Hello and welcome back to the show. This is Evan Brand. Today we're talking with Dr. Aaron Blaisdell, who is a psychology professor at UCLA, and he is also the president of the Ancestral Health Society. So if you're familiar with the convention, AHS, this is your guy.

So we had a pretty fun episode today.

I mean, I didn't plan questions specifically.

We just kind of free float about his experience.

He works in cognition labs over at UCLA, just basically studying animals and why they do what they do and

figuring out their brains and that kind of ties into humans a lot because we've talked on

the show before about how grains can inflame the brain with Dr. Ford and just we've talked with

Nora about what stress is doing to people's brains that people have never seen before.

So, I mean, we've really got to start questioning our modern life.

And if it's helping us, then cool.

But if it's not helping us, then how do we safely separate ourselves from that?

How do we integrate into modern life, but then have the ability to pull away and go relax?

You know, that's something that I'm a huge proponent of.

I mean, people, we have to do this because otherwise we're going to go down the wrong path of stress.

And extreme and chronic stress, de-evolves the brain.

And so some of his and his colleagues' research is showing showing just that that the brains are actually going backwards.

We're not keeping going.

So anyway, I hope you enjoy the show.

And if you take a couple minutes to review it in iTunes, I would greatly appreciate it.

So thank you so much.

Hello, everybody. This is Professor Aaron Bla Blaiselle. Just call me Aaron. Not so formal, like some of the people, the more the MD kind of doctors.

And I study animal cognition and comparative psychology. I like to try and figure out how animals think. That's the main kind of, that's my main job, basically.
