Description
The Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health, based on ancient 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. Price put it. We thrive when we live as our ancestors did, and we can look to the past for clues on how to go about it.
This show, sponsored by the Weston A. Price Foundation, is an invitation to follow ancient health ways and to embrace alternative healing modalities to live our best lives. Our host, Hilda Labrada Gore, known as Holistic Hilda, 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 new (ancient) way to heal, grow, and live a happy life, brimming with vitality.

If you feel worn out and wrecked, like your life and hormones are out of balance, you are not alone. It's a symptom a lot of us deal with, a common result of our 24/7 busy lifestyle. The good news is that you aren't stuck! There are some simple ways to get your life (and hormones) back on track! Dr. Tami Meraglia, author of "The Hormone Secret," offers insights on just that: how to regain hormonal balance and health. She discusses how women can naturally support their bodies before, during, and after menopause. She talks about testosterone (yes, women need this, too), thyroid health, and what inhibits its proper function. Finally, she reminds us that lab results on paper don't tell the whole story.

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.

What did your childhood diet look like? Does it seem impossible to overcome? Take heart! Phoenix Be of Simply Grassfed had a shaky start too, filled with Lucky Charms and TV dinners. Today, he is a farmer, health and relationship coach, and an advocate for optimal health through a natural lifestyle and organic foods. In this episode, Phoenix shares his journey and emphasizes the importance of viewing food as our medicine. He discusses deceptive "greenwashing" labels that mislead the public into believing certain products are healthy and natural. Phoenix also reveals surprising processes that some organic meats undergo and explains why vaccines for both humans and cattle are, in his view, problematic.

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.

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. Price Foundation email list.

The doctor looks you in the eye and says, "You have high cholesterol." Now what? Statins are not the answer! Not by a long shot! Dr. Tom Cowan of the New Biology Clinic reminds us that there is no correlation between high cholesterol and heart attacks, heart disease, or early death. He sheds light on the HDL/LDL ratio questions and suggests that cholesterol tests, in the first place, do not provide helpful data in any case. Find out what Tom recommends instead to maintain a healthy heart and a healthy lifestyle.

What's the truth about cholesterol? Are we more prone to heart attacks if we have high cholesterol? Does cholesterol and saturated fat clog arteries? Are cholesterol-lowering drugs helpful or doing more harm than good? Sally Fallon Morell, President of the Weston A. Price Foundation, today dispels myths and misconceptions related to cholesterol. She explains the vital role cholesterol plays in the body for the brain and nervous system. She goes over its antioxidant functions and its role in fighting infections and toxins. She even covers what may be leading to heart disease, since cholesterol is not to blame.

Do you have to be a good planner to start a garden? How can you avoid pests if you don't use pesticides? Are “companion” plants a thing? What plants are best near others? These are some of the questions addressed by Jill Ragan of Whispering Willow Farm in this week's podcast episode. Jill is the author of “The Tiny but Mighty Farm,” and she has lots of ideas for how to get started gardening. She made plenty of mistakes that she openly shares so that we can learn from her and avoid duplicating the bad stuff. She offers ideas for both the beginner gardener and the one with more experience under their belt. Since Jill is a “market gardener,” she knows how to scale up and what works for gardeners with a lot of lands and those with very little. She covers the importance of practical space usage, why string trellises work better than plastic cages, and more. Visit Jill's website: thewhisperingwillowfarm.com Join 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.

LED lightbulbs. Flickering fluorescent bulbs. Laptops, iPads, smartphones. What is artificial light doing to our health? And can we mimic ancestral, healing light (like the light of fire or the sun) in our homes to mitigate the damage and/or boost our mood and wellbeing? Brian Hoyer of Shielded Healing is an expert on EMFs and the effect of light on our health. Today he gets specific about the damage our modern light can do to our health: from causing eye issues, to weight gain, to headache to lowering energy and melatonin production (needed for better sleep and improved digestion). He also goes over what we can do to improve our "light hygiene" at home to foster better health, improved energy levels and a more positive mood.

More and more people are discovering and enjoying raw milk. But it's still not legal in some states. And regulatory hoops hinder the small rancher and farmer when it comes to processing animals and selling their products to the consumer. How can we remove impediments so that consumers can buy the food they want from the provider they choose? And make it easier for providers to sell their products to said consumers without interference? In short, how do we defend our food freedom in the U.S.? Congressman Thomas Massie, the U.S. representative for Kentucky’s 4th district, addresses these questions on today's BONUS podcast episode. He offers insights on the raw milk landscape. And he also goes over the PRIME act, why he is backing it and what we can do to support this act’s inclusion in the Farm Bill through three simple phone calls (to our 2 senators and 1 representative) here in the United States.

Are you playing health whack-a-mole? Heavy metals and mineral deficiency may be playing a key role in your health issues. Dr. Leland Stillman today invites us to take a look at what we have too much of in our bodies (like aluminum, lead, and copper) and what we're missing (like zinc). He also challenges us to understand how deep-seated the "root cause" of illness can be. And why it's not a great idea to randomly pop supplements at high doses for a long period of time.

