About
Mario: Dr. Martinez is a 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. For the past 25
years, 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
does interviews on Zoom or live.
He is the author of the bestselling book The MindBody Code that
teaches his theory and practice of biocognitive science for the
general public as well as professionals in the life sciences. In
addition to longevity, he also lectures on why our immune system is
not just a protector. Instead, it responds to the cultural premises
we learn to perceive the world.
