Podcasts about Hadza

If you've ever ground away on a treadmill and wondered why the scale won't budge, this episode is for you. Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down one of the most persistent myths in weight loss culture: that exercise is the key to getting thinner. Decades of research say otherwise, and understanding why is one of the most liberating things you can do for your relationship with movement.In this episode you'll learn why exercise triggers metabolic compensation (your body is smarter than any fitness tracker), what Herman Pontzer's landmark research on the Hadza people of Tanzania revealed about calorie burn and physical activity, and why even marathon training rarely produces significant weight loss. You'll also learn why exercise IS one of the most powerful predictors of long-term weight maintenance once the weight is lost, and why that distinction matters enormously.Dr. Lisa also covers the surprisingly robust evidence linking regular movement to depression, anxiety, and stress relief. This includes research showing that exercise can be as effective as antidepressants and therapy for some people. She also walks through the behavioral science of actually building a habit that sticks, covering the Stages of Change, Self-Determination Theory, identity-based habits, and why motivation is the wrong thing to chase.Thanks for listening!

Si lo primero que haces al levantarte es mirar en tu reloj o pulsera o dispositivo inteligente cómo has dormido hoy, estás cometiendo un error muy grande y hoy te voy a explicar por qué. Para empezar, todas estas herramientas de biohacking me parecen una completa idiotez sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el nombre de esta categoría «biohacking», es decir hackear la biología, hackear el cuerpo. ¿De verdad creemos que es posible hackear el cuerpo? ¿Es posible que tú seas más listo que el cuerpo? Y es más, ¿Es posible que tú seas más listo que el cuerpo usando estos aparatos que lo que hacen es ignorar los mensajes del cuerpo? Porque yo creo que esto es perder el tiempo. Y siempre he sido partidario del biofeedback en lugar del biohacking, porque creo que entender que ocurre en el cuerpo y cómo se comunica tu cuerpo contigo es más útil y más real que mirar números y gráficos en una pantalla. Y voy a poner un ejemplo real que pasó hace como 3-4 años. Era un día de primavera/verano, estaba con unos amigos en una terracita con buen tiempo, solecito, y un amigo mío me estaba enseñando el nuevo reloj inteligente que se ha comprado. Y me decía: -Mira, mira, te mide todo: Te mide las pulsaciones, la presión arterial, los pasos, el nivel de estrés…. Y yo le respondí: -¿Qué nivel de estrés dice el reloj que tienes ahora mismo? Y él miró el reloj y me dijo que le marcaba un nivel de estrés muy bajo. Y yo le dije: – ¿Y si el reloj te dijera ahora que tu nivel de estrés es muy alto? ¿Qué pensarías? Y él me dijo -Pues pensaría que el reloj está roto. Y yo le respondí -¿Entonces para qué quieres que un reloj te diga cómo estás si tú ya sabes como estas? Es decir, el reloj es completamente innecesario. Lo mismo para dormir, yo cuando me levanto ya sé como he dormido, no necesito que un reloj me diga que mi indice de recuperación es del 67% ¿Qué hago yo con ese dato? Incluso aunque tratara de mejorar ese dato cuantitativo, si ayer decía que mi indice de recuperación era del 67% y hoy que es del 75% pero ayer me encontraba mejor que hoy ¿Para qué cojones me vale ese dato? El cuerpo humano no se puede hackear, y estos trackers o dispositivos inteligentes intentan ponerle puertas al campo y te venden una falsa ilusión de control tratando de parametrizar todo con gráficos bonitos y numeros irrelevantes. que ni siquiera son reales. Porque esa es otra ¿Son fiables estos dispositivos? No tienes que preguntarselo a nadie, simplemente usa 2 dispositivos, el tuyo y el de algún amigo y vas a ver que para los datos que son menos cuantificables, como el estrés o las calorías que gastas y demás, los resultados van a ser distintos ¿Qué significa esto? Que no son fiables. Porque si hubiera una forma fiable de calcular ese dato, todos los fabricantes usarían esa forma de calculo. Por eso si te subes a diferentes básculas, el peso va a ser igual prácticamente porque es un dato muy objetivo. Pero si intentas calcular las horas de sueño profundo que has obtenido con diferentes fabricantes tendrás diferentes resultados porque no hay una manera objetiva y mucho menos doméstica para evaluar esas cosas. Con lo que no es biohackling es bioinventing. Lo mismo con las calorías y este me parece el más grave porque genera comportamientos que surgen de esos datos, y esto me pasó hace unos días hablando con una persona que me decía que yo en mis entrenamientos seguramente estuviera gastando como 750 calorías, porque ella en su reloj inteligente cuando hacía sesiones de spinning de una hora estaba gastando 600 calorías según su reloj. Y esto es absurdo, igual de absurdo que las máquinas de cardio de los gimnasios que te dicen las calorías que estás gastando mientras las usas. Esto es absurdo porque el cuerpo se adapta, con lo que estandarizar la actividad física por intensidad y tiempo para dar un resultado de calorías, es no tener ni idea de cómo se genera la adaptación metabólica a la actividad física. Porque el cuerpo humano intenta conservar la energía que pueda y cuando la gente se queda con este dato de: -Ah, en mi clase de spinning quemo 600 calorías. Lo que suele hacer es pensar que tiene 600 calorías de margen para comer. Y esto no funciona, porque ni las calorías que gastas son precisas, ni las calorías que comes son precisas. Pero solemos sobreestimar las calorías que gastamos e infraestimar las calorías que ingerimos. Por eso la gente sigue estando gorda y por eso intentar dejar de estar gordo a base de ejercicio es un error y mucho más error cuando ese ejercicio lo intentas cuantificar traduciéndolo a calorías. No se puede hacer eso, o al menos no se debería hacer porque ni es exacto, ni es útil, ni es recomendable pensar así en el ejercicio físico. Y cualquiera que no me crea se puede leer el libro Burn del doctor Herman Pontzer donde se explica el por qué hacer más actividad física no te hace a largo plazo quemar más calorías. Por eso ahora estoy haciendo este reto o grupo de caminar cada día 30 minutos. Porque de no hacerlo a hacerlo si que hay diferencia, pero en unas pocas semanas el cuerpo se adaptará y no quemaré las mismas calorías el día 30 que el día 1, aunque sea la misma actividad. De hecho, el estudio de los Hadza que también se expone en ese libro mostraba como sociedades cazadoras recolectoras donde están continuamente moviéndose todo el rato, con un nivel de actividad física muy muy superior al nuestro, y su gasto energético diario es muy similar al de un tío sedentario que esté todo el día sentado. Y dirás esto no puede ser. Si, si puede ser porque el cuerpo se adapta a aquello que le impones. Y cuando lo haces un día y otro día y otro día y otro día, el cuerpo aprende a ser más eficiente. Por eso el ejercicio físico no sirve para perder grasa. Puedes usarlo esporádicamente como estoy haciendo yo en este reto que podéis entrar si queréis aprender a perder grasa corporal. Es gratuito, lo hacemos en telegram y está en fitnessenlanube.com/caminar. Pero al final, el ejercicio no es equivalente a una cantidad de calorías y esa cantidad de calorías no es equivalente a lo que tu cuerpo esté gastando. Al menos no de forma lineal, y por supuesto no de forma que se pueda hackear. El biohacking es un invento para venderte pulseras, para venderte anillos, relojes y cualquier cosa que te haga creer que estás controlando algo que no puedes controlar, porque como supuestamente dijo Einstein: No todo lo que se puede medir se debe medir y no todo lo que se debe medir se puede medir. Así que mi consejo: Deja de confiar en estos aparatos para tomar decisiones y aprende a escuchar a tu cuerpo. Porque si aprendes a escuchar a tu cuerpo sabrás guiar al cuerpo hacia lo que necesites o lo que quieras conseguir, pero si ignoras al cuerpo y te basas en números cuestionablemente obtenidos y que son irrelevantes, acabarás en el mejor de los casos pensando que estás biohackeando al cuerpo tomando decisiones probablemente erroneas, porque te basas en datos erroneos, y en el peor de los casos acabarás obsesionado con estos números y crearás un estado de ánimo en función de lo que digan tus gráficos, y si miras tus gráficos y todo está en verde estarás muy contendo y si miras tus gráficos y todo está en rojo estarás muy triste sin valorar cómo te encuentras realmente porque cada vez que confías en que una pulsera te diga que hoy no estás muy recuperado y que tienes levantar el acelerador y no tener mucho desgaste, estás dejando que alguien te diga como estás sin valorar tú cómo estás, y eso no te conecta más a tu cuerpo sino que te aleja más de tu cuerpo porque estás buscando algo fuera del cuerpo cuando deberías buscarlo dentro. Y cuanto más te acostumbres a hacer esto, más te costará interpretar los mensajes de tu cuerpo. Es como si tienes un reloj de manecillas y cambias a uno digital. Con el tiempo te costará más leer las manecillas porque te acostumbraste al otro formato. Sé que esto no es muy popular y que lo guay es utilizar todo esto, y que te patrocinen y mostrar lo fantástico que es. Pero si quieres mejorar la conexión con tu cuerpo, deberías mirar más dentro de tu cuerpo y menos fuera de él. Al menos es mi opinión, porque como digo siempre: cuida de tu cuerpo y tu cuerpo cuidará de ti Origen

