#527: Jenny Powers Ph.D on Hunter Gatherer Diets, Eating Like Our Ancestors and Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance Your Quality of Life!
Jenny Powers is an accomplished writer, scientist, and athlete.
She earned her Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Colorado, Denver; her journey as a collegiate basketball player taught her to push physical boundaries even as she continually expanded her intellectual horizons.
She is deeply inspired by the exploration of human nature and the study of our ancestors; her role in researching and co-authoring On the Origin of Being marks the culmination of this passion to date.
Jenny balances her professional endeavours with her roles as a wife and mother in Colorado.
“The misalignment between our genetic design and modern lifestyle reduces our wellbeing: we investigate human evolution and how to realign."Jenny Powers, PhD
Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:
· The modern world has changed rapidly, but our bodies haven't.
· Hunter-gatherer diets were based on whole foods and seasonal availability.
· Ultra-processed foods can lead to health issues due to nutrient stripping.
· Mindfulness in eating can help reconnect with our body's needs.
· Education about nutrition is crucial for making better choices.
· Understanding cravings can help differentiate between needs and wants.
· Sleep is essential for hormonal regulation and overall health.
· Circadian rhythms influence many bodily functions beyond sleep.
· Our ancestors had a natural rhythm that modern life disrupts.
· Finding balance in nutrition allows for enjoyment without guilt. Sleep quality is influenced by our circadian rhythms and environmental cues.
