「你是進化的極品嗎？」，這是我經常提出的問題，問我自己，也問與我對話或聽我授課的人。

我們正享受著大腦進化所帶來的豐碩成果，卻對身體進化的意義漠不關心。

我的領悟是：飲食文明與醫藥文明，聯手凌遲了身體進化的累積與智慧。

如今，斷食幾乎成為唯一能讓身體回歸進化軌道的方式。

用心實踐斷食的人，最終會覺悟；尊重進化之身的人，自然會擁抱斷食之道。

 

進化是一種極為抽象的存在，雖然我們難以感知它的歷程，但只要用心體察身體的細微表現，認知自癒力的潛能。

我們不得不承認：身為人類的我們，本身就是進化的代表作品。

進化，是生存能力的歷史，是對惡劣環境的適應突破，是生物預見未來趨勢的證明。

每一個生物體，都是時間以億萬年為單位，所雕琢出的奇蹟。人類，無疑是其中的極品。

若我們不珍惜這份進化成果，是否就成了暴殄天物的典型？若我們濫用或忽視進化所贈與的資產，是否就是捨本逐末的寫照？

 

「身體不會犯錯」，是許多人從人體自癒機制中領悟的真理，那麼「進化不會犯錯」也就成了合乎邏輯的推論。

當我們面對各種難以解釋的重症與病變時，究竟是進化失策了，還是人類誤解了進化的深意？

進化所保留下來的每一個器官，皆儲存著生存的意圖，我們卻聽聞越來越多器官「無用論」的說法。

從實務統計來看，被醫療體系大量摘除的器官如盲腸、膽囊與子宮，是否正好說明了人類對進化的漠視？

 

我們究竟應該教育大眾學會預防器官發炎，還是該教育他們理解每一個器官存在的深層意義？

為什麼一旦發炎，就面臨被割除的風險？執刀背後的動機與認知是否經得起檢視？醫學所強調的風險論述，真的無懈可擊？

當我們不加思索的摘除那些進化保留下來的器官時，是否已遠遠偏離了自然的設計？這是進化的漏洞，還是人類的輕率與傲慢？

從整體觀來看，現代人體的狀態，是進化還是退化？其中是否有人性的介入？

究竟是進化的力量大，還是人類意識的干預更甚？看看我們廣泛儲存體內毒素的現象，就能明白：人類正大規模背離進化，肆意改寫自然的劇本。

 

如果我們要理解進化的核心動機，沒有任何一種力量能比「愛」更強大。這份愛，深深烙印在女性的卵巢之中。

卵巢，作為生殖的核心器官，每個月都要為懷孕創造一次機會。

進化給它的指令是：必須確認食物供應無虞，才允許排卵。也就是說，在食物匱乏的環境下，生育不被允許。

而判斷食物充足與否的關鍵，就在胰島素的訊號，於是，卵巢成為對胰島素高度敏感的器官。

食物充足是必要條件，但現代社會的食物氾濫遠超出進化的預期。

人類的進食頻率與飲食內容，讓身體處理食物的負擔過重，進而導致胰島素訊號混亂，卵巢對訊息的接收也出現誤判。

 

這，正是進化的失策之一。

但真正的主謀，卻是我們自己：高澱粉主食的依賴、三餐定時的習慣、以及對進化智慧的輕忽，讓身體系統逐步失衡。

卵巢每次為懷孕所做的準備，都是一次精密的工程，即使未受孕，月經的出現也是進化巧思的展現。

這一切的背景，是胰島素與內分泌的穩定平衡。

但進食過於頻繁，打亂了這個平衡。胰島素阻抗的出現，本是一種警訊，是身體企圖停損的訊號，我們卻無從察覺。

「不餓不吃」，代表身體處在進化設定下的穩定狀態，但現代人因高澱粉飲食導致的假性飢餓，徹底擾亂了這份自主。

當血糖劇烈震盪，胰島素失去原始的節奏，卵泡釋放異常，導致卵巢囊腫，進化無法預見這一切。

婦科問題，成為現代女性心中最深的羅生門。面對這些異常，臨床醫師只能協助病患「面對結果」，而無法解釋原因，甚至無力深究。（待續）

 

（要成為女人，不只需要勇氣（英文有男性器官的隱喻），還需要卵巢。）

Evolution’s Misstep: The Ovary (Part I)

“Are you the ultimate product of evolution?”
This is a question I often ask—not only of myself, but also of those who converse with me or attend my lectures.
We are enjoying the abundant fruits of our brain’s evolution, yet remain indifferent to the evolution of the body itself.

