In episode 178 of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, I discuss the Origin of Being with Jenny Powers, PhD. We discuss some things that have resulted in chronic illness, including thyroid disorders.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

What drives chronic illness today.
How our diets and lifestyles are changing faster than we can evolve to them.
How our sleep behaviors compromise our health.
The mismatch between the food we eat today and how our bodies evolved.
The evolutionary-driven nutrition rules.
The importance of work/rest balance.
How can learning about our evolutionary journey help us improve our lives?
And more...

Jenny Powers, PhD, is a mom, a writer, a scientist, and an athlete from Colorado. Her PhD is in Immunology, but she left academia to be a mom and to pursue a writing career. Until then, she had only ever written scientific journal articles, so the opportunity to research and write "On the Origin of Being" with Luke Comer, her co-author, felt like kismet. It allowed her scientific training and my passion for writing to come together in many ways. It allowed her to learn so much about her own health and wellness on her journey of writing this book and continue to learn more every day with the connections she has made.
