(Dr. Joseph Mercola) Dr. David Hanscom, an orthopedic surgeon whom I’ve previously interviewed about strategies for chronic back pain, quit his practice to focus on educating others on becoming pain-free without surgery. Most recently, after surviving COVID-19, he turned his attention to prevention and surviving it, which is an important part of this discussion.

How our Mind Plays a Critical Role in Healing our Body
(Arjun Walia) Multiple studies and experiments have demonstrated that the mind does have an ability to heal, or assist with healing and recovery. How powerful is our mind? Why do some people still regard this thought as ‘pseudoscientific’ when there is a lot of statistically significant research that’s available with regards to the mind/matter mind/body connection?
Somatic Therapy: Releasing Trapped Emotions
(Exploring Your Mind) Although somatic therapy has its critics recent advances in neuroscience back up a lot of its principles. Being aware of your somatic experiences can help you heal trauma and trapped emotions.
Mind-Body Science: Walking Changes Vision — Study
(Neuroscience News) How do we perceive our environment? What is the influence of sensory stimuli on the peripheral nervous system and what on the brain? Science has an interest in this question for many reasons. In the long term, insights from this research could contribute to a better understanding of diseases such as ADHD and Parkinson’s disease.
How Your Emotions Affect Your Organ Health
(Hilde Larson) After years of studying health and how to allow the body to naturally heal, there is one topic that keeps coming back to me as significant, and that is the body-emotion connection. The key role they play in our physical wellbeing, and how much gunk we carry from early childhood. From our upbringing, our traumas, conditioning and belief system. How everything we ever lived is stored in our cells, and how our emotional terrain affects our vital organs.
Hypnotic Healing and the Mysterious Relationship Between Mind and Body
(Steve Taylor, Ph.D.) In the 1840s, a Scottish doctor living in India named James Esdaile was frequently visited by men with enormous tumours (weighing up to 45 kg) in the scrotum, caused by mosquito bites. The operation to remove them was so painful that men would often put it off for years, only having it as a last resort.
The Somatic Nervous System: Characteristics and Functions
(Exploring Your Mind) The essential function of the nervous system is communication. Experts divide the nervous system into the somatic nervous system (SNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
Psychobiotics: Bacteria For Your Brain?
(Kelly Brogan, M.D.) Every functional medicine psychiatrist has case stories of the “probiotic cure” – of a patient with debilitating symptoms, often obsessive compulsive range, whose symptoms remitted completely with dietary change and probiotic supplementation. Is this voodoo or is it based on a growing understanding of the role of the microbiome in mental health and behavior?
The Human Eye has a Spooky Ability: It can Detect “Ghost Images”
(Janine Acero) Some people claim they can see apparitions, things that aren’t really there, or just straight up ghosts. If you’re a skeptical person, you may chalk it up to fatigue, drunkenness, or even hallucinations — anything but actual ghosts. But there may be a sliver of truth to those claims after all. In a new paper posted on arXiv, scientists in Scotland at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow have discovered that the human eye can actually detect “ghost images.”

Diet’s Role in Mental Well-being More Pronounced in Women, New Research Concludes
(Ellaine Castillo) The relationship between mental health and diet has long been established; but something that has intrigued researchers for years is whether this is associated with the higher incidence of mental distress in women than in men. A recent study by researchers from Binghamton University, which was published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience, revealed that diet does play a bigger role in maintaining mental well-being in women.
Laugh It Off: Even Simulated Laughter Improves Your Mood
(Zoey Sky) People say that a sense of humor makes life’s troubles easier to bear. However, according to the results of a study, implementing a one-of-a-kind simulated laughter program may also help boost the overall health of an individual who requires hemodialysis.
