Yes! As a matter of fact, many genes can be “reprogrammed” or turned on/off!

Sorry! Actually, the new and exciting field of epigenetics shows us that many genes are influenced by the environment in which we provide for them.

Uh oh! Did you know that blue light from these devices interrupt your natural circadian rhythm? This means that hormones such as cortisol and melatonin are out of balance and timing, which can wreak havoc on your health!

 

Do you have job that requires you to sit at a desk or in your car for extended periods of time?

That’s awesome! In modern-day life, it can be difficult to stay away from these devices. It’s especially important to steer clear of these blue light emitting devices after the sun goes down.

Actually, the calories in/calories out theory has been debunked! Maybe that’s why so many people fail miserably when they go on the “eat-like-a-bird and exercise-like-a-beast” diet!

 

Genetically speaking, we are basically the same as our primal ancestors. Our genes haven’t changed, our environment has.

Correct! Believe it or not, losing weight has more to do with hormone balance, stress reduction, and sleep quality than restricting calories and exercising. No wonder people usually gain most or all the weight back from that fad diet!

That’s exactly right, and the premise of Ancestral Health Coaching!
