and Author of The MindBody Code
Dr. Mario Martinez
Explore the 4 fundamental factors found in the consciousness of centenarians (people 100 years or older) and experience a guided process to embody a new perception about aging that can increase your longevity.
It may surprise you to know that people who live to be 100 (and beyond!) have four factors in common that have nothing to do with their genetic makeup, family history, lifestyle choices, diet, environment, or socioeconomic status.
In fact, according to clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Mario Martinez, your genes have only a 20 percent impact on your health and longevity. The rest is attributed to what you hold in your consciousness — how you view yourself and the experience of aging.
What would it take for you to not only live past 100… but to thrive past 100, with good health, mental acuity, vibrant relationships, and joyful vitality?
As the founder of the Biocognitive Science Institute and author of the bestselling book, The MindBody Code: How to Change the Beliefs That Limit Your Health, Longevity, and Success, one of the first things Mario will tell you is… Don’t tell people your age. But it’s not for the superficial reasons you might think.
Through his 25 years of ethnographic research with healthy centenarians around the world, Mario discovered that the body responds to cultural stimuli and the way your community treats you based on your age and the assumptions about it. And as you know, aging in our North American culture is typically associated with frailty, helplessness, physiological breakdown, and the diminishment of cognitive faculties.
Although we do inherit our genetic predispositions for health, illness, and longevity, Dr. Martinez asserts that disease is triggered by physiological responses to our culture’s beliefs about how we’re supposed to experience both our internal and external worlds.
So, how do we transcend and defy our culturally imposed assumptions and limitations about aging?
In this revelatory hour with Mario, he’ll share how your biological age can actually be reversed and your longevity dramatically extended... not by changing your behavior, but by transforming the way you view yourself and the world.
The 4 Consciousness Factors for Centenarians
In his research and teachings, Mario integrates cultural psychoneuroimmunology (how cultural beliefs affect the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems), cultural anthropology (the cultural construction of beliefs), and cultural neuroscience (how the developing brain learns to interpret culture).
In interviewing hundreds of centenarians, he uncovered — across the board — four powerful factors they all shared that override the genetics or lifestyle habits that might otherwise cause illness. They are:
- Aging consciousness — the belief that aging is the passing of time, and growing older is how we experience the existential beliefs we assimilate from our culture
- Time consciousness — the perceived notion that we have all the time in the world
- Health consciousness — the idea that we have the agency within us to enhance anything in our life, and we don’t need to depend on external forces to do it for us
- Self-love consciousness — a sort of healthy narcissism, in which we’re aware of our own brilliance and value
During this online gathering, Mario will explain the unique elements of these “causes of health,” and then walk you through a multi-layered process to relax and and enter the “Theater of Change,” a powerful meditation and visualization you can do on your own to change your perception of a perceived challenge — and start to remap your brain and body to embody its antidote.
You’ll also explore other “causes of health” that centenarians have in common, including righteous anger, curiosity, gratitude, admiration without envy, and more.
In this empowering free online event, you’ll discover:
- Why culture has more influence on your health and healing than your genes do
- How to embody a different perspective through a visit to the “Theater of Change” — a powerful meditation and visualization you can do on your own to alter your perception about a challenge you’re facing
- How to ignite your personal agency and perceive and act in a way that shapes your fate into destiny
- That your brain and immune system are culturally formed and have a moral compass
- How “causes of health” are inherited, while longevity is a culturally learned consciousness that can biologically prevent physical illness and disease
When Mario visited a longevity center in Warsaw, Poland, biological markers determined his own physiological age to be 20 years younger than his chronological age! He’s dedicated to helping others have a similar experience.
When you attend this illuminating event, you’ll also be among the first to learn about Dr. Martinez's new 7-week online course, in which you’ll learn to make the biocognitive perceptual changes necessary for living a longer, happier, and healthier life.
