This week, I’m diving into five challenges from our evolutionary past that could help you feel sharper, calmer and more resilient.

We’re not talking about going full caveman. But what if these ancient stressors are part of how we’re wired to thrive? 🤔

I go into…
00:00 Why ancient habits can transform your health
02:55 Fasting and fasted exercise
11:32 Mild thirst (intermittent hydration)
22:25 Plant compounds and resilience
29:00 Heat exposure
39:11 Cold exposure
49:57 Putting it all together

The key is dose. Not too much, not too little. These aren’t replacements for healthy habits, just small extras that might make a big difference.

Caveat: This area of research is still evolving. Not all ancient humans lived the same way. There wasn’t one perfect lifestyle. While the theory behind intermittent living is fascinating, it’s not a prescription. It’s an invitation to be curious about how our biology responds to challenge.
