#43: “Sally Fallon Morell: Butter, Raw Milk, and the War on Real Food”

On today’s episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers welcome Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and president of the Weston A. Price Foundation — a woman who’s been challenging mainstream nutrition dogma for over two decades. From defending raw milk and butter to exposing the dangers of industrial seed oils, glyphosate, soy, and processed foods, Sally calls out the powerful food and pharmaceutical interests that have shaped what she calls a “profitable but poisonous” diet. She argues that modern nutrition has been hijacked by money, convenience, and ideology — leaving generations sicker, weaker, and less fertile. In this provocative conversation, Sally dismantles the myths behind “healthy oils,” the food pyramid, and pasteurization, and explains why whole animal fats, cod liver oil, and traditional diets hold the key to reversing modern disease. She even connects food choices to rising infertility, behavioral changes, and chronic illness — warning that the survival of future generations depends on rediscovering what our ancestors knew all along. 📍 Learn more about her Wise Traditions Conference this October 17th - 19th in Salt Lake City at WiseTraditions.org — featuring practical workshops on ancestral nutrition, fermentation, raw dairy, and real food science.
