## Resource

What if the way you feel every day isn't actually normal? In this episode of the Retire Southern Podcast, James Lewis sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Matthew Campbell to explore a simple but powerful idea. Modern life has drifted away from the conditions humans were designed for. The result is a quiet baseline many people accept without question. Tired. Distracted. A little off. Dr. Campbell breaks this down into five foundational behaviors he calls Our Primal 5. Sunlight. Sleep. Movement. Connection. And what we choose to consume. This is not theory. His workbook and app are built to help people apply these behaviors in a practical way over five weeks. One focus at a time. Real implementation, not just ideas. The conversation goes deeper into: Why your "normal" might actually be misalignment How small changes can create outsized improvements The hidden cost of modern habits and constant stimulation Why behavior leads and feelings follow If you have ever felt off but could not explain why, this conversation will resonate. Start with one. Because momentum builds.
