    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.

    97: On-air session - Daughter is having health problems, what do we do? Dec 28, 2017
    Show notes

    A mother named Tracy calls in after Chef AJ told her she was out of her league and sent her to Dr. Lisle. Tracy's 12-year-old daughter Emily has daily bowel and bladder accidents, a diagnosis of encopresis and enuresis, and a decade of failed interventions ranging from polyethylene glycol drinks to a one-hour bathroom protocol to now, at last, a recommendation for psychiatric medication. Dr. Lisle listens, asks three questions, and reframes the entire 12-year ordeal in a single sentence.

    In this on-air session, Dr. Lisle explains why the psychiatrists, pediatric GI specialists, and the Collins Protocol have all been looking in the wrong place, why anxiety is not the driver even though it sounds plausible, and why this is fundamentally a Digestion 101 problem hidden inside the pleasure trap. He walks Tracy through the exact strategy for getting a 12-year-old with a decade of learned shame to voluntarily run a grand scientific experiment on her own diet.

    Key question covered: Why do so many cases of childhood encopresis and enuresis fail to resolve even after years of specialist care, and what is the evolutionary psychology explanation most doctors miss?

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

    91: Live Callers: The Hill Climbing Trap, the Ego Trap, and What Your 20s Are Actually For Nov 09, 2017
    Show notes

    Most ambitious people assume that the point of life is to accomplish something great enough that the world remembers your name. Dr. Lisle calls this the hill climbing trap, and in this episode he argues it is one of the most consequential mistakes a creative person can make. The statue in the park 200 years from now? Birds will be crapping on it, and nobody you care about will ever see it.

    In this live caller episode, Dr. Doug Lisle walks two listeners through some of the most practical applications of evolutionary psychology on the show. With Dan from New Hampshire, he unpacks how to think about creative ambition, why you should pursue excellence for the process rather than the outcome, and why your 20s are for surveying the landscape, not specializing. With Steven from Ohio, he takes on the question of whether leaders are born or made, and delivers a sharp reframe of Carol Dweck's growth mindset research, arguing that what Dweck calls the fixed mindset is actually what Dr. Lisle calls the ego trap.

    Key question covered: If the biological purpose of life is gene reproduction, is there any point in pursuing creative passions and excellence?

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