    Are We Just *Modern Zoo Animals*? The Ancestral Mismatch (Part 2)

    *The air you breathe, the light you see, and the water you drink have all been quietly sabotaged by modern life—here's how to fight back without ripping your house apart.* Episode Summary In this episode, we shift from last week's hormesis deep-dive to the second weapon in your ancestral mismatch arsenal: your environment. You'll discover how degraded air quality, flickering LED lights, contaminated water, and invisible EMFs are silently wrecking your sleep, fogging your brain, and loading you with toxins—then get a practical, budget-friendly environmental audit you can start this weekend. Question of the Day 🗣️ What's one thing in your living or working environment you've always suspected might be affecting your health—but haven't done anything about yet?  Key Takeaways Your environment may be undermining your health more than your diet or exercise routine—air, light, water, and EMFs are the invisible variables most people ignore. Modern indoor air quality, fluorescent lighting, treated water, and constant wireless exposure create a toxic soup our biology was never designed to handle. You don't need a full home renovation to make a meaningful difference—standalone HEPA filters, incandescent bulbs, countertop RO systems, and airplane mode are powerful starting points. A basic environmental audit is one of the highest-ROI health moves you can make with minimal cost. This is part two of a three-part ancestral mismatch series—next week: food.

    Are Blue Light-Blocking Glasses Really A SCAM?! (& What To Look For In A Healthy Lightbulb) With Matt Maruca

    Full Shownotes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/bluelighttruth  In this episode, Matt Maruca, CEO and co-founder of Ra Optics, dives deep into the science and practical realities of blue light, circadian health, and optimizing your environment for better sleep and longevity. We tackle the nuances of blue light exposure from sunlight versus artificial sources, break down how proper blue light-blocking glasses can support melatonin production and overall wellness, and bust common myths—including those from recent documentaries and reviews. Along the way, Matt shares updates on the latest lens technology, why not all blue blockers are created equal, and the future of lighting and color therapy for health. Matt Maruca is the founder & CEO of Ra Optics, the leader in premium blue light protection eyewear. Matt founded Ra Optics after a decade-long journey to improve his own chronic health issues as a child and teenager. As he looked further, he came across the science of mitochondria, circadian rhythms, and how light influences these factors—playing an essential, but overlooked, role in our health and well-being. He became fascinated by entrepreneurship, and decided that he could use the in-formation that helped him to help others. Matt also created The Light Diet, a diet that directly addresses the root of the modern, chronic disease epidemic and mitochondrial dysfunction. Matt now spends his time traveling the world, studying and teaching about the relevance of light in human health cycles with a focus on reversing this situation, as well as integrating science with ancient Eastern wisdom.

    Are We Just *Modern Zoo Animals*? The Ancestral Mismatch (Part 1)

    Why Comfort is Slowly Killing You—And the Ancient Mismatch Making You Sick How modern life has turned us into zoo animals—and the simple stress strategy our ancestors used to stay strong, lean, and disease-free. Over the past five weeks, I’ve given you my perspective on the biohacking and longevity scene. I’ve noted the emptiness and time-wasting that can result from the vain pursuit of immortality so often seen in the “advanced” health optimization world (if you missed any of my articles, you can read them here). Episode Summary In this episode, I dive into why chasing biohacking gadgets and anti-aging protocols misses the bigger picture: we're living in an environment our biology was never designed for. I'll reveal the concept of "ancestral mismatch"—how our caveman bodies struggle in our temperature-controlled, food-abundant, movement-starved modern world—and show you how strategic doses of discomfort (hormetic stress) can reverse chronic disease. This isn't about becoming a caveman; it's about getting the basics right that actually move the needle. Question of the Day 🗣️ Which ancestral mismatch hits you hardest—too much comfort, too much food availability, or too little movement? And what's ONE hormetic stressor you could add to your day starting tomorrow? Key Takeaways We're zoo animals now — Just like captive animals die from metabolic disorders instead of predators, we've traded acute ancestral struggles for chronic modern diseases. Comfort gradually kills — As my friend Gary Brecka says, aging is "the aggressive pursuit of comfort," and our temperature-controlled, movement-free existence accelerates biological entropy. Hormesis is the antidote — What harms you in large doses (exercise, cold, heat, fasting, plant toxins) builds resilience in small, strategic amounts. The ancestral mismatch is everywhere — We have caveman biology operating in a world of 24/7 hyper-palatable food, climate control, and desk work. Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: Is biohacking a waste of time?00:49 – The truth about stem cells, peptides & anti-aging modalities01:47 – What is the ancestral mismatch?03:06 – Why we can't go back (and shouldn't want to)04:29 – The hormesis principle I live by: small stress = big resilience05:23 – Exercise damage builds muscle (in the right dose)05:50 – Sauna reduces all-cause mortality06:06 – Plant toxins (gluten, lectins, saponins) make you stronger06:38 – Fasting for 12–16 hours vs. extended deprivation07:16 – My daily hormesis checklist (lift, sweat, cold, plants, sunlight)07:54 – Next episode preview: I'll show you how to build your own home "blue zone" Connect & CTA 🎯 👉 Get these thoughts delivered to your inbox every week—subscribe at BenGreenfieldLife.com/newsletter and join the conversation with your comments and questions.
