The Hadza, chocolate, and Resistance Training – with Drew Harrisberg | The Proof Podcast EP 203 [Video]

In Episode # 203, I welcome Drew Harrisberg back to the show for another episode.

I always love having Drew on The Proof, and our regular check-ins offer a great opportunity to recap, review, and discuss topical events outside the constraints of the typical format.

Drew Harrisberg is an exercise physiologist, sports scientist, and has a graduate certificate in diabetes education and management. His education and experience mean that he brings an informed and considered viewpoint to the show and provides a space where we can dip in and out of a variety of topics to pack a lot of information into just one episode.

There’s a lot to learn in Episode #203. We discuss red meat consumption and associated health outcomes, sleep and insulin resistance, and the dietary pattern of the Hadza tribe. We also cover the importance of maintaining activity levels throughout the day and tips to incorporate movement in environments where it’s difficult to do so. For any chocolate lovers listening, we dive into a recent study on cocoa flavanols, and note how much chocolate you can eat for maximum benefit and minimum negative health outcomes.

Specifically, we cover:

0:00 Intro
2:35 Eye Health
8:28 The Hazda Diet
28:03 Carnivore Craze
50:49 Revisiting CGMs
1:04:00 Tips for Regulating Glucose
1:19:58 Benefits of Chocolate
1:37:49 Daily Steps
1:55:12 Resistance Training
2:24:34 Book/ Show Recommendations
2:33:18 Outro

As well as focusing on the science, we share what we’ve been listening to, reading, and enjoying lately. I hope you learn something from this diverse investigation; you can head over to *The Proof* on YouTube to share your feedback, what you enjoyed, and if there’s any guests you’d like to see on the show in future.
