Remember, please send us your question if you'd like us to answer it on the show. Today we are thrilled to be interviewing Robb Wolf! Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist, health expert, and author of the New York Times bestseller The Paleo Solution and has written the eagerly anticipated Wired To Eat. He has been a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism and Journal of Evolutionary Health; serves on the board of directors of Specialty Health medical clinic in Reno, Nevada; and is a consultant for the Naval Special Warfare Resilience Program. Robb is also a former California State powerlifting champion and holds the rank of blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He lives in Reno, Nevada with his wife Nicki, and daughters Zoe and Sagan. We constantly hear the advice that we must eat less and move more, but our attempt usually leads us to fall short of reaching our health goals. Tune in today to hear Robb Wolf's eye opening explanation about why this hasn't proven to be an effective strategy. Join us as Robb shares the compelling reasons why he wrote his new book Wired To Eat. Robb explains how our genetic disposition to eat more and move less combined with our modern environment and engineered foods is a force fighting against our attempts to achieve our health goals. Robb also shares his controversial opinion on our desire to create a healthy relationship with food and why social connection and community are vital to our health. You won’t want to miss a minute of our discussion! Here are some of the questions we discussed with Robb: What made you feel like you needed to write another book after the The Paleo Solution? Can you tell our listeners about the theory of hyper palatability and the neuroregulation of appetite, and how they can use this information in a practical way? How do you feel like this theory can apply to people that are doing more of a Paleo/primal type diet? Can you share a little bit about what your perspective is on the topic of a healthy relationship with food and how that plays into the neurobiology factor? Why did you focus so heavily on community and relationships instead of just food in your book? How important do you think it is?
