Send us a textNature deficit syndrome is silently affecting millions as we spend over 95% of our lives indoors beneath artificial lighting that disrupts our biology at the most fundamental level. Dr. Mark Pettus delivers a compelling exploration of this modern disconnection, introducing the powerful concept that our current "junk light" epidemic may soon be viewed with the same concern we now direct toward processed foods.Drawing from both scientific research and ancient wisdom traditions, Dr. Pettus reveals how the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) offers a profound antidote to our indoor, technology-dominated existence. The evidence is remarkable – even brief nature immersion triggers measurable shifts from sympathetic nervous system dominance (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic activation (rest and digest), resulting in lower blood pressure, improved heart rate variability, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune function through natural killer cell activation.At the heart of this discussion lies a philosophical revelation about human existence itself. The "illusion of separateness" that characterizes modern living contradicts our true biological nature as integral parts of a larger ecosystem. When we reconnect with natural environments – feeling the sunlight, breathing forest air rich with beneficial compounds, and simply being present – we synchronize with rhythms and frequencies our bodies inherently recognize. This reconnection doesn't require abandoning modern life but rather intentionally incorporating nature exposure alongside other ancestral practices to create states of clarity, focus, and happiness that aren't random gifts of fortune but natural conditions we can cultivate.

Send us a textAt a time when anxiety and depression rates are soaring across all age groups, Dr. Mark Pettus cuts through the noise with revelatory insights into how our daily choices shape our mental landscape. This compelling exploration connects the dots between what's on your plate, how you move through your day, and the remarkable resilience of your brain.Dr. Pettus introduces the concept of allostatic load—how our bodies interpret and respond to environmental stressors—and reveals why our modern lifestyle creates the perfect storm for mental health challenges. Rather than viewing mood disorders as purely psychological phenomena, he presents compelling evidence that insulin resistance, inflammation, and disrupted circadian rhythms form the physiological foundation of many mental health struggles.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Pettus explains how rapid blood sugar fluctuations can trigger symptoms indistinguishable from anxiety attacks. That afternoon panic might actually be the aftermath of your lunch choices! Through practical nutritional principles focused on whole foods, lower glycemic options, and nutrient density, he offers actionable strategies to support neuroplasticity—your brain's remarkable ability to generate new cells and neural pathways throughout life.Beyond diet, we discover how Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)—essentially "miracle grow for the brain"—can be boosted through movement (especially dancing!), natural light exposure, time in nature, and specific foods. The gut-brain connection emerges as another critical pathway, with our microbiome directly influencing neurotransmitter production and mood regulation. Most empowering is the concept of metabolic flexibility—how developing your body's ability to efficiently switch between fuel sources enhances both cognitive function and emotional stability.Weaving together ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience, Dr. Pettus presents a holistic framework that honors our evolutionary design while navigating modern challenges. This isn't about quick fixes or magic pills—it's about building sustainable resilience through aligned lifestyle choices that activate our innate capacity for wellbeing.Ready to rewire your approach to mental health? Listen now and discover how small, strategic shifts in your daily habits can transform your mind, mood, and quality of life.

Send us a textThe rhythms of nature have orchestrated human biology for millennia, but our modern lifestyle has disconnected us from these essential patterns. Dr. Mark Pettus takes us on a fascinating journey through the science of circadian rhythms, revealing how light serves as crucial information that synchronizes every cell in our bodies with the natural day-night cycle.From ancient Hippocrates to Nobel Prize-winning research, the evidence is clear: our bodies respond profoundly to light quality and timing. Yet today, we spend over 90% of our time indoors under artificial lighting that bears little resemblance to natural sunlight. This mismatch disrupts our internal clocks and increases risk for depression, anxiety, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer—all conditions that ancestral cultures living in alignment with natural light cycles rarely experienced.Dr. Pettus explores how different wavelengths of light trigger specific biological responses. Morning blue light naturally stimulates alertness and cortisol production—precisely what we need to start our day. Evening sunset, with its red-orange spectrum, signals our bodies to reduce cortisol and increase melatonin for restoration and repair. When we expose ourselves to bright blue-rich light after sunset through screens and indoor lighting, we essentially trick our bodies into thinking it's morning, suppressing critical healing processes.The good news? Simple changes can dramatically improve circadian alignment. Just 5-10 minutes of morning sunlight exposure helps anchor your biological clock. Using appropriate lighting throughout the day—brighter, cooler lights in morning hours and warmer, dimmer lights after sunset—can mimic natural patterns. These small adjustments yield profound benefits for sleep quality, mood, cognitive performance, and long-term health.

Send us a textCurious about natural alternatives to expensive GLP-1 medications like Ozempic? Dr. Mark Pettus unveils powerful nutritional strategies to boost your body's own GLP-1 production for improved metabolic health and sustainable weight management.This eye-opening presentation dives into the fascinating relationship between your diet, gut microbiome, and GLP-1 production. Dr. Pettus, a kidney and integrative medicine specialist with 40 years of medical experience, explains how quality protein, healthy fats, fiber-rich foods, and even bitter-tasting ingredients can stimulate your natural GLP-1 pathways without prescription medications.You'll discover why the timing of your meals and exposure to natural light dramatically impacts hormone production, and how simple lifestyle adjustments can synchronize your circadian rhythms for optimal metabolic health. Dr. Pettus challenges conventional nutritional wisdom with evidence-based perspectives on protein requirements, healthy fats, and the critical importance of preserving muscle mass during weight loss.Whether you're currently taking GLP-1 medications and seeking complementary strategies, looking for natural alternatives, or simply interested in optimizing your metabolic health, this webinar provides practical, accessible approaches based on cutting-edge nutritional science. Learn how to work with your body's natural hormonal systems rather than bypassing them, potentially reducing your dependence on expensive pharmaceutical interventions while improving your overall health.Take control of your metabolic health through these natural nutritional strategies to enhance your body's own GLP-1 production.

