Ep 041: Sally Fallon Morell on SIDS, Seed Oils, and the Spiritual Crisis in Your Kitchen

In this rich and revealing episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes the legendary Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, for an eye-opening conversation that blends ancestral nutrition, holistic health, and spiritual alignment in today’s toxic food and medical culture. Together, they unpack the roots of nutritional wisdom, challenge mainstream health narratives, and dive into controversial yet essential topics including raw milk, vaccine injury, the decline of small family farms, and why butter (not margarine) belongs on your plate. Sally also shares the spiritual significance of honoring the body as a temple, discusses the dietary crisis facing modern society, and offers practical advice to reclaim your family’s health.

 

Critical topics include:

• The difference between raw milk vs. pasteurized milk and the science behind why raw milk supports digestion, immunity, and childhood development

• The impact of vaccines on child health, including SIDS, chronic illness, and Sally’s perspective on medical freedom

• The decline of small family farms and why local, regenerative agriculture must be preserved

• Why traditional animal fats like butter, liver, and fish eggs are essential for hormonal health, fertility, and brain development

• How processed foods, protein powders, and synthetic vitamins are silently damaging our population

• Sally’s perspective on the spiritual roots of nourishment, including Biblical insights into food, the sacredness of the body, and how nutrition aligns with God’s design

• The legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and the principles behind his research on indigenous diets and generational health

• Practical tips to start your real food journey, like the one-minute fix that could radically improve your family’s health: making your own salad dressing

 

Jamie also opens up about her personal transformation from following mainstream health advice to finding healing through the Nutritional Therapy Association and Weston A. Price teachings—especially after a vaccine injury in her own family. The episode ends with a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of food, faith, and functional nutrition, including Sally’s call for churches to reawaken to the importance of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

 

Whether you’re an NTP, parent, homesteader, church leader, or just someone seeking truth in a world of health confusion, this episode will inspire and empower you to live nourished, informed, and aligned—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
