I hated sport at school, and it instilled in me a hatred for intentional exercise because I was forced to do sports I hated, with peers I didn't get along with. On the rare occasion that I enjoyed a sport, we'd play it 1 term and never again. Exercise as part of school is a great idea in theory but if approached wrong it just turns a lot of people off exercise in general! (at 41, I've finally found some forms of exercise I enjoy, yay!)
I had the same experience. I had a couple of teachers who made it feel like it was punishment, I was undiagnosed with asthma and was bullied by the teachers when I said I couldn't breathe. At the same time, we lived 1.5km from school and I had to walk or later ride my bike, we played on a very interactive playground (not like the "safe" ones now where all you can do is walk around or go down a slide - I swung on monkey bars, chain bridges, or hanging ropes all recess), I had weekly swimming lessons (I didn't particularly enjoy the lessons but did love playing and later did distance swimming for fun), as a young adult I learnt belly dance and still do some. Now, in my 50s, with chronic illness, I still love going for a morning walk in the forest adjacent to my daughter's school. I also enjoy gardening although I don't do that every day. Something I've noticed is that many neurodiverse kids HATE school sports, but will find a niche activity like archery, bush walking, horse riding, dancing, etc. We need to make school far more adaptable to different needs.
There is so much more to exercise than organized sports. In fact it's not even the best way to get fit. I love sports but I don't think that they should be pushed on people as the standard of exercise. There are so many ways to move your body that don't involve competition.
@@IusedtohaveausernameIliked agreed! I'm not a competitive person but even some non team sports (like martial arts) you get pressured to compete for the club you are in (and the costs of being in a club + uniforms etc. can be excessive too!). Most of my exercise nowadays is solo; cycling, a rudimentary home gym and VR. I go hiking with a group every other weekend but there's no charge unless the location has one.
I find Dr. Lieberman to be incredibly knowledgeable and level headed when it comes to exercise and nutrition. I have read both his books and am looking forward to reading the next one.
I know this for a fact my adult child has never walked - from birth due to disability and the effects of not walking are real on every aspect of life - brain health and metabolic health. and that's on a diet of good food not junk.
@@beerman204 because the ‘protocols ‘ are exercise the 100 year olds have do while conducting everyday life…gardening, walking to see friends, etc. They do not go to the gym or spend hours working out. Read The Blue Zones by Michael Pollen.
Ppl die early more due to what they eat than how much they move. It’s important to exercise, but futile if you’re eating processed foods or lots of animal protein or dairy.
I love to exercise, as a kid I was very active. As an adult, always gone to the gym. Lifted, ran, swam, biked. Did races, did triathlons. At 66, I’m walking, biking, lifting, hiking, dancing…l
Correct your diet first. That gives you energy that you want to use. Activity, especially focused exercise, makes you stronger and happier with your physical image. It takes very little exercise to achieve visible improvement. At age 81 I am amazed at the rejuvenation I have experienced.
Morley Robbins, Dr. Cate Shanahan, Dr. Chris Knobbe, Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Dr. Barry Sears, Dr. Don Layman and Mary Ruddick all have key, not well known information regarding how to be well.
After weeks travelling around the UK I find being able to eat healthy very very hard. I have found over the years that if you want to eat healthy you have two options, live in a more prosperous area or shop in a more prosperous area, the cost of food from grocery stores or fruit and vegetable shops isn't much higher but the choices and abundance of less processed foods is. Look at McDonald's etc and they concentrate around lower socioeconomic areas and schools, and grocery stores in those areas have a higher content of unhealthy and 'fast' foods.
Exercise is a piss poor way to lose weight. Exercise makes you hungry. It is important to eat the right food. You cannot outrun a bad diet. And out obesity problem is not because of lack of exercise. Exercise is important but that is not why we are all fat. Eating processed food designed to increase hunger has turned us into machines for the food industry. Highly refinded foods based on carbs switches off satiation. This means that the more you eat the more you want to eat. Hunter/Gatherers, even in times of plenty never got overweight because they were evolved to be satified with the food available to them. So eat meat, fish , eggs and greens. Remember that we are not evolved to eat wheat, - pasta, bread, cakes. Root vegetables were rare and fruit was tart and small. But also seasonal. Honey was a one in a blue moon treat. Sugar was otherwise unknown. The supermarket system presents fake food; over grown fruit and veg all year round, and food-like substances in plastic and crdboard packets.
Exercise is good, but it's definitely not the answer to any of the problems he's trying to address. What you eat is far more important than exercise, but it's not all the animal products cited in these comments. It's a better balance. That's the science.
Dr. Lieberman's book, "Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do is Healthy and Rewarding" is an amazingly well written, thorough and humorous read that is packed with useful information and research sources. :)
High performance is possible with optimal nutrition. Without the nutrients we can’t function as well. We have come away so far from what is natural. Proper human diet.
Believing quacks and quack claims is dangerous. Stick with dietary guidelines and run from weird diets based on false claims about human evolution and fallacious reasoning (eg the appeal to nature fallacy).
@@tomgoff7887 Sure. Cover your eyes and ears and just ignore the evidence based medicine being validated every day. Ignore the near miraculous turnarounds in tens of thousands of people's health. Good call - observational myopia for the win!
Loved this, but the biggest problem we face is that there is no money to be made from promoting healthier lifestyles v billions made in food and healthcare sectors. Strong political lobby from these sectors adds resistance.
Exercise is Great for energy balance, hormones go up, and for spending more energy and avoiding being fat but if you are not spending energy it causes inflammation, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and keep your brain fit, but irs not enough for loosing weight you will have to be aware of calories density. ❤
Great guest, great questions, great podcast. I do find it ironic though that in one breath we've got an expert telling us we shouldn't feel stressed about getting 'eight' hours of sleep, that in fact humans have evolved on much less, but then you're sponsored by 'eight sleep', a company that purports you need to spend thousands of pounds on a high tech mattress topper in order to get adequate sleep. The health and wellness industry is full of these types of high cost 'solutions' to complex, often very unique and individualised problems. You might justify it as a none issue because it's only well resourced individuals that are paying for these 'silver bullet' solutions, but you need to think about the individuals that can't and the anxiety and the general feeling of I'm not-doing-enough this can cause. I do wish we could live in a world where people like yourselves can make a respectable living educating the masses, whilst not simultaneously exploiting peoples fears and insecurities. This isn't unique to HPP - every podcaster is at it these days.
didn't listen to the entire thing, was glad the show notes were all categorized tho, after hearing him say in the intro "how much better exercise was compared to pharmaceuticals" i was wondering what he'd say about how much better the studies are for showing how much better an optimal diet is...than even exercise(because there are studies that have tried to tease out which is better for human health, exercise or diet, and diet is obviously even more important let alone all the studies proving how much better diet is when compared to pharmaceuticals) but alas he must not have researched into the diet aspect as well as he could have(as we all could and should)! his claims that we humans evolved eating "anything" or that we could "eat only meat like the inuit" when even i know that the inuit don't eat "only meat" and it's super easy to go to pubmed dot gov and to try to find ANY studies that show some kind of a "benefit" for human health/longevity for either a carnivore/high fat/keto type diet and no studies exist and surely it's not because corporations like the atkins people/fast food/animal agriculture/etc surely all have tried to do multiple studies on carnivorous/keto/high fat type diets but eating that way is not only super unhealthy for humans(so unhealthy that the studies that do exist even claim that the diet MUST be temporary, a few days or a week at most, because it's so obviously unhealthy that it's unethical for researchers to feed any/all humans like that) not only do these diets cause many diseases but the inuit are currently some of the most unhealthy humans on earth BUT even the "ancient inuit" they've uncovered well preserved were riddled with disease/heart disease at young ages and some of the ancient accounts of other groups meeting or interacting with the inuit that do exist will mention how they didn't see "elderly" inuit people(like where are all the inuit centenarians) and before modern testing/equipment one could try to deduce that the environment was so harsh where the inuit live that this must have prevented them from becoming old but now we know because we've tested them/their remains that they not only have a genetic mutation that keeps them from going into ketosis as quickly but they didn't "only eat meat" there are snowberries and other plants that they regularly had to consume and we know that they're "high fat diet" was super unhealthy for them now and always through history! sure now that most of them eat all the highly processed poison plants and even worse poisoned animal/fish too(like animals and fish without us making them more toxic were already poisonous to us humans to consume on any regular basis but now we've poisoned the animals so much more that they're even worse for us to consume!), so sure now the inuit are even more sick BUT if one also looks at the populations overall and see's if/are there any groups of humans who do outlive other groups who don't have diseases like so many other groups including the inuit do? and diseases(cancer/depression/alzheimer's/heart disease/obesity/etc) are much lower or almost or even "nonexistent"(not because researchers don't or can't look/not because of their genes/mostly because of the way they eat and partly because of their lifestyle, so even i partially agree with this guy, that exercise is important BUT the science shows diet is WAY more important)?! certain diseases are actually non existent in some groups and it's not because they eat the standard american diet but just exercise more!!?? sure pharmaceuticals can provide a minimal amount of help/health BUT should be used as a "last resort" after diet and lifestyle interventions with an emphasis on diet!...let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food...we(humans) have theoretically "known" the truth for centuries but now are able to prove it without a doubt! yet we still have "harvard" profs(surely being directly or indirectly funded by corporations instead of funded by the truth/science! like the other commenter pointed out!! hmmm) trying to convince us otherwise?! sorry but personally i no longer have time for that obvious nonsense i'm sure he "knows" a lot about exercise but there are plenty of "experts" out there touting how great exercise(obviously) is, but so why is he also not able/willing to tout the benefits of a whole foods plant based diet because the science exists proving that much?! i would have watched the whole thing except for his incorrect views on diet make me skeptical about the rest of whatever he's saying...
