    S26E3: Healing through Neuroplasticity and Epigenetics with Daria Burke

    Hey lady! Have you ever considered where your beliefs come from and, more importantly, why you hold on to them so dearly? If you’re not aware it is not a coincidence that you have certain thoughts programmed into you. In fact, there are studies that certain patterns of belief and trauma can be passed through the generations. Epigenetics, the study of how behaviors and your environment can affect genes, is an area where medical professionals are starting to experience breakthroughs. They’re discovering that coupling this study with the study of neuroplasticity, the phenomenon of the brain reorganizing itself to form new neural pathways and adapting to new experiences, is a powerful path to healing. Enter Daria Burke. Daria is a powerhouse of a woman who’s career has spanned from award-winning business leader to author. She joins Dr. Dom and Terri this week to discuss her new book, part memoir, part methodology Of My Own Making to share her journey through healing from a rough childhood and traumatic car accident to finding her unique voice and sharing it with others. Daria offers perspective on how using the wisdom from epigenetics and the tools that neuroplasticity offer as roadmap to a healing plan that is authentic to you. Tap in for the tools but also let Daria’s story serve as inspiration that life is what you make it! Go ahead and get your beautiful life, sis!
