With today’s epidemic of chronic disease, many Americans are exploring how proper nutrition and alternative medicine can be used to achieve optimal health.
Curious health seekers will have a chance to learn more about nutrition and holistic wellness at the Wise Traditions conference, March 29-30 in Houston. The conference is open to the public and attracts health-conscious consumers as well as health professionals, farmers, chefs, and journalists.
This popular biannual event is sponsored by the Weston A. Price Foundation, an educational non-profit focused on promoting traditional foods rich in essential nutrients, including meat, eggs, butter and full-fat dairy products.
The spring 2014 regional conference will take place at the Marriott South at Hobby Airport.
Over the course of the weekend, attendees will have a chance to attend life-changing lectures and cooking demonstrations and visit exhibits showcasing local foods, interesting products and services, and local practitioners. Topics of talks include “Myths and Truths about Vegetarian Diets,” “The Vital Fat-Soluble Vitamins” and “Having a Healthy Pregnancy.”
For those who want an in-depth look at the nutrition research of Dr. Weston A. Price, the weekend kicks off with a morning presentation by the foundation’s president, Sally Fallon Morell, titled “Nourishing Traditional Diets: The Key to Vibrant Health.”
The rest of the weekend is packed with presentations led by fascinating speakers including Dr. Dawn Ewing, a Houston naturopathic practitioner and author of Let the Tooth Be Known, which examines the links between oral and systemic health; and Kaayla Daniel, PhD who is also known as the “The Naughty Nutritionist” because of her ability to outrageously and humorously debunk nutritional myths ; and Chris Masterjohn, PhD, the creator of Cholesterol-and-Health.com, who demonstrates that cholesterol is not harmful but rather critical to cognitive learning and memory.
Full or one-day registrations are available; the registration fee includes admission to the lectures and exhibit hall and a delicious, nutritious lunch each day. In addition, Saturday evening’s events are open to the public. All are welcome to purchase tickets to Saturday evening’s dinner and attend a free film screening, with free-will donations benefitting the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, a non-profit organization committed to protecting family farms and artisan food producers from unlawful government interference in the sale of raw milk and other artisan farm foods.
