Meet Dr. Jenny Powers, author of the book On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance Your Quality of Life.
Are you living the way your body was designed to thrive?
On this week’s Better Health Bookshelf, I’m featuring the book On the Origin of Being with co-author, Dr. Jenny Powers.
Dr. Jenny is an immunologist, researcher, and writer who has spent years studying how modern life misaligns with the way we evolved to live.
In this episode, we uncover how primal health—aligning our lifestyle with our natural biology—can improve sleep, nutrition, stress levels, and our relationship with nature. Jenny shares insights on why modern life often leaves us feeling off balance and what we can do to reconnect with our biological roots.
From how our ancestors thrived without processed food to why our bodies crave natural light, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways that can help you reclaim a healthier, more vibrant life.
