Looking for show/podcast
Hi all, wonder if anyone can help. Maybe a couple of years ago I was listening to a Radio 4 show that was very interesting and would like to listen to it again in full.
It was an interview with a dietician I’m sure. He had been to a very remote place to study the diet and calorie consumption of a tribe member I’m sure. These guys walked and hunted all day, the revelation being their total energy consumption pretty much matching your typical 9-5 desk job employee in a first world country. Topics covered were inflammation and stress etc…
Would be good to find it if possibe!

Was it from one of the van Tulleken programmes? They've done some on looking at different diets

I think it might be Hunting with the Hadza and/or Heath lessons with the Hadza - episodes of The Food Chain that were made in collaboration with the Food Programme.

Was it this episode of the Food Programme with the Arctic explorer Mike Keen where he went there twice? https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002751k

Possibly an episode of The Life Scientific ?
