Why you should listen

Dr Jared has a unique way of translating scientific research into easily digestible lessons that make sense. Don’t be surprised if you learn something new about yourself simply by listening to this fascinating conversation. You’ll also discover how adaptable genes are and walk away with a firm understanding of what actionable changes you can take today to feel and function even better.
Actionable Skills
- Set your goals, and then start to set your context (environment) accordingly.
- If you want to do something differently, start thinking about it often until it becomes a part of your life.
- Spend time with people that live and work in a way that inspires you to feel, function and relate in new ways.
You can quote us on that…
” The more we surround ourselves in a context that forces us to think and act in a certain way, that’s going to feedback and change our genes.”
