Psychological factors like mindsets and expectations have a connection to our physiology. It’s been proven in multiple clinical studies and researchers continue to explore more about the mind-body link. On today's podcast we discuss beliefs, mindsets and the placebo effect. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.
