TWG 96: The Biology Of Belief with Bruce Lipton

This week The Wellness Guys interview developmental biologist Bruce Lipton. Since episode one Bruce is someone that The Wellness Guys have been looking forward to interviewing and you will probably have heard Bruce’s name mention numerous times throughout the podcast. His book The Biology Of Belief and his talks on the same topic were real game changers in the field of epigenetics and helped to solidify the idea that our lifestyle (not our genes) is more often than not the key determining factor in our health outcomes. Listen as Bruce shares the impact of our genes and in particular our thoughts on our health and learn how to create ‘heaven on earth’.
