What if everything you’ve been told about health, stress, and aging is wrong?

Today, the legendary Dr. Ellen Langer – pioneering Harvard psychologist and global mindfulness legend, renowned for her 50+ years of groundbreaking research – joins Mel for the conversation of a lifetime.

She says you can use your mind to heal your body, and she has 50 years of headline-making science to back it up.

You’ll hear about people healing faster when the clock on the wall sped up.

Elderly men getting stronger and younger by pretending they traveled back in time.

Hotel housekeepers losing weight simply by being told their work counted as exercise.

And that’s just scratching the surface.

Dr. Langer’s research shows that your beliefs and attention can boost your health, and today, she’s sharing exactly how you can apply this science into your daily life.

You’re going to learn how to use your mind to heal your body and give yourself the gift of a healthier, happier life – from the inside out.

You’ll also learn:
-The mindset shifts that can boost immunity, ease pain, and speed up recovery
-The famed research studies that will stop you in your tracks and make you rethink your health
-How to reframe regret and stop getting stuck focusing on the past
-What to do next time you or a loved one is facing a chronic illness or scary diagnosis

Dr. Langer says it’s clear:

You are more powerful than you think.

Your beliefs shape your biology.

This episode shows you how.
