Research shows us today that our inherited genes play a much smaller role in our lives than once thought. More important now is the environment we are exposed to & our behaviours that we learn.

The new science of genomics, brain plasticity & neurogenesis shows us that new genes are made in our brain & body through protein synthesis. The common denominators that stimulate new gene growth in the mind & body are: novelty; enrichment; wonder; fascination; change; different; meaningful; surprising & movement - It looks very much like the qualities & experiences of a child. As adults we become too left brain dominant & we lose these meaningful qualities.

Now, picture a stressful scenario - no movement, bad or same posture with computers, sitting or driving; no change in routines - same work, same thoughts, conversations & emotions - We become physically, physiologically & psychologically stuck, stressed & ill. Our minds & bodies need to move & change & grow & be stimulated or we will become depressed, ill or die prematurely.

I have seen many times in my practice experience that when patients of mine with some 'chronic conditions' change their routine or take a vacation, especially overseas so their whole environment & routine is different - that their 'condition' or problem completely goes away. After 1-3 weeks of returning home to their same mundane routine & stressors their symptoms start appearing again. This practical example really sums it up & science backs it up!

This is why I find integrating & utilizing chiropractic, acupuncture, hypnotherapy & matrix energetics so effective in stimulating the body & the mind. It's a great boost & kickstart but then you need to take over & create your own life of variety! Now you know why it is said, "Variety is the spice of life!"

Think back on your life. What have your life experiences been like when you have made positive changes in mind & body?
