Ancestral Health and Fitness with Jameson Mohammadi

In our latest episode of the Matcha Guardians podcast, we welcome health specialist Jameson Mohammadi.He brings a unique perspective to health and fitness, drawing on his background in anthropology and health science. He runs Black Wolf Training, focusing on educating people about movement, nutrition, and behavior through the lens of human evolution. We can learn from our ancestors regarding health, and these insights can guide our modern lifestyle choices. 

The conversation shifts to the impact of parental behavior on children's physical activity levels. Jameson highlights research showing the significant influence active parents have on their children's likelihood to engage in physical activities. This leads us into a broader discussion on the challenges posed by sedentary lifestyles and strategies to incorporate more physical activity into our daily routines.

Jameson also talks about the concept of the "pain cave," a mental state during intense physical exertion, and offers advice on how to push through this discomfort to achieve fitness goals. Furthermore, he critiques modern footwear for not aligning with natural foot anatomy and advocates for shoes that promote a more natural foot function.

For each person's indvidualized fitness plan, it's important for Jameson to ask questions and learn about all aspects of their life - from activity to sleep and more.   This is why Crossfit, while beneficial to many, can often lead to injuries.   This leads into a discussion about Elara, Diana, and Jameson's favorite and....shall we say overated....exercises.   We cover plank, deadbug, walking, biking, and more.

We wrap up the episode by sharing personal lessons on the importance of community and the power of taking a moment to breathe for overall well-being. Throughout the episode, we cover a wide range of topics related to health, fitness, and the impact of lifestyle choices on our physical and mental health, all grounded in Jameson's expertise and experiences.
