Why are chronic illness, fatigue, and plummeting testosterone rampant in the most “advanced” nations on Earth? Host Todd Vande Hei argues it’s simple: we’re ancient hardware running on futuristic software. Our hunter‑gatherer genes are drowning in a tech‑soaked, climate‑controlled, hyper‑processed world—and the gap is making us soft, sick, and tired.

In this solo master‑class, Todd breaks down:

• Mismatch Theory 101 – from EMF overload to blue‑light insomnia, why modern comforts clash with Stone‑Age biology.
• Mitochondria under siege – oxidative stress, ATP drain, and how poor cellular “battery life” drives brain fog, low mood, and stalled fat loss.
• Hidden hormone wreckers – microplastics, seed oils, and indoor living that tank testosterone and fertility.
• The Wheel of Health framework – an inside‑out approach to body comp, hormones, gut health, detox pathways, orthopedic resilience, and mental fitness.
• Daily Discomfort Protocol – practical ways to rebuild resilience: 15K steps while you work, heat & cold cycles, wired tech swaps, blue‑light curfews, clean air & water fixes, and nutrient‑dense whole foods.
• Why “soft” equals misery – and how small, intentional stressors spark mitochondrial biogenesis, stronger immunity, and the physique results you actually want.

If you want six‑pack abs, sharper focus, and a body that hums like new hardware—start by treating health as a skill and training your ancient design to thrive in the 21st century.
