Did you know the nocebo effect is the phenomenon where a person experiences adverse effects or worsening symptoms after receiving an inactive substance or treatment simply because they expect it to be harmful? It is essentially the opposite of the placebo effect, where a person experiences improvements in their condition due to believing in the effectiveness of a treatment, even if it is inert. In the case of the nocebo effect, negative expectations can lead to real physiological or psychological effects, often complicating medical treatments and clinical trials. Join me and my guest, Dr. Cosima Locher, Ph.D., to learn more about the book "The Nocebo Effect, When Words Make You Sick," which is the first book to investigate this fascinating phenomenon and offers a wide variety of topics and angles by the foremost researchers in this emerging field.

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the most wonderful fine version of themselves. 

 

Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.
