Modern health problems are rarely caused by weak willpower or lack of discipline. They come from something deeper: a complete disconnect from how humans are designed to live.

In this episode of Eat’s Healthy Podcast, recorded right after a 12km training run for a planned 400km London-to-Le Mans challenge, I break down what I call our Flintstones roots — the basic human needs we’ve buried under diets, fitness programs, apps, supplements, and productivity hacks.

This is not another episode about macros, workouts, or motivation.

We talk about:

• Why real food isn’t a diet
• Why movement isn’t an exercise plan
• Why sleep isn’t a productivity tool
• How lack of purpose, goals, and direction directly affects weight gain, recovery, appetite, and health
• Why two people can eat and train the same way — and get completely different results
• How modern environments work against common sense
• Why most 3-month transformation programs fail long-term
• How loneliness, artificial light, constant stimulation, and speed quietly destroy health
• Why calling health “optimization” misses the point entirely

This episode challenges the idea that health needs to be impressive, tracked, or extreme. Health was never meant to be optimized — it was meant to be stable.

If you feel tired, inflamed, unmotivated, stuck in cycles of dieting, or constantly “starting again,” this episode will help you ask a better question:

Which part of being human have I removed from my life?

No tactics. No checklists. No trends.

Just common sense — before it became an industry.

Listen if you’re tired of chasing fixes and want to rebuild health from the ground up.
