Dr. Milind Watve
Dr. Watve's discussion about the evolutionary pressures that are effecting obesity, insulin resistance and other associated diseases is as outside-the-box as one can imagine. Imagine that our body's response to the lack of aggression, risk and fear are causing us to respond differently. This response makes us prone to fat accumulation. And exercise protocols that reintroduce the risk and fear components that we evolved under can actually be part of the prescription to change the outcome of disease! This is a must-hear game-changing interview.
