526: The Damaging (& Insidious) Effects of Glyphosate and What Bayer is Doing to Avoid Liability with Kelly Ryerson
Glyphosate is a toxic carcinogenic chemical found in RoundUp, a weedkiller that is routinely sprayed on our lawns and crops. But the bad news doesn't stop there! It is making its way into the food we eat, the air, and the water. Worse still, the maker of glyphosate, Bayer, is working on passing liability shield legislation so that they cannot be sued for the way the poison in their products is affecting the nation! Today, Kelly Ryerson, known as the Glyphosate Girl, explains why she is working so hard to inform the public about the dangers of glyphosate and the company that wants to protect itself from the fallout of the harm it is causing. Kelly goes over the legislation that is being considered in various states across the country. She also explains why glyphosate is so damaging, how it personally affected her own life, and how a General Mills whistleblower helped her to connect the dots about it all. Update: The liability legislation being considered in North Dakota, at the time of the interview, has since been passed in that state.

525: How To Find The Best Olive Oil And Why It’s Good For Your Gut, Brain, And Heart With Bianti Danaj

"If we don’t understand how nature works, we’re just guessing at trying to fix things." Adam and Josh Bigelsen provide insight today in how to listen to the body's messages, in order to address them.

Today the Bigelsen brothers, from the Bigelsen Academy, offer insights on what the body is telling us, along with uncovering the emotional ties behind cancer, rashes and hives, asthma and mononucleosis, for example. This is a power-packed episode building on Wise Traditions podcast episode 523, which was the beginning of this conversation.

523: Holographic Blood: The Surprising Way Your Blood Communicates The State Of Your Health With Adam And Josh Bigelsen
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.

522: It’s Not Just Food that is Ultra Processed: What You Don’t Know about The Water You’re Drinking! With Isabel Friend
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 Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health based on traditional 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. Weston Price put it. We can learn from healthy societies of the past how to live healthier lives now.
The Foundation's podcast is an invitation to follow traditional food and health ways to live our best lives. Our host and producer, Hilda Labrada Gore, 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 way to heal, grow and live a more vibrant and happy life.
