Returning to our Ancestral Diets with Jenny Powers, PhD | EP 95

The transition from our ancestral diets to our modern day diets has left us in an evolutionary mismatch. By returning to a more ancestral-like diet, we can regain alignment with our evolutionary biology and promote better health. Meet Jenny Powers, PhD, the co-author of the book, "On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance Your Quality of Life." In this episode of the NTI PodTalk, Dianne and Jenny delve into the concept of evolutionary mismatch in modern diets and its impact on health and wellness, the influence of corporations on our food choices, and how we can reclaim our ancestral diet for better health.  About Jenny: Jenny Powers 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. Up to that point, she'd 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 passion for writing to come together in many ways. She learned so much about her own health and wellness on the journey of writing this book and continues to learn more every day with the connections she has made through the book. **Timestamps for the topics discussed can be found on this episode's NTI PodTalk page Are you ready to start your journey as a Nutrition Therapist Master or Natural Food Chef?
