According to the CDC epigenetics is a combination of way your behaviors and environment can impact the way your genes. If they turn "on" or "off."
What we feed ourselves, literally, figuratively, metaphorically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually - has impact.
I've heard it said who you have around you, determines your capacity... Capacity for love, achieving, succeeding, flourishing...and also for nourishing others.
The same is true for how our cells impact each other. When we have unhealthy cells trying to survive, they may also have low energy stores, altered gene expressions, diminished ability to maintain status quo. If you could choose, you likely wouldn't choose that cell to be the architectural plan for the next generation. Cells replicate or replace each other at different rates, some faster taking only days, some take longer years in the various tissues of our bodies.
Surround yourself with good food, keep it in the fridge and on hand. Do the same for the company you keep, the thoughts you think, the things you feel.
If you're making as much progress as you'd like in certain areas, and it isn't because you don't have "good food in the fridge"... you might feel stuck like a stick in the mud while you're doing all the right things: eating the right things, exercising the right way, meditating the right way, limiting your screen time in the right way... the issue isn't that you don't have the 'good food' or the right information. The gap exists between your system being able to interact with or receive it.
This is where the care at Evolve shines. As your nervous system gets healthier, you body will be able to respond more accurately to all the things you're doing, less exhausted by doing all of it, and get the rewards and benefits of it.

Epigenetics are important! When playing with this doesn't give us what we're hoping for, it's because something else needs to come online first. Seek something that attends to all of you! Keep going! You're closer than you believe!
