At the heart of Hunt Harvest Health is a simple, enduring conversation between a hunter and a doctor who also happen to be married. Ryan Lampers and Dr. Hillary Lampers bring more than two decades of shared life to this podcast, exploring what it truly means to live well from their distinct yet complementary perspectives. You’ll hear the details of their journey as a modern family intentionally choosing a simpler, more connected lifestyle. Episodes weave through practical topics like sourcing wild game through hunting, cultivating a garden, and incorporating natural medicine, all balanced with the realities of fitness, backcountry travel, and nurturing relationships. While Ryan heads into the field, Hillary provides the clinical and holistic health viewpoint, creating a dynamic and honest dialogue. Their conversations are further enriched by interviews with a variety of voices from the worlds of food, health, stewardship, and personal growth. Tuning in feels less like getting advice and more like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the ultimate goal is a deeper, more sustainable kind of vitality. This isn’t just a show about isolated hobbies; it’s about how the threads of harvest, health, and home are all intricately connected.
