Uncivilized Vitality

What is Uncivilized Vitality?

Uncivilized Vitality ™ is a program of Health & Happiness Optimization in which lifestyle changes are made, mimicking certain aspects of pre-civilized hunter-gatherers, allowing us to achieve the ancient state of Eudiamonia: a life that is serene, joyful and enthusiastic. The basic premise is simple: many aspects of civilization have been terrible for our health and well-being. Diseases of civilization are on the rise. (Obesity, anxiety, depression, cancers, heart attack, strokes, diabetes, etc.) Being too civilized is killing us! Our program shows you how becoming more Uncivilized can improve your way of life.
