The Wise Traditions Diet is based primarily on the pioneering research of Dr. Weston A. Price. It is based on eleven dietary principles that was found in traditional peoples diets that kept them vibrant and healthy. The principles do not dictate ratios or eliminate food categories, rather the emphasis is on agricultural techniques, food choices, and preparation techniques.

 

Traditional diets maximize nutrients through choosing foods from:

​

• Fertile soile instead of depleted soil

• Organ meats preferred over muscle meats

• Natural animal fats instead of processed vegetable oils

• Animals on pasture instead of animals in confinement

• Dairy products raw and/or fermented instead of dairy products pasteurized or ultrapasteurized

• Grains and legumes soaked and/or fermented instead of grains refined or extruded

• Soy foods given long fermentation and consumed in small amounts instead of soy foods industrially processed and consumed in large amounts

• Bones broths instead of MSG and artificial flavorings

• Unrefined sweeteners instead of refined sugars

• Lacto-fermented vegetables instead of processed, pasteurized pickles

• Lacto-fermented beverages instead of modern soft drinks

• Unrefined salt instead of refined salt

• Natural vitamins occurring in foods instead of synthetic vitamins taken alone or added to foods

• Traditional cooking instead of microwave, irradiation

• Traditional seed, open pollination instead of hybrid or GMO seeds

​

Following these principles where you take consideration in what food you choose and from where, and care in food preparation has many rewards - nourishing foods adopted through timeless principles allow for optimal nutrition, health, and promoting a healthy gut.​
