I have been so excited to do this episode, and it's an honor to bring on Dr. Ryan Linn Brown (her website, YouTube and TikTok and Twitter) to talk all about manifestation and the placebo effects. God knows celebrities like manifesting as much as we do, but science experiments such as the placebo effect have always made me wonder...is this cold hard proof that our thoughts can change our reality? Ryan talks us through this idea, as well as concepts about grief (healing from heartbreak) and stress and how inflammation impacts the body.
