lead to trouble and what to do about it. She gets specific about how to avoid getting parasites in the first place, with simple tips, like thoroughly washing produce, maintaining a clean home, ingesting specific herbs, and also making sure that our beloved pets don't accidentally transmit their parasites to us.   Visit Laura's website: At Home with Wellness – https://athomewithwellness.com For parasite testing go here: Parasitology Center Inc.

Do you ever wonder where your steak came from? Did you know that there are only four major companies that control the majority of the beef supply in the U.S.? This is one reason that our food supply chain is so fragile. And this is what AJ Richards is setting out to change. AJ is a combat veteran, an entrepreneur and the head of Sustenance Earth, Inc. He wants to help everyone understand the importance of knowing the provenance of their food and establishing food security.   As AJ puts it, it's time to "shake the hand that feeds us" by getting to know our local rancher. Going local upsets the conventional beef industry but it shores up your food security. You see, it's the beef industry centralization that is compounding issues in our national US food system...and that same system is negatively impacting our health and food sovereignty.   AJ highlights today some of the issues with the current system and how to opt out of it, for the sake of your health and food freedom). He also tells of a standoff that his family had with the Bureau of Land Management that was attempting to confiscate their land.   Visit AJ's website: feedthepeoplebythepeople.com - https://feedthepeoplebythepeople.com/ Find more resources on our website: westonaprice.org - http://westonaprice.org/#gsc.tab=0 Check out our sponsors: Real Milk - https://www.realmilk.com/ Paleo Valley - https://paleovalley.com/promos/wise-traditions-multi-product-page?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=podcast Optimal Carnivore - https://www.amazon.com/optimalcarnivore

Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, today answers all of these questions and more. She also gives an update on which states in the U.S. (nearly all, except for four) have legalized its sale. And she explains how raw milk is nature's most complete food (and a fragile one that should be treated with care).   Check out Sally's blog for more information: nourishingtraditions.com - https://nourishingtraditions.com/ Find raw milk near you in the U.S. at realmilk.com - https://www.realmilk.com/ See our website for more resources: westonaprice.org - http://westonaprice.org/ Visit our sponsors: Dr. Tom Cowan's New Biology Curriculum - https://drtomcowan.com/ Nutrition Therapy Institute - https://ntischool.com/wisetraditions/ and Optimal Carnivore - https://www.amazon.com/optimalcarnivore

Non-native electro-magnetic frequencies (EMFs). PFAs (forever chemicals in the air and food). Heavy metals. Mold. These are just some of the toxins in our environment that assail us. And that we need to get out of the body so that it can function optimally. Today's guest is Adam Parker, a detox expert and the host of the Your Ideal Day podcast.   He reviews simple steps to detox (including dry brushing and rebounding) and more intense protocols (like flushes, cleanses, and enemas). He goes over the use of castor oil, olive oil and lemon juice, dandelion root and chamomile as part of the detox process. In sum, he explains the how and the why behind detoxification and makes a strong case for its use, especially if you're feeling "stuck" with no explanation for your health concerns.   Visit Adam's website for more resources: youridealday.com - https://youridealday.com/ See our website for more podcast episodes and resources: westonaprice.org - https://www.westonaprice.org/#gsc.tab=0 Check out our sponsors: Baja Gold Salt - https://bajagoldsaltco.com/ Offally Good Cooking - https://offallygoodcooking.com/  Optimal Carnivore - https://www.amazon.com/optimalcarnivore

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. Vani Hari, known as the Food Babe, is a best-selling author and activist that is dedicated to uncovering what's in our food and how it's affecting us, so that we can be empowered in the supermarket, restaurant, and in our own kitchens, to nourish ourselves well. She covers the importance of avoiding food dyes, "natural flavorings," and refined sugars, as a starting place. She talks about the personal ramifications of going after the food industry and revealing its secrets...and why she remains undaunted. Lastly, she offers timely advice for feeding the family well and why, as far as she's concerned, the 80/20 "rule" (eating well for 80% of the time) doesn't cut it anymore.   Visit Vani's website and look for her latest book "Food Babe Family": foodbabe.com Register for our Wise Traditions conference: wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Pluck Organ Seasoning and Optimal Carnivore

 Most American lawns are lovely...but not exactly an efficient use of space. What if we made the most of the land, helping to turn it into a source of sustenance for our families and communities? We could use permacultural principles to understand the land and collaborate with current ecosystems to help bring about its full potential. So says guest Jim Gale of Food Forest Abundance. On today's episode, Jim talks about how to get started with small shifts: how to decide what to plant and where to get started exactly. He also covers the importance of protecting ourselves against food shortages through better land management. And how we might cross our own mental barriers to start to explore this somewhat alternative lifestyle.   Visit Jim's website: foodforestabundance.com Register for our Wise Traditions conference at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Paleo Valley and Optimal Carnivore  