Exercise might on average lower the risk of death from colon cancer but not always. My husband was a fit, strong mechanic, on his feet all day, who regularly went hunting in a nearby mountain range for pleasure and would rather chop thistles on our hilly farmlet than watch TV. Yet he was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer at 54 and died aged 61. Misdiagnosis by 3 incompetent GPs meant the cancer wasn't picked up much, much earlier. So exercise and fitness isn't a cure-all.
Very true !! Keeping on top of cancer seems like largely-at least a matter of luck and the fact that one of my college friends is a retired doctor who keeps me pushy , especially regarding cancer. I am 76 and would undoubtedly be dead or dying of cancer right now - but for LUCK !! That’s ridiculous. It shouldn’t be that way !! There are plenty of diagnostics to detect cancer but they are not readily available unless you have a person pushing you to push your provide LOTS !!! Stupid ! Stupid !! STUPID !!!
you'd have to look into the studies. His statement irked me. It's most likely that it's hard to match the control groups very well with the intervention groups, i.e. I assume that it's a correlation but at best only partial causation. Meaning, people who exercise at least some significant amount per week, also on average make other healthy life style choices, like eating healthy, not smoking, not drink any alcohol or very little, more outside activity. So in effect, there has to be a confounding effect and I dont know for sure if those studies he is talking about corrected for that.
that's quite early, you should check other close relatives of his, if there is a history of cancer (or if they have got the screening colonoscopy). Also if you have children they should have an early colonoscopy compared to the average population, probably like at latest by the age of 35, possibly earlier.
Get a couple of dogs to run with everyday..it is something to watch /interact with as you run..and the dogs love it..especially if you have two or three becase they play ..dogs really love to run with you..swim.and play games with you..
I work with women who have gestational diabetes. It's been my observation that if a woman is physically active for at least 1 hour a day for 5 days...they never had problems keeping their blood sugars under control.
Unfortunately, numbers weren’t on my side. Worked out all my life, healthy diet and diagnosed with breast cancer. Not aggressive and caught it early. Always take the stairs if I can and have weight trained and HIIT for 20 plus years.
Same here. Although breast cancer is often related to emotions, (I believe it was for me) in particular a traumatic loss. Look up German New Medicine, their research shows that loss of a child often affects the left breast (in right handed women) whilst loss of a job/partner/pet affects the right breast. Fascinating.
@@snapadam I don’t. The Oncologist surgeon had me tested. Some doctors who have actually looked at studies are saying that most if not all cancers are not genetically driven.
@@sportysbusinesswow, interesting… my mom had it in her left breast and she lost her son/ my brother… 🤔 my mother in law had breast cancer also and had a mastectomy…she lost her son also years ago, and sense has lost two more sons! Can’t remember which breast tho…
@@sportysbusiness unless emotions lead to smoking, drinking or other harmful activities, emotions absolutely dont cause or contribute to cancer. the idea of a cancer personality has also been long debunked. "German new medicine" is quackery.
My observations are different: persons I knew who lived longer than 95 live a non-active lifestyle. On the other hand, people I knew looked healthy and active lived relatively short lives (less than 80).
True thst it's way more complex than "beimg active". Too many factors to predict anyone's life span. Activity in retirement is an important factor though, because many die soon after ceasing to move around - irrespective how active they've been until then. Movement sometimes _is_ life, and lack of it _can_ deteriorate health of entire system, shortening the life. However, there are apparently more important factors. Genetics, still uncoded, play important part, as without serious illness there are a point where cells just switch off as if by a command. But most important from my knowledge is stress - rather a lack of it. One reason you notice inactive people living longer is that these kind of people (i'd guess especially in US) don't stress their psyche as much as sporty types. Those taking life with peaceful mental state (regardless of lifestyle, it comes from inside, but for most environment plays a role) and having good diets usually are majority of long lifers. My friends from Bulgaria and Greece had grandmothers without a single gray hair well into '90s. I guess it's genetics too, but asked the secret of long life and lucid mind, they all responded - live without letting stresses in you and eat meditteranian way, with lots of fresh olive oil. Most wouldn't have this mindset, environment and opportunity to be on the same diet in US. Culture are a factor too. Everything seems to be a factor for longevity, but balanced and active lifestyle is a key to health. One doesn't equate other, unless you get really sick.
define non-active. in what eras did they live. Considering they must have been born at least around a hundred years ago, by today's standards they most likely had a very active lifestyle. It was just integrated in their every day life. Taking the stairs, not using a car to go one block, manual labor in the garden or at work, less sitting at home in front of a tv but rather going out to eat, or the movies or the theatre. Most people of that age were in some kind of club, dancing or whatever.
Did you take their dna scan? 😂 It’s like saying you saw a Michael Jordan and that’s a gold standard in Basketball. But all of us don’t have a gene to be Michael Jordan but we can still benefit from playing basketball.
I appreciate Lieberman’s approach. It is very practical and scientific. It is different than some of the pseudoscience out there of popular researchers pushing supplements and their products, which ultimately makes them wealthy.
This guy is wrong about estrogen in the luteal phase. Ugh. Its not super high in the luteal phase; its highest in the follicular and ovulatory phase. Then it steeply drops, then it slightly raises again but is considered not to be high due to the ratio of estrogen to progesterone in the luteal phase. He is correct about progesterone being high in the luteal phase. He is making it all very unclear for people though. He also talked about cancer in relation to estrogen in the luteal phase. Again, he is really oversimplifying something. Luteal phase estrogen levels are not the issue. Also, it's not all so simple as estrogens and progesterone... There's other things involved... FSH, LH, and others, and the interplay is very important
Totally disagree with the diet comments, there is an optimal diet! And it’s a clean whole food diet, without added chemicals, absent of sugar, seed oils, and highly processed no foods. You don’t necessarily need to eat optimally, just be cognizant of it and do your best. As far as diet, it also has to be livable to be able to maintain it….
Brisk walk 21 Minutes Per day is the Way to start. We are made to be physically active - always walk when possible dont use the eskalators - so learn to enjoy to keep moving - 🎶🖤🎵
I exercise an hour everyday alternative walking and going to the gym. I’m also garden, cleaning and just moving. I eat low carb, high protein, mod healthy fats and eat clean whole food. Avoid sugar and seed oils. But I do enjoy a glass of wine each night.
I don’t believe it’s either/or when it comes to exercise and a healthy diet. Both are equally important and beneficial to our health and well being. Whilst you cannot out run a terrible diet, conversely a good diet is not going to undo all the effects of a sedentary lifestyle with little to no exercise. We are made to move and carry and lift heavy things. We are also adapted to thrive on whole foods, wherever they be found on the planet. We are not adapted from an evolutionary perspective to eat an ultra processed diet developed in laboratories and made on an industrial scale with all sorts of nasties thrown into the mix.
I wish they had delved a LOTTTT deeper into what KINDS of exercise is BEST for all those things he talked about... because walking is a MINIMUM effort thing, and there is got to be other TYPES of exercise that are SIGNIFICANTLY better for health... The half hour walk reduces all those issues by 30% overall, so imagine if you do the actual other BETTER TYPES of exercise PROPERLY, your incidence of all those issues wold be reduced wayyyy more....!! I wonder if Hal hour walk can counteract the bad food, the vegetable oils now in huge disrepute, and the occasional soft drink or alcohol we consume... half hour walk seems NOT enough. Other docs say "resistance" training (never specify that term with so many heads) is best for this, so I would have loved to hear this doc confirm or dissent on this issue, I KNOW he wold have said "something is better than nothing", given THAT, there are better half hour (or one hour) TYPES of exercise to improve the odds even more??
Walk 10 minutes one hour after each meals. Resistance exercises for 30 minutes three times a week. Use your own body weight, exercise bands, go to the gym to lift weight, Whatever resistance you choose.
@@k14michael ""Use your own body weight, exercise bands, go to the gym to lift weight, Whatever resistance you choose."" Those are very different things to do for "resistance exercise".... say, in the gym what exercises are best with with weights?? most people get to the gym and look around and take up ANYTHING they see or have seen other do, no progressive overload and no specific exercises to do... that seems to fit the ""whatever you choose" but I see no improvements on anyone at all after seeing them there for years!! So what specific exercises do people need to do in the gym??
