Tom Rowland Podcast Episode 465 is my conversation with Dr. Hillary Lampers, a naturopathic doctor and the founder of Hunt Harvest Health, about wild game nutrition and the deep connection between hunting and health. Hillary brings 14 years of clinical practice together with a lifelong passion for hunting, and we get into why wild game is some of the cleanest, most nutrient-dense food you can eat, how harvesting your own food changes your relationship with it, and how to think about nutrition from the field to the plate.

Dr. Hillary Lampers is a naturopathic doctor with 14 years of clinical practice and the founder of Hunt Harvest Health. She combines her medical background with a passion for hunting and wild game nutrition, focusing on the connection between harvesting your own food and overall health.
Hunt Harvest Health is the platform Dr. Hillary Lampers founded to bring together hunting, nutrition, and naturopathic medicine. It focuses on the health benefits of wild game, the value of knowing where your food comes from, and a whole-person approach to wellness rooted in time outdoors and clean food.
Wild game is lean, free-range, and free of the additives found in much commercial meat, which makes it one of the most nutrient-dense protein sources available. Dr. Hillary Lampers explains how animals that live and eat naturally produce healthier meat, and how harvesting your own food gives you complete control over what goes on your plate.
Dr. Hillary Lampers argues that hunting supports health on several levels at once: the physical effort of being in the field, the clean nutrition of wild game, and the psychological benefit of being connected to your food and the outdoors. In the episode she ties her naturopathic training to this whole-person view of wellness.

I think a lot about where my food comes from, and Dr. Hillary Lampers lives at the intersection of two things I care about, hunting and health. She is a naturopathic doctor with more than a decade of clinical practice, and she also hunts and has built her work around wild game nutrition. That combination is rare, and it means she can talk about food and the body with real authority while understanding the hunter's perspective from the inside. I wanted her to walk me through why wild game is so good for you and how harvesting changes your relationship with food.

Dr. Lampers makes the nutritional case for wild game, and it is more compelling than I expected. She explains how lean, naturally raised animals produce cleaner, more nutrient-dense meat than most of what is in the grocery store, and what that means for your body over time. Listen to her break down the nutrition in the episode.
There is a difference between buying meat and harvesting it, and Dr. Lampers gets into the part that goes beyond nutrition. Knowing exactly where your food came from, and doing the work to get it, changes your relationship with what you eat. Hear how she connects that to overall wellness.

Dr. Lampers has 14 years of clinical practice, and she brings that medical lens to the conversation about hunting and food. She talks about how she thinks about the whole person, food, movement, stress, and environment, rather than treating nutrition in isolation.

This is the practical part of the episode. Dr. Lampers offers her perspective on handling, preparing, and thinking about wild game so you actually capture its nutritional value. For anyone who fills a freezer each season, this section is worth your full attention. Listen to it in the episode.
The day after this conversation, what stayed with me was how naturally hunting and health fit together once you see them through Dr. Lampers' eyes. The effort in the field, the clean food on the plate, and the connection to where it came from are all part of the same thing.
Her work is a good reminder that the healthiest food is often the food you understand completely, from the moment it was alive to the moment it hits the table. That is a perspective more people could use.
