When you think of our early ancestors what comes to mind? Cavemen? Well it might be more complicated than that, but at the base of this tenet the objective is to move. Its hard to believe that our ancestors even up to about 100 years ago had any real means of refrigeration and food storage so they had to use what they got to the fullest and then go out and Hunt for more. Hunter/gatherer tribes as well as agricultural tribes still had to move on a constant basis to have the means to survive. How do we transfer that into our daily lives? How do we honor their sacrifice and hard work with our daily practices? In todays episode Jess and I cover all the aspects of moving and the main ideas to think about when structuring your workouts, daily routines, and lifestyle to live as healthy as possible.
Whats the point of eating? Why do we eat? And are you in control of what you're eating? Our ancestors found the most incredible ways to survive the harsh environments they were in but the world today is so much more complex and the information out there can get so muddy. Join me this week as we dive into what it is in food that our bodies are searching for and why our bodies need certain foods. The percentages of macro nutrients will be different from person to person and the goals from person to person will always be different but on a cellular level, do you really think our bodies are much different?
What does living ancestrally mean to you? Living your life with the same gratitude, intensity and vigor that our ancestors had to have to survive can and will give your life purpose that can and will change your entire outlook on life itself. The first step to changing that is fixing your sleep. There isn't a single aspect of your physiology or psychology that isn't effected by your quality of sleep. What chronotype are you? What did you have for dinner, and how long did you wait after dinner to go to bed? When was the last time you changed your nightly routine to improve your sleep quality? Join me as we dive into everything sleep related.
