The Biology of Belief
The WTF Model; Models save or kill
(NOTE: I’ll be speaking at the ROOM1 event this month (see details below). The topic will be the model of epigenetic care as well as a strong focus on the theme of this event which is maximizing your business performance as a doctor)
The current medical system works off of the Darwinian, Newtonian belief that; we’re machines, programmed by genetics for either good or bad physical or emotional health. This leads us to a reductionist philosophy where we essentially nuke conditions or blast symptoms in an effort to get someone “well.”
Models save or kill. In this model doctors treat any constellation of symptoms the same way despite any number of actual causes. Health is function. When I look at the host of treatments people tend to engage in, the question is “WTF?” (WHERE’S THE FUCTION).
Dr. Bruce Lipton, a former medical school professor and research scientist in his book, “The Biology of Belief” points out to us that this genetic determinism and fatalism make up part and parcel of the current medical model and are “Central Dogma” of science and medicine today. According to these theories, if you’re born with defective genes, hello unhappy life -sooner or later you’ll become a victim of depression, obesity, illness and the express lane to an early grave.
As a result of this way of thinking, all research and traditional medicine ever tries to accomplish is to try and come up with the next drug treatment that can manipulate gene defects and revise blood tests. WTF! (Where’s the function).
While there are newer, stronger drugs that can alter function to a greater degree, none will ever make us in fact, healthy. And these strong drugs are apparently hazardous to our health.
Today, science knows that we’re are not just machines fated for peace and health or misery and disease. Dr. Lipton states, ”Genes can’t turn themselves on and off. Something that effects your (internal) environment has to trigger them.”
Epigenetic care is a model of health where we assess personalized needs and improve a person’s environment for optimum gene expression. The goal is unlocking the good genes and locking up the bad ones.
The nervous system is the master command center of function. Starting with the spine, chiropractors are leaders in epigenetic care. Removing interference to function is the only way to truly improve health.
Have fun saving the world!

Room 1 information
Next month I’ll be speaking main-stage at Room1 in Las Vegas (April 19-20th) and you’re welcome to attend.
Several speakers in Chiropractic and Natural health will be sharing as well and you are invited to join us for the experience.
Here’s a preview of what I’ll be sharing: Room1 Podcast Preview with Dr. Ben Lerner
Many of the attendees will be chiropractors who can get up to 14hrs of continuing education in many states, and the event is open to the general public as well.
