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.

After so many years of trying to navigate through “cholesterol is bad”, eat more plants, eat more raw vegetables, carnivore and other movements, I finally found the right place to get educated about what is good for us and what isn’t. My only regret is I wish I had these resources 20 years ago when I was pregnant and about to start raising kids. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You, Hilda and Weston A. Price foundation for your work and education you provide to the public.

My naturopathic doctor pointed me to the Weston A. Price Foundation in 2020, and I’m so glad she did! I was uncertain of what to think of the “pandemic,” but this podcast helped me develop a well-informed opinion on vaccines, masks, germ theory, and medical mandates. Not only that, but it helped me clarify what I was looking for in nutrition schools and I found one that teaches from WAPF principles (after 17 years of wondering why conventional nutrition seemed wrong). It has been such a blessing in my life to have this knowledge and to feel empowered rather than simply scared into taking drugs and getting surgeries. I’ve been listening to the podcast every week for over five years. I am also lucky to have attended the Wise Traditions conference in SLC and will probably be a lifelong supporter of the foundation.
I am frustrated to see the closed-minded reviewers who listened to only one episode and left a negative review from a knee-jerk reaction, but those are far outnumbered by people who are willing to see past the mainstream dogma. I don’t believe everything I hear on Wise Traditions, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good show! It’s actually nice to hear different perspectives, even if it means challenging what I believe.

As a young mom to little kids, becoming a member of the WAPF has been the best decision I’ve made for my family this year. Between Sally’s Nourishing Traditions book and this podcast, I feel like I have an abundance of quality information that I can go to as I raise my family. When I first discovered this podcast a few months ago, I binged every episode. I look forward to listening to all the topics that Hilda covers — they are always wonderful and eye opening.

I’ve been a member of the Western a Price foundation for quite a few years and I’m so grateful for this podcast! It seems like the subject matter in each podcast is exactly what I need to hear. It’s so refreshing to hear the truth about health, especially when you hear a lot of misinformation in other places these days. Keep up the awesome work. 💕

Have been an avid listener for the past few years but the recent switch to using AI generated images for the episode covers is extremely disheartening. I’m a graphic designer and AI steals work from hard working artists, not to mention it’s terrible for our environment - the same environment we rely on for life giving resources. Do some more research, Wise Traditions.
PemberleyBeth · Jun 2026
I am an avid listener to the podcast as well as a Weston A. Price foundation follower/subscriber. My family and I value the information and research that Weston A. Price foundation provides. I understand that we may not agree with everything presented, but we listen with an open mind. However, in this particular episode I noticed the guest, Christina Eck, continued to refer to the postpartum mother as “the birth parent” or just “parent”. That kind of blatant disregard to womanhood is unfortunately intolerable to me. As a woman and mother I take that to heart. I am not a birthing parent. I am a mother. A woman. I continued to listen to the episode and I agree with the overall information provided regarding postpartum care, but I could not get past the use of “inclusive” language. I looked further into the guest and found that in her practice she uses inclusive language. Using inclusive language when it comes to menarche, pregnancy, birth, postpartum or even menopause devalues and undermines womanhood and the experiences that are sacred to women. Sadly this episode left a sour taste in my mouth. I feel that if we tolerate inclusive language we are guilty by association in this war against our children. Our children deserve to be protected and supported. Wise Traditions should have researched their guest a little more before recording or maybe should have left this episode out. It reads as if they support the inclusive language. I’m a little disappointed.
Also I agree with another rating regarding the new AI generated thumbnails. I do not like them and feel as if they do not align with the overall message and morals of the Weston A. Price foundation.
