Getting Back to Food Fundamentals with the Weston A. Price Foundation
In this podcast, we bring in the entire Real Vitality Team to discuss the 11 dietary principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Brion and Courtney recently attended the Weston A. Price annual conference in Orlando, and are inspired to get back to the fundamentals of traditional eating.
The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting traditional diets and wise traditions in food, farming, and the healing arts. Named after Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist who traveled extensively to study the diets of isolated indigenous populations, the foundation advocates for a return to nutrient-dense foods, natural fats, and time-honored food preparation methods. These principles stand in stark contrast to many aspects of modern dietary advice, and they align surprisingly well with the holistic philosophy of homeopathy.
As Elizabeth explains, homeopathy and Wise Traditions share the commonality of looking to nature to inspire healthy living. Both homeopathy and traditional eating encourage us to empower the body’s innate wisdom. Both emphasize that healing is most effective when working with fundamental principles rather than overriding them. When our bodies are nourished, our vital force is strong—which is a goal of both homeopathy and Wise Traditions.
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a huge supporter of homeopathy and homeoprophylaxis. Cilla wrote several articles for their Wise Traditions Journal, including The History of Homeopathy in Epidemics.
Join us as we all share how we were introduced to the principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation, what we’ve struggled with, what has made it easier, and our goals for engaging with this nourishing diet going forward.
