Price Foundation","episode_count":591,"summary":"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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T20:21:13.578857+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956"},"episode":{"title":"563: Placenta, Moon Parties, and Childbirth Your Way With Eyla Cuenca","slug":"563-placenta-moon-parties-and-childbirth-your-way-with-eyla-cuenca","published_at":"2026-01-26T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956/563-placenta-moon-parties-and-childbirth-your-way-with-eyla-cuenca","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956","url":"https://www.westonaprice.org/podcast/placenta-moon-parties-and-childbirth-your-way-with-eyla-cuenca","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisetraditions/Audio_-_FINAL_-_WT_563_Eyla_Cuenca.mp3?dest-id=323969","summary":"Eating placenta is a postpartum tradition in many cultures around the world. A young woman's first period is celebrated with ritual. Postpartum healing is supported by the community. What time-tested traditions related to all of the above are we overlooking in our modern age? How can we embrace them once again? Eyla Cuenca is a childbirth educator and doula with over a decade of experience supporting women through the transformational threshold of birth and postpartum. Today, she sheds light on how women were supported traditionally through childbirth and postpartum. She gets specific about how to avoid interventions during labor, how to celebrate our daughters' maturation process, and how to approach a vaginal birth after a cesarean. She brings us back to the body's innate intelligence, our personal sovereignty, and deepest inner knowing.
