Send us a textWhat if everything you've been told about your health destiny being determined by genetics is wrong? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Mark Pettus and Ashley Sheridan challenge conventional wisdom about our ability to transform our health at any age through whole foods nutrition.Ashley shares her personal motivation for embarking on what she calls the "EP Challenge" – a one-month experiment using Essential Provisions meals as the cornerstone of a nutrition reset. At sixty-something, she's noticed concerning changes: decreased energy, mental fog, and high blood pressure that doctors dismissed as "hereditary." Her journey mirrors what many face in midlife: the realization that proactive health management isn't optional for maintaining quality of life and independence.Dr. Pettus introduces a powerful framework for nutritional thinking: asking "What am I getting too much of?" and "What am I not getting enough of?" The discussion ventures into controversial territory, challenging long-held fears about dairy, animal proteins, and natural fats. Instead, they explore how quality sourcing makes all the difference – from regeneratively raised meats to raw milk from pasture-raised cows.Beyond just food, this conversation embraces the holistic nature of health transformation. Morning sunlight exposure, evening lighting choices, time in nature, and visualization practices all complement nutritional changes. As Dr. Pettis explains, when nutrition combines with these ancestral patterns etched into our DNA, "one plus one equals five, and one plus one plus one equals twenty."What makes Ashley's approach particularly valuable is her methodical documentation – journaling meals, energy levels, sleep quality, and physical measurements to create her own "N equals one" case study. Yet both she and Dr. Pettus emphasize that moderation and enjoyment remain important, rejecting all-or-nothing thinking that often sabotages health journeys.Follow along with Ashley's EP Challenge and discover how whole foods nutrition might rewrite your own health story. What changes might you experience in just 30 days of aligning your lifestyle with your body's deepest needs?To learn more about Essential Provisions nutritional products or to purchase: www.essentialprovisions.com