Matt returns today to explain why humans didn't evolve for silent sleep. Citing the Hadza and the brain's "open microphone," he explains how we process sound for safety even while resting. He details the "first-night effect," where half the brain stays alert in new environments, demonstrating that our ears never truly switch off.Our host weighs the benefits of noise machines for memory against the risks of dream sleep suppression. He offers evidence-based tips for parents and travelers on using sound effectively, suggesting that earplugs may be better for loud, intermittent noise. He concludes that we should seek "acoustic companionship" rather than total silence to align with our evolutionary design.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Hydration impacts cognitive performance and sleep.

David Raichlen is a professor of biological sciences at the University of Southern California whose research examines how human evolution, physical activity, and brain health are linked across the lifespan. In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan talk with David about what's actually happening in your brain when you go from couch to consistently active, why exercise might be the closest thing we have to a dementia preventative, and why his research on the runner's high, which famously involved humans, dogs, and ferrets, suggests it evolved as something more useful than feeling good.  They also get into what hunter-gatherers like the Hadza can (and can't) tell us about how to live, why "more is better" hits diminishing returns at the high end, the trouble with paleo prescriptions, and whether sitting really is the new smoking. Plus: Brendan tries to figure out if his rock-climbing mom or his golfing dad is doing better cognitive work than he is.

In part two of our conversation with Dr. Kristen Hawkes, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Utah, we pick up where we left off and turn to the broader evolutionary story that grandmothering helps tell. Building on her original grandmother hypothesis, this episode focuses on her paper "Life History Evolution Explains Features of Humanity," in which she argues that post-menopausal longevity set off a cascade of life history shifts that distinguish us from our closest primate relatives. Dr. Hawkes walks us through how grandmothering can explain features that often get treated as separate evolutionary puzzles: our unusually long childhoods, late maturity, short interbirth intervals, and extended lifespans. From there, the conversation moves into the social and cognitive consequences of this life history pattern, including pair bonding, cooperative behavior, and the distinctive intensity of human social life. She also revisits how comparisons with chimpanzees and ethnographic data from the Hadza continue to inform and constrain the hypothesis. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Hawkes, K., & Jones, N.

Fibermaxxing: Both Sides of the Argument   97% of men in the US don't meet their daily fiber requirements. Not most men. 97%. And yet Gen Z is suddenly obsessed with maximizing fiber intake, at the exact same time that colon cancer rates in adults under 50 are rising at 3% per year. That timing isn't a coincidence. In this episode we break down where fibermaxxing came from, what the science actually says, and where the carnivore counter-argument holds up and where it falls apart. What we cover: What fibermaxxing actually is, and why the 30-plants-a-week movement behind it traces back to a 2018 study involving over 10,000 citizen scientists The fiber gap: 97% of men and 90% of women aren't hitting daily targets, so "maxxing" sounds extreme when most people are just trying to close a massive deficit Steph Grasso, the RD with 2M TikTok followers who claimed 2024 as "the year of fiber" and why her comment section is a perfect case study in how people misread their body's response to fiber Why "fiber bloats me" is almost always a transition problem, not a verdict, and the ramp-up approach that fixes it Butyrate: the mechanism most people have never heard of. Fiber feeds bacteria that produce it, and it's the primary fuel source for your colon cells with documented anti-cancer properties The colon cancer data in young adults: people born around 1990 are twice as likely to get colon cancer and four times as likely to get rectal cancer as those born in 1950 The Hadza tribe research: one of the last hunter-gatherer populations on earth, eating roughly 150g of fiber a day, with 40% more gut microbial diversity than Americans The carnivore counter-argument, taken seriously: the IBS and Crohn's evidence is real, and the question of why you'd prioritize something indigestible deserves a real answer Why Gut Reset exists: prebiotics build the foundation before probiotics can take hold, and skipping that step is why most probiotic attempts don't stick The Chris Reed connection: how starting each meal with a fibrous food helped him reverse his diabetes markers, and why it's the simplest application of this science Referenced in this episode: Chris Reed diabetes reversal episode Gut Reset  Prof. Tim Spector / ZOE: zoe.com Steph Grasso: @stephgrassord on TikTok Netflix: Hack Your Health American Gut Project (2018) The takeaway: You don't need to chase 100 grams a day. But if you've been avoiding fiber because it bloats you, you likely quit before your gut had a chance to adapt. Give it four weeks done right, and see what happens.