My realization is this: the civilizations of food and medicine have jointly sabotaged the wisdom and legacy of bodily evolution.
Today, fasting has become almost the only path that allows the body to return to its evolutionary track.
Those who practice fasting with intention will eventually awaken; those who respect their evolutionarily designed body will naturally embrace the way of fasting.

Evolution is an abstract concept. Though we may not directly perceive its course, if we closely observe the body’s subtle expressions and acknowledge the existence of self-healing power, we must admit: we, as human beings, are masterpieces of evolution.

Evolution is the history of survival capacity, a breakthrough in adapting to hostile environments, and a manifestation of biology’s ability to foresee future trends.
Every living organism is a miracle carved out over billions of years. And among them, humans are undoubtedly among the finest.
So if we do not cherish the fruits of evolution, are we not squandering a precious inheritance?
And if we abuse or ignore the gifts bestowed by evolution, aren’t we simply forsaking the essential for the trivial?

“Your body doesn’t make mistakes”—a truth many come to realize through the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
Then logically, one may also infer: “Evolution doesn’t make mistakes.”
Yet, when we are faced with inexplicable diseases and severe conditions, is it evolution that has failed, or have we misunderstood its deeper intent?

Every organ preserved by evolution carries the purpose of survival.
Yet we increasingly hear arguments promoting the “useless organ” theory.
From a practical standpoint, the most frequently removed organs—like the appendix, gallbladder, and uterus—reveal how modern medicine neglects evolutionary design.

Should we be educating people to prevent organ inflammation, or should we be teaching them the deeper meaning of why these organs exist at all?
Why must inflammation often lead to surgical removal?
Are the motivations and assumptions behind these procedures sound?
Is the medical rhetoric around “risk” truly unassailable?

When we thoughtlessly remove organs that were conserved through millennia of evolution, have we not deviated far from nature’s blueprint?
Is this a flaw in evolution, or in human arrogance and haste?

From a broader perspective, is the modern human body evolving—or degenerating?
And to what extent is human interference involved?
Is the power of evolution stronger, or is it overshadowed by the force of human consciousness?

Look no further than the widespread accumulation of toxins in our bodies, and it becomes clear: humanity is abandoning evolution on a massive scale and rewriting nature’s script at will.

If we want to understand the core motive of evolution, no force is stronger than love.
And that love is deeply encoded in the female ovary.

As the central organ of reproduction, the ovary must prepare each month for the possibility of conception.
Its evolutionary instruction is simple: only when food is sufficient should ovulation occur.
In other words, in times of food scarcity, reproduction is not allowed.

How does the ovary assess food availability? The answer lies in insulin signaling.
Thus, the ovary has evolved to be highly sensitive to insulin.

While a sufficient food supply is necessary, modern society’s overabundance of food has far exceeded evolution’s expectations.
Our frequent eating and poor dietary choices overwhelm the body’s metabolic capacity, disrupting insulin signaling and confusing the ovary’s ability to interpret these signals.

This is one of evolution’s critical missteps.
But in truth, the real culprit is us: our dependency on high-starch staples, our rigid three-meal routine, and our disregard for evolutionary intelligence—all contribute to a gradual breakdown of the body’s regulatory systems.

Every monthly preparation for pregnancy is a precise biological project.
Even menstruation, in the absence of conception, is a testament to evolution’s brilliance.
All of this relies on the stable balance between insulin and the endocrine system.

But frequent eating disrupts this balance.
Insulin resistance, which should serve as a warning signal—a biological stop-loss—goes unrecognized.
“Don’t eat unless you’re hungry” was once the body’s natural default.
But now, the false hunger created by high-starch diets has fully overridden that autonomy.

When blood sugar fluctuates dramatically, insulin loses its rhythm.
Follicles release irregularly.
Ovarian cysts appear.
These are developments evolution could not foresee.

Gynecological disorders have become a labyrinth in the hearts of modern women.
And when abnormalities arise, clinicians can only help patients “face the outcome”—they often cannot explain the cause, nor do they have the tools to investigate further.
