Happy Saturday, out the door we go!
Health isn’t punishment, it’s physiology.
We’ve been taught that change takes time. That healing is slow. But the truth is, your biology responds to every choice you make almost instantly. You are one walk, one meal, one deep breath away from shifting the entire chemistry of your body.
A single nutrient-dense meal can begin to reprogram your gene expression, flipping on the genes that promote healing and turning off the ones that drive inflammation and disease.
Go for a walk, and you boost levels of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a compound that helps your brain grow, adapt, and protect itself against aging.
Take a few deep, slow breaths and your vagus nerve kicks in, activating your parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol, and shifting you out of stress mode and into repair mode.
These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re real-time biological events. And they add up.
Everything you’re exposed to over the course of your life, from diet to stress to toxins shapes your health more than your genes ever will. That means you’re not at the mercy of your DNA.
You are the CEO of your own health.
