The Original Cycle: How Our Intervention on the Planet Has Generated an Evolutionary Mismatch That Has Made Us Ill and What We Can Do to Recover Lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781640956605)

The Original Cycle is a fascinating journey through the ages of humanity, exploring how we lived in harmony with the planet for millions of years as hunter-gatherers. However, in recent centuries, our radical interference with the Earth has had devastating consequences for our health. An unprecedented epidemic of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and cancers is ravaging human beings, revealing an evolutionary mismatch.

This book is an invitation to search for lost balance and health. As our body has evolved over millennia to adapt to the slow changes of the planet, we have abruptly turned it into an inhospitable place for ourselves. Modern medicine has often turned its back on this issue, focusing on keeping the sick alive rather than addressing the roots of our health problems.

Immerse yourself in this exciting narrative that takes us back to our origins in search of health, balance and an environment in which we are better adapted. Discover how we can reconcile our contemporary way of life with our ancestral roots to forge a healthier and more sustainable future. This unmissable book sheds light on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: how to recover the lost balance between us and the planet we call home.
