200: Eric Edmeades - Closing the Evolution Gap

Author: Dr. Anthony Gustin July 6, 2024 Duration: 1:07:03

Eric Edmeades is a globally recognized authority in health, practical psychology, and behavioral transformation. He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about closing the "Evolution Gap."

 

For the past 15+ years, Eric has made extensive trips to live with the Hadza Tribe of Tanzania, one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer societies. He even organized the trip Dr. Gustin ventured on with Dr. Paul Saladino!

 

Eric's deep immersion and the insights gained from these experiences have significantly informed his work in the health and wellness industry.

 

His book Postdiabetic offers a holistic, actionable 9-week plan to tackle prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. 

 

His newest book, The Evolution Gap, explores how the mismatch between our slow biological evolution and rapidly innovating modern lives impacts our health and well-being.

 

Tune into this episode to hear them discuss:

  • How Eric's unique family history sparked his interest in human evolution

  • The profound changes experienced by the Hadza Tribe since Eric first began visiting

  • Eric's evolutionary health journey and vegan vs. Paleo diets

  • Why it's easier to get diabetes today than it was 50 years ago

  • The "Evolution Gap" and why Eric believes almost every physical and mental condition erupts from that space

  • Using natural and artificial solutions to "close" the gap and align our lifestyles more closely with the rhythms/systems our bodies were designed for

Dr. Anthony Gustin operates from a simple yet profound premise: health is our default setting. His The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin is built on the idea that so much of what we call illness or fatigue stems from a mismatch between our biology and the world we've built. This isn't just another health podcast offering quick fixes. Instead, each conversation is a deep, practical exploration of how to construct a life that aligns with our fundamental needs. You'll hear from a carefully selected roster of experts-nutrition scientists, innovative fitness practitioners, and researchers who are redefining their fields. The discussions move beyond surface-level advice to examine the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, low energy, and chronic stress. What makes this podcast particularly valuable is its commitment to translation; complex biochemistry and physiology are broken down into actionable insights you can use immediately. Episodes regularly delve into the nuances of ancestral eating patterns, the science of strength and movement, and the environmental toxins that disrupt our systems. The goal is always clarity and application, providing a roadmap to strip away the noise of modern health trends and rebuild what Dr. Gustin calls a proper human environment. Tune in for thoughtful, evidence-based dialogues that empower you to reclaim the vitality that should be your natural state.
