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.

The Paleo Myth

Carnivore. Vegan. Mediterranean. Paleo. Each one tells the same story: that there was once a natural, correct way of eating.
Everyone wants to believe there is a one size fits all diet.
In this episode of Modern Bodies, we start with food to ask a deeper question:
Do humans actually have a natural diet at all?
And if we do… is it the “paleo diet” we’ve all heard so much about?
This episode isn’t about telling you how to eat.
It’s about looking at food through the lens of human evolution — and seeing the modern diet conversation in a completely different way.