Normal boy behavior is too often pathologized and drugged and medicated. When our children "act out" or "act up," it doesn't mean that they have poor behavior, a learning disability or a mental illness. It actually indicates that they are in distress and it's up to us as adults to investigate the cause of the behavior and to attempt to meet their needs. Laurie A. Couture is a licensed mental health counselor and the author of "Instead of Medicating and Punishing" and "Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons." Today, she addresses the crisis our boys (and all of our children, really) are facing when it comes to physical and mental health. Laurie offers sound advice for supporting and nurturing our children through appropriate diet and attention. She makes specific recommendations for what foods to avoid to protect their health (like refined sugar and soy) and how to help them deal with trauma (like using protocols like EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).

When you look up, you may see streaks or stripes in the sky that don't seem to dissipate, like contrails of the past. If you're concerned about what's happening in our sky and how it's impacting humanity, you're not alone. Matt Landman created the documentary "Frankenskies" to draw attention to weather modification, aerosol injections, and geoengineering programs that are affecting the health of the land, sky, and the people on this planet. On today's podcast, Matt goes over what first drew his attention to the matter and why he is so passionate about informing people about the spraying that has been ongoing and especially prevalent since 1992. He covers which chemicals are being sprayed and what they do to us. And he also explains why so many people deny this ongoing program and agenda that is jeopardizing our health and autonomy. Finally, he challenges us to begin taking our health into our own hands with simple steps that take us from consumerism to activism.

How can we be sure viruses don’t exist? What about the “patient 0” who transmits diseases at the start of nearly every pandemic? And do germs and microorganisms exist? What’s making us sick, if not these things? Dr. Samantha and Dr. Mark Bailey are the authors of “The Final Pandemic” and today they answer frequently asked questions about viruses. They explain how the medical community has been unable to prove that viruses make us sick or that they even exist in the first place. They also answer questions about the use of antibiotics and about whether germ theory and terrain theory can possibly coexist.

Animals, climate change, the Wuhan lab, and germs and viruses. All of these are convenient scapegoats when looking to blame something/anything for sickness and disease. But what if they're not to blame? Is it possible that the mainstream narratives are leading us in the wrong direction? Drs. Samantha and Mark Bailey are physicians and the authors of "The Final Pandemic". In their book and in today's interview, they point to flaws in our understanding of viruses and disease. Sam and Mark once held the mainstream beliefs about sickness and viruses. After all, they were educated about germs and diseases in medical school. But the events of 2020 led them to do a deep dive into virology, where they found no proof that viruses exist or that they cause illness. They then scoured the history books and found a pandemic playbook of sorts that had been used repeatedly throughout history, to "create pandemics" and then present the so-called solution of "necessary" vaccines to eradicate them. Their findings are startling and may lead many to question the virus narrative, as they have.

Do you struggle with bloating, diarrhea, anxiety, acne, and even depression? These can be symptoms of gut issues, along with more well-known conditions like GERDs, Crohn's, Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Dr. Loredana Shapson of LifeMod Solutions goes over the obvious and not-so-obvious symptoms that can let us know that something is amiss with our guts. She dives into causes--that can range from pesticides in our food supply to chlorine in our water--and offers simple tips for long-term and immediate relief that she uses with her clients. She also points out which medications to avoid because of the havoc they create in the gut and what foods to include in the diet that are especially gut health-friendly. Finally, Loredana reminds us that our immune system, hormones, metabolic health and brain health all improve when we address our gut issues.

The takeover of small, organic agribusiness is a very interesting and important topic, but the lobbying for alternative medicine and homeopathy probably put off any intelligent people from the podcast
Great conversation
please know, God IS the "big bang"... no big bang created a car, or a blade of grass, it a sewing machine. all have a designer/creator. God is the Creator of the universe. Not a big bang theory. but there was a big bang, and God caused it🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️✝️
wow! she has zero standing to address this issue. please get a psychologist on to address this important issue.
Hi. Very interesting podcast. Just a quick question. Where I live there is a mountain range to my East, so I don't actually see the sun rising on the horizon so to speak. How do I factor this in to getting the first rays of sunlight and also the 10° time. Or is it not necessary to actually see the sun, but just be in the light of it?
love this buttery episode!
That was really interesting to hear about the eagle hunting and some of the traditions there! Good reminder at the end to get out and watch the sunrise and get outside for the first hour in the morning!
He lost me when he said that we evolved from monkeys.
you are so disingenuous
Thanks! Enjoy this traditional wisdom!
"A lot of people don't realize that 'billions of years ago there was no oxygen'"... That's where I couldn't keep on. I enjoy learning and hearing new ideas but not when concepts are based on a lie. Still amazing to me how so many people deny God's creation and the Bible!
This is so good! Thanks for sharing this practical wisdom
did wapf really just run an ad for AHA and New York life?
this is a GREAT episode!!! superb!
thank you for speaking up!
Claro queremos más audios y no ticias en español sobre temas interesantes como la salud.
