Animal fats enhance fertility. Babies benefit from breastfeeding but should not be exclusively breastfed for their entire first year. Women should consider giving birth in a hospital! These are just a few of the controversial views that Sally Fallon Morell shares on today's episode.
Sally is the President and Founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, and, as such, she offers valuable insights based on ancestral wisdom related to fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth. She covers dietary choices to enhance conception, and to hasten postpartum recovery. She also goes over how to best nourish a baby and why baby formula is so problematic.
