Sally Fallon Morell
Nourishing Traditional Diets – Part I and II
Animal fats, properly prepared whole grains, enzyme-enriched foods and nourishing bone broths kept our ancestors healthy. Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions, explains why these are vital factors for maintaining good health today. Beginning with a presentation of Dr. Weston Price’s unforgettable photographs of healthy traditional peoples, Ms. Fallon Morell explains the underlying factors in a variety of traditional diets, which conferred beauty, strength and complete freedom from disease on so-called primitive populations. Then she presents a step-by-step plan to put nourishing traditional foods—foods that your family will actually eat—back into your diet, including easy breakfast cereals, soups, sauces, snack foods, high-enzyme condiments and soft drinks that are actually good for you.
My Own Health Secrets
We all need to tailor our diet to our needs, while still incorporating the eleven WAPF principles of healthy diets. Find out how Sally tweaks her diet to fit her own health challenges.
Healthy Pregnancy
In addition to attention to diet, pregnant women confront many challenges to the health of the baby in the womb, and they face many important decisions. Modern medicine promotes drugs and vaccinations for pregnant women, pre-natal screening, antibiotics for staph aureus and a host of other interventions that could jeopardize the optimal development of the infant. This talk presents the many challenges to the pregnant women with an emphasis on good nutrition for protection against the dangers that she cannot avoid.

Kaayla Daniel
Science of Broth
A South American proverb claims “Good broth will resurrect the dead.” While that’s clearly an exaggeration, chicken soup has enjoyed a reputation as “Jewish penicillin” and bone broths are served to convalescents all over the world. In this presentation, Dr. Kaayla Daniel, vice president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, will review the science that supports consuming bone broth for healthy bones, joints, skin, digestion, immunity and emotional stability. She will discuss 19th and early 20th century studies on gelatin, as well as more recent investigations into the “conditionally essential” amino acids proline, glycine and glutamine and “the essential sugars” N-Acetylglucosamine and N-Acetylgalactosamine,. Finally, she will report on Dr. John F. Prudden’s clinical trials healing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, psoriasis, Crohn’s, wound healing and even cancer with cartilage. In short, much science supports the ancestral wisdom of consuming bone broth.
Empowering Fertility with Nutrient Dense Foods
One in seven American couples now suffers from infertility. Within the next decade, that figure is predicted to move up to one in three. Menstrual distress, mood disorders and depressed libidos add to the heartbreak. Although Father Technology has waged war on infertility using drugs, hormones and surgery, Mother Nature offers instead a cornucopia of sacred foods, herbs and aphrodisiacs. In this lecture, Dr. Kaayla Daniel will show why those who would be “fruitful and multiply” will not only avoid processed, packaged and fast foods but spurn politically correct, low-fat, high-soy, plant-based diets.

Native Ways
Hunter-gatherers of this continent utilized a large array of wild plant foods. The indigenous were nourished by these foods despite the diversity of antinutrients and toxic elements found within them, as evidenced by their superior physical form, longevity, and well-formed children. This presentation discusses plants harvested by Hunter-gatherers—species, nutrition, and preparation methods—with an emphasis on their methods of detoxifying plants. Cultural significance of plants, gathering tips, and comparisons with contemporary cuisine will also be discussed (where relevant).
John Kozinski
East West Diagnosis to Correct Organ Imbalances with Traditional Food Remedies
In oriental medicines, methods were created to diagnosis a person’s state of health by visual clues: the appearance of the face, hands, feet, skin, hair, nails and the way a person walks and moves. John has extensively studied and practiced these methods with thousands of clients over 40 years. He will share with you his insights on how these signs can reveal the condition of your organs and glands as understood in modern biology and especially related to the metabolism of your body’s systems. Once imbalances are identified, certain kinds of traditional foods and remedies can be advised to address them. John will explain how to see imbalances in the organs and what specific traditional food and herbal remedies can remedy these conditions.
