    Beat Your Genes Podcast

    Evolutionary psychology with Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Nathan Gershfeld, D.C.

    Most psychology advice treats your brain like a broken machine. Beat Your Genes starts somewhere different: your instincts aren’t broken. They’re just optimized for a Stone Age environment that no longer exists.

    Dr. Lisle – Evolutionary psychologist, former Stanford lecturer, and co-author of The Pleasure Trap – has spent decades developing frameworks that explain human behavior from the ground up.

    Nathan Gershfeld, D.C. – trained first as an electrical engineer and then spent 14 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic. He brings a systems thinker’s curiosity to every conversation. He mostly lets Dr. Lisle talk.

    Topics include relationships and attraction, self-esteem, personality, depression and anxiety, willpower, the ego trap, and how pushy people exploit agreeable ones.

    380+ episodes. New episodes every other week.

    138: Older vs younger generations, applying Evo Psych, genes vs environment Oct 11, 2018
    Show notes

    1. Why do many older people complain of younger people "ruining" the world. Is this contempt built into us as we age? 2. Evo Psych makes sense, but how should a therapist apply this knowledge to a client/patient? 3. If I'm born a disagreeable jerk, can I beat my genes in a simliar way that a person with genes for heart disease/cancer can beat their genes?

    135: Finding the Source of Depression: An On-Air Session Sep 20, 2018
    Show notes

    Most people assume depression that has no obvious cause is a chemical mystery. Dr. Lisle says that is almost never true. Depression is failure feedback from three specific domains of life, and the job is to find which one is pushing on you.

    In this on-air session, Dr. Lisle walks a listener named Amy through her life systematically, checks work, checks friendships, checks romance, and lands on the real source of her depression: the gap between her A-plus effort on a clean vegan diet and the B-minus results her body is producing. He explains why that gap registers in the nervous system as failure, how weight frustration leaks into the mating domain through Stone Age mate-guarding instincts, and why the subtle hidden calories of dried and concentrated foods are almost always the culprit when clean eating stalls. He then gives Amy a practical Pleasure Trap protocol to close the final gap.

    Key question covered: Why am I depressed for no reason when I do everything right on diet, sleep, and lifestyle?

    Beat Your Genes is co-hosted by evolutionary psychologist Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Dr. Nathan Gershfeld, DC.

    New episodes every other week.

    134: Nostalgia, Studying for MCAT, Getting asked health questions Sep 13, 2018
    Show notes

    Does bad weather trigger feelings of nostalgia which in turn results in more feelings of optimism and higher self-esteem? A listener is stuck trying to study for the MCAT but caught in the ego trap. Dr. Lisle's "seem strategy" works to get others to stop challenging us about our healthy diet but what can we do if we want to show off our knowledge?
