    002 - The right dose of stress

    You haven’t been truly cold, truly hungry, or truly out of breath in longer than you can remember. By almost every measure, human life has never been this comfortable. So why do so many of us feel soft, fragile, and vaguely unwell? Here’s an uncomfortable idea: the comfort itself is part of the problem. Your body was built to expect a certain amount of hardship — and quietly falls apart without it. The name for this is hormesis: the right dose of stress is what makes you stronger. New podcast episode is up, including the study where giving people antioxidants during exercise made their workouts worse. Turns out the discomfort was doing the work. Comfort isn’t the enemy. Permanent comfort is. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit primordialprotocol.substack.com

    001 - Your Body Still Thinks Its 12000 BC

    You wake up tired. You feel anxious for no reason you can name. And underneath it, the quiet suspicion that this is somehow your fault. Here’s a different idea: you’re not broken. You’re mismatched. Your body was built for a world of walking, hunger, darkness, and real rest. Then, in roughly twelve thousand years, we built a completely different one — and we’re still running the old hardware inside it. The first Primordial Protocol podcast episode is up: what evolutionary mismatch actually is, why the popular “paleo” version gets it wrong, and the hunter-gatherer study that quietly breaks the story we all tell about movement and calories. You’re not a broken modern person. You’re a superbly adapted ancient one. This is a public episode.
