Wise Traditions

We are essentially aquatic terrain. From before we were born till the day we die, we are surrounded by and filled with water! Isabel Friend, a water expert and educator, explains why this matters. She goes over the importance of water in ancient cultures and the science behind its many benefits for us (and its amazing properties)!

The U.S. dietary guidelines are considered the "gold standard" of nutrition recommendations. But they are failing us. Americans are unhealthier (and more obese) than ever before. Nina Teicholz, the author of "The Big Fat Surprise", explains why they are faulty and based on poor science.

She goes over how the guidelines were chosen, its ties to the American Heart Association, Proctor & Gamble and Crisco. She explains why the emphasis on grains (even refined grains) and low-fat choices have led to sickness. And why saturated fat and sodium consumption are currently "capped" but shouldn't be. Finally, she shares her vision for how the guidelines could be reformed, based on sound science, for improved health outcomes for all Americans.

What dental care practices are helpful and which are overly hyped? Is it a good idea to use oral exercise devices? What about tongue scraping and flossing? What should we look out for when it comes to toothpaste and mouthwash? Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, author of It's All in Your Mouth, highlights what is best for strong healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. He separates fact from fiction. He goes over how to cultivate a healthy oral microbiome and he also addresses the issue of "leaky gums". And he leaves us with three key questions to ask ourselves to help determine if our health concerns could be related to oral health.

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.

To make America healthy again is going to take more than a political movement! Today, Sally Fallon Morell, the president and founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, weighs in on the campaign platform that was part of the Republican platform in the 2024 elections.

Sally tells what she believes was behind the movement, what it is overlooking, and what she hopes it will accomplish. She reminds us of the benefits of eating the wise traditions way. And how making vaccines voluntary could radically change the health landscape of our country and our children. She also addresses concerns about MSG in our food supply and the financial interests behind vaccinations, among other important topics. Finally, she suggests that the best way to make America healthy again is to improve the choices we make in our own home.

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.

There are currently techniques being implemented to psychologically manipulate, persuade, and control the public. We're not just referencing marketing firms trying to get you to purchase something. From Hollywood movies to government programs, there are subtle systems and approaches in place to alter behavior...and negatively impact the health and autonomy of the populace.

Jason Christoff runs an international psychological reprogramming institute and in this episode he explains what's going on and how it can sabotage our independence and critical thinking without our even realizing it. Some techniques have been used for centuries and can shift us, for example, from a beta brain wave (thinking) state to an alpha brain wave (trance) state, making us susceptible to suggestion and more compliant. Jason also goes over what toxins in our environment "dumb us down" in effect, also making us possible pawns to powers that desire to control us.
