200: Eric Edmeades - Closing the Evolution Gap

Eric Edmeades is a globally recognized authority in health, practical psychology, and behavioral transformation. He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about closing the “Evolution Gap.”

For the past 15+ years, Eric has made extensive trips to live with the Hadza Tribe of Tanzania, one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer societies. He even organized the trip Dr. Gustin ventured on with Dr. Paul Saladino!

Eric’s deep immersion and the insights gained from these experiences have significantly informed his work in the health and wellness industry.

His book Postdiabetic offers a holistic, actionable 9-week plan to tackle prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. 

His newest book, The Evolution Gap, explores how the mismatch between our slow biological evolution and rapidly innovating modern lives impacts our health and well-being.
