How Our Thoughts Change Our DNA: Dr. Kien Vuu

How do our thoughts impact our DNA? How does one control their
thoughts? What is the power of meditation? What about
psychedelics or breathwork? How does connecting with a loving
community change our health? What is the importance of challenge?

Dr. Kien Vuu, concierge performance and longevity physician
specializing in human optimization and regenerative medicine,
media expert, and author, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to
discuss bioenergetics, how our thoughts impact our physical
health, the importance of challenge, and more. 


“Bioenergetics is really the flow of energy between living
organisms and it turns out that every energetic input, whether
it’s sound, whether it’s light, whether it’s emotion, is energy
that gets translated into different forms and actually affects
our biology.” 


“The thoughts that we focus on actually create biochemical
changes that happen in our body.” 


“Our DNA is not fixed. Our DNA is constantly listening to its
external environment and then it’s making changes. Are we in a
healthy environment? If so, let’s turn on the healing genes.
Let’s turn on the stem cells for us to heal. But if it thinks
that we are in a stressful environment, it’s going to turn up
those inflammatory genes.”


“How we live our life is actually medicine. Our biography
actually affects our biology.”


“If I want to become a better version of myself, what’s stopping
me? What’s the thing that keeps stopping me? It’s probably old
ways of thinking, feeling, and acting that finds you
stuck.” 


“If we could start to take challenge as an opportunity, do
whatever it takes to upgrade ourselves, to overcome that
challenge, we’re suddenly a stronger version of ourself; we’re a
more resilient version of ourself.”