We're joined by Ian Morris, British historian, archaeologist, and author of Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels Ian's central argument is both simple and radical: our beliefs about fairness, justice, hierarchy, equality, and even democracy are not timeless moral truths floating above history. They are shaped, constrained, and repeatedly reorganised by the ways societies extract and use energy. Across tens of thousands of years, he argues, there is a pattern beneath the chaos.   We dive into: • Why hunter-gatherer societies tended to enforce radical egalitarianism • How agriculture made hierarchy, inheritance, patriarchy, and forced labor more functional • Why fossil fuel societies unexpectedly shifted back toward equality and democracy • How values evolve like adaptations to changing material conditions • Why the industrial age expanded the moral community • Why inequality has begun rising again in recent decades • Whether we are entering a fourth great shift in human values • What energy transitions, AI, and new technologies could mean for democracy and civilisation   Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. Human Values Are Not Fixed — They Adapt to Energy Systems Morris argues that values are not random, but nor are they eternal. Over the long run, societies repeatedly develop moral systems that fit the material conditions created by how they capture energy from the world. This is not a metaphor. Morris means it in a nearly biological sense: values that match the prevailing energy regime help societies function, grow, and outcompete their neighbours — while mismatched values lead to stagnation, fragmentation, or collapse. The mechanism is cultural evolution, operating on a civilisational timescale. A foraging band that tried to enforce agrarian-style kingship would fall apart. An industrial economy run on feudal principles would be outproduced by its rivals. Morris draws on decades of archaeological and anthropological data — compiled in his earlier work Why the West Rules — for Now — to show that this pattern holds across every major region and epoch. The implication is unsettling: the values we consider timeless may be temporary artefacts of the energy system we happen to inhabit. 2. Hunter-Gatherer Life Favoured Equality In low-energy societies, people lived in small, mobile groups with little surplus and little material inheritance. Under those conditions, strong egalitarian norms were not idealistic luxuries — they were necessary for survival and cohesion. Morris draws on ethnographic evidence from groups like the Kung San of the Kalahari and the Hadza of Tanzania to show that foraging bands actively enforced equality through what Christopher Boehm calls “reverse dominance hierarchies” — systems in which the group collectively suppresses anyone who tries to accumulate too much power or prestige. The tools were social: ridicule, gossip, ostracism, and in extreme cases, targeted violence. This was not paradise. Per capita rates of violent death among foragers were far higher than in modern states. But it was a system that worked under the constraints of low energy capture. When you cannot store surplus, when anyone can walk away from the group, when survival depends on mutual cooperation, radical equality is not a philosophy — it is an engineering requirement. 3. Agriculture Made Inequality Functional Once farming emerged, people settled, accumulated land, inherited property, and built larger social structures. In that world, hierarchy, patriarchy, kingship, and coercive labour became easier to justify and more useful for organising society. Morris is careful to frame this not as moral decline but as adaptive reorganisation. Agrarian societies that developed clear lines of inheritance, centralised leadership, and mechanisms for extracting surplus labour — whether through serfdom, taxation, or slavery — were able to build irrigation systems, raise armies, and defend territory more effectively than those that did not. The Gini coefficients of agrarian civilisations, from ancient Rome to Qing Dynasty China, consistently clustered between 0.40 and 0.60 — far higher than anything observed in foraging societies. Patriarchy, too, became structurally embedded: when wealth flows through land and land flows through lineage, control of reproduction becomes an economic imperative. As Morris puts it, agrarian societies did not choose hierarchy because they were morally inferior. They chose it — or more precisely, it chose them — because it was the value system that worked at that scale of energy capture. 4. Industrialisation Reversed the Pattern The fossil fuel age created such a dramatic expansion in energy capture that it supported a return toward broader equality. Democracy, women's rights, religious tolerance, and mass political participation became more functional in industrial societies than they had been in agrarian ones. The scale of the shift is difficult to overstate. Drawing on the data compiled in his Social Development Index, Morris shows that Western economies went from capturing roughly 38,000 kilocalories per person per day in 1800 to 230,000 by the 1970s. This explosion of productive capacity required a workforce that was literate, mobile, and motivated — not coerced. Slavery became economically irrational when a free worker operating a power loom could outproduce a plantation of forced labourers. The franchise expanded because industrial states needed buy-in from the populations whose labour and consumption drove growth. The period between 1945 and 1975 — what economists call the Great Compression — saw inequality fall to historic lows across the industrialised world, a pattern Morris attributes directly to the structural demands of fossil-fuel economies rather than to moral awakening alone. 5. Moral Progress May Be Less Moral Than We Think One of the most provocative ideas in the conversation is that what we call moral progress may often be adaptation. Values spread not simply because they are truer or nobler, but because they work better under new productive conditions. Morris is not arguing that moral reasoning is meaningless — he acknowledges the role of philosophers, activists, and reformers in articulating new ethical frameworks. But he insists that these frameworks gain traction only when the material conditions are right. The abolition of slavery is his sharpest example: anti-slavery arguments had existed since antiquity, from Stoic philosophers to medieval theologians. They gained no lasting foothold until the fossil fuel revolution made free industrial labour more productive than coerced agricultural labour. In this reading, the abolitionists were morally right — but they succeeded because the energy regime had shifted in their favour. The danger in this insight, as Princeton philosopher Christine Korsgaard argues in her response to Morris's Tanner Lectures, is that it can erode our confidence in the permanence of our own moral achievements. If democracy rose with fossil fuels, what happens when fossil fuels decline? 6. The Last 40 Years May Mark the Start of a New Shift Morris suggests the egalitarian arc of the fossil fuel age may be weakening. Since the late 20th century, rising inequality and growing acceptance of concentrated power may signal the beginnings of a fourth great transformation in values. The data supports the concern. According to the World Inequality Database, the share of national income captured by the top one per cent in the United States roughly doubled between 1980 and 2020, returning to levels last seen before the Great Depression. Freedom House has documented eighteen consecutive years of global democratic decline. Morris interprets these trends not as policy failures to be corrected but as potential symptoms of a deeper structural shift: as economies move from mass industrial production toward automation, platform monopolies, and AI-driven services, the number of people whose active participation is economically essential may be shrinking. If the fossil fuel age favoured equality because it needed mass labour and mass consumption, an age of intelligent machines may not. The egalitarian values we assumed were permanent may have been contingent on a phase of industrial development that is now passing. 7. Energy Abundance Does Not Automatically Create Equality Cases like Qatar and other resource-rich states show that energy alone is not enough. The social context into which new energy arrives matters enormously; pre-existing structures can allow elites to monopolise wealth and preserve hierarchy. Qatar holds the fourth-highest GDP per capita in the world, yet ranks near the bottom of the V-Dem Electoral Democracy Index. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Brunei tell similar stories: vast energy wealth, minimal democratic development. Morris argues this is not a contradiction of his thesis but a refinement. What matters is not merely how much energy a society captures, but how many people must participate in capturing it. In industrial economies, millions of workers were needed — creating structural pressure for education, wages, and political rights. In petrostates, a tiny elite controls extraction, distributes revenue as patronage, and faces no structural need to empower the broader population. The lesson is critical for understanding the current energy transition: if the next energy regime — whether solar, nuclear, or AI-driven — can be controlled by a narrow class of technologists and capital owners, the democratic dividend may not follow. 8. The Future May Be a Contest Between Democratic and Authoritarian Models As energy systems, technology, and AI evolve, Morris sees a real competitive struggle ahead between more egalitarian democratic societies and more centralised, authoritarian ones. The question is not only what kind of world we want — but which kind will prove more effective. Democracy's advantages are significant: distributed innovation, self-correcting institutions, the ability to attract global talent through individual freedom. But authoritarian systems have their own competitive strengths, particularly in an age of AI-enabled surveillance and rapid state-directed investment. China's ability to mobilise resources for infrastructure, energy, and technology development without electoral friction presents a genuine challenge to the democratic model. Morris draws on the framework laid out by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson in Why Nations Fail — the contest between inclusive and extractive institutions — but adds an energy dimension: the outcome may depend less on which system we prefer and more on which system the next energy regime structurally favours. If renewable energy is distributed and requires broad participation, democracy may thrive. If AI and automation concentrate power, authoritarianism may prove more durable than we hope.

