Day 1: Challenging Genetic Fate
Core Concept: Your DNA is a blueprint, not a locked destiny.
1. Breaking the Old Myth: We were once taught "genetic determinism"—the idea that genes turn themselves on and off and control our lives. This makes people feel like victims of their family history.
2. Epigenetics ("Above the Gene"): This new science proves that genes are controlled by signals from outside the cell. Your genes are fluid and dynamic, changing based on your life experiences.
3. The Environment is the Boss: It is the "culture medium" (your blood and surroundings) that selects what your genes do.For example, 90–95% of cancer cases are caused by lifestyle and environment, not "bad" genes.
4. The Brain as the Chemist: Your brain observes your mind’s images and translates them into chemicals (like hormones) that flood your blood. If you perceive love, your brain releases growth hormones; if you perceive fear, it releases stress chemicals that shut down growth.
5. Perception is Power: Because you can change how you perceive your world, you can literally change your body's chemistry. This "self-directed biological transformation" allows you to rewrite the "programmed beliefs" that might be holding your health back.
Does the idea that your thoughts act like a "remote control" for your genes make sense to you?
