602: What Traditional Cultures Can Teach Us About Raising Healthy Children With Mariélli Pahim
What can traditional cultures teach us about fertility, pregnancy, babies, and lifelong health? Nutritionist Mariélli Pahim spent 15 years traveling through more than 35 countries, living and working alongside indigenous and traditional communities and observing how they grow, prepare, and eat their food. Along the way, she discovered remarkable similarities across cultures—from the importance of animal foods and organ meats to fermentation, traditional food preparation, and the role of community. In this episode, Mariélli shares how her experiences in places like Tonga, Fiji, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey, and Norway challenged what she had learned in conventional nutrition school—and how discovering the work of Dr. Weston A. Price and Sally Fallon Morell helped her connect the dots. She also explains why preparing for pregnancy begins with both the mother and the father, the nutrient-dense foods she emphasizes during pregnancy, and what traditional cultures understand about nourishing women during the critical postpartum period. Mariélli shares the unusual first foods she gave her own son, including fish eggs and reindeer, and why she believes restoring ancestral food traditions can give children a healthier start in life. Finally, Mariélli offers one simple place to begin if you want to bring ancestral nutrition into your own kitchen today. WAPF Ad: The Greatest Gift documentary.

601: Under The Microscope: What's Really In The COVID Shots? With Shimon Yanowitz
What's really inside the COVID shots? Electrical engineer and independent researcher Shimon Yanowitz decided he wanted to see for himself. Drawing on his background in semiconductor fabrication and industrial microscopy, Shimon began examining samples of the COVID injections under a microscope, and says what he observed led him down a years-long investigation into nanotechnology, engineering, and the scientific literature. In this episode, Shimon describes the unusual structures he says he observed in the samples, including ribbons, filaments, and formations resembling electronic circuitry. He explains how he watched some of these structures develop in real time and why he believes what he saw is evidence of self-assembling nanotechnology. Shimon also discusses his research into DARPA documents and scientific literature, his concerns about the potential effects of these technologies in the human body, and his own experience of becoming ill after working closely with the injectable material. Finally, he shares findings from his recently published paper, From Synthetic DNA and RNA-Based Self-Assembling Nanotechnology to Sequelae of COVID-19 Shots. WAPF Ad: Become a member today.

600: The Truth About Fluoride In Your Water With Michael Connett
Attorney Michael Connett has spent more than two decades investigating fluoride—and seven years battling the Environmental Protection Agency in federal court over the risks of adding it to drinking water. In this episode, he takes us inside the landmark case that resulted in a federal judge finding that water fluoridation poses an unreasonable risk to children's developing brains. Michael discusses research linking fluoride exposure during pregnancy with reduced IQ in children, the government report he says officials tried to prevent from being released, and how the court's decision helped propel efforts to end water fluoridation in Utah and Florida. He also explains where the fluoride added to drinking water comes from, why swallowing fluoride is not necessary for its purported dental benefits, and why he believes fluoridation raises serious questions about informed consent. We also explore research surrounding fluoride and bone health, the current status of Michael's case against the EPA, his new lawsuits involving children's fluoride products, and the prevalence of dental fluorosis among American children. Finally, Michael offers practical ways to reduce fluoride exposure and explains how ordinary citizens can get involved in efforts to end water fluoridation in their own communities.

599: The Control Grid: How To Protect Your Money And Your Freedom With Catherine Austin Fitts
What happens when the financial system can control not just how we spend our money, but what we are allowed to buy? Catherine Austin Fitts, former Wall Street investment banker, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and publisher of The Solari Report, joins us to explain what she calls the emerging "control grid"—and why she believes it threatens food, health, and personal freedom. Catherine breaks down the three pillars of the control grid: surveillance infrastructure, digital identity, and financial transaction control. She explains stablecoins, the movement of bank deposits and investment assets onto distributed ledgers, and how an "automatic third lock" could allow transactions to be restricted without human intervention. She also discusses the CLEAR Act and proposed protections for financial freedom. The conversation explores Catherine's views on the financial forces behind the COVID response, depopulation, and protecting our children. She shares her remarkable story of losing her wealth, enduring years of litigation, and rebuilding her life—and how it transformed her understanding of real wealth. Catherine explains why she believes we should finance the people and businesses we trust, support local farmers, and invest in the "people bank." She closes with practical ways to begin "Coming Clean" and build a healthier, freer future. WAPF Ad- Join us October 16th through 18th in Washington, D.C., for the 2026 Wise Traditions Conference.

