SECRETS OF THE CENTENARIANS: DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF AGING
Seminar
Dublin, Ireland
People living over hundred years are the fastest growing segment of the population in the US and other countries. Contrary to “established” scientific theories on aging, many of these centenarians are living free of major illnesses and cognitive deterioration. More importantly, in this workshop, Dr. Martinez explains how relying on “good genetics” and obsessive commitments to “healthy” life styles are not the best formula for longevity and wellness. Participants will learn the difference between growing older and aging, and why cultural portals (youth, middle age, retirement and senior citizenship) have greater influence on health and illness than our genetics.
Recent cultural epidemiological research challenges conventional wisdom regarding longevity and is beginning to debunk the following myths:
- Genetics determines longevity
- Vegetarians live longer
- All stress is harmful
- Alzheimer’s is inevitable
- “Tea Totalers” are healthier
- Anger should be avoided
- If you live long enough, you will die of cancer
- Aging brain equals deteriorating mind
- And many other fear-based misconceptions.
Dr. Martinez is a clinical psychologist who lectures worldwide on his theory of Biocognition (how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity). He specializes in psychoneuroimmunology and has published numerous professional articles on biocognition. In his new psychological novel “The Man from Autumn”, he teaches how the mysterious stigmata can help the health sciences understand the Biocognitive Code that wounds and heals the body. Dr. Martinez has investigated cases of alleged stigmata for the Catholic Church, the BBC and National Geographic.
