604: “Heal Your Home, Improve Your Health” With Dr. Leland Stillman
About this podcast
The Weston A. Price Foundation’s Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health grounded in traditional wisdom. We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found by “improving” nature. On the contrary, “Life in all its fullness is Mother Nature obeyed,” as Dr. Weston A. Price observed. By learning from healthy societies of the past, we can rediscover how to live healthier lives today.
The Foundation’s podcast is an invitation to explore traditional food and healthways that support true vitality. Host and producer Kendall Nelson interviews leading experts on a wide range of topics—ranging from preparing traditional foods, nutrient-dense diets, organ meats and animal fats to grass-based farming, natural detoxification, the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Each episode offers listeners practical insights and timeless wisdom to help them heal, grow and live more vibrant, fulfilling lives.