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Chris and Cristina are joined by Dr. Kristen Hawkes, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Utah and one of the most influential evolutionary anthropologists in the field. Drawing on decades of fieldwork with the Ache of eastern Paraguay and the Hadza of northern Tanzania, her work challenged long-standing assumptions about hunting, showing that men's hunting often functions less as direct provisioning and more as social signaling. Dr. Hawkes is also the architect of the grandmother hypothesis, a foundational idea in evolutionary anthropology. This framework argues that grandmothers play a critical role in supporting offspring when mothers have new infants, helping to drive key features of human life history, including longer lifespans, slower development, and shorter birth intervals. By integrating ethnographic data, comparative primate evidence, and formal modeling, her research has reshaped our understanding of human longevity, menopause, and social behavior. In this episode, we focus on her paper “Revisiting the Grandmother Hypothesis and Human Longevity,” where she returns to the core logic of grandmothering and its role in explaining why humans live so long compared to other apes. Part 2 (airing next week) zooms out to explore how these dynamics scale up to explain broader features of human life history and social evolution. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Hawkes, K., & Jones, N.

We dive into the often-overlooked topic of amenorrhea: the absence of menstruation. Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram unpack the science with a focus on Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) linked to energy deficiency in athletes. They explore how intense training and and sport pressures around leanness or weight can disrupt regular hormonal signals, affecting long-term bone density, cardiovascular health, and performance. They also discuss the original concept of the Female Athlete Triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density) and its evolution into RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), a more holistic model encompassing many aspects of health and wellbeing.The conversation expands into evolutionary perspectives, comparing Western menstrual experiences—from menarche to menopause—with those of hunter-gatherer populations like the Hadza, and questioning what “normal” really means. Ultimately, this episode reframes intense athletics as a nuanced practice that must be supported by adequate nutrition and recovery.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Intro & Sponsors02:45 – What Is Amenorrhea?05:40 – Primary vs Secondary Amenorrhea09:00 – Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA): Energy deficiency and hormonal suppression11:10 – Female Athlete Triad → RED-S: Evolution of understanding in sports science21:30 – The Hadza perspective: menarche to menopause25:25 – Negative consequences of amenorrhea: Bone Health  29:15 – IUD induced amenorrhea 37:00 – Historical and modern timelines for menarche compared to the Hadza 50:45 – Closing thoughts on ancient humans Links & Research Mentioned:Substack article that prompted this episode Dr Jen Gunter's article on the hormonal IUD and bone health Foraging & Menstruation in the Hadza of Tanzania Comparison between The Female Athlete Triad & RED-SConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:Ikaria Design: The Soul Seat® offers height-adjustable, multi-position sitting—get 10% off new chairs and desks with code DNA10.Smart Playrooms: Beautiful playroom design and movement-rich equipment—save 10% on monkey bars and rock-wall items with code DNA10.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram explain how just nine minutes of vigorous activity can make a measurable difference for your cardiovascular health. They break down what counts as vigorous exercise, how to gauge it “old skool” without complicated gadgets, and how much is needed based on the movement patterns of the heart-healthy Hadza. Plus, they share nine practical ways to fit short bursts of higher-intensity movement into your day, from running stairs and kitchen dance parties to treading water in a pool.The episode also explores a personal experience related to the menopause transition, including the onset of salt sensitivity, water retention, and hypertension. Katy and Jeannette discuss the link between estrogen and salt management, explaining why the loss of estrogen can make women more susceptible to salt-induced high blood pressure—and what lifestyle shifts can help protect heart health.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 — Introduction & Sponsors01:50 — Heart Health and Midlife Movement03:45 — What Counts as Vigorous Exercise?07:00 — How Much Vigorous Do We Actually Need?

