“Extensive research demonstrates that our expectations [around our health and wellbeing] can AND DO create changes in our physiology”
“Positive expectation has been shown to accelerate the cure of many physical conditions like asthma, Parkinson’s, heart disease and chronic pain…”
I strongly recommend⭐️⭐️this BBC podcast mini series by medical science journalist David Robson (whose latest book is of the same name - “The Expectation Effect”).
He talks about the placebo and nocebo effect which, traditionally inferred that a person must’ve not had a bona fide illness in the first place (ie it was ‘all in their head’🙄). Now we know it’s much more than that - the illness is real alright but, our positive or negative beliefs around our illness/wellness can actually create physiological changes which can either make us better… or not.
“The mindbody connection is real”🤩 Oh yes, it most certainly is!!
