The Truth About Raw Milk, Fats, and Fertility | Sally Fallon

Listen Later

232: In this episode, I sit down with Sally Fallon Morrell, founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and author of Nourishing Traditions. Her book was required reading in my master’s nutrition program, so this was a special conversation!


We dive into ancestral nutrition, covering raw milk, healthy fats, and real foods that support fertility and overall health. As I navigate my own fertility journey, I was eager to learn what foods best promote conception and a healthy pregnancy.


We also discuss the baby formula vs. breastfeeding debate with a compassionate and informed approach. Sally shares advice for moms who struggle with breastfeeding and natural alternatives for those who need them.


Topics Covered:


  • Why raw milk is beneficial
  • The truth about healthy fats & butter
  • Diet’s role in fertility & pregnancy
  • Baby formula vs. breastfeeding
  • Regenerative farming & traditional food prep
