Monte Ladner, M.D. did what most middle-aged medical doctors do, quit his practice and started publishing podcasts. Ladner is passionate about introducing people to the role lifestyle plays in our health, and he’s passionate about teaching people how to strike this balance. He publishes free podcasts that review current medical research about fitness, wellness and health, that everyone can learn a lot from.
