Performance Intelligence Podcast

Modern humans are the most overweight, depressed, medicated and addicted cohort of adults that has ever lived. Our genome has not changed in over 45,000 years, but the world has changed enormously and there are multiple mismatches with modern life. Homo Sapiens thrived because we could hunt down prey with the tools we made, ate a range of natural foods from the environment and led highly physically lives. Now, most of us sit on our backsides all day, more than 50% of our diet is made up of ultra-processed foods and thermoneutral environments are making us soft. Comfort is literally killing us!
Paul Taylor is an exercise psychologist, nutritionist and neuroscientist who is currently completing a PhD in applied psychology. He is Director of the Mind-Body-Brain Performance Institute and is host of the MindBodyBrainProject podcast. Paul recently published his first book called Death by Comfort.
