Three Little Pigs wisdom

I love the idea that children’s stories have messages in them for all ages. In fact, I think storytelling has the heart of humanity wrapped up in it.

The Three Little Pigs is a story I heard in song first. Rosenshontz has a version called “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf” that will live in my mind forever.

Now grown, I can hear the messages from this story so clearly:

(1) the reminder that what you build with matters

(2) what is worth having will take work, and won’t be overnight

We have so much convenience. Our modern world has cars that take us to places in minutes, control over the temperature of our air, we can listen to music or podcasts anywhere, and most notably, every corner shines a light saying, “EAT HERE, NOW!”

With such a push-button life it is easy to forget that we do not have to have everything. Especially not the straw or sticks that are for sale. Even if they are subsidized and nearly free. Even if they are delicious. Even if they are open all-night. Even if you can drive through and they say it is their “pleasure” to help you.

Because every day you are building your health for you and your family. If you build it out of straw and sticks, you are not giving your body what it needs to face a certain visit from the Big Bad Wolf.

A house made out of bricks is what you need. Real food is what it takes to stand up to depression, obesity, cancer, diabetes, bacteria and viruses, allergies and brain fog, and the list of Big Bad Wolf comparisons go on. When you make the choice to take extra time, money and energy to build with bricks, the effort will feel tremendous at first. Especially when your family or friends are “napping” or “playing the fiddle” and they want you to join them.

Each of us will have to face up to what we have built our health with and for some it will come when we look at our infants and see eczema crisscrossing their bodies, and for others they will notice that their energy seems gone, they are struggling to conceive, they can’t seem to maintain a healthy weight, or they discover an autioimmune condition. The questions isn’t “if,” it is “when” your house will blow down when you are building with sticks and straw.

You can face down every single wolf this world brings with simple food-medicine. There are three basic building blocks you need to create a brick house. Every ancestral diet or real food plan knows them and uses them.

I will show you what the building blocks are and how to use them.

You can rebuild, remodel and create health that stays with you into old age.