Send us a textChronic inflammation has emerged as one of the most significant drivers behind virtually all modern health challenges. In this thought-provoking exploration, Dr. Mark Pettus reveals why researchers now refer to inflammation as "the cause of everything" and introduces the concept of "inflammaging" – how chronic inflammation accelerates biological aging and compromises quality of life.Dr. Pettus takes us beyond conventional medical thinking to understand that while inflammation is an essential protective mechanism, it becomes destructive when chronically activated. Our modern environment, filled with processed foods, chronic stress, environmental toxins, and disrupted sleep patterns, keeps this system perpetually triggered, setting the stage for everything from diabetes to autoimmune conditions.The most eye-opening revelations come when Dr. Pettis challenges popular nutritional dogma. He explains why fat has been unfairly vilified while highlighting how the standard American diet—dominated by processed carbohydrates and industrial seed oils—creates the perfect inflammatory storm. You'll discover why quality animal proteins and fats may be critical anti-inflammatory allies while learning how to identify truly nutritious foods that align with your biology.Beyond nutrition, you'll gain practical insights into creating a comprehensive anti-inflammatory lifestyle through improved sleep, stress management, movement, and perhaps most surprisingly, through cultivating self-love and meaningful connections. Dr. Pettus shares specific testing recommendations to objectively measure your inflammation levels and track your progress.Whether you're dealing with chronic health challenges, carrying extra weight, struggling with energy levels, or simply want to optimize your health span, this presentation offers a refreshing perspective that empowers you to address root causes rather than merely managing symptoms. Take the first step toward creating an anti-inflammatory lifestyle by implementing these evidence-based strategies today.For video recording and slide deck go to www.thehealthedgepodcast.comFor Essential Provisions Nutritional Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) go to www.essentialprovisions.com
Send us a textPrepare to have your understanding of genetics completely transformed. The revolutionary science of epigenetics reveals that you're not simply a prisoner of your DNA – you're actively participating in how your genes express themselves through every choice you make.Dr. Mark Pettus takes us on a fascinating journey through this emerging field that bridges the gap between fate and free will. Drawing on cutting-edge research and decades of clinical experience, he explains how our modern environment creates a profound mismatch with our ancient genetic template, setting the stage for chronic disease. The 21st century human faces challenges our ancestors never encountered – from ultra-processed foods to artificial lighting to environmental toxins – all triggering genetic expressions incompatible with optimal health.The most empowering revelation? These expressions can change in real-time based on lifestyle choices. Within hours of consuming whole foods rather than processed ones, gene switches flip from promoting inflammation to reducing it. Regular movement, quality sleep, meaningful relationships, and even our thought patterns all influence our "book of life" at the molecular level. Dr. Pettis shares compelling research showing how maternal stress during pregnancy alters offspring epigenetics for decades, how indigenous populations saw 500% increases in diabetes within a generation after adopting Western lifestyles, and how we can potentially reverse our biological clocks through targeted lifestyle changes.Discover why Blue Zone populations maintain extraordinary health into their 100s and how you can implement their wisdom into your modern life. This isn't just about preventing disease – it's about actively creating health by bringing your lifestyle into alignment with your evolutionary biology. The science is clear: you have far more control over your genetic expression than previously imagined.

Drew Pearlman Interview: Dr. Mark Pettus is a triple-board certified Internist, Nephrologist, and Integrative Medicine physician practicing for over 25 years. He is also the author of two books, The Savvy Patient: The Ultimate Advocate for Quality Health Care and It's All in Your Head: Change Your Mind, Change Your Health. He hosts The Health Edge Podcast along side John Bagnulo.During the pandemic, humanity is dealing with a sustained level of stress. Mark explains that our “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous system is an important survival response when it is short lived; however, this prolonged stress can cause a disruption in our circadian rhythm, causing issues with sleep and mental health. This raises the question: how do we become more resilient to these stressors?Mark tells us that when it comes to the virus, there is a real threat out there, but there is a lot you can do with food and lifestyle strategies to empower your health and the health of your loved ones.For instance, Mark offers some key food interventions like avoiding processed and sugary foods while eating more healthy fats and vegetables. He shares some of the critical nutrients necessary to strengthen the immune system, such as fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, and K as well as water soluble vitamin C.Mark also emphasizes the role of the gut in keeping our immune system defenses strong. For instance, it's estimated that over 2/3 of the immune system is housed in the gut lining. “The gut is probably as much an immunologic organ as it is an organ of digestion.” This ecosystem of trillions of microbes dwelling in our gut – our microbiome – acts in partnership with our immune system.A major problem with the way we are currently living is a result of “circadian disruption.” Most of us don't get enough natural light during the morning and day hours, and we get too much artificial light from our electronic devices at night.Another factor that interferes with our wake / sleep cycle is that we eat all day long and very often, late into the night. This late night feeding confuses the brain and is not a normal evolutionary biological pattern.Mark tells us that when it comes to the virus, there is a real threat out there, but there is a lot you can do with food and lifestyle strategies to empower your health and the health of your loved ones.For instance, Mark offers some key food interventions like avoiding processed and sugary foods while eating more healthy fats and vegetables.
