Humans are ancient creatures living in a very new world.
Modern Bodies is a podcast about how humans became human — and how our past continues to shape the bodies and minds we live in today.
Through food, stories, and rituals, we explore the long human journey: how we learned to eat, gather, build, move, bond, believe, and create meaning together. From fire and tools to myth and culture, each episode examines the everyday forces that quietly shaped who we are — and why sometimes modern life often feels so different from what our bodies evolved for.
Modern Bodies is for curious minds — for people who enjoy thoughtful stories and want to understand humanity not as a problem to solve, but as a story still unfolding.

This episode marks a new chapter for the show.
Well With Felicia is now Modern Bodies — a podcast about how humans became human, and how ancient biology still shapes our experience of modern life.
In this short episode, I share why the show is evolving, what hasn’t changed, and the lens we’ll be using going forward: evolution, anthropology, and history.
For most of human history, survival depended on movement, cooperation, shared knowledge, and attunement to natural rhythms. Modern life didn’t erase those bodies and brains — it layered new systems on top of them, very quickly.
When we don’t understand where we came from, it’s easy to misunderstand ourselves. Stress looks like weakness. Restlessness feels like failure. Discomfort becomes something to fix.
But many of these tensions aren’t personal flaws — they’re ancient systems trying to function in environments they were never designed for.
Modern Bodies explores that mismatch to help you understand the deeper story you’re carrying in your body.
If you’ve been here for curiosity about food, health, or the body, you’re still in the right place.
And if you’re curious about humanity itself, I think you’re really going to like where this is going.
