Dr Lieberman is the Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on how the human body has evolved to be the way it is, he also explores how humans evolved to run long distances to scavenge and hunt.He is the author of the best-selling books, ‘The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease’ and ‘Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding’. In this conversation Dr Lieberman and Steven discuss topics, such as: Sitting isn’t actually the new smoking The unseen health benefits of running The best exercises for a healthy life Why you don’t need 8 hours of sleep a night Separating the health myths from reality How the world has become too comfortable How 74% of diseases can be prevented Ways to hack and boost productivity You can purchase Dr Lieberman’s newest book, ‘Exercised: The Science of Physical Activity, Rest and Health’, here: https://amzn.to/49udz2vFollow me:https://beacons.ai/diaryofaceo Learn more about your ad choices.

Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman explores how understanding our evolutionary past can help us navigate modern health challenges. Topics include the significance of exercise, evolution of human teeth, the mismatch hypothesis, sleep patterns, debunking the 10,000 steps myth, and personalized physical activity goals.

Renowned Harvard Professor Daniel Lieberman discusses the profound impact of exercise on health, challenging the modern notion of avoiding physical activity. He emphasizes the physiological benefits of exercise, highlights strategies for staying active, and stresses the importance of public education for healthy lifestyles. The episode challenges listeners to prioritize health in a sedentary world.

Today, psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, coauthor of The Molecule of More, and author of his latest book Spellbound leads us down a new path: one where we learn how to recognize the influences of the unconscious, making it an ally in helping us become the people we were meant to be. The unconscious mind is still very much an enigma, but it influences our lives in ways we can only begin to imagine. Much of what we experience, our moods, what we like and dislike—most of who we are originates with the unconscious. But it’s not always working in our favor. Get in touch.

Harvard Professor Daniel Lieberman debunks myths about exercise. He explains that 7 hours of sleep is better than 8 and sitting isn't bad if interrupted. He clarifies exercise's impact on weight loss, stating that 150 minutes per week is insufficient. He emphasizes the complex truth about diet and exercise.

TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast discusses fasting and its advice may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder. If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before going for prolonged periods without eating.Every few months or so, my team and I put together a special compilation episode, which features some of the very best tips around a central unified theme. This week’s episode is all about longevity. Many of us think we would not like to live into old age because we associate it with illness and discomfort. But this does not need to be the case. There are simple things we can all do that could increase our health span as well as our life span. As you will hear in this episode, decline is not inevitable as we get older and there are many factors under our control that can affect how we age - from how we exercise, to how much we sleep, how we use our brain and what and when we eat.You’ll also hear why compassion, community, purpose and friendship are important for our health and our lifespan. And why certain types of stress can actually be good for us and help us to live longer. Studies even show that our happiness, our mindset, and approach to life can be a factor in how long we live.Finally, you’ll hear a clip about whether ageing should be seen as a disease that we can treat and a discussion about what ageing might look like in the future. I really believe that the changes we can make to improve our health and longevity are a lot more achievable than many of us think. I hope this episode helps you to find ways to implement some small daily habits that will help you to live a long, healthy, active and fulfilling life. This episode includes clips from:Episode 208 David SinclairEpisode 147 Matthew WalkerEpisode 112 Daniel LevitinEpisode 74 Felice JackaEpisode 81 Satchin PandaEpisode 151 Laurie SantosEpisode 138 Julian AbelEpisode 167 Tommy WoodEpisode 128 Daniel LiebermanEpisode 67 Dan BuettnerEpisode 197 James NestorEpisode 206 Roger SeheultThanks to our sponsors: https://www.leafyard.com/livemore https://www.blublox.com/livemore https://www.athleticgreens.com/livemoreOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book Happy Mind, Happy Life: UK version and US & Canada version Show notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/240DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Dr. Daniel Lieberman, senior VP for mental health at Hims & Hers Health, discusses the power of dopamine. He explains what dopamine is, its effects on motivation, discipline, and happiness, and offers practical steps to control it. He also talks about social media's impact on dopamine, the difference between desire and pleasure circuits, and finding happiness in the modern world. He explores the implications of humanity without dopamine, modern-day addictions, and overcoming bad dopamine behavior.

Daniel Lieberman, a paleoanthropologist at Harvard, explains how our bodies evolved to hold onto fat for survival. They discuss the challenges and resistance our bodies have towards weight loss. Professor Lieberman discusses the paleo diet and highlights the importance of eating plant-based foods and avoiding processed ones.

Human beings are distinctly weird. We live for a very long time after we stop reproducing, move completely differently than all of our closest relatives, lack the power of chimpanzees and other primates but completely outdo most other terrestrial mammals in a contest of endurance. If we think about bodies as hypotheses about the stable features of their ancestral environments, what do the features of our unusual physiology say about what humans ARE, where we come from, the details of our origin story as a profoundly successful species? And what can we learn by telescoping that story forward to explain some of the most persistent puzzles and paradoxes about our health, the way we age, our need for physical exercise, and our nearly ubiquitous aversion to habits that are good for us?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I’m your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we’ll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week, we sprint into the paleoanthropology, biomechanics, and physiology of exercise with Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman, author of several books including Exercised, The Story of the Human Body, and The Evolution of the Human Head. In our rapid-fire discussion we explore how millions of years as hunter-gatherers equipped hominids with a unique package of adaptations for endurance running, why exercise is so good for us but so generally undesirable, and how physical activity in old age helped shape us into the strongly intergenerational social apes we are today.Be sure to check out our extensive show notes with links to all our references at complexity.simplecast.com.

Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard evolutionary biology professor and author, delves into the paradox that humans did not evolve to exercise but rather for physical activities necessary for survival. He discusses how modern sedentary lifestyles contribute to health issues and why understanding our evolutionary past is crucial. Lieberman also challenges traditional views on sleep and exercise, suggesting optimal sleep is around six to seven hours and advocating for a balanced approach to physical activity. He critiques BMI as a health measure, emphasizing the importance of fat distribution and the need for preventative health through diet and exercise.