Este viernes, el salón de actos Sócrates del edificio Rector Sabater, en la Universidad de Murcia, acogerá una jornada dedicada a la ciencia y la historia del sueño. El evento, organizado por la cátedra de Gomarco, contará con la participación del doctor Javier Álvarez y del catedrático en fisiología Juan Antonio Madrid, quien profundizará en cómo el descanso ha moldeado la evolución humana y los riesgos que afronta la sociedad actual.Según explica Madrid, el sueño no es simplemente un estado de inactividad, sino un proceso biológico fundamental que ocupa un tercio de nuestra vida. Durante el sueño REM, el cerebro crea realidades paralelas que han sido claves para la creatividad humana, la resolución de problemas y la cohesión social a través de mitos y narrativas. Además, el descanso actúa como un sistema de limpieza cerebral (sistema glinfático) que, mediante el líquido cefalorraquídeo, elimina depósitos tóxicos asociados a enfermedades como el Alzheimer y el Parkinson.Otro aspecto vital destacado por el experto es la consolidación de la memoria. Dormir permite que la información pase de una "memoria RAM" temporal a un almacenamiento a largo plazo; sin este proceso, los recuerdos y aprendizajes simplemente se borran. Para un adulto saludable, la recomendación se sitúa entre las 7 y 9 horas de sueño, advirtiendo que tanto el déficit como el exceso de horas pueden estar vinculados a diversas patologías.Sin embargo, el estilo de vida moderno ha "trastocado" este equilibrio. Madrid señala que la luz artificial y las pantallas ejercen una "doble agresión": por un lado, la luz azul confunde al cerebro sobre la hora del día, y por otro, la sobreestimulación informativa impide la desconexión mental necesaria antes de dormir. A esto se suma el estrés crónico y el aumento de cortisol, que mantienen el cerebro agitado "como un mar en una tormenta", dificultando el inicio del descanso.Como contraste, el catedrático menciona que tribus de cazadores-recolectores actuales, como los San o los Hadza, apenas conocen el concepto de insomnio, lo que sugiere que gran parte de los problemas actuales de sueño son fruto de nuestra desconexión con los ritmos naturales de luz y oscuridad.

You can't outrun a bad diet—but it turns out you might not even be able to outrun a good one. In this episode of A Whole New Level, evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Herman Pontzer joins Mike Haney to dismantle the "armchair view" of metabolism and explain why more exercise doesn't necessarily mean more calories burned.Drawing on his groundbreaking research with the Hadza hunter-gatherer community and global meta-analyses, Dr. Pontzer explains the Constrained Energy Model: the phenomenon where our bodies hit a metabolic ceiling and begin "trading off" energy from vital systems like immunity and reproduction to account for physical activity. This conversation reframes weight loss not as a simple math problem of "calories in vs. calories out," but as a dynamic, evolutionary balancing act.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠In this episode, we cover:The Myth of Additive Energy: Why adding a 300-calorie run to your day doesn't actually result in 300 extra calories burned over the long term.The Hadza Paradox: How hunter-gatherers who walk miles every day burn the same amount of total energy as sedentary Westerners.Metabolic Trading: How your body "pays" for exercise by dialing down inflammation, stress responses, and reproductive hormones.The Business of the Body: Why the human body acts less like a simple machine and more like a corporation reallocating a limited budget.The "Set Point" Debate: Whether our bodies are tracking pounds on a scale or the flow of energy in the gut.Practical Weight Management: Why diet is the primary tool for weight, while exercise is the primary tool for everything else.

Join us for a conversation about decolonizing research, rethinking education, and building institutions that actually serve the communities at their center. Chris sits down with Dr. Alyssa Crittenden, who returns to the show, this time as Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Dean of the Graduate College at UNLV. Since we last talked about community-based participatory research with the Hadza, her work has expanded across research, leadership, and institutional change. We discuss how she balances administration with fieldwork and what it means to advocate for ethical, community-driven science from within the academy. Drawing on recent publications in Nature Human Behaviour and Nature Microbiology, Alyssa unpacks Indigenous child socialization, the structural violence embedded in many schooling systems, and how education can provide access to literacy and credentials without erasing local knowledge. We also explore the difference between “community-inclusive” and true community-based participatory research, the pitfalls of the word traditional, the value of tiered informed consent, and what equitable international collaboration looks like in practice. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Hays, J., Dounias, E., Ninkova, V. et al.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: >ul> Dr. Dawn presents a whimsical "theme park tour" of the upper gastrointestinal tract, from saliva production triggered by sight and smell of food, through the esophageal sphincter's iris-like opening, into the stomach's pH-1 acid bath where parietal cells produce 3,000 mg of hydrochloric acid per meal. She explains protective mechanisms including the bicarbonate layer beneath stomach mucus, H. pylori's role in ulcers, and how H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors work—cautioning about long-term PPI effects on B12 and calcium absorption. The tour continues through the pylorus into the duodenum where pancreatic enzymes and bile converge, then along the 23-foot small intestine with its tennis-court surface area of villi absorbing nutrients, iron in the duodenum, most nutrients in the jejunum, and B12 requiring intrinsic factor in the ileum. Dr. Dawn explains why pancreatic cancer—projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030—is so deadly, using a medieval castle metaphor. The tumor microenvironment acts as an impenetrable moat of desmoplastic stroma made of fibroblasts, collagen, and hyaluronic acid that blocks drugs and immune cells. Over 90% of cases have K-RAS mutations acting as growth accelerators that also thicken this protective barrier and increase CD47 "don't eat me" signals. She discusses emerging treatments including K-RAS inhibitors, PARP inhibitors for BRCA mutations, and combination immunotherapies showing 67% response rates, while noting that CAR T-cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors alone fail because they cannot penetrate the stroma. Dr. Dawn summarizes Duke researcher Herman Ponzer's work using doubly-labeled water to measure total energy expenditure, revealing that humans burn 20-60% more calories than other great apes when adjusted for body mass. His surprising finding: Hadza hunter-gatherers walking 8-14 kilometers daily burn the same calories as sedentary Americans—the body compensates by reducing energy spent on inflammation and stress responses. This "constrained energy expenditure" model explains why exercise alone doesn't cause weight loss, though it remains crucial for preventing weight gain, reducing disease risk, and potentially tamping down harmful stress responses.

