Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner August 20, 2026 Duration: 45:19
How can we turn the tide away from fast food, video games, and sleepless nights in our modern world filled with distractions, marketing temptations, and tasty highly-processed treats?  Matt Campbell, PhD is a clinical psychologist who noticed over his many years of practice that patients were often depleted and exhausted.  He wrote and published a workbook called Our Primal 5: The Simple 5-Week Guide to Self-Care.  Ramsey and Matt focus in this episode on giving practical advice on how to make the healthy choices become the easiest choices.  Matt’s Primal 5 are sunlight, sleep, movement, connection and consumption, which track closely to Ramsey’s Better Before Burnout strategies of waking, eating, moving and sleeping.  This is a great episode to help you translate those basic but elusive foundations from aspirations to celebrations.  Learn more at ourprimal5.com.
