Healthy As A Hunter-Gatherer:  Paleofact and Palefiction in Modern Metabolic Medicine 

How do our modern lifestyles promote obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disease?  In this talk I discuss recent work from living hunter-gatherer populations exploring the ways in which their diet and daily physical activity lead to their remarkable metabolic and cardiovascular health.  Research with these cultures are shedding surprising new light on how our bodies burn calories and stay healthy.
