Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Jenny Powers, a former academic turned writer, as she reveals how evolutionary biology can unlock the secrets to modern wellness. Discover how societal structures might be at the heart of your burnout and how embracing our ancestral roots could be the key to reclaiming your health. Through the lens of her book "On the Origin of Being," Jenny invites us to rethink our relationships with sleep, nutrition, and nature, providing a fresh perspective on aligning our lifestyles with our biological design.

Ever wondered if the paleo diet is really all it's cracked up to be? Get ready to challenge popular misconceptions about ancestral diets with our exploration of evolutionary nutrition. From the diverse diets of ancient cultures to the impacts of the agricultural revolution, Jenny breaks down why whole foods are essential and how our bodies have adapted to different dietary needs. We also emphasize the importance of personalized nutrition, revealing why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to eating well.

As we wrap up, the conversation shifts to the profound power of nature in enhancing our well-being. Listen as we discuss the benefits of syncing our lives with natural light cycles and the stress-reducing magic of the great outdoors. Reflecting on cultural attitudes towards work and productivity, we look at how practices from different parts of the world can inform a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical strategies for navigating the complexities of modern life through a timeless, evolutionary lens.
