Ep 61: Frank Forencich

Pushing the edges of how we view our human form and human existence in an ever morphing world. Meet Frank Forencich. Founder/creator of Exuberant Animal, health and human adaptation expert, author, and international speaker. Are we really separate from our environment or is nature just an external organ? Why isn't sapience a word we know and endeavor to achieve? How is the "short body" view keeping us held hostage to a diminishing return both physically, intellectually, and emotionally.

Interested? Here are some of the questions we dive into:

• What is ancestral health?
• What is the "long body" view and what are the implications?
• What is sapience and why the hell don't we know about it/use it?!
• Movement v. exercise, physicality v. fitness
• The power of Umbuntu
• Descartes and non-dualism
• What is the resonance circuit?
• And so, so much more...

Listen. Be wide-eyed, forced to take a deep breath, and inspired. Smile. Share.

"Exuberant Animal offers a uniquely integrative perspective on the human predicament, a new old way of living in the modern world."

“The constant drumbeat to “see your doctor” doesn’t just steer people towards expert advice; it simultaneously steers us away from our own native capabilities. It suggests that the medical industry is the sole authority in matters of our health. And when we internalize this belief, we lose faith in our own powers of adaptability. ” -- First, Do No Medicine
