In this episode of the podcast I explore the topic of Normal vs Natural. I discuss how our current environment is so far removed for the environment humans are naturally designed to live in and how I believe this is the main cause of the most common health issue that we experience today. I also chat about a concept called the "Evolutionary Perspective of Health" and how this approach can be used in order to identify the things in your life that may be adversely affecting your health, and allow you to make changes that align with your health goals. Towards the end of the episode I give some simple lifestyle tips to help you live a lifestyle that is more naturally suited to the way we are designed to live. I really enjoyed creating this episode as this is a topic that fascinates me and I hope you find it as interesting as I do. Enjoy!
