An interesting new book from Germany has just been translated into English and a review of it in the Times Literary Supplement (August 21, 2026) concludes with a most consequential sentence. The book is entitled Soul Magic: A Century of Psychotherapy, and the author is Steve Ayan. The consequential sentence at the end of the review, which was written by Jack Goulder, is this: "Ayan finishes with some reflections on the notion that the various different forms of psychotherapy all seem to work as well as each other, and that most of this is due to the placebo effect of there being a kindly listener in the room". Now there are at least two big ideas here, with strong practical effects: The first is that in practice almost all forms of psychotherapy work the same. (But hey, what about John and Yoko, and Carl Jung, and Brian Wilson, and ... PZ... and you? The author levels the playing field!) Moreover, he credits "kindly listening" to their shared (albeit flattened) success. That is a huge conclusion, with enormous possible consequences. But second, Ayan believes that "kindly listening" is a placebo. That is to say, kindly listening is sort of a cover for nourishing peace of mind, but it is not a cure! So "psychotherapy", its 'success' rooted in simply the possibility of a troubled soul's being listened to, is not really about healing. It is sort of a cover, for a secondary effect rather than a primary one. This podcast considers Ayan's rather stunning conclusion -- both its relativizing impact, and its diminishing of what actually goes on within a sufferer by means of "kindly listening". PZ disagrees with the latter point. Based on a near lifetime of practical experience, he disagrees with the latter point. He'll wish to quote a classic song here: Roxy Music's "More Than This" (1982). You'll see. (Oh, and didn't The Clash do a song once entitled "Kindly Listener" -- or was it Dave Mason? Or Talk Talk maybe?) LUV U.

Willkommen zurück bei Der Care Podcast – Körper und Geist verstehen! Ich bin so voller Vorfreude, euch endlich im neuen Relaunch-Format begrüßen zu dürfen. Der Start war eine emotionale Achterbahnfahrt für mich – inklusive fieser Selbstsabotage und einem verrückten Hormoncocktail. Warum ich mir beim Laufen im Wald plötzlich selbst im Weg stand und wie wir lernen können, die verschiedenen „Seelen" in unserer Brust zu akzeptieren, erzähle ich euch gleich zu Beginn. In dieser Folge tauchen wir tief in eines der faszinierendsten Themen der Medizin und Psychologie ein: Die Macht unserer Erwartung. Jeder kennt den Placebo-Effekt, aber was ist mit seiner dunklen Schwester, dem Nocebo-Effekt? Warum horchen wir plötzlich ängstlich in uns hinein, nur weil ein Arzt einen beiläufigen Satz gesagt hat (so wie bei meinem letzten Zahnarzt-Besuch!)? Und warum schlägt unser Gehirn sofort Alarm, wenn wir einen Beipackzettel lesen? Dazu hole ich mir in dieser Folge starke Expertise an die Seite: Ich spreche über die genialen Ansätze der Kollegen vom Podcast Denkfabrik Medizin und teile einen exklusiven (und sehr ehrlichen!) Chat-Austausch mit meinem Kardiologen Dr. Jürgen Nowy. Wir klären die Frage, ob wir Patienten im Gesundheitssystem durch „Defensive Medizin" und juristische Absicherung oft eher krank machen als heilen – und wie wir als Apotheker, Ärzte und im sozialen Miteinander dem Nocebo-Effekt den Stecker ziehen können. Unsere treue Zenmeisterin Lilly ist natürlich auch wieder dabei und zeigt uns, wie Hunde mit dem Placebo-Effekt umgehen.

