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":"587: Transcending Fear With Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo","slug":"587-transcending-fear-with-florida-surgeon-general-dr-joseph-ladapo","published_at":"2026-07-13T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956/587-transcending-fear-with-florida-surgeon-general-dr-joseph-ladapo","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956","url":"https://www.westonaprice.org/podcast/transcending-fear-with-florida-surgeon-general-dr-joseph-ladapo","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisetraditions/Audio_-_FINAL_-_WT_587_Dr._Joseph_Ladapo.mp3?dest-id=323969","summary":"What happens when a public health leader refuses to make decisions based on fear? In this episode, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo joins us to discuss the principles that guided him through one of the most turbulent periods in modern medicine. He reflects on his years at UCLA during the COVID-19 pandemic, why he publicly challenged lockdowns and mandates, and what it was like to work alongside Governor Ron DeSantis to chart a different course in Florida. But this conversation goes far beyond policy. Dr. Ladapo opens up about the childhood trauma that left him living in a near-constant state of fear, the unexpected healing journey that transformed his life just months before the pandemic began, and how that experience changed the way he practices medicine, understands chronic illness, and approaches leadership. We also explore Florida's efforts to investigate contaminants in the food supply, remove fluoride from public water, protect informed consent, and address the environmental factors contributing to today's chronic disease epidemic. Throughout this deeply personal and thought-provoking discussion, Dr. Ladapo reminds us that fear narrows our perspective, while wisdom, courage, and connection can help illuminate a better path forward.
