Danica Patrick makes her feelings known over IG story regarding ‘change your cellular memory’ claims

Danica Patrick recently reacted to an Instagram reel that made an interesting claim about the human body's cellular memory. The speaker was Jason Estes, a former marine and a pioneer in bridging spirituality with quantum mechanics.

Estes is the founder of two organizations aiming to spread the word about self-mastery in the world - Masters of the Void Organization (MTVO) and Void Space Technologies (VST). On a reel posted on the latter's Instagram page, he talks about reinventing oneself and says:

"Every 21 days, you change your cellular memory. 21 days. That's why, if you can do any practice program and commit to it for 21 days straight, you're a completely different person."

Danica Patrick, who retired from racing as IndyCar's most successful female driver ever, and advocates health and fitness via trailblazing guests on her 'Pretty Intense' podcast, reposted the reel on her Instagram story. She summarized her astonished reaction in one word and wrote:

"Whaaaaaat?!"

When Danica Patrick advised her fans to reinvent themselves: "There's other sides to you"

Danica Patrick has one of the best resumes among female open-wheel racing drivers. She recorded many firsts in her IndyCar career, including becoming the first woman to lead the Indy 500 and the first woman to win a race (2008 Indy Japan 300). However, she excelled at more than just racing.

In 2009, Patrick turned her passion for wine into a business venture and developed her vineyard in St. Helena to fuel Somnium Wine - her own brand. She expanded another important aspect of her life, health and fitness, by creating a 90-day mind, body and food plan in a book titled 'Pretty Intense', which is also the title of her podcast.

In May 2024, she appeared on award-winning trainer and business owner Doug Bopst's podcast. Right off the bat, she was asked about why people find it hard to reinvent themselves, to which she replied:

"I think it's 'coz they don't really know themselves well enough. They don't have other hobbies. They just don't have enough interests and haven't like explored them, because everyone does, like nobody's one-dimensional. So it's not like you just do the one thing, it's not like you just drive the car, you know. There's other sides to you. You have to have the vision that anything's possible and you have to have the vision that you can turn anything into a job. I really believe that's possible." [0:10]

Despite some controversy-inducing statements during her stint as an F1 analyst, Patrick is an inspiration to many not just in the racing world, but across all fields she has made her mark in.