Cows have gotten a bad rap in recent years. Their flatulence and burps have been cited as contributing to climate change. But what if that's not the case? What if, in fact, cows are actually helping save the planet? Judith D. Schwartz is a journalist and the author of “Cows Save the Planet.” Today, she sheds light on how much we need for cows for healthy soil. She describes the diversity of such soil (that the cows enrich) in detail, highlighting the soil's micro and macro diversity (including "mega fauna" such as earthworms)! She reminds us that the very minerals we seek for our children (often in the form of multivitamins) are found in the soil. Judith points out the critical role cattle play in cultivating such richness and how it benefits the world both today and tomorrow.

We've been told to recycle, repurpose, and reuse to reduce waste. But do our efforts make any difference? Is there a way to reduce the amount we generate, in the first place? And why does it matter?   Jill Winger is the author of “Old Fashioned on Purpose” and the host of the podcast by the same name. Today, she offers insights about how to reduce our waste. She gives both the why and the how. She discusses the problem waste creates in our own homes and for the planet. She notes, for example, that 40% of the oceans are now covered in plastic!

What could possibly persuade someone to go from vegetarian to butcher? Kate Kavanaugh tells what shifted in her that led to this profound lifestyle and dietary change. Kate is indeed a butcher, and also a farmer, and the host of the Mind, Body, and Soil podcast, among other initiatives. Today, she shares insights on our place in the complex web of nourishment.

Price Foundation, covers today how to promote healthy hormonal function, covering material found in the Wise Traditions journal from the winter of 2022.

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? What if you disagree with where it's taking you? How do you resist? The late Ronnie Cummins explains how to buck the system on multiple levels. 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 shared his take on the state of world affairs, the importance of local, organic food, and how to live healthily in this contaminated world. Ronnie wasn't just referring to toxins in our physical environment, but also in overreaching government, pharmaceutical companies, and leaders who collaborate to further their own interests in place of the interests of humanity. Ronnie offers insights today on how to buck the system and escape the mainstream ideological paradigm. Visit the Organic Consumers Association Spread the word! Share our Wise Traditions podcast link.

Brain fog. Low energy. Digestive issues. Anxiety. All of the above could simply be symptoms of a lack of natural sunlight. Carrie Bennett of the Quantum Body Collective today covers the many benefits of sunlight: how it can help heal the gut, sync our circadian rhythm, and set off a cascade of proper hormonal function for improved health and mood.   Carrie gets specific about the hormones that get “turned on” by the sunlight and their effect on the mood and body. She also explains how those who are fair-skinned or sun-shy can approach getting more sunshine, and she even has advice for those whose eyes are sensitive to its light and feel like they need to wear sunglasses all the time.   Visit Carrie's website: carriebwellness.com Register for our Wise Traditions conference in October 2023 Check out our sponsors: Pluck and Optimal Carnivore

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. A new paradigm may be needed for true healing to occur. 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. He reminds us that we ARE the earth and the soil, in many respects, and that we need to heal in ways we may not have previously understood. Returning to our roots may lead us down a new path, that has no label. He reframes the conversation about farming and healing in today's discussion. Daniel also shares insights about his own health story and how he went from physically broken to restoring his natural balance and renewing his health.

Question everything. This is the challenge of Dr. Tom Cowan, author, podcaster, and proponent of the "new biology." Tom suggests that our current understanding of modern biology is based on a number of assumptions that we need to reexamine. Today, Tom busts myths (and perceptions) related to the covid virus (and viruses, in general), spike proteins, and the idea that humans can be genetically modified. He calls into question the notion that cell membranes have receptors, the concept of the human "virome," the idea of specific antibodies, and even our understanding of the body's immune system! Tom points out fallacious thinking in scientific circles. And he makes a strong case for a need to re-think viruses, contagion, and many other aspects of modern biology.  Visit Tom's website: drtomcowan.com Check out "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon Morell in Spanish ("Tradiciones Culinarias") Check out our sponsors: Paleo Valley and Optimal Carnivore

So many innocent-looking "healthy" foods (even so-called "superfoods") could be actually compromising your health! Carrots, beets, spinach, and cashews, for example. These plant foods, and others, contain oxalates that trigger inflammation, steal minerals, destroy connective tissue and lead to a host of problems like kidney stones, arthritis, joint pain, osteoporosis, and oxidative stress in the body. Sally Norton, the author of Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick--and How to Get Better today reviews which foods to avoid (including potatoes, figs, nuts, some berries, and, yes, even chocolate) and what to do if you have symptoms of oxalate overload.   Visit Sally's website: sallyknorton.com Join the WAPF email list.
