Why do so many diets lead to more weight gain?
Is exercise essential for weight loss?
Do more active people have faster metabolisms?
Over the past 20 years, evolutionary biologist Herman
Pontzer has conducted ground-breaking studies across a
range of settings, including pioneering fieldwork with
Hadza hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania. In this talk,
Herman draws on his eye-opening research to show how,
contrary to received wisdom, exercise does not increase
our metabolism. By taking a closer look at what happens
to the energy we consume, he explores the ways in which
metabolism controls every aspect of our health - from
fertility to immune function - and reveals the truth about
the dynamic system that sustains us.
