  • Great job Kendall

    I like the perspective you’re bringing Kendall and I enjoy your interview style! Keep up the great work. I’m a new mom so I would love topics geared towards childhood nutrition and traditional child raising wisdom! Much love, Dana

  • EVERYONE TALKS TOO FAST!!!

    Love WPF, longtime listener here, and the podcast, but all of a sudden the podcast has either brought on professional fast talkers or for some reason post production is clicking up the speed rate. PLEASE stop this. It’s making the guests sound like teenagers, which really diminishes their credibility, and it’s not allowing the nanoseconds of time we as listeners need to an absorb the information. Thanks in advance for returning to a human rate of speed.

  • Enjoying Kendall

    It’s an adjustment from Hilda but so far I am enjoying Kendall. She has a new perspective and background which brings something new to the podcast. I don’t have a guest suggestion on Dr. James Thomas a pediatric dentist specializing in latching. He mention his love for WAP at our first meeting. It was revolutionary for me to chat with him about latches and mouth ties.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

594: Medicinal Clay For Shingles And More With Neal Bosshardt
Q: How exactly does the clay work for shingles, and what should someone pay attention to safety-wise?
Neal cites a combination of clay's negative charge, alkalinity, and broad mineral spectrum as possible mechanisms, and stresses safety through using specific bentonite clay, avoiding overconsumption, and following proper preparation methods.
594: Medicinal Clay For Shingles And More With Neal Bosshardt
Q: Right. Before we get too far along, let's just define what shingles is. Can you explain what it is and why it's important to find relief?
Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella zoster virus, often triggered by stress or aging, causing painful blisters and nerve pain; while medicine can manage symptoms, Neal emphasizes clay as a potential relief method to shorten duration and reduce pain.
587: Transcending Fear With Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo
Q: How has your personal work on fear and trauma influenced your public health philosophy?
Overcoming personal fear allowed for clearer judgment and emphasized the need to balance public health with respect for autonomy, ensuring decisions are rooted in broad evidence and thoughtful leadership rather than fear.
587: Transcending Fear With Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo
Q: What policy actions did you implement early in Florida to address the crisis without succumbing to fear?
We moved away from fear-based mandates, such as certain masking requirements, and implemented policies focusing on data-driven decisions, keeping schools from being able to compel masking, and relaxing quarantine rules in appropriate contexts.
587: Transcending Fear With Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo
Q: What did public health leadership look like during fear and political pressure, and what was your prescription for a better way in public health?
Leadership should rely on data, remain open to scientific debate, and avoid decisions driven by fear or political pressure. A thoughtful approach emphasizes transparency, individual autonomy, and resilience-building practices.
