Epigenetics

During his research, however, he found compelling evidence to the contrary Dr. Lipton conducted experiments where he placed embryonic cells into a culture medium. Every 10 hours, the cells doubled, resulting in 50,000 cells after one week, all with identical genetic makeup.He then divided these cells into three separate petri dishes, each with its own culture medium representing different environmental conditions, analogous to blood in a lab setting. Surprisingly, the cells in each dish developed into different types – skin, muscle, fat – despite their identical geneticsThis proved that the environment has a significant influence on cellular behavior.

Further experiments showed that cells placed in a negative environment would fall ill and then be healed by transferring them back into a positive environment. Dr. Lipton’s groundbreaking conclusion was that it’s the environment, not our genes, that largely determines our health and well-being. We are composed of approximately 50 trillion cells, which live in a cultural medium represented by our blood. The chemistry of our blood changes depending on the information it receives from our thoughts and feelings. Positive thoughts, such as love, stimulate the production of dopamine, oxytocin, and growth factor, creating a conducive environment for health and vitality. Conversely, stress depresses our immune system and digestion, creating a negative environment. In today’s modern, stressful lifestyle, this biological imbalance is unsustainable.

The question arises: how do we change our brain’s output to positively affect our internal environment? While most humans choose positive environments, the reality around us often doesn’t reflect this choice. The issue lies in our conscious and unconscious minds. Our conscious mind, responsible for critical thinking, represents only 5% of our daily thoughts. The remaining 95% originate from the unconscious mind, shaped by programs we absorbed in childhood, all before the age of seven. These unconscious beliefs dictate our internal environment. To alter these limiting beliefs, we must become conscious of the thoughts running through our minds. We must question negative and disempowering beliefs and replace them with thoughts that align with our conscious desires.

For WILDFIT enthusiasts, transitioning between seasons triggers epigenetic changes by creating a powerful and positive environment. Additionally, methods such as the Emotional Freedom technique, or tapping, can effectively transform negative beliefs. Meditation, particularly during sleep or a Theta brain state, also supports positive brain changes. Understanding epigenetics empowers us to take control of our health and well-being by recognizing the profound influence of our environment and mindset. By fostering positivity and consciously reshaping our beliefs, we can cultivate a healthier and more vibrant life.
