Corey and I were thrilled to interview the president and co-founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, Sally Fallon Morell. In this episode we delve into the history of when Sally first read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, her inspiration for writing Nourishing Traditions, and then how she started the foundation. We touch on how she fed her kids growing up, breastfeeding, homemade baby formula, and feeding teens. Sally also shared snippets of her life living in France with her young family and how she learned to cook. You won’t want to miss this episode!

In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Deborah MacNamara, author of the book: Nourished–
She talks about how food has been divorced from connection and it was never meant to be this way. In today’s society, we are worrying too much about WHAT to feed our families and forgetting to focus on our relationships. If you are a mama struggling with obsessing over what to feed your child, this episode is a breath of fresh air and will empower you to feel confident in your choices and know that your relationship with your child supersedes the food they are eating. This episode is a must-list and we think the combination of Mary Ruddick’s episode and this one complement each other perfectly.

Corey and I are thrilled to be back in 2024 with more educational, interesting, and fun episodes for you! We wanted to start the year off by learning all about herbalism. Lisa Masé is a holistic nutritionist, herbalist, and parent homesteading on the traditional lands of the Abenaki people in Vermont. In this episode, we discuss the basics of herbalism, growing herbs, the differences between tinctures, salves, and tonics, the best herbs to have in your medicine cabinet, and much more. Grab a pen and paper because you will want to write down everything Lisa says, especially towards the end of the episode! Our interest grew as the conversation progressed, and we plan to have her on for part 2.

Full of encouragement and backed up with science, Sarah helps us revive the art of reading aloud for education, connection, relationships, and nourishment.