What if the device you bought to improve your health is actually teaching you to trust your body less? In this solo episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin explores the hidden downside of our obsession with tracking everything: sleep scores, readiness, recovery, steps, heart rate, strain, and countless other metrics. He makes one thing clear from the beginning: he isn't anti-technology or anti-data. Used correctly, health data can be incredibly valuable. The problem begins when the number on the screen becomes more authoritative than the signals coming from your own body. Darin breaks down five traps hiding inside health tracking, including research suggesting that simply being told you slept poorly can affect how tired and alert you feel, the growing phenomenon of obsessing over perfect sleep data, inaccuracies in wearable sleep-stage measurements, anxiety triggered by health alerts, and arbitrary targets that can turn useful information into another source of stress. But this episode isn't about throwing away your smartwatch. It's about changing the relationship you have with it. Darin introduces the body's built-in sensing system, interoception, and lays out a practical seven-step plan to rebuild trust in your own internal signals while still allowing technology to serve you when it answers a meaningful question. The goal isn't to become data-free. It's to become sovereign enough that data informs you without defining you. What You'll Learn How a health score can potentially influence how you actually feel Why more health data doesn't automatically create better health How wearables can weaken trust in your body's internal signals What "orthosomnia" reveals about becoming obsessed with perfect sleep Why sleep-stage measurements from wearables aren't always exact How health alerts can sometimes create additional anxiety The surprising origin of the 10,000-step target What interoception is and why Darin calls it your "original wearable" Seven practical ways to rebuild your ability to listen to your body How to use health technology without allowing a number to control your day Chapters 00:00:02 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:32 – Sponsor: MycoDog 00:01:58 – Are we measuring more and feeling worse? 00:02:23 – Can a number on your wrist actually make you tired? 00:02:48 – The experiment where fake sleep feedback changed performance 00:03:15 – Why Darin doesn't wear a smartwatch or health ring 00:03:45 – More health data doesn't automatically mean better health 00:04:05 – Are we becoming data rich and health poor? 00:04:21 – The five traps hiding inside your health data 00:04:37 – Fatal Convenience: outsourcing your body to a number 00:05:01 – Why Darin isn't anti-technology 00:05:26 – When convenience comes at the cost of something deeper 00:05:51 – Are wearables costing us trust in our own bodies? 00:06:15 – How humans recognized stress and recovery before health trackers 00:06:40 – Letting a readiness score decide how your day feels 00:07:10 – Goodhart's Law and what happens when a measure becomes the target 00:07:37 – Darin's larger vision for health and vitality 00:08:12 – Stop chasing scores and start chasing vitality 00:08:35 – Trap #1: When the number becomes the feeling 00:08:58 – The 2014 experiment using fake REM sleep scores 00:09:28 – What happened when people with insomnia received fake sleep feedback 00:09:52 – When the watch doesn't measure how you feel but influences it 00:10:01 – Sponsor: Bite 00:12:15 – Darin's idea for an app that tells you you're going to have an incredible day 00:12:35 – Trap #2: Losing sleep over your sleep score 00:13:09 – Trap #3: Your wearable's number might not be right 00:13:36 – Deep sleep, REM, and the limitations of wearable tracking 00:14:03 – Why you may be worrying about a number that wasn't exact 00:14:39 – Trap #4: When a health alert creates the alarm 00:15:10 – Trap #5: Chasing a target somebody else invented 00:15:37 – The surprising story behind 10,000 steps 00:16:12 – Your body already has an incredibly advanced sensor 00:16:46 – Interoception: your original wearable 00:17:12 – How outsourcing your internal awareness can weaken the signal 00:17:28 – Mindfulness and rebuilding trust in your body's signals 00:17:48 – Your inner sensor isn't broken, it's out of practice 00:18:13 – The 30-day body reboot: seven ways to take back control 00:18:40 – #1: Play "Beat the Ring" 00:19:06 – #2: Stop checking your readiness score every morning 00:19:38 – Why trends are information and one bad night is gossip 00:19:56 – #3: Check in with your body three times a day 00:20:05 – #4: Learn to feel your heartbeat without a device 00:20:29 – #5: Take one completely tracker-free day every week 00:21:02 – #6: Replace arbitrary targets with how your body actually feels 00:21:26 – #7: Make the device serve you 00:21:55 – If the number doesn't change what you do, it's just noise 00:22:18 – Stop waiting for an app to give you permission to trust yourself 00:22:44 – Tomorrow morning, ask yourself one question before checking anything 00:23:05 – Never let a number tell you who you are 00:23:28 – Listening to your body can teach you to hear your heart, dreams, and vision 00:23:47 – Take your sovereignty back   Thank You to Our Sponsors: Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Every heartbeat, every breath, every gut feeling, every sensation, every instinct is information. Technology can be useful, but the moment you allow a number on a screen to become more authoritative than your own experience, you begin outsourcing something incredibly powerful. Don't throw away the data. Put it back in its proper place. Before you check the score, check yourself. Before an app tells you how you slept, ask how you feel. Before a device tells you whether you're ready for your life, remember that you get to choose how you show up. Your inner sensor isn't broken. It's waiting for you to start listening again."

Our sense of security is based on illusion — confirmed by both modern science and the sages of the Bhakti Yoga tradition. A landmark psychiatric study reveals something startling about what actually determines whether we panic or stay calm. The Vedic sages were ahead of the curve, and put it plainly: we are living in two illusions — false terror and false security. The material energy is infinitely more powerful than us. True security comes only when we wake up from the dream and step into the spiritual truth, connecting with the power that is actually stable. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore what that looks like in practice. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.42.15-31 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Placebo by Nikita Zabelin

