Dr. Bruce Lipton, a renowned cell biologist, once believed that genes controlled our fate. That was until his own research shattered this long-standing belief. While studying cells, Lipton observed a fascinating phenomenon: cells naturally moved towards positive stimuli, like nutrients, and repelled away from harmful ones, such as toxins. This was an incredible discovery, as up until this point, Cell biologists believed in genetic determinism—the idea that DNA alone controls cell function, traits, and development, with little influence from the environment.
His discovery led him to realise that the environment, not just genetics, dictates cellular behaviour, and that is downright gobsmackingly incredible. His book, The Biology of Belief, expands on this idea, showing how our thoughts and perceptions shape our biology. And here’s the game-changer—if our cells respond to external signals, what about the messages we send them through our subconscious mind?
For years, doctors told us that genetics was destiny—”if you have the gene, your goose is cooked.” (Direct quote from my Mother’s neurologist when asked if there was a possibility her Alzheimer’s was genetic and if I should be genetically tested). But science has flipped that idea on its head. Enter epigenetics, the groundbreaking field proving that your environment, thoughts, and even emotions can influence your genes. And here’s where it gets even better: hypnotherapy can help you harness this power to create real, lasting change.
Epigenetics: Your DNA Is Not the Boss of You
Epigenetics is the science of gene expression—how genes can be switched on or off without changing the DNA itself. Studies in Nature Neuroscience (Meaney & Szyf, 2005) show that stress, trauma, and even daily habits can alter genetic activity, shaping your mental and physical health. Basically, your genes aren’t fixed; they’re taking instructions from your life choices.
Hypnotherapy: Rewiring the Mind, Reprogramming the Body
If your thoughts and emotions can impact your genes, then changing those thoughts could change your biology. That’s exactly what hypnotherapy does. By accessing the subconscious, hypnotherapy helps break negative patterns and reinforce positive ones. Research in Psychoneuroendocrinology (2018) found that hypnosis reduces stress hormones like cortisol, which play a massive role in epigenetic changes.
And it’s not just about stress relief—hypnosis has been shown to promote neuroplasticity (Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2013), meaning your brain can literally rewire itself. Anxiety, limiting beliefs, even fears rooted in childhood—all of these can be rewritten at the subconscious level, influencing not only your mindset but potentially your genetic expression as well.
Take Control of Your Biology
The idea that we’re at the mercy of our genes is outdated. Science now confirms that our minds have a say in how our bodies function. Through hypnotherapy, you can reframe deep-seated beliefs, reduce anxiety, and cultivate a healthier, more empowered life—right down to the cellular level.
