Everyone knows the placebo effect is a thing. But why is it a thing? Why do sick people start to feel better when they're given fake medicine aka placebo pills? It's been keeping John up at night...so Ryan's going to break it down for him on this week's Pillow Talk. If only the placebo effect could help cure John's crippling insomnia. The bedbugs would lose their favorite podcast but man would John get a lot more sleep at night.

The Placebo Effect

"What was before the big bang?", "are we alone in the universe?", "is his hair starting to thin out a bit?". These are just some of the questions keeping John up at night. But luckily for John, he knows a MD-PhD candidate named Ryan who has all the answers! And even when he doesn't, he sure as heck will act like he does! Join us for shenanigans, occasional scientific trivia, and most importantly, quality pillow talk.