In this episode, Sally sits down with Dr. Lara Briden, naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Repair for Women. She's been called the period revolutionary—and after this conversation, you'll understand exactly why.We talk about the massive paradox in women's health:Society suddenly worships estrogen and progesterone when women hit their mid-40s……yet spent the last 60 years casually switching those same hormones off in teenage girls.Yep. We're going there.What We Get IntoWhy regular ovulation is not just “nice to have” — it's literally how young women make hormonesHow we got stuck in a 60-year loop of shutting down women's ovarian function (hint: the pill's “regulate your period” pitch started as a cover story)The weird disconnect between medical guidelines that say periods are a vital sign… and the normalization of medicating them awayWhat a healthy period actually looks like (spoiler: it shouldn't hurt and it shouldn't require you to white-knuckle your way through PMS)Why so many modern symptoms aren't “women being women”—they're the result of environment, lifestyle, and a system that never prioritized female physiologyAnd the big one: Did menopause evolve? Or is it some biological glitch because women are living longer?The Mic-Drop MomentsLara breaks down why menopause absolutely evolved on purpose—and why humans are more like killer whales than we thinkThe “grandmother effect” and why older women have always been essential for the survival of the tribeThe wild fact that among the Hadza, and other traditional-living communities, menopause brings zero symptomsThe reality that our cycles are meant to be signals, not punishmentsIf You've Ever Thought…“I guess this is just how my period is.”“This is normal for my age.”“Maybe my hormones just hate me.”…this episode might flip your worldview upside down (in a good way).About Dr. Lara BridenLara practices in Christchurch, New Zealand, helping women navigate PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and other hormone-health challenges. Her work bridges biology, history, anthropology, and real-world clinical wisdom.

"I struggled to complete the fifth pushup, and I was horrified because it used to be 50 on my knuckles per set. What happened to me?" - Eric Edmeades I've been fascinated by ancestral nutrition since my early days studying with Dr. Loren Cordain, but nothing prepared me for what I learned from Eric Edmeades, who has spent 15 years living with the Hadza people in Tanzania. As an honorary member of one of the last true hunter-gatherer tribes, Eric has witnessed firsthand what our bodies were designed for—and why our modern approach to ancestral health for women is missing critical pieces. His insights about their three-day limit on depression, their natural relationship with food scarcity and abundance, and their incredible physical resilience have completely shifted how I think about midlife health challenges. What Eric discovered about their seasonal eating patterns and why they never develop the diseases plaguing our society will make you question everything about your current wellness routine. Pick one "hard thing" and commit to it daily for the next 7 days. Whether it's cold exposure, a challenging exercise (pistol squats, anyone?), or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator – choose something that makes your inner voice say "I don't want to do this." Notice how your relationship with discomfort changes by day seven.   What you'll learn: How to unlock your body's three metabolic modes – including the "junk food fall" trap that keeps most women stuck in weight gain cycles Why the Hadza people don't experience depression beyond three days – and the simple movement solution that could transform your mental health The truth about executive function – how modern comfort is literally rewiring your brain for weakness (and what to do about it) How seasonal eating patterns can reset your metabolism – without restrictive dieting or counting calories Why "doing hard things" isn't just motivational fluff – the neuroscience behind building unshakeable confidence through physical challenges The missing link in most exercise routines – how to move like your ancestors to boost lymphatic flow and prevent disease How to break free from the "zoo mentality" – combining ancestral wisdom with modern convenience for optimal health span The surprising connection between adventure and longevity – what anthropologists discovered about comfort versus vitality Love the Podcast?

Send us a textWhen Eric Edmeades discovered that changing his diet could eliminate chronic infections, clear his skin, and help him lose 35 pounds in just 30 days, it sparked a lifelong mission: to understand how food and evolution shape human health.In this episode, Eric reveals the evolution gap—the mismatch between our ancient biology and modern lifestyles. Despite living in the most comfortable era in history, we face epidemics of disease, depression, and disconnection. Why? Because we're living out of sync with our natural design.Through decades of research—including time with the Hadza tribe in Tanzania—Eric created WildFit, a revolutionary approach that has transformed over 150,000 lives. Instead of another restrictive diet, WildFit restores our natural rhythms of eating and living.We dive into:The three natural metabolic states—and why most people are stuck in just oneThe hidden power of seasonal eating and extended fastingWhy some foods give us freedom while others keep us trapped in cravingsHow reconnecting with nature can help us reclaim vitality and joy✨ Ready to uncover your own evolutionary mismatches?

Send us a textHuman metabolism, primate evolution, and modern health challenges with evolutionary anthropologist Herman Pontzer.Episode Summary: Anthropologist Dr. Herman Pontzer discusses human evolution and metabolism, comparing humans to primates like chimps and gorillas to explain our higher energy use, bigger brains, and longer lives despite trade-offs in reproduction and activity; they discuss dietary shifts from plant-based to hunting-gathering, metabolic adaptations, and modern issues like obesity, where exercise aids health but diet drives weight loss, emphasizing ultra-processed foods' role in overeating and the promise of new drugs like GLP-1 agonists.About the guest: Herman Pontzer, PhD is a professor of evolutionary anthropology and global health at Duke University. He is the author of books like "Burn" and "Adaptable," which explore how bodies adapt to diets, activity, and environments.Discussion Points:Humans burn 20% more daily energy than other primates (controlling for body size), enabling big brains, more babies, and longer lives, but requiring efficient food strategies like hunting and gathering.Unlike apes, humans evolved smaller guts, higher body fat (15-30% vs. apes'

In this eye-opening episode, Michaeleen Doucleff returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to dive deep into the art of fostering independence and emotional autonomy in children. She shares transformative insights from her travels around the world, revealing how different cultures empower children by encouraging initiative rather than constantly telling them what to do. Michaeleen explains how small shifts in our parenting approach—like trusting our children to contribute meaningfully to the household—can drastically improve behavior, strengthen family bonds, and promote emotional regulation. Michaeleen discusses the importance of including children in family life and how this inclusion nurtures their sense of responsibility and belonging. From her experiences with the Maya, Inuit, and Hadza, she highlights the universal parenting practices that teach children to observe, respond, and contribute without the pressure of a chore chart or constant direction. This conversation is a must-listen for any parent who wants to build a calmer, more cooperative home while empowering their children to thrive with confidence and initiative.

