Dickson Ole Gisa, a leader in his Maasai village, contacted the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) in 2014, saying, "Please send someone over. We're all getting sick!" Dickson had found out about the principles of the foundation and the Wise Traditions diet, and they really resonated with him and his community's experience.\xa0
WAPF did send leaders to his village in Matapato, Kenya,\xa0in 2015\xa0and, in partnership with Dickson, began spreading the\xa0word about the link between good nutrition and overall health.\xa0
In today's fascinating conversation, Dickson recounts his childhood dietary habits and where his people are today. He talks about the allure of "foreign foods" and the corresponding rise in the incidences of cancer, diabetes, and other diseases heretofore unknown by his village.\xa0
Dickson's\xa0community in Oiti is taking steps\xa0to return to their traditional diet. This episode may inspire you to follow ancestral food ways, as well.
