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 Dr. Weston Price, 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 humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. It 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 formula for infants.
Andi Locke Mears of CALM HealthWorks began the Auburn/Lewiston Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation in the winter of 2009/2010. She hosts regular meetings which are open to the public. Everyone is also encouraged to join the Foundation because membership brings many rewards including the amazing Wise Traditions Quarterly magazine which is worth its weight in gold.
Andi customizes diet and nutrition plans incorporating the principles of Weston Price's research along with her training in raw, living food, vegetarianism, veganism, and more. She does not believe there is one single diet that is appropriate for every body on the planet, however, she knows how to get results....which is usually what people desire.