How much of the time you spend in pain comes from the injury itself, and how much comes from the fear around it?Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, strength and conditioning specialist, educator, and founder of Rehab Science. He has spent more than two decades helping people understand pain, movement, and injury recovery, and he is the author of Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal from Injury.Tom's starting point is that pain and injury are not the same thing. Pain is an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience tied to actual or potential tissue damage, which means what you believe about your body can change what you feel in it.Tom and Mike get into the nocebo effect, how a clinician's words or reaction to a scan can amplify pain, why the field traded the word chronic for persistent, and how to manage exercise loads as your body adapts.Mike tells the story of an MRI he had around the age of 23. The doctor looked at the film, his eyes got big, and he asked if Mike was okay. Mike says his pain felt worse instantly.Tom says many musculoskeletal conditions improve with time and movement. He encourages people to take an active role in recovery: try an appropriate movement, notice how your body responds, and adjust from there.Enjoy the conversation.___________________________________________________________________Links & Resources:Dr. Tom Walters' Website: rehabscience.comDr. Tom Walters' Books: Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal from Injury, plus the 2026 Rehab Science body-region series: Knee, Back and Spine, Hip, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist & Hand, Ankle and Foot, and Head & NeckDr. Tom Walters' YouTube Channel: Rehab ScienceThe Rehab Science App: Rehab Science on the App StoreSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys return from surviving the Southern California heat exhaustion to break down a bizarre lineup of culture, greed, and bad judgment. They kick things off debating tennis star sideline beer chugs and the alleged "Ballmer Peak" of productivity, before unpacking the tragic death of OC Cars and Coffee founder James Wehr.Things get fiery as they react to an unhinged pulpit rant claiming abused wives are "evil" for calling the cops, dissect the massive $17M child sponsorship lawsuit embroiling MercyMe and the Newsboys, and dive into Macklemore getting booted from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour over Palestinian solidarity. To cap it all off, the crew tackles high-society sellouts, Magic Mind routines, and recent YouTube comments.00:01 - Angels Stadium, Heatwaves, & Catching Up02:05 - Tennis Beer Sips & The Myth of the Ballmer Peak09:18 - The San Clemente McLaren Crash & Questioning Sympathy19:10 - Teaching Teenage Kids How Not to Die in Cars25:39 - Unhinged Pastor: Calling the Cops on Husbands is "Evil"36:21 - Tim Dillon's Masterclass in Unhinged Ad Reads41:48 - MercyMe & Newsboys Sued Over $17M Child Sponsorship Deal54:26 - Debunking Christian Divorce Rates & Red Flags01:02:59 - Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, & The Cost of Free Speech on Tour01:21:45 - Rage Against the Machine & Selling Out to the Machine01:37:34 - Placebos, Magic Mind, & Reading YouTube Comments SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsXInstaWe Should Know Better is: Zack Krater & Andy McCraw Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

Warum es beim Pferd manchmal schwer ist, Schmerzen überhaupt zu erkennen – und warum Menschen anschließend Dinge sehen können, die gar nicht passiert sind. Sebastian Bartoschek spricht zum zweiten Mal mit Eva-Maria Flick von EQUIconfide über Pferde. Diesmal geht es weniger um die Geschichte des Pferdes und mehr um die Psychologie rund um Krankheit, Behandlung und vermeintliche Heilung. Wie merkt ein Pferdehalter überhaupt, dass seinem Tier etwas fehlt? Warum können Pferde nicht erbrechen? Was hat die Haltung mit Magenproblemen und Koliken zu tun? Und was passiert, wenn zum kranken Pferd nicht nur Tiermedizin, sondern menschliche Erwartungen, Ängste und Hoffnungen hinzukommen? Damit landen Eva und Sebastian beim Placebo-Effekt und vor allem beim Placebo-by-Proxy: Das Pferd erwartet vielleicht gar keine Heilung – aber sein Mensch tut es. Verhalten wird plötzlich anders interpretiert, spontane Besserungen werden einer Behandlung zugeschrieben und durch klassische Konditionierung kann sich sogar beim Tier tatsächlich Verhalten verändern. Von dort geht es weiter zu Homöopathie, Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln, vermeintlichen Therapiedecken, Tierkommunikation und der Frage, warum pseudomedizinische Angebote gerade dann attraktiv werden können, wenn ein Tier ernsthaft krank ist. Es geht um Kontrollverlust, Selbstwirksamkeit, selektive Wahrnehmung, den Wunsch nach besonderem Wissen – aber auch um etwas sehr Menschliches: die Angst um ein Tier, an dem das eigene Herz hängt. Und schließlich um die Frage, ob Pseudomedizin manchmal auch deshalb so erfolgreich ist, weil ihre Anbieter etwas bieten, für das in Medizin und Tiermedizin häufig zu wenig Zeit bleibt: zuhören.

