Younger Than Yesterday

In this episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian Clark sits down with Spencer Feldman,
founder of RemedyLink and a 30-year researcher in microbiome health and safe
detoxification. After a vaccine reaction ended his path to becoming an ER surgeon,
Spencer turned to functional medicine and has spent three decades pulling overlooked
findings out of medical research.
Spencer walks through the four areas where he sees people get stuck: the microbiome,
heavy metals, mold, and chemicals. He shares simple, low-cost ways to check your own
health at home, from stool pH strips to what your dreams reveal about sleep apnea.
He also explains why the sinuses may be the most underrated organ for brain health, how
modern homes breed mold, and why a properly designed detox should never leave you
feeling worse day after day.
In this episode, you'll discover why needing toilet paper may signal an unhealthy gut, how
cooked and chilled potatoes and rice feed the lower colon, and why your brain drains its
waste through your sinuses at night. You'll learn how nitric oxide connects your eyesight,
sexual function, and heart health, the warning signs of mold in your home, and Spencer's
"relay chelation" approach to removing heavy metals without redistributing them to the
brain.

Part 2 In this episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian Clark sits down with Hilda Labrada Gore, “Holistic Hilda,” for Part 2 of their conversation about ancestral health, longevity and the mindset that keeps us young at heart.
Hilda hosted the Wise Traditions podcast for the Weston A. Price Foundation for 10 years and has spent years learning from Indigenous communities around the world. In this episode she shares how two weeks of morning sunlight turned her from a lifelong night owl into an early riser with more energy and a better mood. She also explains why light hygiene, grounding and real food matter more than most people realize.
She and Ian talk about the Kogi people’s view of the day as a wave, her 94-year-old father’s love of learning, and a Quechua midwife’s message that “our body is sacred.” They also discuss why self-respect, personal responsibility and daily affirmations can rewrite the stories we tell ourselves about aging.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How Hilda reset her circadian rhythm in just two weeks with early morning sunlight
Why “we’ve become astronauts,” and how to protect your light environment at night
The Aboriginal practice of dadirri, and why we’re “human doings” instead of human beings
Why “aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort,” and how cold adaptation and stacking habits can help
What the Kogi people of Colombia teach about living with the rhythm of the sun
How grounding and bare feet on the earth can help you feel better
The toddy palm climbers of Tamil Nadu, India, and their traditional palm sugar
Why your mindset matters for longevity, and why “your cells are listening”
Why Ian claims “I am perfectly healthy,” and how affirmations can change you from the inside out
Hilda’s upcoming book The Ancestral Mother Code and her message for busy moms

If you’re curious about circadian health, ancestral living, healthy aging or building a longevity mindset, this conversation shows that small daily habits can change everything.

(Part 1 )** In this episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian Clark sits down with Hilda Labrada Gore, known as “Holistic Hilda.” She’s an ancestral health advocate, podcaster and researcher who has travelled the world learning from Indigenous elders about what keeps the human body and spirit strong.
Before she was born, doctors told Hilda’s mother that her baby would likely be deaf or unable to speak, and advised her not to have the child. Hilda was born a “blue baby” with a hole in her heart and had open heart surgery at age nine. She decided then that she would do everything she could to stay healthy without hospitals and help others do the same. Now over 60, she says she feels half her age.
Hilda produced the Wise Traditions podcast for the Weston A. Price Foundation for 10 years. Since 2015 she has visited Indigenous communities in Kenya, Australia, Peru and beyond, recording the habits that kept their elders strong into old age. She and Ian talk about the “lost diet” of local, organic, seasonal and traditional foods, why a diagnosis can shape how a person lives, and the Aboriginal practice of dadirri, or deep listening. They also cover simple daily habits like morning walks, sunlight and cold adaptation that anyone can start today.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How a 100-year-old Maasai elder who “never got sick” explained what changed for his grandchildren
What Dr. Weston A. Price found when he studied 14 isolated Indigenous groups, and what their traditional diets had in common
Why the word “diagnosis” matters, and how fear can shape your health outcomes
The Aboriginal practice of dadirri, and how stillness can point you toward your purpose
Why walking may be the most underrated longevity habit, and how many steps Ian aims for each day
How to “stack your hacks” with morning sunlight, cold exposure and prayer walks
Why moms need to meet their own needs first, from Hilda’s upcoming book The Ancestral Mother Code: Six Habits to Restore Your Energy and Build Generational Health (out February 2027)

