We’re Gaining Weight In Weird Places with Dr. Herman Pontzer

As we age, items have shifted during flight. We're gaining weight in weird places, and Penn is convinced he has bread back. (More on that in the podcast.) But what if everything you thought you knew about metabolism was actually wrong? We sat down with Dr. Herman Pontzer, Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology and Global Health at Duke University, to ask the age-old question: Can you actually boost your metabolism? The answer may surprise you! You can follow Dr. Herman Pontzer on Instagram at @hpontzer and get his latest book, Adaptable, here: https://amzn.to/42VizuJ

Stick around until the end for "Are We Too Old For All-Inclusive Resorts?" and "Kim's #NotSponsored" endorsement for pelvic floor therapy. Also, what things are we too young for? We would love to hear what you think! Leave us a voicemail at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. You can also watch our podcast on YouTube.