598: The Surprising Benefits Of CO₂ And A Warmer Planet With Gregory Wrightstone
Gregory Wrightstone, geologist, author, and executive director of the CO2 Coalition, challenges the prevailing narrative that rising carbon dioxide and a warming planet spell disaster. Drawing on geology, climate history, and agricultural data, Gregory makes the case that modest warming and increased CO2 are benefiting both humanity and the natural world. He explains how longer growing seasons and higher CO2 levels can increase agricultural productivity and help plants withstand drought, and takes us back through history to explore the connection between warm periods, abundant food, and flourishing civilizations. He also weighs in on sea-level rise, retreating glaciers, polar bears and species extinction, and the environmental costs of wind and solar energy. Gregory also discusses the effort to overturn the EPA's CO2 endangerment finding and the CO2 Coalition's involvement in the resulting legal battle. Finally, he shares how the Coalition is creating free educational materials to help children examine climate claims through science, critical thinking, and the scientific method.

597: Should You Have The Right to Choose Your Blood Donor? With Liz James
What if you needed a blood transfusion—but wanted a say in whose blood you received? In this episode, pharmacist and patient advocate Liz James shares the remarkable story behind Blessed By His Blood, a nonprofit cooperative helping people locate compatible directed blood donors and navigate a system that can make receiving blood from someone you know surprisingly difficult. Liz explains why she walked away from a successful pharmacy career in 2020, how her commitment to informed consent eventually led her into blood-donor advocacy, and why she believes patients should have the right to choose their blood donors in non-emergency situations. She takes us inside the blood industry, raising questions about blood storage, testing, medications and other substances that may be present in donor blood, and the financial incentives she believes are contributing to resistance to directed donation. She also discusses the legislative effort to protect directed donor blood, including the first successful law in Idaho, and shares moving stories of families Blessed By His Blood has helped—including a transplant patient and two young girls who depend on regular transfusions. Finally, Liz explains how families can make a plan before a transfusion is ever needed and why becoming your own advocate may be one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health.

596: The Healing Power Of Therapeutic Enemas With Monika Holland
Last week, Monika Holland explained why rebuilding the gut with No Plant GAPS can lay the foundation for healing. In this follow-up conversation, she explores another often-overlooked piece of the puzzle: therapeutic enemas. Monika explains why enemas have been used for generations as part of the GAPS protocol, describing the different purposes of cleansing, nourishing, and targeted enemas and how she incorporates them into her work with clients facing severe digestive, neurological, and autoimmune challenges. She discusses meat stock enemas for nourishment, coffee enemas for supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways, and other approaches designed to address specific needs. Along the way, Monika shares her own experiences, addresses common misconceptions, explains who should—and should not—consider coffee enemas, and emphasizes the importance of individualized guidance. She also discusses why she believes healing begins with nourishing the body rather than aggressively "killing" pathogens, and why patience, rather than rigid timelines, may be one of the most important ingredients for recovery.

595: The Healing Power Of No Plant GAPS With Monika Holland
What if the foods you believe are nourishing your gut are actually preventing it from healing? Monika Holland knows what it feels like to be told there are no options left. After years of debilitating illness, she was diagnosed with life-threatening Crohn's disease and given just months to live. Today, she helps people with some of the most severe digestive, neurological, and autoimmune conditions recover through the GAPS protocol—and a little-known therapeutic approach called No Plant GAPS. In this first of a two-part conversation, Monika shares her remarkable healing story and explains why Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride developed No Plant GAPS for those with the most damaged digestive systems. She discusses why meat stock—not bone broth—is the foundation of healing, how the protocol aims to repair the gut lining and restore the microbiome, and why temporarily removing plant foods may help some people recover from chronic illness. Monika also addresses common concerns about nutrient deficiencies, explains the concept of metabolic flexibility, shares dramatic recovery stories from her clinical practice, and discusses the powerful connection between emotional healing and physical health. Whether you're struggling with digestive problems yourself or simply want to better understand the therapeutic side of the GAPS protocol, this episode offers a fascinating look at one practitioner's approach to restoring health from the inside out. In Part 2, we'll explore another important piece of the healing journey: therapeutic enemas, detoxification, and practical strategies for continuing recovery.
