The Secret Language of Cells Our cells are talking. Right now, both your inner and outer worlds are abuzz with chatter among living cells of every possible kind—from those in your body and brain to those in the environment around you. From electrical alerts to chemical codes, the greatest secret of modern biology, hiding in plain sight, is that all of life's activity boils down to one thing: conversation. Jon explains very simply how our cells are all interconnected, how they communicate and why it's so important for the mind, body and spirit. A wonderful conversation. Enjoy! Connect with Jon here. Guest Bio. Dr. Jon Lieff is a neuropsychiatrist with a BA from Yale University and an MD from Harvard Medical School. Known as an innovator in several branches of psychiatry, he pioneered the development of integrated treatment programs for elderly, medically ill, and brain-injured patients, combining medical, psychiatric, and neurological treatment. He was president of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry and helped found the major journal in that field—the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. He wrote some of the first books on high technology in psychiatry. His recent book, The Secret Language of Cells: What Biological Conversations Tell Us About the Brain-Body Connection, the Future of Medicine, and Life Itself!, explains the surprising science of how very different types of cells — bacteria and brain cells, blood cells, and viruses—all speak the same language, which, it turns out, is the way all of biology works. With applications for immunity, chronic pain, weight loss, food allergies, depression, cancer treatment, and virtually every aspect of health and biology, cellular communication is revolutionizing our understanding not just of disease, but of life itself.