The human gut microbiome is tightly linked our health. Our analyses of diverse human populations from around the globe, ranging from hunter-gatherer to industrialized, show that the gut microbiome is profoundly influenced by lifestyle. With a large collaborative team, we conducted deep metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbiomes of Tsimane horticulturalists from Bolivia and compared them to those of Hadza hunter-gatherers from Tanzania. We are also investigating whether diet and microbial therapies can address deficiencies in the industrialized gut community. Molecular mechanisms of host-microbial interaction are pursued using an array of technologies and experimental approaches including gnotobiotic and conventional mouse models, quantitative imaging, and a metabolomics pipeline focused on investigating microbiota-dependent metabolites.

We are also investigating whether diet and microbial therapies can address deficiencies in the industrialized gut community. Molecular mechanisms of host-microbial interaction are pursued using an array of technologies and experimental approaches including gnotobiotic and conventional mouse models, quantitative imaging, and a metabolomics pipeline focused on investigating microbiota-dependent metabolites.

Eric Edmeades is often referred to as the “Indiana Jones” of the professional speaking world. He has been traveling to Africa to visit the Hadza, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer groups, since 2007. We talked about rites of passage, how ancestral living solved his health issues, lessons from his time with the Hadza, how to overcome evolutionary mismatch in Western society, founding WILDFIT, and much more.

Episode 435: Rebuild Your Microbiome The Meat: What are the top 3 ways to rebuild your microbiome and the health of your gut? You want an INVINCIBLE microbiome! We're giving you the keys to the car. Number #1: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome…KEFIR. (Not the store bought stuff). Traditional, home fermented kefir. You can get powders from Cultured Food Life (our partner). Even those who think it's too hard… You can do it! You get up to 50 strains of healing bacteria… Drink daily if you can. Purchase Easy Starter: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/easy-kefir-powder/ Number #2: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… BAOBAB. Up to 2-3 TBSP per day Regular baobab consumption significantly increases gut microbiome diversity, as seen in both Hadza tribespeople and modern users, supporting better metabolic health. Baobab helps lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, partly due to its tartness and powerful polyphenols like epicatechin and procyanidins. It naturally promotes GLP-1 production, mimicking the effects of some blood sugar-lowering medications, especially when combined with kefir. Baobab is 70–80% fiber, with two-thirds being prebiotic, which fuels gut bacteria and leads to the creation of health-boosting postbiotics. Buy Our Baobab: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/baobab-boost-powder-11oz-bag/ Number #3: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… Fermented Plants. Compared to high-fiber foods alone, fermented veggies show significantly stronger and faster gut-health benefits. Fermented veggies increase gut microbe diversity, improving whole-body health and immune function. They help lower blood lipids, reduce inflammation, and support healthy weight and blood pressure. Fermented foods reduce the activation of immune cells and decrease inflammatory proteins like interleukin 6. The Power Veggies?

Does exercise make you feel happy? How does sitting all day make you feel? These seem like easy questions to answer. But let's face it, even with our standing desks, our modern lifestyle makes it really easy to be sedentary more often than we'd like. We invited David Raichlen, a Biological Anthropologist whose fascinating research on how human evolution has shaped our need for physical activity to the podcast to really uncover how all this sitting is impacting our health, especially our brains. David has some great advice on how to grow your brain at any age and how to keep moving even when every convenience of our lifetime gives you the opportunity to just do nothing instead. Don't let your evolved drive to conserve energy fool you. Exercise is the magic pill that will benefit every part of your physiological system. And it doesn't have to be complicated. Whatever activity suits you, do that. Because the best exercise for physical and cognitive health is the one you will do.  https://www.raichlenlab.com/https://dornsife.usc.edu/heb/(00:01:07) Welcome David Raichlen, Biological Anthropologist to the podcast.(00:05:58) Is the happy feeling that comes with exercise an evolutionary survival mechanism?(00:10:33) Can humans actually grow their brains at any age?(00:15:40) Will the brain shrink without exercise? And can exercise lessen the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's? (00:22:40) How much less we are moving in today's world and a look at the Hadza.(00:25:57) Has the brain adapted to a sedentary lifestyle?(00:30:15) Will weight loss drugs decrease motivation for movement?(00:35:50) The benefits of exercising in green spaces and simplifying movement.(00:39:07) The biggest health outcomes and impressive gains statistics.(00:47:57) Does the kind of exercise we are doing matter when it comes to brain health?(00:55:33) Is working out with somebody a bigger bang for your buck when it comes to brain health?(00:58:00) Best food to improve brain function.

