Wise Traditions

The Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health, based on ancient wisdom. 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.

We are not alone! Did you know that we are 10 times more bacteria than we are human? The bacteria that live in (and on us) play a significant role in how our body responds to stress, food, and our environment. In today's episode, microbiologist Kiran Krishnan helps us gain a clearer understanding of the human microbiome and how it relates to our overall health.

Many health conditions--including skin issues like psoriasis and eczema to diabetes and Chron's disease, to candida, yeast issues, and even arthritis and cancer--can stem from an imbalance of bacteria in the gut. Kiran explains why popping a probiotic pill is not the solution and he offers refreshingly different suggestions for what to do to improve the health and strength of your own microbiome.

    The Westen A. Price Foundation podcast WISE TRADITIONS episode 69, http://wisetraditions.libsyn.com/69-improve-your-microbiome. , features an interview with a microbiologist, Kiran Krishnan, who says that regular probiotics which we purchase may or may not be helpful for two reasons. One is that they face immense odds to make it through our digestive system and arrive in the gut. Two is that every person has one’s own unique set of microbes which is set in early childhood.

    So he recommends: 1) continuing to feed one’s own beneficial organisms by eating a diverse diet, like early humans did and 2) if one takes probiotics, take ‘spore-based’ probiotics.

    His recommendation #1 reminds me of rehabilitating a worn-out pasture and its soil. With proper grazing and feeding the soil with a diversity of urine, manure, and decaying plants, insects, etc., the remnant native seed bank is often revitalized and the suite of beneficial natives gradually reestablish.

    Krishnan also paints a fascinating picture of the great diversity of organisms we host, and their genetics. The human is not just a collection of organisms, but also hosts a suite of biomes sort of like looking at our globe and all the different ecosystems it supports, and they are all interconnected.

    Inspiring and useful.
