How does fear show up in our bodies? In this episode I'm joined by Jake Mahal to explore the way the human body has evolved to respond to fear and what happens when we find ourselves in survival mode for too long.
Jake Mahal is a metabolic health specialist and health coach who helps busy, capable people understand why they feel tired, foggy or unlike themselves and how to rebuild the energy, clarity and resilience they need to live fully again.
Together we explore how modern life itself can put our bodies into fear mode - through what we eat, how we move, our sleep, our light exposure, our environment and our relationships - and what it actually takes to build energy, clarity and resilience once we understand what our bodies are responding to.
We unpack:
What our ancestors' relationship with fear can teach us about our own
Why a spin class might be doing the opposite of what your body actually needs
What keeps us on the dopamine roller coaster - and the other three happy hormones most of us are missing out on
The difference between being stuck in fear and the occasional freak out that actually builds resilience
How to curate our environments, at home and at work, to support real human health and high performance
If you've ever normalised a low-level hum of tiredness or tension - this conversation will give you a whole new way of looking at it.
Jake Mahal is a metabolic health specialist, ancestral health coach and founder of Whole Life Health. He is a Primal Health Coach at Master Coach level and a MovNat certified trainer, registered with UKIHCA, with a background in sports science and over 20 years of coaching experience.
Many of the people Jake works with are doing their best to eat well, stay active and keep everything moving, yet still find themselves running on caffeine, pushing through energy crashes or wondering whether feeling this way is simply part of getting older. Jake helps them see that these symptoms are not personal failings. They are often signs that the body is struggling with the demands and rhythms of modern life.