Dr. Gary Schummer spent 35 years treating ADHD with neurofeedback — so when a major study concluded neurofeedback was "no better than placebo," he sat down and took it apart. This week he joins host Pete Jansons and Joshua Moore (MA, LMHC, BCN) to explain why he believes the study's "placebo" group wasn't a placebo at all, but a second active treatment — which changes what that headline result actually means.From there the conversation goes deeper than one paper: Barry Sterman's NASA cat studies and why animals can't fake a placebo effect, Gary's account of helping hundreds of children reduce or discontinue medication, the epilepsy data that still gets ignored, and the panel's debate over insurance, reimbursement and treatment incentives. Then it turns inward — Gary admits neurofeedback has no agreed standards of care and no shared training curriculum, and Pete makes a pledge on camera to help fix it. "We start today."

Does the spell work because we are witches… or does the spell work because our minds believe it will?Last week, Connor and I explored the science behind the placebo effect ... what happens in our brains and bodies when we believe something is going to work. But today… we are bringing that conversation into the witchy world. What happens when we light the candle, stir the potion, speak the intention, pull the card or cast the spell? Is the magic happening around us? Is it happening within us? Or could it somehow be… both?In Part 2 of our Placebo Effect series, we are exploring ritual, intention, expectation and belief and asking what the science of the placebo effect might actually teach us about the way we practice witchcraft. Because understanding why something works doesn't necessarily make it any less magical.We've got this! CharleneWitchyWorkWishes.com Hearth & Hen Patreon

Have you ever been completely stuck trying to solve a problem or come up with a new idea? There is a remarkably simple thing you can do that research shows can get your creative juices flowing. And it works surprisingly well. https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2014/04/walking-vs-sitting-042414 Can you actually think yourself sick? Absolutely. It's called the nocebo effect — essentially the evil twin of the placebo effect. If a doctor warns you that a medication might cause certain side effects, simply hearing that can make those symptoms more likely to occur. The same thing can happen when you read about an illness or medication online. Your expectations can trigger very real physical symptoms. So how does that happen — and how do you protect yourself from it? Helen Pilcher is a science writer with a PhD in neuroscience from London's Institute of Psychiatry, and she has some remarkable examples of the nocebo effect in action. She is author of This Book May Cause Side Effects: The Curious and Dangerous Power of the Nocebo Effect, Placebo's Evil Twin (https://amzn.to/4qvrdLU). Why are sideburns called sideburns? How could the first automatic door possibly have been invented before the birth of Christ? And where in the world did the word dude come from? Those are just a few of the strange facts and curious word origins explored by Jess Zafarris. She joins me to reveal some fascinating bits of history and language that will leave you with plenty of things you never knew you wanted to know. Jess is co-author of A Miscellany of Weird and Wonderful Facts for Curious Humans Who Have Nothing Better to Do Than Read (https://amzn.to/4wFtLZq). When you say something embarrassing, have a bad hair day or just feel awkward in a group, it can seem as if everyone notices. But how closely are other people really paying attention to you? Psychologists have studied this, and what they discovered should make your next embarrassing moment a little easier to handle. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/199612/why-bad-hair-days-may-not-matter PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS MONARCH: Write your own money story with Monarch!

It is not about whether God exists. Tanya Luhrmann, professor of anthropology at Stanford, joins to explain how people come to experience God as real, and why she thinks there are an awful lot of atheists sitting in church pews. We discuss Augustine hearing God speak, why the "spiritual but not religious" category has grown to nearly a third of Americans, why a more lovable, therapeutic God is paradoxically harder to believe in than a demanding one, and how practices like prayer and the Ignatian spiritual exercises make an invisible God feel present. The conversation also covers why religious studies classes (not biology classes) most often unsettle a young believer's faith, and the "liminal" psychological space — the same one that makes a childhood teddy bear feel alive — where Luhrmann argues God actually lives.

We've all heard of the placebo effect, the remarkable ability of positive expectations to make us feel better. But what about its darker twin? In her new book, ‘This Book May Cause Side Effects, The Curious and Dangerous Power of the Nocebo Effect, Placebo's Evil Twin.' Dr. Helen Pilcher explores how negative expectations can produce very real symptoms, intensify pain, and even contribute to illness.Pilcher is a science writer and former scientist with advanced training in neuroscience and a former reporter for ‘Nature.' Her new book takes us from chronic pain and medication side effects to mass psychogenic illness, asking a provocative question, can what we believe about our health actually change our health?

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Kombucha. Is this fizzy, tangy drink really the gut health hero everyone on social media claims it to be, or is it just another trendy beverage riding the wellness wave straight into your grocery store fridge? Jenn digs into what kombucha is, how it is made, and what the research says about its impact on digestion, immunity, skin, blood sugar, and even your liver. There is a lot to like here, and yet there are also a few catches that most labels will not tell you, from hidden sugar to a serving size most people are drinking way past.

