Everyday chemical exposure can come from places that are easy to overlook.

It’s not only about what we eat. It can also be about what our food comes into contact with along the way, from plastic wrap and storage containers to aluminum and heated cooking surfaces.

Those small, repeated exposures can become part of the bigger picture, especially when they are built into habits we rarely think twice about.

That is why conversations around food contact chemicals matter. The more we understand about the hidden inputs in our environment, the more informed we can be about the choices we make every day.

Join Nora Gedgaudas and Dr. Aristo Vojdani, PhD, MSc, CLS for a deeper discussion on food contact chemicals, autoimmune health, and the factors that may be contributing to the growing burden of immune dysfunction.

Sometimes the ideas we’re most confident about are the ones worth questioning most.

Morley M. Robbins uses a quote often attributed to Mark Twain to make a larger point about nutrition and minerals: many of the beliefs people carry about health are repeated so often that they begin to feel unquestionable.

His message is a reminder to keep examining what we think we know, especially when it comes to topics like mineral balance, iron, copper, and metabolic health.

Join Morley M. Robbins and host Heather Dane for the full webinar as they explore mineral regulation, mitochondrial function, and some of the assumptions that shape modern nutrition.

Before Weston A. Price became known for studying traditional diets, he was a dentist who believed root canals were safe.

Then his own research changed his mind.

This carousel summarizes a Substack article that explores how and why he reversed his position.

Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, his work sparked decades of discussion around infection, immunity, and chronic disease.

A wonderful blend of buttery and earthy, this ‘Butternut Squash Lasagna’ recipe from Kelly Brogan MD is sure to please any crowd (and makes a great opening to share the importance of combining certain foods to obtain optimal nutrition, like proper absorption of fat-soluble vitamin A 😉).

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon ghee
1 onion, finely diced
1 pound organic grass-fed ground beef or pork
3 garlic cloves, minced
36 ounces organic tomato puree (preferably from a glass jar)
4 ounces organic tomato paste (preferably from a glass jar)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium or 1 large butternut squash
4 eggs, beaten
Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Instructions:

Melt the ghee in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and garlic, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree and tomato paste and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you prepare the squash.

Peel the squash and slice it into very thin, uniform rounds; remove the seeds and fiber. Add enough sauce to cover the bottom of a 15 x 10-inch ovenproof dish. Add some squash in a single layer, then add a generous layer of sauce. Add about one-third of the egg and spread it around the dish. Repeat the squash-sauce-egg sequence layering one or two more times depending on how much you have left, finishing with a light layer of sauce. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a knife easily pierces the squash.

What happens when emerging biotechnology begins to blur the line between food and medicine?

Catherine Austin Fitts recounts a Tennessee legislative debate surrounding HB 1894, a 2024 law that defines food containing a vaccine or vaccine material as a drug under the state’s Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Senator Joey Hensley sponsored the companion Senate bill and argued that the legislation was intended to establish safeguards if these technologies reach consumers.

The conversation points to a real and developing area of research: scientists have been investigating plant-based and edible vaccine technologies for years. Importantly, research and development are not the same as products currently being sold in grocery stores, and FDA’s current list of licensed vaccines does not include an edible plant-based vaccine.

It raises a broader question about transparency, regulation, and how emerging technologies involving our food supply should be handled.

Join Nora Gedgaudas and Catherine Austin Fitts for the full conversation as they explore food systems, emerging technologies, policy, and the importance of informed decision-making.

If you’ve been meaning to get more serious about preparedness, this may be the season to do it.

Leisa Sutton shares a blunt but practical reminder: if costs continue rising the way many expect, waiting until fall to think about pantry basics may mean paying more and feeling less prepared.

That doesn’t mean panic. It means being intentional.

Stocking up on the essentials you know your household uses, building a little extra margin into your pantry, and getting ahead while you still can are all simple steps that can make a real difference.

Join Nora Gedgaudas and Leisa Sutton for the full webinar as they talk through practical preparedness, pantry planning, and how to think more proactively about food security and resilience.

Weston A. Price observed that when traditional communities replaced their native diets with modern processed foods, the physical health characteristics he documented often began to decline.

In Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, he compared isolated groups eating traditional diets with related populations who had adopted modern food habits.

His work continues to raise an important question:

What happens to human health when nutrient-dense traditional foods are replaced by modern processed foods?

Eating ancestrally doesn’t automatically mean eating in an ancestral context.

Tallow, egg yolks, full-fat dairy, avocados, and other traditional whole foods can absolutely fit within an ancestral approach. But many of these foods are also energy-dense, and modern abundance makes it possible to combine several concentrated sources of fat throughout the day in a way that may not reflect the circumstances in which traditional diets developed.

That matters if your goal includes maintaining or losing weight.

The point isn’t to fear fat or start stripping nourishing foods from your diet. It’s to look at the whole picture.

How many concentrated sources of fat are you eating in one meal? How much are you moving throughout the day? How much time are you spending outdoors? What does your sleep and light exposure look like?

Ancestral health was never about one macronutrient or one perfect food. It was about food, movement, environment, light, and lifestyle working together.

Ancestral foods aren’t unlimited foods.

Eat real food. Move your body. Get outside. Restore context.

This melt-in-your-mouth fudge recipe is a must-try! We recommend using the cleanest cocoa powder you can get your hands on for this recipe, and if you are looking to add a little hormone love, you can always up the ante by using a cacao and adaptogen blend (like we have here).

Ingredients:

15 ounces organic coconut cream (also known as coconut manna or coconut butter)
4 tablespoons grass-fed ghee or brown butter
1 cup organic cocoa powder
1/3 cup raw honey
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unrefined salt (preferably Celtic fleur de sel)
1 cup sprouted walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, etc., chopped

Directions:

Soften coconut cream by placing the jar in a pan of hot water, then transfer softened cream to a large bowl.

Using a stand or hand mixer, mix coconut cream and separated oil until smooth. Add ghee or brown butter and mix until well incorporated.

One tablespoon at a time, add cocoa powder while the mixer is running, making sure to smooth out any lumps.

Add honey, vanilla extract, salt, and nuts, tasting as you go and making adjustments to achieve your desired fudge flavor.

Spread mixture in a rectangular baking pan or press into a silicone mold, and refrigerate until firm.

Could autoimmune conditions be influenced by something deeper than an immune system that simply “gets confused”?

Morley M. Robbins offers a different perspective, explaining how excess iron may accumulate inside immune cells and why bioavailable copper plays an important role in helping the body manage and move that iron appropriately.

It’s a perspective that challenges the common idea that anemia always means the body simply needs more iron. Instead, Robbins points to the broader importance of understanding how minerals work together and what happens when that balance is disrupted.

Comment “WEBINAR” and we’ll send you the full recorded webinar, The Mitochondria Fix: Balancing Your Minerals, featuring Morley M. Robbins and hosted by Heather Dane.

The full session explores the relationship between mineral balance, mitochondrial function, energy production, and long-term cellular health.
