Are Your Genes Your Destiny? Ask Deepak Chopra!

Genes are units of heredity that code for every protein that occur in our body and are transferred from one generation to another. Are genes deterministic? Is it possible to "turn on" genes that are good for you and turn off the genes that not?* Deepak discusses how good sleep, stress management, good nutrition, exercise, and healthy emotional relationships can have an effect on our genes and how they are expressed.

Hi! I have methylation issues: DNA MTHFR homozygous 677T
I'm severe ADHD. spent my whole life trying to 'fix' myself. I now know it's a hard wiring that is not able to be fixed at this point in time. I've gotten much healthier and, I sincerely believe, that upsurge in health has opened me up to growing so that today at 63 yrs I've moved from hard-core 43 yrs mormon to more 20 yrs hard-core atheism... to last week stumbling on videos that made the most sense of all... matrix. Using psychedelics created enough questions to search (us ADHD peeps can do some insane hyperfocus😉😆) and today I am dumbfounded that this matrix life including reincarnation makes more sense than anything. I immediately accepted it and am awakening.
Meditation is extra tough with ADHD. my mind is like a strobe light that does not want to stfu...ha!
Thank you for your teachings. I'm inhaling it. Looking for a method or even an inexpensive immersion with experts/guides that will help me build some space between mind and conscience.

Deepak is in his 70's... Wow! Hey World, pay attention, this dude knows things!

Thanks for the new channel! Really appreciate the intention, information, and genuinely helpful presentation ( concise and effective under 5 min transmission of an idea). I hope your goals are reached because this world needs a spiritual revolution badly. Technology alone without wisdom has a pretty poor track record...

Wow Im amazed that this important information is not getting millions of views... Could this be a microcosm of the population? Could it be that most people just don't give a crap about important science that can help the entire population live better? And is stupidity genetic? I think stupidity not only gets passed on through generations but it gets amplified if left unchallenged.

Deepak is in control of your destiny by saying we are in control of our destiny...
