Book Description
The lack of balance and the failure of regulation in life has traditionally been recognized in such extreme symbolic acts as overconscientiousness or a criminal lack of conscience. This volume shows how the neurotic process affects biologic functions, distorting natural functioning. Three distinct functions and their respective extremes are discussed: eating (obesity, bulimia nervosa), sleeping (insomnia, excessive somnolence), and sex (hypersexuality including child molestation, hyposexuality including inhibited sexual desires).

Book Description
Written by two adventurous biohackers, "Eat, Sleep, Sex: the human (re)evolution" can be considered an anti-prescription to the conventional wisdom of how most of us live our lives today. This book is for the outsiders, the twenty-first century lifestyle enthusiasts, and for those who are fed up with the fad diet. We have identified food (and some other important things) as the starting point for this discussion. In these pages you will not find any 10 week diet plans, over the counter fixes, or pop culture...those are for the majority (and if you have not already noticed, it isn't working out so well for them). If you are looking to hack your lifestyle, optimize your health, and upgrade your performance, then join us on an adventure to discover your true potential through the Caveman Diet and the Primal lifestyle.
