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":"580: Pulling Back The Veil On Chronic Illness with Dr. Sina McCullough","slug":"580-pulling-back-the-veil-on-chronic-illness-with-dr-sina-mccullough","published_at":"2026-05-25T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956/580-pulling-back-the-veil-on-chronic-illness-with-dr-sina-mccullough","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956","url":"https://www.westonaprice.org/podcast/pulling-back-the-veil-on-chronic-illness-with-dr-sina-mccullough","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisetraditions/Audio_-_FINAL_-_WT_580_Dr._Sina_McCullough.mp3?dest-id=323969","summary":"In this powerful first conversation, Dr. Sina McCullough shares how she went from a vibrant, athletic life to being so sick she could no longer stand, eat, or care for herself—and how she found her way back. Despite her PhD in nutrition, Sina spent years searching for answers within the medical system, only to be told her symptoms were \"all in her head.\" At her lowest point, she chose a different path—one that led her to uncover hidden toxicities, nutrient deficiencies, and overlooked food sensitivities that were keeping her body from healing. In this episode, she introduces the concept of \"The Veil\"—the unseen trust we place in our food system—and challenges the idea that chronic illness is something we must simply manage. Instead, she offers a powerful reframe: the body is designed to heal when we remove what harms it and restore what's missing. We also explore why diets often fail, the difference between remission and true healing, and the critical role of emotional and spiritual stress in long-term health. Sina's message is both sobering and hopeful: healing is possible—and it begins with seeing clearly. Stay tuned for Part 2.
