Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. The weekly podcast where Dr. G gives you the tools you need to boost your health and live your healthiest life.

Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast.

Well by now, you know I'm pretty obsessed with energy because of my new book, The Energy Paradox.

I just published the brand new book.

Well on today's episode, my guest and I are going to dive real deep into our energy production.

And we're going to do it by taking a close look at one of the last true hunter-gather societies on earth, The Hadsop.

I'm joined today by Herman Ponzer. Dr. Ponzer is an associate professor of anthropology at Duke University and just wrote a brand new book called Burn.

New research blows the lid off of how we really burn calories, lose weight and stay healthy.

Now in today's episode, he and I are going to reveal the truth about your metabolism, explain why exercising won't necessarily lead to more fat burning.

Oh no! And why the 2000 calorie a day diet might be all wrong.

And just as an aside, off camera, we learned that first of all, you may all know that Yale, my major, was in human evolutionary biology, which is what Dr. Ponzer studies.

And my mentor, Dr. David Pillbeam, was on his PhD committee at Harvard to look at his thesis.

So boy, we go back a long way together. So we've got a lot of exciting things in store for you today on today's episode. So stay tuned, we'll be right back.

I'm going to tell you a quick story. I was on a train trip from Paris to Geneva. It's about a three hour trip.

My wife Penny is enraptured by her new book. She's going to be reading the whole time and I had planned to do the same. Only one problem. I forgot my book.

I thought I'd try something new, went online to select an audio book. Would you believe it? I spent two hours trying to find the perfect book.

I had so many that I wanted to read and guess what? The site I was on had none of them.

By then I was finally selected one. I couldn't download it. And then when I finally started the book, we had arrived. Just one chapter of the whole journey.

However, again, I went searching for a remedy and I found it. Scribbed. That's SCRIBED. Scribbed. With Scribbed, you can access the largest digital library in the world right from your favorite device.
