#111 Pondcast with Patrick Owen

from Better the Pond---PondCast Hosted by Warren Barry

What if our biggest problems today are rooted in how far we’ve drifted from what we were designed for? In this episode of the Better the Pond Pondcast, I sat down with Patrick—a McGill University lecturer and expert in ethnobotany and evolutionary health—to explore some of the most raw, real, and relevant issues of our time: • Navigating personal transitions and the growth that comes with them • The disconnect between modern life and ancestral wisdom • What Papua New Guinea and Tibet taught him about nutrition and adaptation • How hyper-individualism, social media, and AI are hijacking our biology • Why belonging to a tribe might just be our most critical survival strategy This isn’t just theory—Patrick lives it. And his ability to translate ancient insight into modern relevance is exactly the kind of voice we need more of. Listen in and ask yourself: Are we evolving together, or drifting apart??
