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.

What does it really mean to become more resilient in an increasingly unpredictable world?

Food, energy, supply chains, and other systems we rely on every day can feel permanent, until they are disrupted.

That’s why this upcoming conversation is about agency and not fear.

Join Christian Westbrook, better known as Ice Age Farmer, and Nora Gedgaudas for a free live webinar exploring practical ways individuals, families, and communities can build greater food security, self-reliance, and local resilience.

Together, they’ll discuss:

• Why food, energy, and supply systems are becoming increasingly fragile
• Practical ways to become less dependent on centralized systems
• How to strengthen local food supplies and community networks
• The role of animal-source nutrition during uncertain times
• How to prepare thoughtfully without falling into fear or overwhelm
• Opportunities to build real skills and create positive change locally
• Plus a live Q&A with Christian and Nora

You don’t have to become completely self-sufficient overnight.

The goal is to become a little more capable, a little more prepared, and a little more connected to the people and resources around you.

What would change if you could produce even a meaningful portion of your own food?

You don’t need acres of land or a complicated homestead to start building greater food security.

In this conversation, Marjory Wildcraft and Nora Gedgaudas break down a surprisingly simple approach built around three things: a small garden, chickens, and rabbits.

Together, they explain how these pieces can potentially produce hundreds of thousands of calories each year, enough to provide a significant portion of one person’s annual food needs.

But the bigger takeaway isn’t about becoming completely self-sufficient.

It’s about becoming more capable.

Learning to grow food. Learning to raise animals. Building skills that make you less dependent on systems outside your control.

You don’t have to do everything.

You just have to start somewhere.

Pesticide manufacturers just gained more legal protection. Now Congress has a chance to respond.

A recent Supreme Court ruling could block many state-law lawsuits from people who claim pesticide manufacturers failed to adequately warn them about potential risks.

Senator Cory Booker is expected to introduce an amendment to the Senate Farm Bill that would protect Americans’ ability to bring these failure-to-warn claims under state law.

If you believe companies should be held accountable when their products cause harm, now is the time to speak up.

What does resilience actually look like in everyday life?

Sometimes it starts with something as simple as growing food, learning practical skills, knowing where your meals come from, and becoming a little less dependent on systems you cannot control.

In this clip, Christian Westbrook shares why building skills and strengthening local communities can be about much more than preparedness. It can also be a way of reconnecting with something deeply human: creating, growing, teaching, sharing, and taking an active role in shaping the world around you.

That is exactly what we’ll explore in our upcoming FREE live webinar, Resilience in an Age of Disruption.

Join Christian Westbrook, better known as Ice Age Farmer, and Nora Gedgaudas for a wide-ranging conversation about:

• Building greater food security
• Becoming less dependent on fragile centralized systems
• Strengthening local food and community networks
• Practical preparation without fear or overwhelm
• The role of animal-source nutrition during uncertain times
• Turning awareness into meaningful action

This conversation is not about living in fear. It is about building agency, skills, and resilience before you need them.
