What a pleasure and honor to have world-renowned cultural psychoneuroimmunologist Dr. Mario Martinez on the show today. I’ve had both of his ground-breaking books, The Mind Body Code and The Mind Body Self in my library since college when my acute fascination with the mind-body connection really kicked in so I was thrilled to be able to sit down with Dr. Martinez and learn from a true pioneer in the industry and founder of Biocognition, or what he calls, the mindbodyculture.
Dr. Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist who argues that current mechanical models of the life sciences study disease by reducing the body to pathological parts. He proposes that the healing process must include the cultural history that contextualizes the mind-body expression of health, and challenges the cultural beliefs that perpetuate genetic helplessness. Biocognitive theory integrates research in psychoneuroimmunology, neuroscience, and cultural anthropology to conceptualize and address the causes of health, the learning of illness, and the biocultural ingredients of longevity.