@@ggrthemostgodless8713 In this particular discussion we’re not talking about body building here. We just doing enough exercises during the week to maintain muscles and turn on the good epigenetics to clean up our body like the speaker said. So train the very basic muscles. Leg days: do squats, lunges, calf raises. Chest/bicep: day do bench press, curls, pull up with palm toward your body. Back/shoulder day: rows, pull up, press up. Don’t over think, keep it to the basic. Like the doctor said, something every day is better than nothing. If you over analyze everything during this time of information overload then you will never get started. Also read his book. In the past before you eat you have to walk and run to find food. Then throw spears to get the deer, then you have to chase after the wounded deer, that could be miles, then when you catch it you have to cut it into pieces to carry back. By that time you could have been 20 miles away from home. So you have to carry the deer’s part back for another 20 miles. It kind of made me think now whenever I eat my meals. I ask myself: What physical activities that I did today to deserve this meal?
@@k14michael Thanks. I am no bodybuilder.... but to your points: no one is running 10-20 miles and carrying loads for miles, so shouldn't we substitute the miles men had to walk and run and then carry back the kill to home base, shouldn't we need to SUBSTITUTE all that exercise with ARTIFICIAL things in gyms and other activities, of EQUAL effort , as before modern life?? What I mean is that half hour walk before or after meals is not even close to what you just described of 20 miles to kill and then 20 miles back home carrying the kill, all that work has to be replaced with ARTIFICIAL exercises in gyms and such... BUT all the people I see who do that half hour are still fat, and it is because the half hour walk, or gym, do not do enough to burn or change the body from the food they eat or the bread and cake they like. So it is good to know "nothing in biology makes sense except through the eyes of evolution" but that tells you little on HOW TO apply it in modern life, specially if you take into account all they things doctors tell you that you SHOLD BE eating. From the muscle mass you get from the half hour of exercise, you would have to eat VERY LITTLE AND absolutely no processed food to maintain and not exceed the body's needs. Thanks for the answer.
@@ggrthemostgodless8713 Hey, like he said. A little of something is better than nothing. Get started then you will know what to do next. What I do know is that if we don’t then we will have to make time for the hospital.
The main problem with human movement lies in our way of thinking. To use Kahneman's words, there are two types of thinking, fast and slow. Fast thinking can be called instinctive thinking and the other is the mind. Unfortunately, fast (instinctive) thinking leads us to save energy and only move when it is necessary for our survival. In the past, we had to move a lot to survive, but not anymore. But our instinctive thinking has not changed. Fortunately, we still have slow thinking, our enlightened mind. But we have to train this mind in childhood; it is called self-discipline. Unfortunately, this form of discipline has been neglected recently.
Don't understand youtubers shilling Huel and AG1, while empasizing the importance of non-processed foods. I know I know, protein powder is also processed, cooked meat is also processed, but seriously get your vitamins from one-ingredient food.
It's just artificial food . So it ticks lots of boxes for vitamins and minerals but it causes gastrointestinal comfort like most ultra processed food . No longer shipped to Australia .
The problem with companies shoving workers to exercise is that it discriminates against those with physical disabilities, especially hidden disabilities. John doesn't have to participate in the race, he's in a wheelchair, but Andrea now has to disclose her heart condition to the entire office or be the odd one out or leave.
And funny I prefer to sleep about 6.5-7 hours and then no more - and I have always been physically active but I had to change my Way of eating always from high fat foods toward low fat low salt whole food plant based food to get rid of my arthritis 😊🎵💚🎶
Average age of breast cancer is 62. When women produce less hormones, after menopause. So, estradial and progesterone cannot be causes of breast cancer. Could you explain why you claim this?
I haven't listened to this all, but I can respond to the comment on hrt and breast cancer based on my own experience. It's a simple as this.....HRT can act as an accelerator. Therefore if you have dormant cells, they are stimulated. I have a history of cycst, all drained. One small cyst decided to mutate after 2 years on hrt and I had it removed and advised criss were 3 on the scale up to 5 for cancer. I read lots, and found that if you've had breast cancer your advised not to take hormones. On follow up checks my husband asked about any correlation between hrt and cancer risk. Stock answer..... your decision about quality of life..... which I get, but its not full consideration which means women do not monitor. Prescribed HRT is a blunt instrument in the NHS, as doctors follow a script rather than review the whole picture for an individual. Then hide behind choice if side effects manifest. I still take HRT, lowest dose as I'm still monitoring. I have recently changes in mammogram in same breast.... currently await biopsy result. If its not good HRT will stop for me.
Same here. Actually specialist like Marie Claire Haver and Lisa Mosconi explain that it is the opposite, these hormones produced by the body are protecting against inflammation and cancer. The dropping of estrogen and progesteron makes our bodies more vulnerable. I am not a specialist, but I do tend to believe their claims, not these ones.
It's nonsense. You are correct . The usual list of causes are Obesity Alcohol Tobacco Picking the wrong parents ( there are some nationalities more prone and some families more prone) Starting periods early ( before 12 which is most ) Never breast feeding Having late menopause Not exercising Having a child very late Hormonal contraceptive pill and HRT How many of these are correlation not causation is open to speculation Generally it's admitted we don't know and all the stuff I listed is risk factors and the number 1 risk factor is age ! ( not avoidable unless you die of something else😮)
you are clearly not a scientist. you're stating a logical fallacy. Just because hormones on average decrease does not mean they cant be causal to cancer development.
56:30 Thanks so much for the EXPANSION of that saying, which I knew, that "Nothing in biology makes sense EXCEPT through the lends of evolution" ... but in fact, as he says, in life and societies, past and present, "NOTING [at all] makes sense except in the light of evolution" Excellent doc, thank you so much.
As we age, beyond 60 years, we need to cope with pain, even for light to moderate exercise, such as walking at a steady pace. Walking briskly is not an option even with "mild" low back, hip, knee, foot and ankle pain, which contribute to discourage us from activity. Pharmaceutical pain relief is not the answer. Social activities help - yoga and tai chi , and dog-walking all have elements of social contact. Beyond 60, generally, we are no longer reproductively active, even though we may still be sexually active, and social activities tend to become more sedentary. Pain is a warning not to do "that thing" that causes the pain, and pushing beyond that barrier can cause more damage. Yet exercise causes muscle micro-damage which in turn causes restructuring, growth and repair of muscles, however joints are a different matter, where damage leads to inflammation and further deterioration, which may take the form of calcification of cartilage, which abrades the facets of the joint with further movement, and require rest, sometimes prolonged, to facilitate repair, during which, the muscles may deteriorate instead, so it is a vicious cycle, unless we understand our individual needs and capabilities, and find a personally satisfactory solution, we will not find a balance.
So learn to swim and start doing that then. After all people who have had bones and joints damaged in accidents or through wear and tear are given aqua therapy. Swimming is both resistance and cardio training without stressing the joints. There is always a way to exercise if you really want to.
there is always something you can do and if you're past that point, it's probably better to get surgery if there is a recommended procedure. Hip joint replacement can do wonders. For the rest like back issues, sports is the essence. Walking, swimming, aquajogging, light forms of yoga.
BTW, what is that whooshing sound that comes along every so often on the soundtrack? The closest thing I can compare it to is a tennis racket whooshing through the air without hitting anything.
The 95 year old would have led an active lifestyle by default for the first half of their life. Back then, both paid work and housework were more intensely physical, cars were rare so people walked, most places didn't have lifts, etc. And people ate less, and most of it was whole food. From my experience, it's the people who don't own cars that age the best.
@@amandajane7760Had family member who lived to be 99 1/2 yrs. Ate horrific diet! Large cans chicken soup few days a weeks, Ate out few times mo. with son, frequenting same restraurant, same meal (fried chicken, mashed potatoes, buttered bread..) Cheap peanut butter-jelly sandwich’s, coco puffs cereal for breakfast. Lots of coffee, milk and his favorite fast foods- Colonel Sanders/Burger King! He never exercised! ALWAYS COMPLAINED of sciatica pain, and an unexplained calf pain….pain in feet and ankles plus balance issues! Took cheap, synthetic multiple vitamin…..slew of other prescriptions meds. i.e. HBPs meds, statins, nerve meds, anxiety meds, and many more. He lived alone, at home until a bad fall ….age 98 put him in care facility where he eventually passed just 6 mos. shy of 100th birthday. I wonder …..had he taken better care of himself with healthier food choices (no fast foods), nothing pre packaged,no breads or seed oils, consuming fresh fruits/veggies and a daily walk….how long he could have lived with a better quality of life?? Family has good line of longevity going back into the 1600’s. Also wondering if the Statins caused much of his pain? Recently, many people quit Stains and quickly resolve joint pain issues. I reach 90 in few weeks……changed diet, 8 yrs ago, to whole foods, (2 meals a day) Diet is 99.9% free pre packaged foods. No sugar, bad oils, or breads, walking .5 miles in early am. So far…so good. A good brisk walk is satisfying. Several times a week try increasing walk with an extra 200 steps. ( 400 steps RT🤣. )
Physical activity is just one of the ways how to lower blood glucose. Therefore it works against diseases. So if you are not eating carbs, you don't "has to" be physical active.
