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.

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.