Quand on pense à la vie à la Préhistoire, on imagine souvent une existence brutale, courte, marquée par la chasse, les maladies et les dangers constants. Mais quelle était réellement l'espérance de vie des hommes préhistoriques ? Spoiler : c'est plus nuancé qu'on le croit.Selon une étude publiée en 2007 dans Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences par Rachel Caspari et Sang-Hee Lee, les populations humaines ont connu une augmentation progressive de la longévité à partir du Paléolithique supérieur, il y a environ 30.000 ans. Les chercheurs ont analysé des crânes fossiles et ont constaté qu'au fil du temps, le nombre d'adultes âgés augmentait dans les populations humaines, signe d'une meilleure survie à l'âge adulte.Mais avant d'aller plus loin, précisons un point important : l'espérance de vie à la naissance est une moyenne, très influencée par la mortalité infantile. Chez les Homo sapiens du Paléolithique, elle était estimée entre 25 et 35 ans. Cela ne signifie pas que tous mouraient à 30 ans ! Cela veut plutôt dire qu'un grand nombre d'enfants mouraient avant 5 ans. Ceux qui atteignaient l'âge adulte pouvaient vivre jusque 50 ou même 60 ans, comme l'indiquent plusieurs restes squelettiques.Des travaux publiés en 2011 dans Nature par le paléoanthropologue Erik Trinkaus ont montré, en étudiant les fossiles de Néandertaliens et d'Homo sapiens, que la proportion d'individus âgés était assez comparable dans certaines régions au Paléolithique. Cela suggère que la survie à un âge avancé n'était pas aussi rare qu'on le croyait.Autre point crucial : le mode de vie. Les chasseurs-cueilleurs vivaient dans des groupes mobiles, exposés aux blessures, aux infections, mais aussi à des régimes alimentaires variés. Ce mode de vie, bien que difficile, pouvait parfois être plus sain que celui des premières sociétés agricoles, où la sédentarité, la promiscuité et la dépendance à une seule source alimentaire entraînaient malnutrition et maladies.Aujourd'hui encore, certaines sociétés de chasseurs-cueilleurs comme les Hadza en Tanzanie ou les Tsimané en Bolivie montrent que, malgré l'absence de médecine moderne, des individus peuvent atteindre 60 ou 70 ans si l'enfance est bien passée.En résumé, l'homme préhistorique n'était pas condamné à mourir jeune. La forte mortalité infantile tirait l'espérance de vie vers le bas, mais ceux qui passaient les premières années pouvaient vivre étonnamment longtemps. Alors non, nos ancêtres n'étaient pas tous des vieillards à 30 ans… bien au contraire ! Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome to part five of the B.rad podcast highlight series! In this episode, we dive into the juicy, interesting, and possibly controversial topic of diet. You will hear quotes from some of my favorite guests and key moments over the years, focusing on my “meat and fruit” lifestyle—the animal-based, protein-centric, nutrient-dense eating style that I’ve honed through years of experimentation and immersion. We’ll revisit my first interview with Dr. Paul Saladino from 2019, when he was first starting to rise and drive the increasing popularity of the carnivore diet movement, plus hear compelling insights from other experts. If you want impactful, eye-opening quotes on diet, protein-centric eating, and the animal-based approach, this episode is a must-listen! TIMESTAMPS: Animal organs, nose to tail, are the most nutrient dense foods in the diet. [00:50] Plants are the backup foods. Plants have defense chemicals that can be toxic depending on your sensitivity. [03:16] Fruit is the least objectionable type of food. The longer you cook something, the more you degrade the nutritional value. [09:26] If you do have a history of digestive distress or an assortment of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, it is highly likely that you can draw a correlation to the foods that you consume in your diet. [15:03] Try an experiment on yourself if you have any digestive discomfort. Eat just steak, salmon, and eggs for a week or two. See if your diet should change. [16:53] Much information about ancestral nutrition has come from studying the Hadza. [18:55] We have to make a clear distinction between natural nutritious carbs and the nutrient deficient, heavily processed carbs, [21:47] Fasting periods will result in greater nitrogen loss no matter how fat adapted you are. [28:25] Timing of food goes hand-in-hand with timing of being asleep and awake. [30:13] “You simply will not get fat if you eliminate processed foods.” (Dr. Robert Lustig) [32:26] Jay Feldman says: “If we were to evaluate the use of interventions like ketogenic diets, calorie restriction, or intermittent fasting, we would see that they're generally a terrible idea because they're disastrous for energy production.” [37:15] If you are going to take supplements, get the very best, highest quality, highest potency, least objectionable form. [42:37] We humans can have issues like mental health that relate to our diet. [45:53] Be aware of the stress impacts of what you are doing with fasting or cold plunge and such activities. [47:42] If you buy the 2 or 3 dollar chocolate bar, you are no doubt supporting child labor and ripping off the farmers. [51:56] The body has a natural, deep-seated biological drive to survive. And its most prominent dietary need is to consume sufficient protein.

What can we Westerners learn about raising intrinsically happy, self-sufficient, and helpful children from the Maya of Mexico, the Inuit of the Arctic Circle and the Hadza of Tanzania? Well, it turns out, a lot!WEIRD cultures (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) have been making parenting unnecessarily more difficult than it was designed to be. From helicopter and free-range parenting, to distracting children instead of intentionally involving them in quotidian household responsibilities, we are unwittingly becoming the source of our modern-day parenting grievances.With the help of Michaeleen Doucleff, mother and New York Times best-selling author of one of our favorite reads, “Hunt Gather Parent,” we break down modern-day parenting myths and turn to our much wiser, indigenous peers for the practical tips we're all yearning for when we are in the trenches of motherhood.Resources: Buy "Hunt, Gather, Parent" from Michaeleen's website!Let Grow: Leading the Movement for Childhood IndependenceSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

Kristen Hawkes' "Grandmother Hypothesis" provides a fascinating perspective on human evolution, menopause, and the unique social structures of humans. This theory posits that the long post-reproductive lifespan of women evolved because grandmothers played a critical role in supporting their descendants. By helping care for grandchildren and providing resources like food, grandmothers enhanced the survival and reproductive success of their families, which indirectly passed on their genes favouring longevity and cooperative behaviour. These contributions are thought to have driven distinct human traits, including increased brain size and social complexity, by encouraging intergenerational support and skill-sharing To view full show notes, more information on our guests, resources mentioned in the episode, discount codes, transcripts, and more, visit https://drmindypelz.com/ep273 Kristen Hawkes PhD MS BA examines foraging and social strategies among hunter-gatherers to shed light on human evolution. Her work includes three projects focused on life history evolution, aging in captive chimpanzees, and understanding fire's effects on foraging payoffs, all informed by ethnographic studies of the Ache in Paraguay and the Hadza in Tanzania. Observations suggest that men's hunting primarily serves status competition rather than provisioning, while grandmothers play a crucial role in supporting their grandchildren, especially when mothers have more children. This aligns with the grandmother hypothesis, which explains human longevity and highlights differences between humans and chimpanzees, such as longer lifespans despite similar fertility rates and a male-biased sex ratio. Mathematical modeling underscores the impact of grandmothering on post-menopausal longevity, shorter birth intervals, and social behavior. Kristen Hawkes continues to collaborate on data collection and analysis to enhance understanding of ancestral foraging strategies and aging in captive chimpanzees.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram, discusses a recent study on sitting time, standing time and circulatory risk. They cut through the media hype and explain what the study shows and why any prolonged static position might have health consequences. Katy and Jeannette contrast our cultural norm of being in the same position for many hours a day with the diverse resting positions of the Hadza, a hunter-gatherer group with low cardiovascular risk but also a large amount of rest time. Katy explains how repetitive positioning generates higher pressure in specific locations in our circulatory system setting us up for injury, whereas varied positioning and light movement keeps the cardiovascular system supple and the pressure distributed throughout our system.  Jeannette and Katy touch on other issues to do with repetitive positioning including mobility and discomfort and offer practical suggestions for supporting your mobility and cardiovascular health while stationary.
