“Humans have become like tuning forks that vibrate sweetly to the sounds of nature.” Sometimes, when the spirit is soothed with a little extra care, the body returns to balance all by itself. And that’s why today we’re talking about why Woo Woo works with Dr David Hamilton. After completing a PhD in organic chemistry, David worked in R&D in the pharmaceutical industry, developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. Inspired by the placebo effect, and how some people's conditions would improve because they believed a placebo was a real drug, David left the industry to write books and educate people on how they can harness their mind and emotions to improve their mental and physical health. Today, I want you to keep an open mind. We talk about crystals, energy biofields, visualisation, the law of attraction and a bunch of concepts that make the sceptical part of my brain nervous to even consider talking about. But reading the book “Why Woo Woo Works”, the surprising science behind meditation, reiki, crystals and other alternative practices, has opened up my mind to the possibility of why these are practices that hold merit. We talk about: The mechanism behind placebo Positive vs Pessimistic consultations in general practice Visualisation and the immune system Nature, fractals and responses to pain with plants Reiki and biofield energy therapies Emotional contagion via mirror Neurons? ________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTERS: Timecodes: 00:00 - What Is WooWoo 11:18 - Exploring The Placebo 18:12 - Attuning to Nature 32:05 - The Law of Attraction 46:29 - Reiki & The Biofield 1:02:15 - Perceptions of Reality 1:15:31 - Brain Training ________________________________________________________________________ FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM Dr David Hamilton: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DavidRHamiltonPhD/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/DrDRHamilton Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/davidrhamiltonphd/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGaiq6z0qMY52imF7SepD3w _______________________________________________________________________ EAT WELL EVERYDAY 📱 Download the Doctor's Kitchen app for free here: https://apple.co/3La17ce 🥗 Download a FREE 7 day meal plan: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/newsletter/ LEARN FROM THE BEST 🎤 Listen to experts on the podcast: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts 👨🏽‍💻 Browse articles on the website: www.thedoctorskitchen.com MY COOKBOOKS 📚 https://thedoctorskitchen.com/books/ LET'S BE FRIENDS 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctors_kitchen/ 📹 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDHTLhQbYlFnPBv-iLgFsQQ 🙋🏽‍♂️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedoctorskitchen 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/doctors_kitchen 👔 https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupy-aujla/
