#49 - The Mind-Body Connection: Default Mode Network and Your Biology🧬Epigenetics with Dr. Kien Vuu
About this episode
Dr. Kien Vuu or "Doctor V", illuminates us on how out Default Mode Network (DMN) is impacting our epigenetics, and how breaking from our old programming can free us (and free our DNA) to reach a state of health and harmony, thus bring about longevity.
Doctor V exemplifies resilience, having survived as an infant refugee on a challenging journey to America. Overcoming diabetes and high blood pressure, he now champions optimal health, happiness, and human potential, making him a sought-after speaker and consultant by Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, and association meetings from all industries.
With tenure at UCLA, National Institutes of Health, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Doctor V is triple-board certified in Interventional and Diagnostic Radiology, as well as Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Founder of VuuMD Performance and Longevity, he advises athletes, executives, celebrities, and organizations toward longevity and peak performance. Doctor V is also the #1 best-selling author of "Thrive State," as well as a media expert, keynote speaker, and workshop facilitator at prominent events, including engagements with Whole Foods, Bank of America, and JP Morgan. He has also appeared on platforms like ABC News, TEDx, The Doctors, and Access Hollywood, empowering others to activate the biology of longevity and human potential within themselves.
In this episode, we cover practical steps that can help us loosen the grips of DMN, how to discern if your life decisions are made from ego vs if they align with your soul's needs, the impact of thoughts and emotions on our biology, understanding your life's "purpose," and how plant medicine or psychedelics can aid in expanding consciousness and self-awareness.
