In today’s episode Marisa is joined by author, speaker and kindness scientist, Dr David Hamilton. Inspired by the placebo effect, Dr Hamilton left the pharmaceutical industry to write books that help people harness their mind and emotions to improve their health. David is also featured in the award-winning documentary, ‘HEAL’. He has authored 11 books; his newest book ‘Why Woo Woo Works’ looks at the science and effectiveness of alternative practices. 

Marisa and David speak about the healing power of the mind, and the specific techniques that can help turn illness to wellness. David also opens up about his own experience of depression and how he took the first steps to recovery. 

Their conversation covers:

• The placebo and nocebo effect and how a visual representation of illness can be turned into a visual representation of wellness, to generate healing.
• Techniques you can use if you struggle to visualize.
• Why repetition is key to creating changes in your brain, and how to use it to shape positive change in your life.
• The science of kindness and why it’s a healthy workout for your brain.
