In #Episode43 of the podcast I sit down for an amazing conversation with the great and powerful Jenny Powers PhD to discuss her recently published book, On the Origin of Being.
I simply cannot recommend the book highly enough, its packed full of insightful information about the way in which our hunter gatherer ancestors used to thrive in life, while at the same time emphasising just how badly us moderns humans have lost our way. Jenny’s writing style is captivating and, personally I could not put it down.
If you are interested in human optimisation and you would like to understand just how easy it is to achieve, this really is the book, and podcast for you. It almost reads as an episode list of the podcast so to say that we were in alignment would be an understatement, yet our differing backgrounds really did allow us to discuss each area from our own perspective leading to a nice, natural and organic conversation.
In fact, it was so organic, that I did not ask any of the questions that I prepared and we both forgot to discuss the wonderful co Author Luke Comer.
So who is Jenny Powers PhD?
Jenny is a mum, a writer, a scientist, and an athlete from Colorado. Her PhD is in Immunology, but she left academia to be a mum and to pursue a writing career. Up to that point, having only ever written scientific articles, the opportunity to research and write "On the Origin of Being" with Luke Comer felt like kismet. It allowed her scientific training and passion for writing to come together in so many ways.
She learned so much about her own health and wellness on her journey of writing this book and continues to learn more every day with the connections she makes. She also writes middle grade novels and short stories. She lives in the Denver, Colorado area with her husband, two kids, and four-legged, furry friends.
All of Jenny’s useful links are below including the Amazon link for the book, order your copy today either on Kindle or in physical form. It really is a captivating read as well as an amazing resource that will teach you valuable information about your natural innate biology.
I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it.
