Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! In this special solo episode, I’m diving into a powerful concept that’s been central to my own healing journey—and one I’ve recently reconnected with during a Joe Dispenza retreat: love as medicine.

We often focus on supplements, tests, and protocols (and those are important!), but what if the most powerful healing tool is actually free and already inside you? This episode explores the neuroscience and biochemistry of love, how it affects your DNA, nervous system, and even your immune response, and how you can use simple daily practices to feel better—physically and emotionally.

In Today’s Episode We Discuss:

• Why love is one of the most powerful healing states for the body and brain
• What Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations taught me about heart and brain coherence
• How feeling love shifts you out of fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest
• The science of how love unwinds your DNA to help your body build proteins and heal
• My favorite tool: the “I Love” list for hacking your way out of a stress spiral
• How oxytocin (the love hormone) impacts your health and why you don’t need a partner to access it
• Why pets, kids, nature, and purpose can be portals to more love in your life
• Real-life stories of how practicing love improved mood, digestion, hormones, and family dynamics
• Tips to teach your kids (and yourself!) how to shift emotional states using love

This episode is your reminder that healing doesn’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes, the answer lies in reconnecting with what you already love—then practicing that emotion like a muscle.

Try This Today:

💗 Close your eyes and bring to mind someone or something you deeply love.
💗 Sit with that feeling for 60 seconds.
💗 Notice how your body responds—this is free medicine at its finest.