Adding, Exercise and sleep are equally important for your health! if a person is not resting, then their life expectancy will be reduced! Exercise is very good for mental health, but not always for fat lose, which leads into diet, very important! Lifestyles, smoking, drinking (drugs!) will not help either!
Can you explain the high performance drink you advertise contains the RDA and take into account the synergetic interactions and bioavailability of each vitamin it claims to contain?!
lol dude talks about stressing over not enough sleep and people selling things to fix this like sleep aids and mattresses…right after a sponsored ad for a mattress. Great video, though! 😁

Check out any videos from 1980 and older and you will see that being obese is the exception. But in the late 1970's we had the birth of "fast food" and "junk food". Since then obesity is the rule and not the exception. Just look around. Even lots of store bought/processed foods have very little nutrition, and are engineered to act like a drug. Now that I am retired and much less active, I have to push myself and hit the rowing machine a few times a week, just to stay somewhat overweight.(I should be at 165lbs, but I'm at 187lbs)

I'm coming at this from the point of view of a person who is disabled. The "nudges" and "shoves" that Daniel are talking about are deeply unfair to someone who does not have the usual physical abilities that he seems to be assuming. Certainly they are not necessarily fun. I'm not even thinking of myself at present, at the age of 71. But even when I was in my teens or 20s, walking was difficult for me. If I didn't watch the ground carefully, I was liable to fall, more or less painfully. Walking a block took far more effort for me than for most people. Being short, and short-legged even for my height, I had to take perhaps twice as many steps as a medium-height man and do proportionately more work in the process. I had a lot of strength, but poor coordination. I could not (and certainly cannot now) look at what's around me, if I was trying to keep up with someone taller than I am. That is, I had to stand still if I wanted to see anything other than the ground. Simple "nudges" like putting elevators in inconvenient positions -- I don't know how to express how damaging that would be. I mean psychologically damaging, making me less-than everyone else. I don't know where to go from this -- what else to say -- except that I wish Daniel would realize that he's not just being heard by people with average and better physical abilities. What if I'd been born in a hunter-gatherer society? I would have been a rotten gatherer (mostly due to heat sensitivity, since keeping eyes on the ground is no drawback to a gatherer). I would have been probably worse as a hunter, though perhaps okay as a fisher. It's very likely, though, that if I survived I would have been a shaman.
You have disabilities, that's unfortunate. But it does not make it"unfair"for others to give good health advices you don't even have to listen to these advices, but a lot of people need it and may improve their health from it. How's is it fair because you are disabled that theses doctors should stop giving advices? Feeling entitled are we?. Life is never fair and so do what you can to help yourself.
I am disappointed in you Jake for advertising a highly processed drink containing caffeine. These caffeine drinks are causing ill health for young people unaware of the excess of caffeine they are consuming as a result of scoffing down these rubbish drinks just so they can get through another shift or look cool. Caffeine causes jitters, anxiety and depression. Please don`t advertise products that hide caffeine in packaging only because it gets consumers addicted to their products. It is an unhealthy and unethical practice. We have had people hospitalized due to consuming these products unaware of the accumulative excessive caffeine they are ingesting from these drinks. This is one product our young people do not need to be influenced by.
Yeeeeaahh stairs, I always use em Better for body and for planet (less electricity use means less contamination) Same message for moving around by bike. Please guys, there is no planet B, let's look after this one a bit better What's good for the body is good for the planet and usually good for your pocket (eating less meat is another one, reject ultra processed food and things in excess packaging)
#carnivore. we never evolved to eat processed grains and sugars, carbs like pasta and bread, oatmeal etc. ALL processed food which includes flours and anything not in it's original form
@@woodlakesound Great reply. What are your facts? Such as how our appendix has shrunk, compare a chimps or a gorilla's, which are much longer to help them get nutrients from fiber. How about nitrogen in ancient human bones, a sign that they were carnivorous. Or, the fact our stomach PH is lower than all other carnivores except for vultures? You can say I'm wrong all you would like but you have no facts on your side of the argument. Have a good day.
This is all really common sense in many aspects .. BUT, this guy is relating to us the actual benefits. Do I have to know what these benefits are to invoke them? Nope, just do the common sense things here.
I kinda disagree… I do not believe we are meant to eat ultra processed foods full of chemicals….also I believe we were created… our bodies are just too unique to of evolved by chance… Great interview tho…
I have spent my entire life being told I was fat & unhealthy because I do not fit the WHO model. I met an elite althete sport nutritionist, who went through my life. He determined that at 140 kg I was healthy & that all that effort to force my body below that was making me fatter & less healthy. At that weight all my other indicators were good. He told me to not watch my weight just get in daily low impact exercise. It frustrated him that humans were supposed to fit a single model As he said Clydesdales are not built like Arabian ponies. Focus on exercise that will help with visceral fat & don't worry about external fat.
Not a single recommendation for millions of people can be adequate for every single person, that should be obvious. That being said, one guy telling you you are healthy is not gospel. How did he determine you're healthy. What's your blood pressure, what's your cholesterol levels, just the basics to get started. Even with all kinds of blood levels and clinical parameters, noone can ever know 100%. If you're not 7 feet tall chances are you are technically overweight/obese, meaning your joints will have to do some heavy lifting and you might need early joint replacement, especially if you cant lose weight. It's a statistical fact that ability of mobility means longer life. Obviously if it stresses you out so much, that aint healthy either.
Good discussion, topcic, coverage, informative. Just one thing. You know how Homo sapiens form tribes, and different languages between tribes. e.g. look at PNG! Why is that? So the neighbouring tribe cannot easily understand them, and use information from 'eavesdropping' to their advantage. Guess what? Scientists are Home sapiens too. And thy get together and talk so much that they develop language that makes it hard for out-group people to understand. So , e.g. muscle wastage is very understandable to everyone, Sarcopeania is not. Endogenous is not a commonly used word, but if you said "your body makes this stuff", everyone would understand. Defaulting to the language of your science in-group is not helpful and is frequently unneccesary - and someone who understands people should know that........
Harvard professor needs to go back to school. Does not know cause and effect. Fat is not bad for you. Eating fat and meat is good. Being fat and over weight is bad. Eating fat does not cause inflammation thats caused by sugar spikes poor diet of sugar and carbs causes inflammation. Vegetable sitting and clogging your colon causes inflammation eg gluten for Crohn's disease..
P.S. & N.B. This professor mentioned at the end that you should not REGRET anything. How WRONG could he be?! Regret is the first step to correcting a situation that you created, causing other people and even yourself - problems! He then added that EVOLUTION gives you purpose in life! WHAT?! Exactly the OPPOSITE it's true! Evolution starts,and continues with - RANDOM events, followed by MAGICAL adaptation, according to the laws of nature! What could be more ABSURD and SILLY?! Just HOW would the end product ever reach it's final form and be functional all the way through it's evolutionary process? And how could RANDOMNESS result in PURPOSE? You see that even a PhD or other highly qualified individuals - can be both FOOLISH STUPID!!
NOT TRUE - that there is no optimal diet or exercise!! KETTLEBELL seems to be best overall exercise, and a VEGETARIAN or even VEGAN diet, is the best!!
It’s odd to me how civilization is just max 12000 yrs old and pretty well documented in archeology But scientists now feel so comfortable in making no mention of this and evoke millions of years based on some skeletons found near a cave and bunching all of that together as part of the history of the human race. One we know and these started with amazing and highly intelligent cultures such Egypt Anything beyond that is purely speculative and story telling.
Piss poor on the diet info. Instant loss of respect. If you don't know just say so. Of course a whole food plant based diet has been proven up the ying yang to be the best and all other diet variations fall in line behind depending on your taste profile and how much you care about nutrition and fitness. Can we just move on with this?

I’m 79 going on 80 is everything moving your body is the key every couple of hours thank you
Sometimes people make it complicated although it's much easier than we think. Thank you Daniel Lieberman for your honesty and integrity.
I hated sport at school, and it instilled in me a hatred for intentional exercise because I was forced to do sports I hated, with peers I didn't get along with. On the rare occasion that I enjoyed a sport, we'd play it 1 term and never again.
Exercise as part of school is a great idea in theory but if approached wrong it just turns a lot of people off exercise in general!
(at 41, I've finally found some forms of exercise I enjoy, yay!)
I had the same experience. I had a couple of teachers who made it feel like it was punishment, I was undiagnosed with asthma and was bullied by the teachers when I said I couldn't breathe.
