The Influence of Thoughts on Gene Regulation

Our body's protein production is regulated by genes, which can be influenced by our thoughts. Genes can turn on or off, up-regulating or down-regulating protein production. Contrary to popular belief, genes do not solely determine our health. Only a small percentage of genetic conditions are present from birth, whereas lifestyle and behaviors play a significant role in the expression of genes. When we think the same thoughts, make the same choices, and experience the same emotions, certain genes are turned on while others are turned off, leading us towards a predicted genetic destiny.