The placebo effect can provide real physical and psychological benefits, even when the intervention itself is inactive or inert. In this “Better Than Fine,” listeners will learn exactly what the placebo effect is, why it occurs, and how belief influences outcomes in health and wellness. The discussion is led by host Darlene Marshall, who explores the science behind the placebo effect, the ethics of its use, and how fitness and wellness professionals can navigate client questions about trendy supplements and practices. The episode further breaks down how the placebo effect changes the body, including shifts in hormones and neurotransmitters that can improve pain and emotional resilience. It addresses when using placebo-driven interventions is appropriate and when it becomes ethically concerning, especially when clients face possible harm or are misled about unproven treatments. Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of the placebo phenomenon, how to support clients without exploiting belief, and concrete examples of both helpful and potentially harmful uses of placebo in practice.

Most of us hear placebo and assume we're being fooled. Tami thought so too. Then Shamini Jain — clinical psychologist, biofield scientist, and author of Healing Ourselves — told her the placebo effect is actually our own healing response at work. You don't have to be tricked to get better. Mallory and Chris have spent the past year and a half working on a podcast about energy healing (Phenomena) and Sounds True is offering—right now—an immersion course on energy healing featuring Shamini Jain as well as Robert Peng and Laurie Nealon…so now felt like the perfect time to bring this conversation back.

In this solo episode, I explore something I see again and again on the fertility path. The moment a label gets attached to your body, something shifts. A word from a doctor, a number on a lab report, a diagnosis. Suddenly you are not just living in your body, you are living inside the story you were handed about it. We look at two powerful words. Placebo, where belief in a treatment creates real, measurable improvement, and its lesser known shadow, nocebo, where a negative expectation produces real, measurable harm. Drawing on a body of research, including a large meta-analysis of more than eight thousand people and the well-known work on how labeling shapes outcomes, I unpack how the words we hear, and the words we tell ourselves, land in the body in ways we can measure. Then I bring this home to fertility. The labels so many women carry, from diminished ovarian reserve to advanced maternal age to hostile uterus, carry a second emotional and physiological payload that almost no one warns you about. I share the Chinese medicine view of the Bao Mai, the channel connecting the heart to the uterus, and how what lands in the heart reaches the womb. This is the same truth that modern nocebo research is only now naming. This is not about positive thinking on command, and it is never about blame. It is about gently taking back authorship of the story your body lives inside. I close with grounded ways to separate the data from the story, soften the language you carry, and protect your inner environment in this tender season. Key Takeaways: The placebo effect is well known, but its shadow, the nocebo effect, is just as real. A negative expectation alone can produce genuine physical symptoms, not imagined ones. A 2023 meta-analysis of 130 studies and more than 8,000 people found a reliable, medium sized nocebo effect across many health outcomes. The expectation of harm was enough to create the experience of harm. Labels carry power. Research shows that simply being told a medication was a cheaper generic, with nothing else changed, led more people to report side effects and feel it worked less well. The body responds to the label, not only the substance. Belief can heal as well as harm. In the Crum and Langer hotel maids study, women who were simply told their daily work counted as exercise showed real drops in weight, blood pressure, and body fat, with no change in behavior. On the fertility path, clinical labels carry a hidden emotional and physiological payload. The reproductive system is highly sensitive to the nervous system, and a frightening label can quietly feed a fear and stress loop. Chinese medicine has described this for thousands of years through the Bao Mai, the heart to uterus channel. When the heart is calm, the message reaches the womb. When the heart is in distress, the womb feels it. What lands in the heart reaches the body. This is never about blame or forcing positivity. It is about reclaiming authorship. Separate the data from the story, question the language you have absorbed, protect your inner environment, and cultivate genuine calm.

What if your genes aren't your destiny? Cell biologist Bruce Lipton PhD — the former medical school professor whose cloned stem cell research helped pioneer epigenetics, and author of The Biology of Belief (published in over 50 languages) — joins Robert Lufkin MD to make the case that perception, not DNA, controls your biology. A positive belief can heal (the placebo effect); a negative belief can harm (the nocebo effect) — which is why Bruce calls a prognosis a prescription. And now, after a cancer diagnosis at 80, he is living his science in the most personal way imaginable. His new book, Beyond Darwin: How Epigenetics, Quantum Science, and Cooperation Shape Humanity's Future, releases today — the same day as this episode. Chapters: 00:00 — Introduction 02:36 — The Stem Cell Experiment That Broke the Dogma 05:55 — Epigenetics: Control Above the Gene 09:12 — The Brain Is the Chemist: Beliefs Become Biology 12:04 — Cancer Is Not Genetic: The Adoptee Data 20:43 — Placebo and Its Dark Twin, the Nocebo 23:34 — Prognosis as Prescription: Delivering a Diagnosis 30:36 — Stem Cells: Your Built-In Repair System 32:46 — Bruce's Cancer at 80 and the Younger Doctors 40:16 — Programmed in the First Seven Years 44:05 — Conscious vs Subconscious: The 95% Problem 48:34 — The Matrix, the Red Pill, and Falling in Love 50:55 — Why Marriages Fall Apart: Living From the Program 55:54 — A New Generation of Medicine 57:53 — Civilization's Programming and Conscious Evolution Key takeaways: Genetically identical stem cells became muscle, bone, or fat depending only on their environment — the culture medium, not the genes, determined their fate. Fewer than 1% of diseases are caused by genes alone; adoption studies show adoptees acquire the disease patterns of their adoptive families, not their biological ones. The brain is the chemist: perception shapes blood chemistry, which controls gene expression. Placebo beliefs can heal — and nocebo beliefs can harm. A substantial share of treatment outcomes reflects belief effects. Your body replaces roughly 3.5 million cells every second, powered by stem cells — your built-in repair system. About 95% of daily behavior runs on subconscious programs downloaded in the first seven years of life. Change the program — through mindfulness, presence, and repetition — and you change your biology.

