Can your body really heal just because you believe it can? In this episode, we explore how expectation creates real biological changes—sometimes as powerful as medication or surgery.
From sham surgeries that relieve chronic pain to sugar pills that rival morphine, the science of placebo and nocebo shows us that healing isn’t only about what we take, but also what we believe. Yet, most of us have no idea how to access this built-in mind-body medicine.
By listening, you’ll discover:

• The surprising truth about how and why drug trials minimize the placebo effect.

• The everyday practices that flip your nervous system into “healing mode.”

• How positive expectation can boost immunity, calm inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
