Biography
Mario Martinez is a US clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity. He proposes, based on credible research evidence, that longevity is learned and the causes of health are inherited. He has studied healthy centenarians (100 years or older) worldwide and found that only 20% to 25% can be attributed to genetics the rest is related to how they live and the cultural beliefs they share. Dr. Martinez is the author of the bestselling books The MindBody Code: How to Change the Beliefs that Limit Your Health, Longevity, and Success and The MindBody Self: How Longevity is Culturally Learned and the Causes of Health Are Inherited, that teach his theory and practice of bio cognitive science to professionals and the general public. In addition to longevity, he also proposes how our immune system is not just a protector. Instead, it responds to the cultural premises we learn to perceive the world.
