Key Points
Given the mismatch between our ancestral and modern habitats in multiple domains of human life, and the evidence for the role that mismatch plays in compromising in health of the brain, minimizing mismatch through game level interventions is the first, and most impactful, step in protecting and optimizing the brain’s hardware.
By combining this holistic, evolutionarily informed, systems-based approach with the tools and techniques of modern medicine, we have the opportunity to not only stem the tide of chronic disease, but lead lives of sustained well being.
