Price Foundation","episode_count":591,"summary":"The Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health grounded in traditional wisdom. We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found by \"improving\" nature. On the contrary, \"Life in all its fullness is Mother Nature obeyed,\" as Dr. Weston A. Price observed. By learning from healthy societies of the past, we can rediscover how to live healthier lives today. The Foundation's podcast is an invitation to explore traditional food and healthways that support true vitality. Host and producer Kendall Nelson interviews leading experts on a wide range of topics—ranging from preparing traditional foods, nutrient-dense diets, organ meats and animal fats to grass-based farming, natural detoxification, the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Each episode offers listeners practical insights and timeless wisdom to help them heal, grow and live more vibrant, fulfilling lives.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T20:21:13.578857+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956"},"episode":{"title":"562: The Mental Health Crisis Is Not What We Think It Is With Laura Delano","slug":"562-the-mental-health-crisis-is-not-what-we-think-it-is-with-laura-delano","published_at":"2026-01-19T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956/562-the-mental-health-crisis-is-not-what-we-think-it-is-with-laura-delano","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956","url":"https://www.westonaprice.org/podcast/the-mental-health-crisis-is-not-what-we-think-it-is-with-laura-delano","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisetraditions/Audio_-_FINAL_-_WT_562_Laura_Delano.mp3?dest-id=323969","summary":"There is DEFINITELY a mental health crisis in the U.S. right now. But it's not about a lack of access to treatment or meds. Nearly one in four adults is on psychiatric meds, and nearly one in ten children is, as well. The crisis has to do with med-induced harm, according to Laura Delano, the author of \"Unshrunk\". And Laura speaks from her own first-hand experience with the American mental health industry. Since her early teen years, she has been on countless meds, including Seroquel, Prozac, Effexor, Provigil, Ambien, and Klonopin, all without any improvement in her worsening symptoms. Today, she describes her own mental health journey, offers insights about what sparked her questioning of the system, and why she's concluded that we would do well to question the nature of the crisis and to get curious about how to promote wellbeing with alternatives to psychiatric drugs.
