This is where the minimalist idea and perhaps also to some degree where paleo has come a little bit

unstuck is that the concept of phylogeny or the looking back to evolution to inform how we should move

or how we should eat or how we should live is a

rock solid idea. The challenge to us is that we haven't grown up or we haven't as

individuals developed to handle some of those stresses.

Welcome to Living 4D with Paul Chek. Today's guest is Czech faculty member Matthew Walden.

Matt has a master's degree in osteopathic medicine and is an editor for the prestigious journal of body work and movement therapies.

Based in the UK, Matt is a health and performance consultant for Corporations, and is well known for his dynamic

delivery, insightful information and his ability to convey complex topics in an easy to understand

way.

All right, well, I'm super excited today to explore evolution with my buddy and Czech Institute instructor Matthew Walden as I'm sure

you heard in the introduction he's a naturopathic physician osteopathic physician

highly skilled clinician, someone I really enjoy hanging out

with and talking to and sharing with because he's one of the most intelligent people I know and we have a lot of fun discussing everything

from fossils to God to life and society and people and health problems and you name it. We talk about it and we explore it.

So Matthew, what a great opportunity to explore evolution with you.

Absolutely, thanks for inviting me, Paul.

I'm really looking forward to it.

So Matthew, can you give us just an overview of your training and your interests in evolution

so that our listeners have a sense of where your perspectives may have may be rooted?

Yeah, sure.

So my formal sort of professional training is an osteopath as you mentioned in a naturopath.
