I episode 26 av podcasten forsøker vi å sette ord på vanskeligheten av å forholde seg skeptisk i møte med nyheter, holdninger og forskning på ernæring og helse. Hvordan kan vi forholde oss til alt dette uten å bli fullstendig overveldet og handlingslammet, unngå usunt helsehysteri, og forbli skeptiske uten å gjøre dette til en fulltidsjobb? Og går det an å ta livet av noen av de mest seiglivede ernæringsmyter altfor mange av oss fortsetter å ta for god fisk? Og hvorfor klarer ikke ernæringsråd og medisin å holde tritt med de nyeste innsikter fra forskningen? Og mye mer…

 

Det ble en lang episode, hvor vi beveger oss fra konkrete eksempler på hvordan evolusjonsteorien kan være med på å forklare sykdommer og samtidig ofte er for kompleks til å kunne trekke endelige slutninger, til (forhåpentligvis) gode råd man kan bruke i hverdagslivet. Lykke til!

Vi er enormt takknemlige for alle som liker og deler episoder, for å ikke snakke om de som lytter! Episodene lages alltid med en slags overoptimistisk tro på opplysningens, kunnskapens og skepsisens potensiale, samt en nysgjerrig glede over å få lære om og fordype seg i alskens tema vi fatter interesse for. Del oss videre om du synes dette er verdier vi alle burde bygge videre på, og gi oss gjerne kritikk og still de spørsmål som episodene lar deg sitte igjen med. Mest sannsynligvis har vi ikke noe svar på stående fot, men det kan man kanskje gjøre noe med...

We recently talked to Scott Carney, author of the recently published What doesn’t kill us (get the audiobook!). In it he investigates and subjects himself to cold, ice baths and other rather unusual training regimens, and discusses the detrimental effects of the comfort of our modern lives on our physical and mental health. He also goes on adventures, although with a sceptical mindset ever present, with the dutch “iceman” Wim Hof. It is a book about human biology and evolution, the possible causes and treatments of many of our modern day illnesses, and about realising that there is a lot of hidden comfort to be found in going beyond our comfort zone. 

 

We didn't get into all the specifics of the breathing techniques and other methods, mostly because this has been covered in great detail in interviews on other podcasts. Just google "scott carney podcast" for more on this. We believe our episode is still worth a listen after having heard some of these. 

 

Scott has also written two more books, The Red Market, and Death on Diamond Mountain, that we also touch upon in the podcast, as well as a lot of articles. Go to his webpage http://www.scottcarney.com for more info about him and his work. Thank you Scott! 

 

This is our first episode in English, and we decided to not put in any intro in Norwegian, to keep it in just one language. All our other episodes are so far in Norwegian, but we would love to make more in English. If you have any feedback or requests, let us know at larsogpaal@gmail.com, or at our facebook page. And if you would, please rate our show on Itunes, that’s always helpful.  

 

And by the way, the quote that we slightly mangle during the episode, stems from an essay from 1973 by the russian-american biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky, and is actually the title of the essay: "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution”. 

 

Alt godt, hilsen Lars og Pål