At the same time, we lived 1.5km from school and I had to walk or later ride my bike, we played on a very interactive playground (not like the "safe" ones now where all you can do is walk around or go down a slide - I swung on monkey bars, chain bridges, or hanging ropes all recess), I had weekly swimming lessons (I didn't particularly enjoy the lessons but did love playing and later did distance swimming for fun), as a young adult I learnt belly dance and still do some. Now, in my 50s, with chronic illness, I still love going for a morning walk in the forest adjacent to my daughter's school. I also enjoy gardening although I don't do that every day.
Something I've noticed is that many neurodiverse kids HATE school sports, but will find a niche activity like archery, bush walking, horse riding, dancing, etc. We need to make school far more adaptable to different needs.
Yeah , me too , 💝🚴
There is so much more to exercise than organized sports. In fact it's not even the best way to get fit. I love sports but I don't think that they should be pushed on people as the standard of exercise. There are so many ways to move your body that don't involve competition.
@@IusedtohaveausernameIliked agreed! I'm not a competitive person but even some non team sports (like martial arts) you get pressured to compete for the club you are in (and the costs of being in a club + uniforms etc. can be excessive too!).
Most of my exercise nowadays is solo; cycling, a rudimentary home gym and VR. I go hiking with a group every other weekend but there's no charge unless the location has one.
I find Dr. Lieberman to be incredibly knowledgeable and level headed when it comes to exercise and nutrition. I have read both his books and am looking forward to reading the next one.
If you aren't physically active you can count on a shorter life with less vitality. That's the science.
Why do 90 percent of UA-cam bits about centenarians rarely mention they have exercise protocols?
Succinct!
Cheers & mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines!
I know this for a fact my adult child has never walked - from birth due to disability and the effects of not walking are real on every aspect of life - brain health and metabolic health. and that's on a diet of good food not junk.
@@beerman204 because the ‘protocols ‘ are exercise the 100 year olds have do while conducting everyday life…gardening, walking to see friends, etc. They do not go to the gym or spend hours working out. Read The Blue Zones by Michael Pollen.
Ppl die early more due to what they eat than how much they move. It’s important to exercise, but futile if you’re eating processed foods or lots of animal protein or dairy.
I love to exercise, as a kid I was very active. As an adult, always gone to the gym. Lifted, ran, swam, biked. Did races, did triathlons. At 66, I’m walking, biking, lifting, hiking, dancing…l
Correct your diet first. That gives you energy that you want to use. Activity, especially focused exercise, makes you stronger and happier with your physical image. It takes very little exercise to achieve visible improvement. At age 81 I am amazed at the rejuvenation I have experienced.
I’ve been always very active, but I still got colon cancer 🤪 fortunately I’ve been cancer free for almost five years now. 🙏🙏

After weeks travelling around the UK I find being able to eat healthy very very hard. I have found over the years that if you want to eat healthy you have two options, live in a more prosperous area or shop in a more prosperous area, the cost of food from grocery stores or fruit and vegetable shops isn't much higher but the choices and abundance of less processed foods is. Look at McDonald's etc and they concentrate around lower socioeconomic areas and schools, and grocery stores in those areas have a higher content of unhealthy and 'fast' foods.
You have to cook from fresh ingredients at home. UK big chain supermarkets that blanket the country have fresh food options.
Exercise is a piss poor way to lose weight. Exercise makes you hungry. It is important to eat the right food. You cannot outrun a bad diet. And out obesity problem is not because of lack of exercise. Exercise is important but that is not why we are all fat. Eating processed food designed to increase hunger has turned us into machines for the food industry. Highly refinded foods based on carbs switches off satiation. This means that the more you eat the more you want to eat. Hunter/Gatherers, even in times of plenty never got overweight because they were evolved to be satified with the food available to them. So eat meat, fish , eggs and greens. Remember that we are not evolved to eat wheat, - pasta, bread, cakes. Root vegetables were rare and fruit was tart and small. But also seasonal. Honey was a one in a blue moon treat. Sugar was otherwise unknown. The supermarket system presents fake food; over grown fruit and veg all year round, and food-like substances in plastic and crdboard packets.
Damn right but dates have always been abundant in certain regions
80:20%. But that 20 is ....20%.
You just saved me a lot of typing. Thanks.
Exercise is good, but it's definitely not the answer to any of the problems he's trying to address. What you eat is far more important than exercise, but it's not all the animal products cited in these comments. It's a better balance. That's the science.
Walking is pretty good. It’s dynamic and low impact.
Dr. Lieberman's book, "Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do is Healthy and Rewarding" is an amazingly well written, thorough and humorous read that is packed with useful information and research sources. :)
High performance is possible with optimal nutrition. Without the nutrients we can’t function as well. We have come away so far from what is natural.
Proper human diet.
I upvote the Dr. Ken Berry reference.
Believing quacks and quack claims is dangerous. Stick with dietary guidelines and run from weird diets based on false claims about human evolution and fallacious reasoning (eg the appeal to nature fallacy).
@@tomgoff7887 Sure. Cover your eyes and ears and just ignore the evidence based medicine being validated every day. Ignore the near miraculous turnarounds in tens of thousands of people's health. Good call - observational myopia for the win!
This is an amazing conversation thanks 🙏
Loved this, but the biggest problem we face is that there is no money to be made from promoting healthier lifestyles v billions made in food and healthcare sectors. Strong political lobby from these sectors adds resistance.
You don’t have to let that affect you. We need to take responsibility for our own health.
Exercise is Great for energy balance, hormones go up, and for spending more energy and avoiding being fat but if you are not spending energy it causes inflammation, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and keep your brain fit, but irs not enough for loosing weight you will have to be aware of calories density. ❤
What are your thoughts on the episode? 🤔
Great guest, great questions, great podcast.
I do find it ironic though that in one breath we've got an expert telling us we shouldn't feel stressed about getting 'eight' hours of sleep, that in fact humans have evolved on much less, but then you're sponsored by 'eight sleep', a company that purports you need to spend thousands of pounds on a high tech mattress topper in order to get adequate sleep. The health and wellness industry is full of these types of high cost 'solutions' to complex, often very unique and individualised problems. You might justify it as a none issue because it's only well resourced individuals that are paying for these 'silver bullet' solutions, but you need to think about the individuals that can't and the anxiety and the general feeling of I'm not-doing-enough this can cause.
I do wish we could live in a world where people like yourselves can make a respectable living educating the masses, whilst not simultaneously exploiting peoples fears and insecurities. This isn't unique to HPP - every podcaster is at it these days.
very good!
my thoughts.... you look good for 45... i'd have put you in your 30s
didn't listen to the entire thing, was glad the show notes were all categorized tho, after hearing him say in the intro "how much better exercise was compared to pharmaceuticals" i was wondering what he'd say about how much better the studies are for showing how much better an optimal diet is...than even exercise(because there are studies that have tried to tease out which is better for human health, exercise or diet, and diet is obviously even more important let alone all the studies proving how much better diet is when compared to pharmaceuticals) but alas he must not have researched into the diet aspect as well as he could have(as we all could and should)! his claims that we humans evolved eating "anything" or that we could "eat only meat like the inuit" when even i know that the inuit don't eat "only meat" and it's super easy to go to pubmed dot gov and to try to find ANY studies that show some kind of a "benefit" for human health/longevity for either a carnivore/high fat/keto type diet and no studies exist and surely it's not because corporations like the atkins people/fast food/animal agriculture/etc surely all have tried to do multiple studies on carnivorous/keto/high fat type diets but eating that way is not only super unhealthy for humans(so unhealthy that the studies that do exist even claim that the diet MUST be temporary, a few days or a week at most, because it's so obviously unhealthy that it's unethical for researchers to feed any/all humans like that) not only do these diets cause many diseases but the inuit are currently some of the most unhealthy humans on earth BUT even the "ancient inuit" they've uncovered well preserved were riddled with disease/heart disease at young ages and some of the ancient accounts of other groups meeting or interacting with the inuit that do exist will mention how they didn't see "elderly" inuit people(like where are all the inuit centenarians) and before modern testing/equipment one could try to deduce that the environment was so harsh where the inuit live that this must have prevented them from becoming old but now we know because we've tested them/their remains that they not only have a genetic mutation that keeps them from going into ketosis as quickly but they didn't "only eat meat" there are snowberries and other plants that they regularly had to consume and we know that they're "high fat diet" was super unhealthy for them now and always through history! sure now that most of them eat all the highly processed poison plants and even worse poisoned animal/fish too(like animals and fish without us making them more toxic were already poisonous to us humans to consume on any regular basis but now we've poisoned the animals so much more that they're even worse for us to consume!), so sure now the inuit are even more sick BUT if one also looks at the populations overall and see's if/are there any groups of humans who do outlive other groups who don't have diseases like so many other groups including the inuit do? and diseases(cancer/depression/alzheimer's/heart disease/obesity/etc) are much lower or almost or even "nonexistent"(not because researchers don't or can't look/not because of their genes/mostly because of the way they eat and partly because of their lifestyle, so even i partially agree with this guy, that exercise is important BUT the science shows diet is WAY more important)?! certain diseases are actually non existent in some groups and it's not because they eat the standard american diet but just exercise more!!?? sure pharmaceuticals can provide a minimal amount of help/health BUT should be used as a "last resort" after diet and lifestyle interventions with an emphasis on diet!...let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food...we(humans) have theoretically "known" the truth for centuries but now are able to prove it without a doubt! yet we still have "harvard" profs(surely being directly or indirectly funded by corporations instead of funded by the truth/science! like the other commenter pointed out!! hmmm) trying to convince us otherwise?! sorry but personally i no longer have time for that obvious nonsense i'm sure he "knows" a lot about exercise but there are plenty of "experts" out there touting how great exercise(obviously) is, but so why is he also not able/willing to tout the benefits of a whole foods plant based diet because the science exists proving that much?! i would have watched the whole thing except for his incorrect views on diet make me skeptical about the rest of whatever he's saying...
