Our Genes, Our Environment, Our Choice for Health
Researchers from Princeton University are showing that it takes on average 90 days of consistent behavior change (making different choices) for more permanent habits to be formed. This has relevance for addictions, diet, exercise, stress reduction, etc.
Researchers from Harvard University are showing that it takes on average 2.5 hours per week for 10-12 weeks of behavior change practicing for more permanent habits to be formed.
Researchers from around the world have revealed in animal studies that it generally takes the equivalent of about one month of new gene/environment interplay for each year (equivalent) of gene/environment interplay which caused a chronic disease in order for physiologic changes to become permanent.
Surveys from physicians around the world reveal that for each year a person has had a chronic disease, it typically takes 1-2 months for those symptoms to resolve when treated.
The bottom line so far is that it takes initial persistence and determination and that changes of a permanent nature take time to develop. Of course relapses to old behavior always impede the healing process.

Dr. William Ryan Shelton, medical director and owner of Diet Doc Weight Loss Program reports….it is now scientifically well established that our genes and environment together create the information of life which we call the experience of reality.
Health and disease are now seen as a continuum on which an individual’s genes and environment interplay to determine who we are, how we feel, how we live, and how we die. For any one human being, either the genes or the specific environment may be incompatible with health or even life. As human beings we do have a third influence which, assuming the genes and environment are not severely incompatible with one another, can drastically alter our reality of health and illness: choice. Unfortunately, most of us do not believe our choices hold that much potential.
Study after study has shown that we not only have the power to change our minds and behavior, we also have the power to change our hormones, our neurotransmitters, the manner in which our brains are connected, our immune systems, our digestive systems, and so on. How we choose to live, that is changing the environment our genes are exposed to, can and does change our body’s chemistry and function. The most commonly asked question I get regarding this issue is: “How long does it take?” Science is just now beginning to answer this question.Researchers from Princeton University are showing that it takes on average 90 days of consistent behavior change (making different choices) for more permanent habits to be formed.
