304. Forrest Galante: Why Comfort Is What Actually Ages You

Wildlife biologist Forrest Galante has spent his life around animals that have constant access to food and never eat themselves into obesity or liver disease, and he argues that what humans do traces back to the one thing we have spent a century engineering out of our lives. Gary and Forrest get into why the aggressive pursuit of comfort may be what is aging you fastest.
