He outlines a science-based method for change that combines new information, mental rehearsal, emotional regulation, and daily meditation—especially in the first hours after waking. Drawing on research from his week-long retreats, he cites rapid, measurable shifts in brain function, heart coherence, gene expression, and even serious health conditions. The conversation also explores addiction to negative emotions, the societal impact of chronic stress, and the need for a collective shift in consciousness.

Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Researcher and best-selling author.
One of the most sought-after speakers in the world.
All with the aim of helping people better understand and unlock the power of their mind. I'm concerned about human species. Why? 75 to 90% of every person that goes to a healthcare facility goes because of psychological or emotional stress, and it gets addictive to people. They need the bad relationship, the bad job in order to feel, and there's so much research to show that when they analyze their life within some disturbing emotion, we saw that they were actually making their brain worse. But 50% of that story isn't even the truth. People are reliving a miserable life they never even had just to excuse themselves from changing. You can't wait for your wealth to feel success. You can't wait for your new relationship to feel love.
Uh, 95% of who we are by the age of 35 is programmed.
Yeah. But there is a way to change, and so the model of change is breaking the habit of the old self and reinventing a new self. And if you teach people how to do that, in seven days, you can see very significant changes. So try this out as an experiment. First thing you have to do is-
Dr. Joe, you're someone that's constantly doing research and developing new ideas about where humans are and the way the universe is. What are the beliefs in your head that you're too scared to share?
Oh, boy. I, I have a very strong belief that-
Before this episode starts, I have a small favor to ask from you. Two months ago, 74% of people that watched this channel didn't subscribe. We're now down to 69%. My goal is 50%. So if you've ever liked any of the videos we've posted, if you like this channel, can you do me a quick favor and hit the subscribe button? It helps this channel more than you know, and the bigger the channel gets, as you've seen, the bigger the guests get. Thank you and enjoy this episode. (instrumental music) Dr. Joe, 95% of who we are by the age of 35 is programmed. When I read that in your work, it kind of hit me like a ton of bricks, because I just turned 30, and if what you're saying there is true, without realizing it, there's a puppet master that sits above me that's calling the shots in a way that I don't think I've realized. Is that true?
I think ah, if we define a habit as a redundant set of automatic, unconscious thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that's acquired through repetition. A habit is when you've done something so many times that your body now knows how to do it better than your conscious mind. Then it's programmed subconsciously. So then when the body knows how to do it better than the conscious mind, then for the most part, the greatest habit we have to break is the habit of being ourselves, right? So there's a principle in neuroscience that says that nerve cells that fire together wire together.
