About Liberation Wellness
When did our nutritional values start falling apart? Early to mid 1900’s, the message that butter, eggs, beef, coconut oil and other sources of saturated fats changed from good to bad. Manufacturers found a way (laboratory experiments) to imitate the taste of foods and extend their shelf life (chemicals and preservatives). Then they sweetened our meals for us, literally, with added sugar, alternative low calorie sweeteners and fortified our foods with synthetic vitamins, minerals and fiber. How can we make healthier food in a lab than a backyard garden?
We transitioned from butter, lard, and coconut oil to hydrogenated to partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Saturated with lies, marketers had us believing that this was heart-healthy and would be the solution to the rise in obesity and incidences of cardiovascular disease. Natural, saturated fats were the culprits and the answer was in fake butters and oils. We bought into the low-fat craze. Manufacturers are quick to point out (market) benefits of eating whole foods while providing products that didn’t come close to whole.
And yet, America’s health hasn’t gotten any better. The foods our ancestors ate were no longer good for us, and for the first time EVER, we’re finding out that today’s children may not live as long as their parents.
Over time, true nutrition ideology got lost in translation. We intellectually talked ourselves out of the game, believing we can eat ANYTHING we THINK is good for us.
People are made to believe that…
- vitamins in a bowl of cereal are just as nutritious as eating organic fruits.
- cooking with vegetable oils is better than grass-fed butter and organic virgin coconut oil.
- it’s safe to consume aspartame, high fructose corn syrup and other alternative sweeteners and our bodies can naturally process these “just as real” ingredients.
- commercially raised beef (full of hormones, fed an unnatural diet) is perfectly acceptable to eat.
We at Liberation Wellness want to empower people to have excellent health and normal weight by:
- Teaching about REAL food (know which foods and ingredients matter and why numbers on labels don’t mean much)
- Exposing partial truths and lies (truth about marketing hype and manufacturer claims
- Changing the way people think about food (such as knowing when to say when and when to say MORE to eating)

About The Weston A. Price Foundation
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Weston A. Price, DDS, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price’s research demonstrated that men and women achieve optimal physical form and health, generation after generation, when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats, whereas they have numerous physical form and health problems when they switch from their traditional diets to the displacing foods of Western commerce, such as foods made with white sugar and white flour, canned goods, and commercially-processed foods.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism and supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective, including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy-based infant formula.
