Richard Hamilton, Ph.D. is a scientist, entrepreneur, and author passionate about uncovering the biological foundations of health, wellness, and longevity. With a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from Vanderbilt University and postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Hamilton has spent his career exploring the intricate relationship between evolution, genetics, and human vitality.
Drawing from his expertise in nutrition, DNA repair, embryology, and epigenetics, Richard brings a unique scientific lens to the study of how our modern lifestyles impact our health. His research and writing focus on helping people reconnect with the evolutionary blueprint that nature designed—revealing how lifestyle, not just diet or exercise, determines well-being.
An avid outdoorsman and adventurer, Hamilton finds inspiration in the natural world through rafting, backcountry skiing, water skiing, and hiking. His love for science and nature come together in his groundbreaking book, Live Like Lucy – Surviving Ourselves and Our 21st Century Society, which takes readers on a journey through history, biology, and human evolution to understand what it truly means to live well in the modern age.
Where evolution meets modern medicine. “Few books have bridged the gap between molecular biology and lifestyle as masterfully as this one. Live Like Lucy is a tour de force that challenges our assumptions about health, urging readers to rediscover the harmony between mind, body, and biology.” — The Evolutionary Times