Whether you’re into ancestral health, natural longevity, real food nutrition or just want more energy without getting overwhelmed, this conversation gives you a simple place to start: pick one habit and begin.

Walking Is the Missing Link to Longevity | Ian Clark
Walking is one of the most overlooked foundations of human health. We've become so accustomed to thinking of exercise in terms of calories burned, gym memberships, and fitness routines that we've lost sight of what happens inside the body every time we take a step.
In this episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian Clark takes a deeper look at the science and mechanics of walking, explaining how this seemingly ordinary movement supports circulation, lymphatic function, bone strength, digestion, cognitive health, and longevity.
The human body is built for movement. Our feet, muscles, joints, and connective tissues work together through a remarkable sequence of compression, release, and rhythmic motion. Walking engages these systems simultaneously, helping maintain the physical functions that become increasingly important as we age.
Approaching his seventieth year, Ian shares his personal experience of making walking a nonnegotiable part of his daily routine, now averaging a minimum of 21,000 steps per day. The changes he's observed have reinforced his belief that consistent walking is one of the most valuable investments we can make in our long-term health.
Throughout the conversation, Ian breaks down ten important physiological mechanisms associated with walking, including the pumping action of the feet and calf muscles, lymphatic circulation, skeletal loading, spinal disc movement, joint mobility, digestive motility, and the relationship between physical activity and memory.
He also challenges conventional thinking around daily step counts, walking speed, running, and structured exercise. Rather than chasing arbitrary numbers or pushing the body beyond its capabilities, Ian encourages finding your natural walking cadence and gradually increasing the amount of movement you can comfortably sustain.
The conversation extends into the relationship between walking and emotional well-being, the value of spending time outdoors, and Ian's perspective on the body's interaction with the Earth's electromagnetic environment.
Perhaps most importantly, Ian explores how much of what we associate with getting older may also reflect years of physical inactivity. Walking cannot stop biological aging, but maintaining mobility, cardiovascular fitness, and physical independence can make a meaningful difference in how we experience it.
In this episode, Ian discusses:
How walking supports blood circulation through the plantar venous plexus and calf muscle pump
The relationship between movement, lymphatic drainage, and immune function
Why weight-bearing activity matters for bone strength and skeletal health
How the arches of the feet contribute to efficient movement
The effects of walking on spinal discs, connective tissue, fascia, and joint mobility
The relationship between walking, digestion, and intestinal motility
How regular physical activity supports brain health, memory, and cognitive function
Why walking speed is considered an indicator of physical function and longevity
Finding your natural walking cadence and building a sustainable daily step count
The importance of movement in maintaining independence and quality of life as we age

Walking requires no membership, expensive equipment, or complicated protocol. It's an opportunity to work with the body's natural design, one step at a time.
As Ian puts it, "Every step is an investment in your future health."

Can a simple routine of slapping and stretching really change how you think about pain?
In this episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian Clark sits down with Hongchi Xiao for part two of their conversation. Hongchi is the teacher behind Paida Lajin, the practice of slapping and stretching the body, and the man who first introduced Ian to self-healing nine years ago.
This time they get practical. They talk about pain, stress and the heart, and about the stories Hongchi gathered while in a British prison, including a cellmate who was a doctor and stopped thinking it was nonsense. Hongchi also explains why he teaches the same simple routine for almost every complaint.
It’s warm, funny and full of stories. It ends with plans for Hongchi’s workshops in North America.
