This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I have on author Dr. Bruce Lipton, who is a former medical school professor and research scientist. Bruce explains his research on how cells process information led to the conclusion that our genes are turned on and off by influences outside the cell. Influences like our perceptions or beliefs. Bruce also tells us about how stress negatively influences our body/cells, reiterating why it is important to live a less stressed life! I also ask Bruce some listener questions at the end.  KEY TAKEAWAYS: What are stem cells?Culture medium is the lab version of bloodWhat are embryonic cells? What is genetic determinism?The 2 protection systems: immune & adrenalStress hormones shut off the immune systemLess than 1% of disease is connected to geneticsNutritional ingredients ARE important!Your emotions & consciousness control blood chemistryHow do emotions change chemistry?The skin of the cell is the nervous system for the cellConscious versus subconscious mindWhat is the Theta state?The nature of child programmingABOUT GUEST: Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief as well as The Honeymoon Effect and Spontaneous Evolution. Dr. Lipton’s research on muscular dystrophy included the study of cloned human stem cells, and mechanisms controlling cell behavior. In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they apply to his understanding of the cell’s information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip—the cell’s equivalent of a brain which gave rise to his purpose now educating about epigenetic, mind-body medicine and healing.
