| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today's show is part of a multi-episodic series |
| 0:12.5 | here on the podcast titled The Comfort Trap, the Ill Effects of Chronic Ease. In this project, |
| 0:20.8 | I explore a profound yet oft-overlooked |
| 0:23.5 | paradox of modern life. Our relentless pursuit of ease and convenience is leading into a very |
| 0:30.8 | inconvenient epidemic of chronic dis-ease. Throughout this audio program, I will leverage my mythical hunter-gatherer ancestor |
| 0:40.7 | Fedge Ansark, yes, just my name spelled backwards, as the benchmark for comparing |
| 0:47.4 | ancient and modern living conditions. The comparison elucidates modernity's comfort-induced evolutionary mismatches and their |
| 0:58.2 | knock-on physiological and psychological impacts. The comfort trap audio program is available in its |

| 2:15.5 | Music after this short break. Hey, it's Jeff, and I'm aiming to take better care of my skin, which we should all be doing. |
| 2:22.3 | After all, it's our largest organ. |
| 2:24.3 | So for 10 minutes every day, I wear a face mask. |
| 2:28.3 | That's right, but not just any old face mask. |
| 2:31.3 | I'm wearing the bond charge red light face mask. Now you've heard me talk about their |
| 2:36.3 | infrared sauna blanket, which I love and I bring to all my retreats. A red light therapy really |
| 2:42.7 | works. It penetrates deep into the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, calm inflammation, |
