Children climb, jump, roughhouse, throw and creatively use objects like sticks and stones because those physical abilities have been crucial for the survival of our species for an incredibly long time. \\n\\nYet biology and evolution are incredibly complex and when it comes to human health, it can be easy to fall into the trap of reductionism. There will never be any diet or movement routine that can act as a definitive cure-all for the entire population. Even routines that work wonders for one person can be ineffective or detrimental to another person, so it\\u2019s highly important to keep an objective mindset and pay attention to nuance when looking to build a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. \\n\\nThe fact that our evolutionary heritage is both highly relevant and staggeringly complex means that we should look to experts like our guest Spencer Wells to draw insights from that can help ground our understanding and make better decisions about our health as modern day humans.\\n\\n\\u27a1\\ufe0f See full notes on the companion blog:\\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/emp-podcast-ep-55-spencer-wells/\\n\\n---------------\\n \\n\\u26f0\\ufe0f Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats:\\n \\nNothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!\\n \\nWe take only 20 people per retreat and there is no other experience like it in the movement world! \\n \\n\\u2705 Check it out and Consider Applying Here:\\nhttps://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/retreats?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=retreat_rtts_2020\\n \\n---------------\\n\\n\\U0001f570\\ufe0f SCHEDULE\\nNew Podcasts are uploaded every Monday.
