- He pivoted to study epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and psychoneuroimmunology to replicate those inner processes scientifically.
Use Science To Make Transformation Teachable
- Teach transformation by combining neuroscience with repeatable experiential practices to shorten the gap between thought and outcome.
- Use brain scans, HRV, and gene testing to calibrate subjective experiences into objective teachable models.
