Thaddeus Owen, known as The Primal Hacker, is a chemical engineer by training, health researcher, educator, and author whose work explores how the modern environment shapes human biology. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Clarkson University and a master’s degree in holistic nutrition, and was certified in the first-ever class of Bulletproof coaches.
After years working in pharmaceutical product development and sustainability engineering, Thaddeus turned his analytical background toward ancestral health, circadian rhythms, light, temperature, sleep, and seasonal nutrition. He is the author of The Hibernation Diet, which explores the relationship between changing light exposure, seasonal rhythms, sleep, metabolism, appetite, and health.
Known for translating complex ideas into practical strategies for modern life, Thaddeus invites people to look beyond food alone and consider the powerful environmental signals our biology responds to every day.
