After studying centenarians all over the world, Mario Martinez has found that cultural and spiritual beliefs are more significant than genetics when it comes to health and longevity. He sits down with Steve Paikin to discuss how his theory can be applied in practice.

Mario Martinez proposes that longevity is learned, and we have the capacity to change how our genes express disease. He reports on his studies of healthy centenarians worldwide which found that how they live, and the cultural beliefs they share, are the chief determinants, with only 20% attributed to genetics. All centenarians have rituals. The meaning of what we do is the most important thing. Culture is what influences the mind. http://www.scienceandnonduality.com Science And NonDuality is a community inspired by timeless wisdom, informed by cutting-edge science, and grounded in personal experience.

Tami Simon speaks with Mario Martinez, a clinical neuropsychologist whose breakthrough research examines how cultural beliefs affect our health and longevity. Mario is the founder of biocognitive science, a new paradigm that examines the dynamic relationship between thoughts, culture, and the body. In this episode, Tami speaks with Mario about the idea that culture creates biology; how we can access the antidote to shame, abandonment, and betrayal through healing fields in the body; and the concept of "the drift"—how we can navigate chaos with uncertainty as our guide.

VIDEO (30 minutes) This webinar uses a concept of terrains to identify the conditions that maintain instability and how to shift to the terrain of opportunity and its makeup. At the end of the presentation I answer questions to further clarify the applications of the method that I am teaching.
