Kind of Evolved is a podcast about living a more natural, Earth-friendly life. Hosted by Drew Buonaiuto, you're going to get info, tips, and tutorials about all sorts of topics in a lighthearted, fun, and fast format with some humor mixed in. Humans have done some remarkable things and had such spectacular achievements. Yet, we've moved so far away from the natural world and have embraced a way of life that's hurting us and the planet. Did we evolve as a species, or did we just kind of evolve? Dun dun dunnnnn.
It's fall, and that means it's time to rake up all the leaves in your yard, right? Alright, hold on. Calm it down a bit skippy. It turns out that raking leaves is horrible for wildlife and even the trees in your yard! Plus, aren't you busy!? Raking leaves takes so much time and if you didn't notice, it seems to be something we have to do every single year. I hope you like this episode of Kind of Evolved and please let me know if you stopped raking leaves because of it. Don't forget to subscribe so you know when new episodes are out!
Adhd, Anxiety, and OCD. FUN TIMES! After deciding to never go back on meds again, I've changed my mind. 6 months in, I share my thoughts on why my views have changed on pharmaceuticals even though they're so unnatural. Story time!
Guest episode! Today I'm talking with Kaylee Fichthorn, a physical therapist who is pursuing a certification in horticultural therapy. Did you know that interaction with plants and nature can have a huge impact on the mental and physical heath of people with dementia, autism, and . . . literally everyone else on the planet. This episode has useful info for everyone, but it's especially relevant if you have elderly or autistic people in your life you want to help. I hope you enjoy it!
Taylor Fosset is a wildlife biologist and my guest on this episode. She tells us about her research into human and wildlife interaction and gives us tips on how to make your yard, and life, more animal friendly.
Working from home can be great, but it can also be a bit of a shock to the system when you first start. Here are some tips to avoid common mistakes you might make in the beginning that could effect your mental and physical health.
The first Eco News episode. In these I'm going to be sharing interesting environmental news stories and sharing my take on them!
In this episode I talk about my arch nemesis . . . the perfectly groomed front lawn. Okay, that's a little dramatic. The traditional grass front lawn is terrible for the environment and in this episode I explain why, talk about solutions ranging from quick and cheap to labor intensive and fancy, and then we end with how front lawns were invented. I actually googled that part while I recorded this and found it incredibly fascinating. Yeah, I know, I'm a dork. If you care about the environment and have a lawn of any size, I hope you'll listen to this.
Why natural living? How do I define natural living? Why do I think this is important? In this episode I give a more detailed summary about what's to come on this podcast and why I think these are important things that need to be discussed right now.
Natural soap is good and mass-produced unnatural soap is icky. That pretty much sums up this episode. I'd still suggest listening since there's a lot of good info in this one!
