Alex Bezzerides Ph.D. is a professor of biology and author of “Evolution Gone Wrong: The Curious Reasons Why Our Bodies Work (Or Don’t).” He contends our bodies are imperfect, the result of evolutionary compromises between conflicting imperatives. For example, big brains enabled humans to develop technology and language; but our big heads have doomed women to painful and perilous deliveries. Developing an upright posture enabled us to free our remarkable hands; but standing also cursed us with back, knee, and ankle problems. Bezzerides applies this paradigm to other health problems we’re prey to: crooked teeth, failing eyesight, choking deaths, and hernias. Are humans still evolving when we have medical technology to prevent nature from “culling the herd”? Are obesity and blood sugar problems holdovers of traits that once furthered our survival? Dr. Bezzerides is the biology professor I wish I’d had! Click HERE for part 2.
Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down—if you give your body the right support.
As we age, our cells build up damage and their ability to create energy drops. Mitopure, the revolutionary Urolithin A supplement from Timeline, fights back against the forces of time, restoring your energy at the source by igniting mitophagy—your body’s natural anti-aging pathway.
Boost your cellular energy, and enhance muscle strength and endurance—all without changing your diet or exercise routine.
I discovered Mitopure a few years ago, and have made it part of my regular routine.
