Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno.

Okay, as we mark six years of the Commune podcast, we are now republishing some of our most popular interviews with teachers who now have full-length

courses over on the Common Course Platform.

So this interview is from the summer of 2022 with Dr. Bruce Lipton.

Dr. Lipton is a stem cell biologist, a pioneer in the field of epigenetics, and an internationally recognized

leader in bridging science and spirituality. He is also the author of the legendary tome and

New York Times bestseller, The Biology of Belief. In this conversation, Dr. Lipton and I discuss

how our fate is not determined solely by our genes.

We explore how gene expression modifies in response to the environment and how one primary

arbiter of gene expression is belief. Essentially, our genes express based upon how we

consciously perceive the world.

Of course, this could be good news or bad news, depending on your perception.

Dr. Lipton outlines how fear consciousness can literally make your cellular health dysfunctional,

and conversely, how love can optimize cell health.

We dive deeply into the neurobiological cascade that is triggered by the perception of threat

and how immune and cognitive function are degraded by chronic stress.

We also talk about how cell receptors and not DNA determine cell activity and protein synthesis.

That's key takeaway.

And Bruce's primary message, humans have tremendous agency over our own health.

So if you like what you hear in today's interview, Bruce has a full-length video course on Commune, titled appropriately, The Biology of Belief, a four-part workshop to help you actively create the life that you desire, one full of long-lasting health and happiness.

And you can watch this course for free with a 14-day trial of commune membership.
