In this special episode, Jim takes us on a captivating journey to Tanzania, where he had a unique encounter with the Hadza tribe. As an amateur archaeologist and co-author of "Ready for TAKEOFF!," Jim explores the profound connection between our evolutionary past and the Hadza's way of life. The trip, a thoughtful birthday gift from Natasa, was organized by Eric Edmeades, founder of WildFit, providing a holistic experience in the natural environment our ancestors once inhabited.

Jim shares insights from witnessing the Hadzas' stress management, nutrition, movement, and sleep practices. The Hadza's ability to handle acute stress, followed by natural relaxation, serves as a lesson in managing chronic stress. Their diet, dictated by seasonality and availability, contrasts with our year-round abundance, highlighting the importance of mimicking natural patterns.

The Hadza's fitness routine, grounded in functional movement during hunts, challenges Jim's own training. Their lifestyle emphasizes the necessity of incorporating movement into daily life, a crucial topic discussed in "Ready for TAKEOFF!"

The podcast delves into the Hadza's sleep patterns, aligning with natural rhythms. Jim recounts magical nights under the African sky, emphasizing the impact of our modern, sleep-deprived lives.

Concluding with reflections on the trip, Natasa and Jim underscore the Hadza's embodiment of ancient health principles and announce plans for a future trip to Tanzania, inviting listeners to join this immersive experience.
