This episode is a must if you’ve ever felt like your body was totally working against you, or like no matter how “healthy” you try to be, something still feels off.
I sat down with the amazing Jenny Powers, a total powerhouse (and also a scientist, educator, and author) who breaks down biology in a way that actually makes sense for real life - especially for women 45 and up. We’re talking evolution, hormones, burnout, energy, and how to finally feel like yourself again.
Jenny gets into this idea of “evolutionary mismatch” ... aka, how our modern lives are kind of out of sync with what our bodies were actually designed for. And once you hear her explain it, so much of what you’ve been dealing with starts to make sense.
We also chat about:
- Why you’re not “broken” ... your biology just needs some love
- How to make small, doable shifts that help you feel better fast
- Why midlife is actually the perfect time to reset and reclaim your vitality
- And how healing doesn’t have to be hard, confusing, or overwhelming
Jenny is smart as heck but so down-to-earth, and this convo is like a permission slip to stop pushing so hard and start working with your body instead of against it.
If you’re tired of feeling tired, want to feel more energized and alive, or you’re just curious about how to feel better in your own skin—this one’s for you.
