Patrick’s Topics

According to the American Psychological Association, we are in the midst of an unprecedented epidemic of poor sleep, anxiety, and depression. One major theory to explain this is a mismatch between our genetic blueprint and our modern environment. In this presentation, we will examine health and wellness from an evolutionary perspective and learn how to incorporate simple habits that build resilience to stress, promote high quality restorative sleep, and encourage metabolic fitness. By understanding our ancestral lifestyle and dietary patterns, we can understand what needs to be done to become a healthy human in any environment.
