Summary

For Episode 416 of The Paleo Solution Podcast we have guest Dr. Michael Rose. Dr. Rose is a prolific evolutionary biologist whose work on aging has transformed the field. Evolution has described the field of aging research as “after Rose,” thanks to his influential book Evolutionary Biology of Aging. In 1997, Rose was awarded the Busse Research Prize by the World Congress of Gerontology. In 2004, he published a technical summary of his work on the postponement of aging, Methuselah Flies, followed in 2005 by a popular book on the topic, The Long Tomorrow. His most recent book, with L.D. Mueller and C.L. Rauser, is Does Aging Stop? He has more than 300 publications, and has given hundreds of scientific talks around the world. He is currently a Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine.

This was a super interesting episode. We talked about evolutionary changes in diet, how young people may be more adapted to agricultural diets, how that changes with age, and how your background and ancestry can affect how you handle agricultural diets and foods as well. I definitely recommend giving this one a listen.

0:00.0	Hey folks, thanks for tuning in to another edition of the Paylor Solution Podcast.
0:07.0	Before we get to the find, here's a quick word from one of our sponsors.
0:10.0	We've got a Kito Master Class Testimonial from Allison.
0:14.5	Allison says, Rob Wolf, I am so glad I spent the $49 and finally learned to do Kido correctly.
0:21.5	I'm trying not to geek out on numbers but I've lost 5.5 inches on my
0:24.8	waist 18 pounds and it's day 35. I'm telling everyone I know, Kito Masterclass. So if you want to go Kito, but you're not quite sure where to start, or maybe you're eating
0:36.3	Kito already but not sure you're doing it right, go to Kito Masterclass.com
0:41.1	forward slash go
0:42.8	Hey folks Rob Wolf here man today.
0:48.8	Hey folks Rob Wolf here man today's show is a goody. It is pretty technical goes pretty deep. Dr Michael Rose is a bonafide hero of mine. The guy is absolutely brilliant. He is an aging researcher and a major evolutionary biology journal deals a lot with aging
1:08.2	basically broke down the the state of the art of aging research in the time before and after Dr. Rose's work.
1:16.7	So that's how influential he and his graduate students have been.
1:22.1	He was a recent presenter at the ancestral health
1:24.4	symposium 2018. Just amazing material talks about the potential benefits of say like kids maybe eating closer to a not
1:37.0	process but Neolithic diet and then the potential need for all of us to
1:42.1	transition to something that looks pretty
1:43.8	akin to a paleotype diet as we age.
1:45.9	So it answers a lot of questions.
1:47.7	It clears up a lot of the confusion around paleotype diets, some of the pushback that the paleo diet concept has received within
1:56.4	more mainstream evolutionary biology circles.
1:59.7	I think that many of us have gotten much of this right, but as with everything, timing is of the essence,
2:07.0	so check out this podcast with Dr. Rose, thank you so much for coming on the show. My pleasure.
