The evolutionary perspective is a key theme across the podcast episodes, providing insights into the neurological and behavioral changes that have emerged through the process of evolution.

For example, the episode 'Top Brain Expert Reveals Why Women Are More At Risk of Alzheimer's & Cognitive Decline and What They Can Do to Prevent It with Dr. Lisa Mosconi' explores the 'grandmother hypothesis,' which suggests that menopause may have evolved as an adaptation to allow women to contribute to the survival and reproduction of their descendants.

Similarly, the episode 'The Polyvagal Theory and Trauma with Dr. Stephen Porges' discusses how the autonomic nervous system has evolved to help humans and other mammals respond to threats and seek safety, which is a key aspect of the Polyvagal Theory.
