Living in a constant state of stress and unworthiness triggered genetic changes that led to disease, while conscious lifestyle choices and emotional healing reversed those conditions.KISMETResearch shows that emotional trauma can be passed down through generations via genetic markers, but positive lifestyle changes can create new neural pathways that override these inherited patterns - as demonstrated in mice studies where fear responses were inherited but could be rewired.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Kien Vuu, an interventional radiologist, shares his transformation from being overweight, diabetic, and on multiple medications to achieving optimal health through lifestyle changes. Despite his medical expertise, Dr. Vuu found himself trapped in a cycle of stress-driven behaviors that stemmed from childhood experiences as a Vietnamese refugee. He explains how our cells constantly respond to our environment, thoughts, and emotions, affecting how our genes express themselves. This process, known as epigenetics, means that while we inherit certain genetic tendencies, we can influence their expression through five key areas: physical health (sleep, nutrition, movement), mental state, emotional well-being, social connections, and sense of purpose. Dr. Vuu describes how addressing underlying emotional patterns and trauma can make healthy choices easier to maintain. The episode explores the fascinating connection between psychological well-being and cellular health, offering hope that conscious lifestyle changes can reverse chronic health conditions.NOTABLE QUOTE"You are your best medicine because how you live your life, how you see life, how you participate in life is one of the most beautiful, most empowering things that we can do."More info:Dr. Kien Vuu contact infowebsite: kienvuumd.com@DoctorVMD on social mediaSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
