Adventures in Humaning

I secretly hit record when Frank & I were talking about mercury and heavy metals... and we meandered into sequestration and the power of mother nature... and how so many of us have a limited perspective.

Welcome back! Your adventure continues...

This week we delve back into the concept of the extreme (indoor) environment. While it can be difficult to conceptualize your microbiome like we talked about in the the first part, and it takes a bit more cognitive energy to grasp your relationship with your circadian rhythm like we chatted about in the second part, in this episode we touch on the classical, physical, tangible environment. We meander about what our physical environment does to us, how it shapes and informs us. We explore some of the mismatch that may be prevalent in this modern day extreme environments.

Welcome back to another episode of Adventures In Humaning. Once again - we're discussing why our indoor environment might be pretty extreme. This week, we chat about home living inside disconnects us from the natural circadian forces that influence the life of all living organisms. We are no longer used to being in the sun, natural light and dark cycles, and daily and seasonal temperature fluctuation. This disconnect affects important things like our hormone signaling and sleep cycles.

Ironically - the comfort zone provided by our indoor environment - is what makes it so extreme to our bodies.

You'll hear Frank & I talk about things like:

Circadian Rhythm

We are shielded from the very things that pressured us into the form we are

We adapt 100% of the time to our environment

Are we speciating?

Anthropologist of the future might look at the bones of today compared to the bones of the past and interpret a new species... I'm speculating here.

Live in accordance with the environment that informed your genetics

Surviving vs. Thriving

Sun does more than allow us to see - it’s connected to everything

Our relationship with the sun has changed

Sunblock and vitamin D - we no longer get sun naturally so we pop supplements

Sleep and hormones… shift work - shift hormones

It's important to experience a wide range of temperatures

Raynaud’s syndrome

Wall-e

Wim Hof

Common vs. Normal

This is the start of a series of shows about your Extreme Indoor Environment. Frank and I play around with the idea that the lack of conditions that we typically perceive to be 'extreme' - is in fact, extreme in the grand scheme of things.

In this episode, Frank & Meredith ponder a poem by Sam Foss, called 'The Calf Path'.

Welcome to Adventures in Humaning with Frank & Meredith. In this episode, we discuss the question, What is Humaning?

Frank and I had a discussion recently about one of my favorite poems, The Calf Path by Sam Foss (https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/calf-path). This is a clip from our conversation...

The Zoo Human is on the path. Consider making your own path.

Sometimes a placenta is really the best analog.

Coming soon: Frank and I are building a podcast about human health & wellness from an ancestral perspective. We are #humaning.

This clip is about body odor. Yep... body odor.

Is this thing on?