Charlie Goldsmith, known to many as The Healer from the TLC series, joins Andrea for a conversation that goes far beyond his extraordinary results. While Charlie first became widely known for the remarkable ways he could alleviate pain and other conditions, his deeper mission is now focused on a larger problem: how to identify genuine healing ability, study it responsibly, and make real help easier to find for the people who need it most. As the conversation moves through Charlie's unexpected discovery of his ability, the resistance surrounding energy healing, the challenges of research, and the platform he is now building, the episode opens into something much larger than one healer's story. It is about evidence, access, human potential, and what it might take for healing ability to be taken seriously without losing what makes it extraordinary.  Find out how Charlie's free app is designed to identify genuine healing ability, connect people in need with those healers, and generate data that could shape the future of energy healing research. This mission needs people like you now. ✨ Learn more about Charlie Goldsmith: https://charliegoldsmith.com/Recorded: May 25th, 2026Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Limits Of Understanding00:52 -  Meet Charlie Goldsmith02:50 - Energy Awakening At 1806:11 - First Healing Moment09:45 - Mission To Prove It14:29 - Identity And Judgment17:40 - How The TV Show Happened22:06 - Why Media Stayed Closed24:39 - History Of Healing Backlash28:31 - Placebo Nocebo Debate31:58 - Placebo as Medicine33:31 - Challenging the Skeptics36:17 - What He Can Heal40:18 - Limits and Success Rates41:31 - The App Study Protocol47:33 - Why AI Makes It Safe51:24 - How to Use The Ennie App54:06 - Affordable Access Mission58:15 - Join the Collective Effort01:01:39 - Final Thanks and Follow Us!Channel Your Divine Self, a twelve-week live course where you build a direct, grounded relationship with your own inner guidance, alongside the Emissaries of Light.

For decades, women have been told that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer, but where did that message come from, and is it the full story? In this episode, Mary Alice Haney is joined by former SheMD executive producer and award-winning storyteller, Ami Armstrong, to unpack the Women's Health Initiative, the landmark study that changed the course of menopause care for an entire generation. Together, they explore how one of the largest women's health studies ever conducted became one of the most misunderstood, and why many experts are working to correct the narrative today.Mary Alice and Ami break down the difference between relative and absolute risk, discuss how media headlines fueled decades of fear around hormone therapy, and explain what today's research says about menopause treatment. They also examine why women have historically been left out of medical research, the importance of personalized healthcare, and how understanding your own risks can empower you to make informed decisions alongside your doctor.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

