We need to rehumanize our lives, and we have to recognize that, yeah, social media, even though it says social as part of social media, it may not be entirely social, and we actually have to recognize that there's maybe a lot of people that are lonely out there and you have to be able to have real social connection with real people face to face.
Ever wondered if our natural instincts might be sabotaging our health in today's world? Dr. Robert Barrett, a social scientist and author of 'Hardwired', joins Dr. Trevor Campbell in this eye-opening episode of Healthscape. Barrett dives into how the very survival skills that helped humanity thrive are now becoming obstacles in our modern, tech-driven society. He explains how our evolutionary wiring, designed for a different era, is clashing with the complexities of today's social, economic, and technological landscape.
From the pressures of social media to the relentless pace of modern life, Barrett paints a vivid picture of how these factors contribute to chronic diseases and mental health issues. Through compelling anecdotes, studies, and historical examples, he highlights the paradox of our instincts working against us. Even children aren't spared from these harmful social pressures, which can affect their brain development and attention spans. Barrett's straightforward advice? 'Stay healthy', though he admits it's easier said than done.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that might just motivate you to take a closer look at your own habits and social interactions. Tune in for a deeper understanding of how our hardwiring impacts our health and what we can do to adapt.
