Beat Your Genes Podcast
Let's look at life through the lens of our ancestors. Our instincts were shaped by their struggles in an environment much different than our current environment. Our instincts haven't changed much but our environment has changed dramatically. We blend the science of evolutionary psychology with the clinical experience of Doug Lisle, PhD to explore common problems and stumbling points in our pursuit of happiness. New episodes come out Wednesdays at 8:30 PST. If you have a question or comment, or maybe even a complicated situation that you'd like some advice on, feel free to call us and leave a voicemail at (714) 900-2601 or send in a question through www.BeatYourGenes.org

Absolutely outstanding!

I found this podcast by total chance. I have always been very interested in human nature, for example I’ve always wondered how did someone like Eminem, who was very clearly abused make it all the way to the top in life…? He’s not lying down in the gutter crying, he’s a millionaire! The answer: he was born with exceptional genes that lead him down his path! WOW! I particularly have had more of an interest in figuring out myself, like a driving force that’s been encoded and I can’t escape it. And I needed to know what that was! NOTHING has ever made more sense to me than the way human nature is described here…. FINALLY the answers! At first I went through a great deal of emotions, thinking this podcast was very dismissive and wrong. However, something about it rang more and more true as I listened and as I grew to understand. It’s harsh but it’s true! I sadly think this is so far ahead of its time these ideas will take a very long time to be accepted. I can’t say thank you enough for the explanations. It was the cold glass of water or slap in the face I needed. My situation is still not ideal and will continue to be a source of depression if I don’t change it, BUT just by being able to understand it, I feel this huge weight lifted off of me! I am normal. Nothing is drastically wrong with me today because my father was a narcissist by nature and my mother was bipolar. (Although I realize they probably passed some of this to me and I need to learn how to sort that out better in my environment) Of course I’m unhappy in my environment right now. I’m a tired exhausted mess with two little kids. The trading system with my husband has been seriously thrown off. I get it now! I feel this great sense of ease in my nervous system. I took a personality test only to discover I’m not as bad as a I thought I was. I’m actually very average(ish 😂) and that has such a good feeling to it. Same with the IQ test. I thought I would have a very low IQ based on how poorly I did in school. Turns out it’s very average at 108. Not the best but not where I thought I was. My environment in childhood was an on going depressive episode. Of course I had low self esteem. But I was able to recover in a way my sister could not…. I always wondered why… This feeling of relief is almost overwhelming…. The first day I discovered this podcast I listened so intently and for so long I had an actual headache. I’ll be here listening to all of it! Pop psychology was the rocks in my way, and you guys are the bulldozer! THANK YOU!

Dr. Lyle is judgemental and arrogant. Presents as somewhat misogynistic. I listened to multiple episodes and couldn't get past him calling people "idiots" whose ideology doesn't align with his.
A very smart podcast

I have been listening to this podcast since its inception. Every episode offers valuable insights that can help you to better navigate the world. Nate, Doug and Jen (in no particular order!) are brilliant, funny, authentic and compassionate.
Cannot get enough of this podcast

I’m constantly on the prowl for intellectual stimulation. I’m stuck here permanently. I listen to Dr Lisle and I know that he’s right. In addition, four major issues I’ve had have been resolved. Bonus! I WILL see him in a seminar live as soon as it is feasible.
Great, except

Lots of great insights into evopsych and practical advice. Could do with less paranoia about WEF
Wasn’t looking for politics
