058: Living the Wise Traditions Way - My Personal and Professional Journey
<p>In this solo‑recorded episode, I walk listeners through the full set of questions I fielded on a recent discussion panel at the <strong>Nourish to Flourish Conference</strong>. Using the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) principles as a backbone, I share how those ideas reshaped my own health, my family’s daily habits, and the way I work with clients. </p><ol><li><p><strong>Why I First Turned to Weston A. Price</strong><br>The “aha” moment – personal health clues, professional curiosity, and the first traditional food that sparked change (yes, liver and bone broth!).</p></li><li><p><strong>How the Principles Shifted My View of Health</strong><br>Beyond the clinic – changes in shopping, cooking, family meals, and daily rituals that now feel non‑negotiable.</p></li><li><p><strong>Nutrient‑Dense Foods in My Kitchen</strong><br>Non‑negotiables: raw dairy, organ meats, fermented condiments, unrefined salt, and gelatinous bone broth. A quick tour of my fridge/pantry for listeners who imagine peeking inside.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Single WAPF Principle That Transforms Clients</strong><br>Why it matters: Emphasizing nutrient‑dense whole foods (organ meats, eggs, raw dairy, shellfish) consistently produces the biggest clinical improvements.</p></li><li><p><strong>Connecting Nourishment to My Discipline</strong><br>Gut, oral, and mental health: Early signals I spot (teeth alignment, digestion patterns, mood stability) that reveal a shift toward true nourishment before symptoms appear.</p></li><li><p><strong>Visible Signs of a Nourished Body</strong><br>What surprises people: stronger teeth, wider dental arches, steadier mood, better digestion—often within weeks.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mindset, Stress & Emotional Nutrition</strong><br>How stress blocks intake and why slowing down, mindful eating, and community support are essential for the body to receive nutrients.</p></li><li><p><strong>Modern Challenges for Families</strong><br>Convenience vs. tradition: The biggest hurdles (time pressure, fear of “going extreme,” perfectionism) and the mental baggage families carry.</p></li><li><p><strong>Why Community & Local Chapters Matter</strong><br>Grassroots power: How local WAPF chapters turn theory into lived experience, create sustainable food networks, and give families a sense of belonging.</p></li><li><p><strong>Transformations Seen When Families Join a Chapter</strong><br>Real‑world outcomes: Stories of families who moved from fragmented meals to cohesive, nutrient‑rich plates and reported increased vitality and cohesion.</p></li><li><p><strong>One Simple First Step for Listeners</strong><br>Start small: Add a daily serving of a traditional, nutrient‑dense food (e.g., a spoonful of raw butter, a cup of bone broth, or a handful of fermented veggies).</p></li><li><p><strong>Getting Involved Locally</strong><br>How to act: Find a nearby WAPF chapter, attend a workshop, volunteer at a community farm, or simply start a “traditional food night” with friends.</p></li></ol>

057: The New US Dietary Guidelines
<p>This is a solo recording where Cody discusses the new principles taught in the US Dietary Guidelines and his opinions on them. He doesn't agree with it all!</p><p><br></p><p>Key points:</p><p>Recommendation on saturated fat remains at 10% of daily calories</p><p>Emphasis on real food. That means food that comes from a farm, not a factory.</p><p>Eat protein, even red meat.</p><p>Eat fat, even tallow and butter.</p><p>LIMIT carbohydrates, especially grains and sugars.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information, see <a href="realfood.gov" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">realfood.gov</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Want a jumpstart on eating real, whole foods?
