About this episode

Robb Wolf discusses ancestral health principles and the impact of modern life on mental well-being.

In this insightful MTNTOUGH Podcast episode, host Dustin Defenderfer sits down with Robb Wolf—former research biochemist, 2x New York Times best-selling author (The Paleo Solution, Wired to Eat), co-founder of LMNT, and leading voice in ancestral health and metabolic performance. Robb shares his journey from powerlifting records and early CrossFit affiliates to pioneering electrolyte science with LMNT, while unpacking why modern life (screens, distractions, constant stimulation) is crashing central nervous systems and fueling numbness, complacency, anxiety, and burnout in men. He discusses the power of sunlight, real food (wild game, simple meals), community, dragons to slay, breathwork/meditation for present-moment mastery, and reclaiming an analog life amid AI/tech overload. A must-listen for hunters, entrepreneurs, dads, and anyone feeling overloaded—Robb reveals how ancestral principles + intentional unplugging can restore energy, joy, and purpose in a high-stress world.
