New Huberman Lab podcast out now: HOW PLACEBO EFFECTS WORK TO CHANGE YOUR BIOLOGY & IMPACT YOUR HEALTH • - On the episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out today, I discuss placebo and belief and mindset effects — all of which exert a powerful and real influence on our biology and psychology. - I discuss how your beliefs and expectation that a certain outcome will occur after taking a substance (or any intervention cause genuine changes in brain and bodily function. - I discuss how placebos can change neurotransmitter and hormone release, pain levels, whether the stress response is beneficial or detrimental and more. I also explain how placebo effects can work with traditional drug or behavioral treatments to help improve health outcomes and why some people are more susceptible to placebo effects. - By the end of the episode, you will understand the placebo effect- both how it works, and how your beliefs and mindsets can be leveraged toward improving your mental health, physical health, and toward reaching your goals. - It is timestamped in detail so that you can navigate quickly to the topics most of interest to you. - Meanwhile, please put your questions in the comments section below this post.