I've read and watched a lot of Lieberman's work. You got the best abstract of it of any place on the internet. Congratulations and Thanks.
Exercise might on average lower the risk of death from colon cancer but not always. My husband was a fit, strong mechanic, on his feet all day, who regularly went hunting in a nearby mountain range for pleasure and would rather chop thistles on our hilly farmlet than watch TV. Yet he was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer at 54 and died aged 61. Misdiagnosis by 3 incompetent GPs meant the cancer wasn't picked up much, much earlier. So exercise and fitness isn't a cure-all.
Very true !! Keeping on top of cancer seems like largely-at least a matter of luck and the fact that one of my college friends is a retired doctor who keeps me pushy , especially regarding cancer.
I am 76 and would undoubtedly be dead or dying of cancer right now - but for LUCK !! That’s ridiculous. It shouldn’t be that way !! There are plenty of diagnostics to detect cancer but they are not readily available unless you have a person pushing you to push your provide LOTS !!! Stupid ! Stupid !! STUPID !!!
no one has ever said, "Exercise is a cure-all."
You fail to understand the definition of 'risk'. It doesn't mean something never happens.
you'd have to look into the studies. His statement irked me. It's most likely that it's hard to match the control groups very well with the intervention groups, i.e. I assume that it's a correlation but at best only partial causation. Meaning, people who exercise at least some significant amount per week, also on average make other healthy life style choices, like eating healthy, not smoking, not drink any alcohol or very little, more outside activity. So in effect, there has to be a confounding effect and I dont know for sure if those studies he is talking about corrected for that.
that's quite early, you should check other close relatives of his, if there is a history of cancer (or if they have got the screening colonoscopy). Also if you have children they should have an early colonoscopy compared to the average population, probably like at latest by the age of 35, possibly earlier.

Unfortunately, numbers weren’t on my side. Worked out all my life, healthy diet and diagnosed with breast cancer. Not aggressive and caught it early.
Always take the stairs if I can and have weight trained and HIIT for 20 plus years.
Same here. Although breast cancer is often related to emotions, (I believe it was for me) in particular a traumatic loss. Look up German New Medicine, their research shows that loss of a child often affects the left breast (in right handed women) whilst loss of a job/partner/pet affects the right breast. Fascinating.
Sorry to hear that, genetics must have played a role there. It would be interesting to know if you carry the mutated gene linked to breast cancer.
@@snapadam I don’t. The Oncologist surgeon had me tested. Some doctors who have actually looked at studies are saying that most if not all cancers are not genetically driven.
@@sportysbusinesswow, interesting… my mom had it in her left breast and she lost her son/ my brother… 🤔 my mother in law had breast cancer also and had a mastectomy…she lost her son also years ago, and sense has lost two more sons! Can’t remember which breast tho…
@@sportysbusiness unless emotions lead to smoking, drinking or other harmful activities, emotions absolutely dont cause or contribute to cancer. the idea of a cancer personality has also been long debunked. "German new medicine" is quackery.
My observations are different: persons I knew who lived longer than 95 live a non-active lifestyle. On the other hand, people I knew looked healthy and active lived relatively short lives (less than 80).
My experience too.
True thst it's way more complex than "beimg active". Too many factors to predict anyone's life span. Activity in retirement is an important factor though, because many die soon after ceasing to move around - irrespective how active they've been until then. Movement sometimes _is_ life, and lack of it _can_ deteriorate health of entire system, shortening the life.
However, there are apparently more important factors. Genetics, still uncoded, play important part, as without serious illness there are a point where cells just switch off as if by a command. But most important from my knowledge is stress - rather a lack of it. One reason you notice inactive people living longer is that these kind of people (i'd guess especially in US) don't stress their psyche as much as sporty types.
Those taking life with peaceful mental state (regardless of lifestyle, it comes from inside, but for most environment plays a role) and having good diets usually are majority of long lifers. My friends from Bulgaria and Greece had grandmothers without a single gray hair well into '90s. I guess it's genetics too, but asked the secret of long life and lucid mind, they all responded - live without letting stresses in you and eat meditteranian way, with lots of fresh olive oil. Most wouldn't have this mindset, environment and opportunity to be on the same diet in US. Culture are a factor too. Everything seems to be a factor for longevity, but balanced and active lifestyle is a key to health. One doesn't equate other, unless you get really sick.
Anecdotal evidence is not science
define non-active. in what eras did they live. Considering they must have been born at least around a hundred years ago, by today's standards they most likely had a very active lifestyle. It was just integrated in their every day life. Taking the stairs, not using a car to go one block, manual labor in the garden or at work, less sitting at home in front of a tv but rather going out to eat, or the movies or the theatre. Most people of that age were in some kind of club, dancing or whatever.
Did you take their dna scan? 😂

Right you don't have to run like a hunter, just eat like one.
I appreciate Lieberman’s approach. It is very practical and scientific. It is different than some of the pseudoscience out there of popular researchers pushing supplements and their products, which ultimately makes them wealthy.
This guy is wrong about estrogen in the luteal phase. Ugh. Its not super high in the luteal phase; its highest in the follicular and ovulatory phase.
Then it steeply drops, then it slightly raises again but is considered not to be high due to the ratio of estrogen to progesterone in the luteal phase. He is correct about progesterone being high in the luteal phase.
He is making it all very unclear for people though. He also talked about cancer in relation to estrogen in the luteal phase. Again, he is really oversimplifying something. Luteal phase estrogen levels are not the issue. Also, it's not all so simple as estrogens and progesterone... There's other things involved... FSH, LH, and others, and the interplay is very important
Totally disagree with the diet comments, there is an optimal diet! And it’s a clean whole food diet, without added chemicals, absent of sugar, seed oils, and highly processed no foods. You don’t necessarily need to eat optimally, just be cognizant of it and do your best. As far as diet, it also has to be livable to be able to maintain it….
Brisk walk 21 Minutes Per day is the Way to start. We are made to be physically active - always walk when possible dont use the eskalators - so learn to enjoy to keep moving - 🎶🖤🎵
all i needed to understand
I exercise an hour everyday alternative walking and going to the gym. I’m also garden, cleaning and just moving. I eat low carb, high protein, mod healthy fats and eat clean whole food. Avoid sugar and seed oils. But I do enjoy a glass of wine each night.
Low carb? You must be overweight
I don’t believe it’s either/or when it comes to exercise and a healthy diet. Both are equally important and beneficial to our health and well being. Whilst you cannot out run a terrible diet, conversely a good diet is not going to undo all the effects of a sedentary lifestyle with little to no exercise. We are made to move and carry and lift heavy things. We are also adapted to thrive on whole foods, wherever they be found on the planet. We are not adapted from an evolutionary perspective to eat an ultra processed diet developed in laboratories and made on an industrial scale with all sorts of nasties thrown into the mix.
I wish they had delved a LOTTTT deeper into what KINDS of exercise is BEST for all those things he talked about... because walking is a MINIMUM effort thing, and there is got to be other TYPES of exercise that are SIGNIFICANTLY better for health...
The half hour walk reduces all those issues by 30% overall, so imagine if you do the actual other BETTER TYPES of exercise PROPERLY, your incidence of all those issues wold be reduced wayyyy more....!!
I wonder if Hal hour walk can counteract the bad food, the vegetable oils now in huge disrepute, and the occasional soft drink or alcohol we consume... half hour walk seems NOT enough.
Other docs say "resistance" training (never specify that term with so many heads) is best for this, so I would have loved to hear this doc confirm or dissent on this issue, I KNOW he wold have said "something is better than nothing", given THAT, there are better half hour (or one hour) TYPES of exercise to improve the odds even more??
Walk 10 minutes one hour after each meals.
Resistance exercises for 30 minutes three times a week.
Use your own body weight, exercise bands, go to the gym to lift weight, Whatever resistance you choose.
@@k14michael
""Use your own body weight, exercise bands, go to the gym to lift weight, Whatever resistance you choose.""
