We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found through “improving” nature. On the contrary, “life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed,” as Dr. Price put it. We thrive when we live as our ancestors did, and we can look to the past for clues on how to go about it. This show, sponsored by the Weston A. Price Foundation, is an invitation to follow ancient health ways and to embrace alternative healing modalities to live our best lives. Our host, Hilda Labrada Gore, known as Holistic Hilda, interviews experts on a wide variety of topics—ranging from nutrient-dense foods to improving mental health to homesteading to detoxing to healing emotional trauma to the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Every episode offers the listener a new (ancient) way to heal, grow, and live a happy life, brimming with vitality.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T20:18:11.149134+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-7013628"},"episode":{"title":"586: A Return To Traditional Herbalism With Kate Tietje","slug":"586-a-return-to-traditional-herbalism-with-kate-tietje","published_at":"2026-07-06T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-7013628/586-a-return-to-traditional-herbalism-with-kate-tietje","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-7013628","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/586-a-return-to-traditional-herbalism-with-kate-tietje--72837156","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72837156/audio_final_wt_586_kate_tietje.mp3","summary":"Kate Tietje believes plants carry wisdom—and in this episode, she explains why herbal remedies have remained trusted tools for healing across generations. Kate is the founder of Earthley Wellness, a longtime herbalist, homeschool mother of six, and author of the book Natural Remedies for Kids. In this conversation, Kate shares how her journey into herbalism began when conventional medicine failed to help her young daughter's chronic health issues. What started as a personal search for answers eventually grew into one of the most trusted herbal wellness companies in the country. Kate explains the philosophy behind herbalism, why whole plants work differently than pharmaceutical drugs, and how herbs can support the body rather than simply suppress symptoms. We also discuss medical freedom, concerns about toxic ingredients in modern food and personal care products, and why she believes families should have greater access to natural healing modalities. Throughout the episode, Kate offers practical guidance for beginners—covering the best starter herbs to keep at home, how to safely forage and grow medicinal plants, and simple remedies anyone can make in their own kitchen. She also shares herbal suggestions for stress, sleep, digestion, postpartum recovery, immune support, and common childhood ailments. If you've ever felt curious about herbal medicine but didn't know where to begin, this episode is a warm and practical introduction to the wisdom of plants and the traditions that have supported human health for generations.
