Thrive Naturally Essentials Course

In this episode, Dr. Steve talks with Hilda Labrada Gore, better known as Holistic Hilda, a world‑traveling health explorer and host of the Wise Traditions podcast from the Weston A. Price Foundation. Hilda shares what she has learned from traditional cultures in places like Mongolia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Cuba about food, joy, and real health.​

They discuss how moving away from processed "Franken foods" and back to simple, God‑made foods (meat, eggs, butter, seasonal produce) can lower inflammation, improve energy, and help prevent diseases like type 2 diabetes. You'll hear practical examples from indigenous diets, why getting off the blood‑sugar roller coaster matters, and how healthy fats help you feel full so you naturally stop snacking.​

Hilda and Dr. Steve also dive into lifestyle "medicine": grounding, sunlight, stress, and sleep. Hilda explains why she thinks of humans as "little batteries" that charge from the earth below and the sun above, and how morning sunlight and going barefoot can calm your nervous system and support better hormones and sleep.​

If you're stuck in the cycle of stress‑eating, ultra‑processed food, and more medications, this conversation will show you how simple, low‑carb, whole‑food changes (plus sun and grounding) can move you toward real energy and a longer health span, not just a longer lifespan.​

• What Dr. Weston A. Price discovered about traditional diets and why the Weston A. Price Foundation was created.​

• Why indigenous groups eating local, organic, seasonal, traditional foods have almost no type 2 diabetes or obesity.​

• How refined foods (sugar, white flour, seed oils, additives) drive cavities, crowded teeth, inflammation, and chronic disease over generations.​

• Why ultra‑processed foods are engineered to be addictive (the "bliss point," crunch, hand‑to‑mouth pattern) and keep you overeating.​

• How swapping to nutrient‑dense animal foods and healthy fats can reduce cravings and help natural weight loss.​

• The difference between "God‑made" and "man‑made" food, and why long shelf life often means it shortens your life.​

• How Hilda's husband lost weight and lowered inflammation by ditching gluten and dairy for a time and focusing on meat and simple whole foods.​

• Why healthy animal fats like butter, tallow, and lard (plus olive and coconut oil) are more supportive than industrial seed oils.​

• How grounding (bare feet on the earth) and sunlight act like natural anti‑inflammatories and help your body "charge" properly.​

• A simple morning routine (barefoot outside + early sunlight) that can help reset cortisol, improve sleep, and support energy all day.​

1. How Holistic Hilda went from curious health coach to "Dora the Explorer 2.0," visiting traditional cultures around the world to learn their secrets for energy and longevity.​

2. What Dr. Weston A. Price found when he studied isolated people groups and compared their teeth, posture, and overall health to those eating modern, refined foods.​

3. Why indigenous communities eating "the lost diet" of local, organic, seasonal, traditional foods almost never develop type 2 diabetes.​

4. How refined grains, sugar, and vegetable oils change facial structure, increase cavities, and set kids up for poorer health in future generations.​

5. The reason you can't stop at one bag of chips or cookies: food companies engineer products to hit your brain's pleasure centers and keep you hooked.​

6. Why real fats like butter, tallow, lard, and quality animal products are deeply satisfying and can naturally crowd out late‑night junk food.​

7. Hilda's story of Mongolian families thriving on animal foods (meat, milk, fat, even organs) and what that says about nutrient density and strength.​

8. The true cost of "cheap" food: more inflammation, pain, medications, doctor visits, and a poor quality of life as you age.​

9. How to start breaking the cycle of stress‑eating and ultra‑processed snacks by focusing on satiating protein and fat instead of constant carbs.​

10. A simple, free "prescription": get outside within 30–45 minutes of sunrise, bare feet on the ground, and let natural light and the earth help reset your body.