What You'll LearnWhy the Women's Health Initiative became one of the most influential and controversial studies in women's health.The difference between relative risk and absolute risk, and why that distinction matters.How media coverage dramatically changed public perception of hormone replacement therapy.Why today's menopause hormone therapy differs from what was studied in the original trial.How women were historically excluded from clinical research and how that affected medical care.What current evidence says about the timing of hormone therapy and menopause treatment.Why understanding your personal health risks leads to better conversations with your doctor.Key Timestamps00:00 Welcome Ami Armstrong02:57 Ami's own HRT journey & why she made this series05:04 The idea behind "It's Not a Purse" (Magritte inspiration)07:43 "Feminine Forever" and the history of estrogen marketing09:02 Why Ami dug into the Women's Health Initiative11:48 Getting women into clinical trials: the 1990s shift18:43 Placebo, estrogen-only & estrogen+progestin arms20:15 What hormones were actually used in the WHI22:04 The timing hypothesis explained23:14 Inside the July 2002 press conference decision24:53 Breaking down the breast cancer numbers (absolute vs. relative risk)27:06 Why the trial was stopped early & the estrogen-only results32:07 HRT use plummets & what hot flashes really mean35:42 The researchers who fought back42:32 Individualized risk & questioning the headlinesKey TakeawaysThe Women's Health Initiative began as an ambitious effort to better understand disease prevention in postmenopausal women but became defined by a controversial 2002 announcement that dramatically changed hormone therapy use.Headlines focused on relative risk increases without explaining the much smaller absolute risk, creating lasting public fear around HRT.The hormone formulations used in the original study are different from many of today's commonly prescribed bioidentical therapies.Experts now recognize that the timing of hormone therapy initiation plays an important role in determining benefits and risks.Women have historically been underrepresented in clinical research, leading to gaps in medical knowledge that continue to impact healthcare today.Every woman's health decisions should be individualized, based on current evidence, personal risk factors, and informed conversations with qualified healthcare providers, not fear-driven headlines.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Note from James:I'm doing a big experiment in my life.I recently started taking a GLP-1—tirzepatide, one of the so-called weight-loss drugs. But I didn't start taking it specifically for weight loss. I had some blood work done for the first time in a long time, and there was a small indication that I might be pre-diabetic. My doctor suggested trying tirzepatide, and I wanted to understand what I was getting into.The first person I wanted to talk to was Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators. Charles has been taking a GLP-1 for about two years, and he says it has changed his life. He has lost around 45 pounds, but what interested me most was not just the weight loss. It was the habit change.Charles explains that GLP-1s can quiet what people now call “food noise”—the constant background pull toward eating even when you are not actually hungry. When that noise quiets down, something interesting happens: you get a window where your old habits become more malleable.That is the key idea of this conversation. The drug may help you eat less, but the bigger opportunity is that it gives you a chance to build new routines around food, exercise, alcohol, sleep, and identity. And if you build those habits while the window is open, those habits may continue even after you stop taking the medication.We talk about food noise, cravings, the habit loop, keystone habits, stated versus revealed preferences, placebo effects, alcohol, sleep, exercise, blood sugar, identity, and whether GLP-1s are a lifelong drug or a tool for changing who you become.Episode Description:James is at the beginning of a GLP-1 experiment. Charles Duhigg is two years in.In this conversation, Charles explains what he has learned from taking tirzepatide and from studying GLP-1s through the lens of habit formation. He describes the first phase of public understanding around these medications as weight loss. Phase two, he argues, is about behavior change.The central concept is “food noise.” Charles describes it as the background craving that turns a basket of fries into an almost automatic behavior. You may not even notice the noise until it goes away. Once it quiets, the cue that normally triggers the habit loop weakens. That creates a temporary window where new habits can be built.James and Charles use the GLP-1 experience to revisit the basic habit loop: cue, routine, reward. They talk about why habits feel automatic, why willpower is often the wrong tool, and why successful behavior change depends on identifying the cue and replacing the routine while still satisfying the underlying reward.Charles also introduces the idea of GLP-1s as a catalyst for keystone habits. Eating less can make exercise easier. Drinking less can improve sleep. Better sleep can improve focus. Focus can improve work. One changed habit can set off a chain reaction.The conversation then becomes more philosophical: Who are we if one part of the brain says “I want to be healthy,” while another part of the brain keeps revealing different preferences through action? Charles explains the difference between stated preferences and revealed preferences, and how repeated behavior can shift identity.This is not a conversation about taking GLP-1s casually. It is a conversation about using a medical intervention deliberately, under appropriate medical guidance, as a chance to change the patterns that shape daily life.Editorial Note:This episode discusses prescription medications, including tirzepatide and semaglutide, as well as personal experiences with GLP-1 drugs. It should not be treated as medical advice.GLP-1 medications can have side effects and risks, including gastrointestinal symptoms, dosing concerns, and contraindications for some patients. They should be used only under the supervision of a qualified medical professional. Any decision to start, stop, adjust, or combine medications should be made with a clinician.James and Charles also discuss personal experience, habit change, appetite, alcohol cravings, and identity. Individual responses to these medications vary.What You'll Learn:Why Charles believes GLP-1s are entering “phase two”: not just weight loss, but habit change.What “food noise” feels like—and why people often do not notice it until it disappears.How GLP-1s may create a temporary “habit window” where old routines become easier to change.Why the habit loop—cue, routine, reward—matters when trying to change eating behavior.Why people often regain weight after stopping GLP-1s if they have not built new habits.How keystone habits can create a chain reaction across food, exercise, alcohol, sleep, and focus.Why micro habits may work better than a full lifestyle overhaul.How stated preferences and revealed preferences shape identity.Why eating less can make exercise easier, and why exercise can reinforce healthier choices.Why tracking behavior may be essential while taking a GLP-1.How placebo, alter egos, and rituals may influence identity and performance.Why the goal is not just losing weight, but becoming the kind of person whose habits support health.Timestamped Chapters:[03:36] James Begins His GLP-1 ExperimentJames explains his early experience, including confusion between medication side effects and a bout of COVID.[04:16] Charles's Two-Year ExperienceCharles describes taking tirzepatide, losing roughly 45 pounds, and why the biggest changes came months into the process.[05:38] Phase One vs. Phase Two of GLP-1sPhase one was about appetite and weight loss. Phase two, Charles argues, is about habits that can last.[06:42] The Habit WindowHow GLP-1s can quiet food noise and create a period where eating habits become more malleable.[07:21] COVID, Side Effects, and Early SignalsJames explains why his first few weeks were hard to interpret and why he is still figuring out what the medication is doing.[09:00] What Food Noise Actually Feels LikeCharles uses the example of a basket of fries to explain cravings, cues, and automatic eating.[09:55] The Habit Loop: Cue, Routine, RewardCharles revisits the framework from The Power of Habit and applies it directly to food cravings.[10:42] How GLP-1s Interrupt the CueThe fries are still there, but the craving does not activate in the same way.[11:40] What GLP-1s Do in the Body and BrainCharles explains what researchers know about gastric emptying, glucagon-like peptides, and what remains uncertain about the brain.[12:43] What Happens When You StopWhy the medication alone may not be enough if old habits return after discontinuation.[13:36] Pleasure, Food, Alcohol, and AnhedoniaCharles discusses reduced pleasure from food and alcohol, while separating clinical findings from broader claims about losing joy in life.[15:54] Why Charles Stayed With ItEarly changes were not dramatic weight loss, but a growing feeling that eating became more of a choice.[16:40] Eating as a Keystone HabitHow changing food behavior can trigger changes in exercise, alcohol, sleep, focus, and work.[19:31] Why Structure MattersCharles explains why tracking and guided habit systems can help people see patterns they might miss on their own.[20:32] What Changes Physically Over TimeSlower stomach emptying, feeling full longer, more stable blood sugar, and gradual changes in appetite.[21:43] Stated Preferences vs. Revealed PreferencesWhy one part of the brain says “I want to change,” while another part watches what you actually do.[23:22] Identity Change and Habit FormationHow repeated behavior can teach the brain, “I am the kind of person who eats this way” or “I am the kind of person who exercises.”[24:16] Placebo, Belief, and Becoming the Person You Want to BeJames and Charles explore whether placebo effects may work partly by changing identity.[28:07] Alter Egos, Athletes, and RitualsThe conversation turns to Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, and how pre-performance routines can cue a desired identity.[29:15] Start With Micro HabitsCharles explains why small behavior changes can compound more effectively than trying to overhaul an entire life at once.[30:40] Charles's First Micro HabitsDrinking less, eating fewer fries, stopping when full, and choosing healthier meals without relying on willpower.[31:24] Feeling Full for the First TimeCharles describes the surprising experience of leaving food unfinished because his body had had enough.[33:03] Why the Stomach ShrinksThe medication does not shrink the stomach directly; eating less over time changes how much food the body expects.[33:21] Why Slower Stomach Emptying HelpsJames asks why a weight-loss drug would slow digestion instead of speeding metabolism.[35:00] The Cumulative EffectWhy the most visible changes often appear after several months, once habits, body size, and identity begin reinforcing each other.[37:03] Is a GLP-1 a Lifelong Drug?Charles explains what research and personal experience suggest about stopping, restarting, and maintaining results.[38:56] James's Health MotivationJames explains that his motivation is not primarily weight loss, but a desire to respond to possible pre-diabetic markers.[39:36] Why Attitude Is Not EnoughCharles argues that wanting to be healthy helps, but habit change still requires structure.[40:02] What Changed at HomeCharles explains how his family's food did not need to change, even though his own choices and portions did.[41:02] Weight, Body Composition, and Pre-DiabetesWhy blood sugar, insulin resistance, fat, and muscle matter more than the scale alone.[42:38] Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and What Comes NextJames and Charles compare different GLP-1 medications and discuss how newer drugs may work through multiple receptors.[44:27] Will Charles Stop Taking It?Charles explains why he may eventually discontinue the medication, but values having more choice over weight and behavior.[45:24] Blood Work, Snoring, and Health MarkersCharles describes improvements in lab results, cholesterol, snoring, and overall health.[46:31] Who Are We, Really?James and Charles talk about identity, brain chemistry, sugar, alcohol, cravings, and the substances that shape behavior.[48:32] Choosing the Person You Want to BecomeCharles explains how better self-awareness can help people change habits deliberately rather than being pulled by cravings.[49:00] Tracking the ExperimentCharles advises James to track food, feelings, and behavior so he can notice changes that might otherwise be invisible.Additional Resources:Charles Duhigg Official WebsiteThe Power of Habit by Charles DuhiggSupercommunicators by Charles DuhiggNoom's GLP-1 Companion / Habit Formation AnnouncementFDA: Zepbound Approval for Chronic Weight ManagementFDA: Concerns With Unapproved GLP-1 Drugs Used for Weight LossBMJ: Weight Regain After Stopping Weight-Loss MedicationTodd Herman — The Alter Ego EffectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.
