The Evolution Gap: WildFit, Modern Food Environments, and “Mismatch” Living

About this episode

Regan Archibald discusses evolutionary mismatch and modern food environments with Eric Edmeades.

Regan Archibald sits down with Eric Edmeades (creator of WildFit) to explore the idea of “evolutionary mismatch”—how modern environments, routines, and food systems can pull people away from the conditions humans historically adapted to. Eric shares stories from multiple immersive visits with the Hadzabe in Africa, including lessons about food priorities, movement, and seasonal eating, and contrasts those patterns with rapid shifts he’s observed in places like the UK, Estonia, and Dubai as ultra-processed foods and convenience culture spread. The conversation also touches on behavior change, the role of mood and environment in food choices, and Eric’s “Gap Finder” assessment—an evaluation designed to help people identify everyday lifestyle “gaps” and choose practical next steps, combining ancestral insights with modern tools and coaching programs.
