“The MindBody Code has impacted my own work and life, and I know that it can also profoundly impact yours. You don’t need to stay caged in a life of culturally approved ‘known misery’ that keeps you from experiencing a lifetime of wonder, health, and joy. You have within you the power to reinvent yourself at any age or stage—no matter what your circumstances. The roadmap is right here in these pages.” Christiane Northrup, MD Author of the NY Times bestsellers The Wisdom of Menopause and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom |

He is the founder of Biocognition Science and The Empowerment Code™ He developed an organisational model that views productivity and wellness as inseparable components of sustainable profits. The Empowerment Code™ is the first organisational training program that brings combined principles of Psychoneuroimmunology, neuroscience and cultural anthropology to the workplace. Because of his work in how cultural beliefs affect the immune system, Martinez has investigated alleged cases of stigmata for the Catholic Church, the BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. He lectures worldwide on his theory of Biocognition and teaches The Empowerment Code™ principles to top US corporate executives and to global organisations in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia Pacific.

“Martinez’s book, The MindBody Code gives new meaning to the saying, ‘Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you.’ In fact, he shows us that words can cause illness. By putting his wisdom into action, we can transform the unhealthy, culturally-based language we mindlessly learned into a mindful, bio-symbolic language to bring about health and vitality. If you’re interested in becoming or remaining healthy, read this book.” Ellen Langer, PhD, Harvard psychology professor and author of Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility |
Dr. Mario Martinez offers us new perspectives on how to embrace health and wellness by letting go of old cultural beliefs that limit longevity and negatively affect well-being.
We know that the mind influences the body, but what seems to be ignored in the life sciences is what influences the mind. Wellness (mental, physical and spiritual health) and productivity are viewed as an inseparable unfolding process. Culture is what influences the mind and our cultural beliefs are more powerful than our genetic endowment. Growing older is merely the passing of time, where-as ageing is what we do with our time based on the beliefs we assimilate from our cultures. Rather than being genetically sentenced with family illnesses, we have the capacity to change how our genes express disease as well as the causes of health, based on how our brain learns to culturally perceive the world.
Dr Martinez' theory and practice of mindbody science is based on research that investigates the healthy brains, the exalted emotions (compassion, empathy, love), and the elevated cognitions (honour, admiration, cooperation). As Homo sapiens, our immune system has 150,000 years of accumulated wisdom that has allowed it to evolve from a protector against pathogens to an intelligent interpreter that confirms the mindfulness that we choose to engage.
