Dawson Church, PhD, joins us in today's episode to talk about how utilising the energy flows in your body can help heal trauma, beat degenerative illnesses and cancer, increase productivity,  up-regulate gene expressions and build character traits. He is a wealth of knowledge who has changed his own life and that of thousands of others popularising EFT techniques and meditation.  He has conducted dozens of clinical trials and his work with The National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (NIIH) has seen over 21.000 veterans improve their PTSD symptoms. If you know a veteran who is suffering, please refer them to the Veterans Stress Project.