Those are very different things to do for "resistance exercise".... say, in the gym what exercises are best with with weights?? most people get to the gym and look around and take up ANYTHING they see or have seen other do, no progressive overload and no specific exercises to do... that seems to fit the ""whatever you choose" but I see no improvements on anyone at all after seeing them there for years!! So what specific exercises do people need to do in the gym??
@@ggrthemostgodless8713
In this particular discussion we’re not talking about body building here. We just doing enough exercises during the week to maintain muscles and turn on the good epigenetics to clean up our body like the speaker said.
So train the very basic muscles. Leg days: do squats, lunges, calf raises. Chest/bicep: day do bench press, curls, pull up with palm toward your body. Back/shoulder day: rows, pull up, press up. Don’t over think, keep it to the basic.
Like the doctor said, something every day is better than nothing.
If you over analyze everything during this time of information overload then you will never get started.
Also read his book. In the past before you eat you have to walk and run to find food. Then throw spears to get the deer, then you have to chase after the wounded deer, that could be miles, then when you catch it you have to cut it into pieces to carry back. By that time you could have been 20 miles away from home. So you have to carry the deer’s part back for another 20 miles.
It kind of made me think now whenever I eat my meals. I ask myself: What physical activities that I did today to deserve this meal?
@@k14michael
Thanks.
I am no bodybuilder.... but to your points: no one is running 10-20 miles and carrying loads for miles, so shouldn't we substitute the miles men had to walk and run and then carry back the kill to home base, shouldn't we need to SUBSTITUTE all that exercise with ARTIFICIAL things in gyms and other activities, of EQUAL effort , as before modern life?? What I mean is that half hour walk before or after meals is not even close to what you just described of 20 miles to kill and then 20 miles back home carrying the kill, all that work has to be replaced with ARTIFICIAL exercises in gyms and such... BUT all the people I see who do that half hour are still fat, and it is because the half hour walk, or gym, do not do enough to burn or change the body from the food they eat or the bread and cake they like.
So it is good to know "nothing in biology makes sense except through the eyes of evolution" but that tells you little on HOW TO apply it in modern life, specially if you take into account all they things doctors tell you that you SHOLD BE eating. From the muscle mass you get from the half hour of exercise, you would have to eat VERY LITTLE AND absolutely no processed food to maintain and not exceed the body's needs.
Thanks for the answer.

Hey, like he said. A little of something is better than nothing. Get started then you will know what to do next.
What I do know is that if we don’t then we will have to make time for the hospital.
Apart from all the adverts. It waß very interesting.
The main problem with human movement lies in our way of thinking. To use Kahneman's words, there are two types of thinking, fast and slow. Fast thinking can be called instinctive thinking and the other is the mind. Unfortunately, fast (instinctive) thinking leads us to save energy and only move when it is necessary for our survival. In the past, we had to move a lot to survive, but not anymore. But our instinctive thinking has not changed. Fortunately, we still have slow thinking, our enlightened mind. But we have to train this mind in childhood; it is called self-discipline. Unfortunately, this form of discipline has been neglected recently.
I see 85 year olds playing pickle ball and it really helps with their mental health, it really helps with their physical health.
a thought on Huel - I looked it up, something shows that it has sucralose as an ingredient, which has an adverse affect on me. Anyone else?
Don't understand youtubers shilling Huel and AG1, while empasizing the importance of non-processed foods. I know I know, protein powder is also processed, cooked meat is also processed, but seriously get your vitamins from one-ingredient food.
It's just artificial food . So it ticks lots of boxes for vitamins and minerals but it causes gastrointestinal comfort like most ultra processed food . No longer shipped to Australia .
@@snapadamOh, it's just about money, not about health 🙂 (I also hate it)
The problem with companies shoving workers to exercise is that it discriminates against those with physical disabilities, especially hidden disabilities. John doesn't have to participate in the race, he's in a wheelchair, but Andrea now has to disclose her heart condition to the entire office or be the odd one out or leave.
Nice timestamps ❤ Thank you!
And funny I prefer to sleep about 6.5-7 hours and then no more - and I have always been physically active but I had to change my Way of eating always from high fat foods toward low fat low salt whole food plant based food to get rid of my arthritis 😊🎵💚🎶
Great guest and convo
Average age of breast cancer is 62. When women produce less hormones, after menopause. So, estradial and progesterone cannot be causes of breast cancer. Could you explain why you claim this?
I haven't listened to this all, but I can respond to the comment on hrt and breast cancer based on my own experience.
It's a simple as this.....HRT can act as an accelerator. Therefore if you have dormant cells, they are stimulated. I have a history of cycst, all drained. One small cyst decided to mutate after 2 years on hrt and I had it removed and advised criss were 3 on the scale up to 5 for cancer. I read lots, and found that if you've had breast cancer your advised not to take hormones.
On follow up checks my husband asked about any correlation between hrt and cancer risk. Stock answer..... your decision about quality of life..... which I get, but its not full consideration which means women do not monitor. Prescribed HRT is a blunt instrument in the NHS, as doctors follow a script rather than review the whole picture for an individual. Then hide behind choice if side effects manifest.
I still take HRT, lowest dose as I'm still monitoring. I have recently changes in mammogram in same breast.... currently await biopsy result. If its not good HRT will stop for me.
Same here. Actually specialist like Marie Claire Haver and Lisa Mosconi explain that it is the opposite, these hormones produced by the body are protecting against inflammation and cancer. The dropping of estrogen and progesteron makes our bodies more vulnerable. I am not a specialist, but I do tend to believe their claims, not these ones.
It's nonsense. You are correct . The usual list of causes are
Obesity
Alcohol
Tobacco
Picking the wrong parents ( there are some nationalities more prone and some families more prone)
Starting periods early ( before 12 which is most )
Never breast feeding
Having late menopause
Not exercising
Having a child very late
Hormonal contraceptive pill and HRT
How many of these are correlation not causation is open to speculation
Generally it's admitted we don't know and all the stuff I listed is risk factors and the number 1 risk factor is age ! ( not avoidable unless you die of something else😮)
The burden of proof lies with you
you are clearly not a scientist. you're stating a logical fallacy. Just because hormones on average decrease does not mean they cant be causal to cancer development.
Well said!
Helpful!

Thanks so much for the EXPANSION of that saying, which I knew, that
"Nothing in biology makes sense EXCEPT through the lends of evolution"
... but in fact, as he says, in life and societies, past and present,
"NOTING [at all] makes sense except in the light of evolution"
Excellent doc, thank you so much.
As we age, beyond 60 years, we need to cope with pain, even for light to moderate exercise, such as walking at a steady pace. Walking briskly is not an option even with "mild" low back, hip, knee, foot and ankle pain, which contribute to discourage us from activity. Pharmaceutical pain relief is not the answer. Social activities help - yoga and tai chi , and dog-walking all have elements of social contact.
Beyond 60, generally, we are no longer reproductively active, even though we may still be sexually active, and social activities tend to become more sedentary. Pain is a warning not to do "that thing" that causes the pain, and pushing beyond that barrier can cause more damage. Yet exercise causes muscle micro-damage which in turn causes restructuring, growth and repair of muscles, however joints are a different matter, where damage leads to inflammation and further deterioration, which may take the form of calcification of cartilage, which abrades the facets of the joint with further movement, and require rest, sometimes prolonged, to facilitate repair, during which, the muscles may deteriorate instead, so it is a vicious cycle, unless we understand our individual needs and capabilities, and find a personally satisfactory solution, we will not find a balance.
So learn to swim and start doing that then. After all people who have had bones and joints damaged in accidents or through wear and tear are given aqua therapy. Swimming is both resistance and cardio training without stressing the joints. There is always a way to exercise if you really want to.
there is always something you can do and if you're past that point, it's probably better to get surgery if there is a recommended procedure. Hip joint replacement can do wonders. For the rest like back issues, sports is the essence. Walking, swimming, aquajogging, light forms of yoga.
BTW, what is that whooshing sound that comes along every so often on the soundtrack? The closest thing I can compare it to is a tennis racket whooshing through the air without hitting anything.
It's the "subscribe" etc prompts
It's your tinnitus
Awesome!
My observations are different: persons I knew who lived longer than 95 live a non-active lifestyle.
The 95 year old would have led an active lifestyle by default for the first half of their life. Back then, both paid work and housework were more intensely physical, cars were rare so people walked, most places didn't have lifts, etc. And people ate less, and most of it was whole food. From my experience, it's the people who don't own cars that age the best.
@@amandajane7760Had family member who lived to be 99 1/2 yrs. Ate horrific diet! Large cans chicken soup few days a weeks, Ate out few times mo. with son, frequenting same restraurant, same meal (fried chicken, mashed potatoes, buttered bread..) Cheap peanut butter-jelly sandwich’s, coco puffs cereal for breakfast.
