Primalhacker Radio is Back! The conversation explores how modern living conditions, particularly stable room temperature and unvaried diets, affect our biological responses and health. Thaddeus discusses the implications of these factors on our bodies, including fat storage and cortisol levels, suggesting that our ancient biological pathways are underutilized due to a lack of environmental and dietary variability.TakeawaysOur bodies are waiting for a winter that never arrives.We are so indoctrinated to living at room temperature.Our bodies are never experiencing any flexibility in temperature.Most of us have ancient pathways built into our DNA.We never change up our diet in any way.All of these things are telling our biology that it’s the end of summer.We should store fat for the coming winter.We should increase cortisol to keep us awake and alert.All of that is leading us to become fat and sick.We eat the same things all year round.You can also catch this on Youtube Get full access to Primalhacker’s Substack at primalhackerofficial.substack.com/subscribe
