Hallux valgus runs in the family. My grandmother, mother, and older sister all have it.

The intervertebral discs? It’s in the genes. All the men in the family have problems with their lumbar vertebrae.

Bowlegs? It’s in the genes. Knock-knees, of course.

And then there are the flat feet. Everyone in the family waddles because of them.

Scoliosis? Congenital—what else? A swayback, too. And a hunched back, of course.

Osteoarthritis? It runs in the family. It’s in the genes.

Even incontinence and an enlarged prostate are said to be predetermined by family genes.

Sure. In a way, it’s all “in the genes.” Otherwise, it wouldn’t happen at all. Only what’s inherent can actually manifest itself.

Let me get to the point: Not everything that’s encoded in your genes has to actually happen.

It’s up to you to break the so-called “family gene curse.” You’re probably imitating your mother’s gait, which she in turn copied from her mother. And if you look closely, your young daughter is already walking just like you.

And so all four generations of you have come to accept the bunion on the big toe—the hallux valgus—as a habit. It became a habit.

You’re probably copying your father’s gait, who copied his father’s, who in turn walked like his father, and so all men have developed bowlegs from generation to generation. Or the hunched back that led—and continues to lead—to herniated discs. Habit.

This is where evolution comes into play. Even if the information governing the development of postural problems is now stored in your genes through repetition, you can change it. You can shape your own evolution.

Now. Right away. You can become a new role model for future generations.

It’s actually quite simple: First, you have to overwrite the belief in your mind that “there’s nothing you can do about your genes.” And then start reprogramming.

This is precisely where the backbone of CANTIENICA® body in evolution lies.

This isn’t some training method you go through twice a week just for the sake of it, so you can say, “I’m doing everything that’s recommended for longevity…”

CANTIENICA® body in evolution is the reprogramming of your body. For your best body. For the body that lies beyond supposed genetic limitations. You’ll discover your best posture. And this best posture is the foundation for your best movement.

That is what CANTIENICA® body in evolution aims to do. That is what CANTIENICA® body in evolution can do.

You’ll be guided on how to achieve your ideal body based on the blueprint: your height, your range of motion, your joint flexibility, your relaxation, your mobility, your strength, your resilience, and your well-being.

The ultimate bonus: When you’re at your best, you’re also at your most beautiful.

You practice the new posture and movement patterns and incorporate them into your daily life—in small doses and with frequent repetition. So, basically 24/7.

That’s exactly how reprogramming works.

Brain researchers call this neuroplasticity.

Becoming aware of and optimizing your postures in all situations, and refining your movement patterns, is training for your bones, your nerves, your muscles, your actions, and your brain.

Neuroplasticity in action—vibrant and active. “Self-evolution” in action—vibrant and active.

The way your body is—a hunched back, bowlegs, a stiff neck, tense shoulders, a tilted pelvis—is the result of habit, of the way you stand, sit, lie down, and walk.

That habit led you to develop bunions, a hunched back, and bowlegs.

Practice new postures and movement patterns that promote your health; practice them until they become new habits. 24/7.

Sounds easy as pie. It is easy as pie. And yet it’s so hard!

I ask my regular customers what motivates them to stick with it. Here’s the list:

Well-being.
Freedom from pain.
Independence from therapies and medications.
Self-reliance.
Enhancing the body’s appearance.

I also ask: Does it take a lot of discipline to stick with it?

A few lucky people say, “No, it feels so good—I always enjoy working out.”

Most people say: It takes discipline at first. For the first three weeks (or three months), I had to force myself. After that, my body started craving the new posture and the new movements.

That is the goal of CANTIENICA® body in evolution: to guide you and your body through postures and movements that promote your health.

That lubricate your joints instead of wearing them down.
That nourish your bones instead of causing them to deteriorate.
That activate your ligaments, tendons, and fascia instead of drying them out.
That stretch and strengthen your muscles instead of causing them to atrophy.
That boost your energy instead of sapping it.
That bring out the best in your genes.

Love your body as you love yourself.

Embrace your evolution.

I’m 76 now, and I can honestly say: It’s worth it. And how worth it it is! I’m more flexible, stronger, quicker on my feet, and more attractive than I was at 50.

Despite my genes.

What about you?