Lots of coffee, milk and his favorite fast foods- Colonel Sanders/Burger King! He never exercised! ALWAYS COMPLAINED of sciatica pain, and an unexplained calf pain….pain in feet and ankles plus balance issues! Took cheap, synthetic multiple vitamin…..slew of other prescriptions meds. i.e. HBPs meds, statins, nerve meds, anxiety meds, and many more. He lived alone, at home until a bad fall ….age 98 put him in care facility where he eventually passed just 6 mos. shy of 100th birthday. I wonder …..had he taken better care of himself with healthier food choices (no fast foods), nothing pre packaged,no breads or seed oils, consuming fresh fruits/veggies and a daily walk….how long he could have lived with a better quality of life?? Family has good line of longevity going back into the 1600’s. Also wondering if the Statins caused much of his pain? Recently, many people quit Stains and quickly resolve joint pain issues. I reach 90 in few weeks……changed diet, 8 yrs ago, to whole foods, (2 meals a day) Diet is 99.9% free pre packaged foods. No sugar, bad oils, or breads, walking .5 miles in early am. So far…so good.
A good brisk walk is satisfying. Several times a week try increasing walk with an extra 200 steps. ( 400 steps RT🤣. )
Lol! Error previous post. Walking, 2.5 miles a day NOT .5! 🥳
Physical activity is just one of the ways how to lower blood glucose. Therefore it works against diseases. So if you are not eating carbs, you don't "has to" be physical active.
Your body still produce free radicals. Exercise helps to clean them up.
Nutrition update: although our species evolved to tolerate some plants, we did not evolve to thrive on an all-plant vegan diet.

Adding, Exercise and sleep are equally important for your health! if a person is not resting, then their life expectancy will be reduced! Exercise is very good for mental health, but not always for fat lose, which leads into diet, very important! Lifestyles, smoking, drinking (drugs!) will not help either!
Let me guess: lots of movement, good night of sleep, healthy diet.
Wrong

Check out any videos from 1980 and older and you will see that being obese is the exception. But in the late 1970's we had the birth of "fast food" and "junk food". Since then obesity is the rule and not the exception. Just look around. Even lots of store bought/processed foods have very little nutrition, and are engineered to act like a drug. Now that I am retired and much less active, I have to push myself and hit the rowing machine a few times a week, just to stay somewhat overweight.(I should be at 165lbs, but I'm at 187lbs)

I'm coming at this from the point of view of a person who is disabled. The "nudges" and "shoves" that Daniel are talking about are deeply unfair to someone who does not have the usual physical abilities that he seems to be assuming. Certainly they are not necessarily fun.
I'm not even thinking of myself at present, at the age of 71. But even when I was in my teens or 20s, walking was difficult for me. If I didn't watch the ground carefully, I was liable to fall, more or less painfully. Walking a block took far more effort for me than for most people. Being short, and short-legged even for my height, I had to take perhaps twice as many steps as a medium-height man and do proportionately more work in the process. I had a lot of strength, but poor coordination. I could not (and certainly cannot now) look at what's around me, if I was trying to keep up with someone taller than I am. That is, I had to stand still if I wanted to see anything other than the ground.
Simple "nudges" like putting elevators in inconvenient positions -- I don't know how to express how damaging that would be. I mean psychologically damaging, making me less-than everyone else.
I don't know where to go from this -- what else to say -- except that I wish Daniel would realize that he's not just being heard by people with average and better physical abilities.
What if I'd been born in a hunter-gatherer society? I would have been a rotten gatherer (mostly due to heat sensitivity, since keeping eyes on the ground is no drawback to a gatherer). I would have been probably worse as a hunter, though perhaps okay as a fisher. It's very likely, though, that if I survived I would have been a shaman.
You have disabilities, that's unfortunate. But it does not make it"unfair"for others to give good health advices you don't even have to listen to these advices, but a lot of people need it and may improve their health from it. How's is it fair because you are disabled that theses doctors should stop giving advices? Feeling entitled are we?. Life is never fair and so do what you can to help yourself.
If you start too late
Yet another simplistic solution. Nutrition is the big problem.
I am disappointed in you Jake for advertising a highly processed drink containing caffeine. These caffeine drinks are causing ill health for young people unaware of the excess of caffeine they are consuming as a result of scoffing down these rubbish drinks just so they can get through another shift or look cool. Caffeine causes jitters, anxiety and depression. Please don`t advertise products that hide caffeine in packaging only because it gets consumers addicted to their products. It is an unhealthy and unethical practice. We have had people hospitalized due to consuming these products unaware of the accumulative excessive caffeine they are ingesting from these drinks. This is one product our young people do not need to be influenced by.
Am I the only one that feels the built-in commercials are contradictive to what this doctor is saying
They are you are correct
Yeeeeaahh stairs, I always use em
Better for body and for planet (less electricity use means less contamination)
Same message for moving around by bike. Please guys, there is no planet B, let's look after this one a bit better
What's good for the body is good for the planet and usually good for your pocket (eating less meat is another one, reject ultra processed food and things in excess packaging)
It seems so obvious once you’ve been at it a few months.
Seed oils are far more the obesity problem
#carnivore. we never evolved to eat processed grains and sugars, carbs like pasta and bread, oatmeal etc. ALL processed food which includes flours and anything not in it's original form
Every species on the planet have an optimal diet. We were evolved as carnivores not omnivores.
wrong
@@woodlakesound Great reply. What are your facts? Such as how our appendix has shrunk, compare a chimps or a gorilla's, which are much longer to help them get nutrients from fiber. How about nitrogen in ancient human bones, a sign that they were carnivorous. Or, the fact our stomach PH is lower than all other carnivores except for vultures? You can say I'm wrong all you would like but you have no facts on your side of the argument. Have a good day.
This is all really common sense in many aspects .. BUT, this guy is relating to us the actual benefits. Do I have to know what these benefits are to invoke them? Nope, just do the common sense things here.
I kinda disagree… I do not believe we are meant to eat ultra processed foods full of chemicals….also I believe we were created… our bodies are just too unique to of evolved by chance… Great interview tho…

Two commercials. Won’t watching you again. There are many great channels out there.
I have spent my entire life being told I was fat & unhealthy because I do not fit the WHO model. I met an elite althete sport nutritionist, who went through my life. He determined that at 140 kg I was healthy & that all that effort to force my body below that was making me fatter & less healthy. At that weight all my other indicators were good. He told me to not watch my weight just get in daily low impact exercise. It frustrated him that humans were supposed to fit a single model As he said Clydesdales are not built like Arabian ponies. Focus on exercise that will help with visceral fat & don't worry about external fat.
Not a single recommendation for millions of people can be adequate for every single person, that should be obvious. That being said, one guy telling you you are healthy is not gospel. How did he determine you're healthy. What's your blood pressure, what's your cholesterol levels, just the basics to get started. Even with all kinds of blood levels and clinical parameters, noone can ever know 100%. If you're not 7 feet tall chances are you are technically overweight/obese, meaning your joints will have to do some heavy lifting and you might need early joint replacement, especially if you cant lose weight. It's a statistical fact that ability of mobility means longer life. Obviously if it stresses you out so much, that aint healthy either.
Good discussion, topcic, coverage, informative.
Just one thing. You know how Homo sapiens form tribes, and different languages between tribes. e.g. look at PNG! Why is that? So the neighbouring tribe cannot easily understand them, and use information from 'eavesdropping' to their advantage. Guess what? Scientists are Home sapiens too. And thy get together and talk so much that they develop language that makes it hard for out-group people to understand. So , e.g. muscle wastage is very understandable to everyone, Sarcopeania is not. Endogenous is not a commonly used word, but if you said "your body makes this stuff", everyone would understand. Defaulting to the language of your science in-group is not helpful and is frequently unneccesary - and someone who understands people should know that........

This professor mentioned at the end that you should not REGRET anything. How WRONG could he be?!
Regret is the first step to correcting a situation that you created, causing other people and even yourself - problems!
He then added that EVOLUTION gives you purpose in life! WHAT?! Exactly the OPPOSITE it's true! Evolution starts,and continues with - RANDOM events, followed by MAGICAL adaptation, according to the laws of nature! What could be more ABSURD and SILLY?!
Just HOW would the end product ever reach it's final form and be functional all the way through it's evolutionary process? And how could RANDOMNESS result in PURPOSE?
You see that even a PhD or other highly qualified individuals - can be both FOOLISH STUPID!!
NOT TRUE - that there is no optimal diet or exercise!!
KETTLEBELL seems to be best overall exercise, and a VEGETARIAN or even VEGAN diet, is the best!!
It’s odd to me how civilization is just max 12000 yrs old and pretty well documented in archeology But scientists now feel so comfortable in making no mention of this and evoke millions of years based on some skeletons found near a cave and bunching all of that together as part of the history of the human race. One we know and these started with amazing and highly intelligent cultures such Egypt Anything beyond that is purely speculative and story telling.
Fascinating
Piss poor on the diet info. Instant loss of respect. If you don't know just say so. Of course a whole food plant based diet has been proven up the ying yang to be the best and all other diet variations fall in line behind depending on your taste profile and how much you care about nutrition and fitness. Can we just move on with this?
