Jan 13, 2026
Sally Fallon Morell, founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and author of Nourishing Traditions, discusses how modern nutrition advice often misleads people. She argues that traditional diets rich in animal foods are essential for health. Sally warns against protein powders and industrial seed oils while advocating for raw dairy and fermented foods. She highlights the importance of proper food preparation to enhance nutrient absorption and emphasizes the necessity of balancing vitamins A, D, and K2. Additionally, she asserts that plant-only diets can be detrimental to long-term health.

Episode notes
Argentine One-Pot Whole-Animal Cooking
- Sally shares an Argentine childhood diet example: meat, bones, organs, and raw milk cooked together in one pot.
- That pattern delivered organ meats, fats, broth, and longevity in her friend who is healthy at 80.
Keep Enough Carbs For Thyroid Health
- Don't pursue strict ketogenic diets long-term if you feel dizzy or unwell; many people need carbs for energy and thyroid function.
- Aim for at least ~50g carbs daily to support thyroid health and metabolism.
Choose Food-Based A, D, K2 Sources
- Prefer cod liver oil and K2-rich foods (butter, poultry liver, egg yolks) over isolated synthetic vitamin D supplements.
- Take small food-based amounts (a teaspoon cod liver oil, modest desiccated liver) rather than high-dose isolated vitamins.
