Darwin Was Wrong. Your Beliefs Control Your Biology | Dr. Bruce Lipton: E70
“We’re not witnessing humanity’s death throes. We’re in the cocoon. The science reveals an optimistic vision of exactly how we can emerge as the butterfly.” - Beyond DarwinLife is hard.

We explore how beliefs may shape physiology, why early childhood programming matters, and how everyone (including runners) can think about performance, resilience, and recovery through a different lens. Bruce also walks through practical ways to change old patterns and explains why energy, environment, and mindset matter more than most people realize.Key topics:Bruce explains his stem cell experiments showing that identical cells changed based on their environment, not their genes.Bruce argues that the subconscious runs most of our lives, with many core beliefs formed before age 7.He says the conscious mind is creative, but the subconscious is where old patterns, habits, and self-sabotage live.The discussion covers why people often feel like victims of circumstance when they are actually repeating old programs.Bruce describes love and fear as two different chemistry states that shape the body in opposite directions.The conversation gets into energy, vibes, and how people and places can either increase or drain vitality.Bruce shares three ways to change a program: self-hypnosis, habituation, and energy psychology.Bruce closes by emphasizing health, joy, and taking care of the body as if it were a precious machine.Connect with Dr. Bruce LiptonBruce's WebsiteBruce on YouTube: @BruceHLiptonPhDBruce on Instagram: @bruceliptonBook: The Biology of Belief - over 500,000 copies soldNew Book: Beyond Darwin - New York Times BestsellerSave Money with RUNEGADE:Check out the RUNEGADE Linktree and Save - friends of the podcast offering great savings and discounts to our RUNEGADE listeners.Connect with Todd and Mark:Email: runegadepodcast@gmail.comTodd on Instagram: @altramarathonmanMark on Instagram: @runclemarkRUNEGADE on FacebookRUNEGADE on XPath Projects | our favourite running gear and apparel.

Josh brings both his background in marriage and family therapy and his long experience as a natural runner and sandal maker to the table. We discuss how obsession can damage relationships, why listening matters more than fixing, and how running can actually become a bridge to connection instead of a wedge. Key topicsJosh says the first step with any obsession is not to fix the other person, but to look inward, practice a “fearless and searching moral inventory,” and consider moderation.He explains that good therapy begins with listening, accurate empathy, and paraphrasing, not with immediate advice.Running, at its best, can be a relationship builder, especially when it creates space for conversation, shared effort, and mutual enjoyment.Josh describes how he and his wife have long used running as a shared activity, but only because both of them genuinely enjoy it and can keep it in balance with family life.Josh's desire to help people move more naturally.The importance of being a “spirit matter hybrid” and how nature, movement, and prayer all matter in a healthy life.The episode closes with a practical message: accept limitations, focus on your own growth, and let healthy leadership and self-awareness improve your relationships.“Lord keep me humble, but be gentle.”More Josh and Shamma Sandals:Get Your Shamma Sandals | The Pacific AvenueShamma on InstagramSave $$$ with RUNEGADE - friends of the podcast offering great savings to our RUNEGADE listeners.Connect with Todd and Mark:Email: runegadepodcast@gmail.comTodd on Instagram: @altramarathonmanMark on Instagram: @runclemarkRUNEGADE on FacebookPath Projects | our favourite running gear and apparel.
