I always had a doubt whether visualizations have any scientific basis or not. But when Dr. Huberman himself confirmed visualizations work and shared more insight into it, that's when I finally decided to commit myself fully to power of visualizations forever !

The mind breaks a thousand times earlier then the body, if you quit when you’re mind tells you to you will never realize quite how far the limits on your body really are.
I don't know man. I call this red lining, I use to do it in mma and it's not something fun to go through. I think it's sort of like a reserve that you don't want to hit unless you absolutely have to because it is red lining your body and causing lots of harm.
Jordan Peterson had a similar finding on simply setting goals and having a life plan- which leads into the expectation effect: You have a vision of where you think you should be- you WILL MORE LIKELY get there than if you wander through life w/out a plan.
I’m really glad science is studying this. It’s amazing. I always wondered why some people have the same exact disease but some recover and some don’t with the same treatment. Our mindset and expectations are much more important than we give credit
"I'm really glad science is studying this" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yeah it's called psychology and neuroscience bud... They have been doing it a long time. There have always (in modern times) been sciences doing the studying(lol) of the relationship between the mind and the body and expectation VS reality. We are constantly creating self fulfilling prophecies.
@@manualdreamer5112hmmm so do ye think that thinking that our expectations and drives on stuff greatly affect the outcomes is a self-fulfilling prophecy??
This is why you NEVER should listen to someone telling you what you have or haven't/are or aren't. Set your own best standard for yourself! Also, don't take the risk & surround yourself with idiots. Thanks for this video. It made me think a lot of great things :)
It is so important to be aware of the prophecies which we speak over ourselves. "I am " statements are powerful , and should not be said lightly - we become whet we speak into our being.
It will work if you have these three: 1. positive viewpoint of the event (path, stressor, etc) 2. Believing it's possible (probable/plausible) 3. Desire of the outcome
And you don't defer authority externally. In that example it was DOCTORS who told them, or RESEARCHERS. They wouldn't believe themselves. They needed someone outside of them to do this.
Expectations are creative imaginings that shape our story. Our story determines our life path. We don't always get what we want or even deserve, but we always get what we expect.
It amazes me everytime at the unity of the body and mind. The nervous system is the body and mind together. What happens in one also happens in the other. IBS, insomnia, immune disorders. So many of these disorders can be traced to a psychological element that manifested as a physical symptom. It's insane.
I never worked out more rigorously than during the lock downs... it was definitely stress. Ive also noticed that throughout my life my tendency to exercise increased the less “safe” my surroundings were. Unfortunately the negative side effects of stress are deprivation of sleep. Six solid is a pipe dream.
Look into magnesium if you haven't. Around 1 gram before bed. Watch out for citrates laxative effect though, but there are other non lax forms. It's helped me w sleep, I mean tremendously.
This is fascinating but also slightly frightening. Makes you wonder if it is actually a good thing to talk more openly about topics such as mental health issues. Sure, it helps reduce the stigma so there are positive aspects about it but how much of the current increase is due to people feeling more free to talk about their issues and how much is induced by the ubiquity of the topic in the media.
Talking about mental health issues doesn’t make them easier to deal with. Especially if it’s serious like bipolar or OCD. People only care about the mental illnesses they can relate to. Never tell anyone but a family member or a psychologist. Employers will have a red target in your back and look for every reason to fire you
I think it's important to talk about and also important to know how to use that knowledge constructively. You don't have to have a victim mindset just because you're aware that you're depressed or have had trauma. You can use that knowledge to more effectively reduce your depression or the effect that trauma has on your life by using tools and strategies specifically tailored to deal with those issues. It's like if you have pain in your leg and you learn your knee is broken, you're not like "oh woe is me, my knee is broken I'll never walk again." Instead, you now have a better idea of how to fix your leg (for example maybe a cast, surgery, physical therapy, etc) so you're able to walk again.
Reminds me of a girl I used to know. Most of her family members died young. Like in their 50s. All health related. She was in her late 20s telling herself she didnt have that long left. All that unnecessary stress that brought into her life really affected her health. How she approached life. Her mental outlook. Is it a self driven outcome? I think mental stress effects our body way more than we know.
Long story, but I ended up doing a half marathon on a whim- because my best friend didn’t want to do it alone, and I knew how much it meant to her. So, I decided to support her. With barely any training at all, I completed a half marathon. Granted, it wasn’t the best time- but it taught me a really powerful lesson about mind over matter. You are way more powerful and capable than what you realize.
@@zoli11 oh yikes! I’m not saying it was a good idea by any means- just that we are more powerful than we realize. I do NOT recommend this! Hope he’s ok!
This is amazing. And we are all capable of influencing our responses. But you see, in these examples the only way it worked, is they WERE BEING TOLD, by an authority. They deferred their decision making process at an unconcious level to authority. What if you take that back. You are the authority. You defer that authority to yourself.
Great clip thank you Chris- I personally view a positive mindset as an extra 'boost' that I can deploy in times of challenge, but after hearing this, perhaps it can be used for so much more than that! For instance, when I'm doing a functional fitness class and coming to the point of exhaustion, I've trained my mind to kick in the positive 'you can do this, you've got this' narrative, and it's honestly unbelievable sometimes the amount of extra effort I receive to keep going!
A mindset isn’t a boost, it’s a way of living life. Having faith and belief in the best possible outcome you can achieve and when not earned, having gratitude for the shortcoming that allows you to learn, grow and get better. Do the best you think you can and do even more than that.
@@SwagMuffin567 Yes I agree with you, it is a way of living, but my comment was referring to the specific point Chris & Andrew were making about how powerful positive self-talk can be in times of challenge.
There is a reason that real factual based expectations is so powerful!!! We are patterns nested within patterns, wavelengths nested within wavelengths. This is the spiritual reason of rituals being performed precisely with the focus, attitude, and understanding to be on the razorblade edge of correct action!
Chris, I’d encourage you to consider the difference between correlations and causations. “The people who associated age with more positive thinking lived longer“ does not necessarily mean “positive thinking can affect how long you live.” Whenever there is data showing a correlation, you should consider that there are 4 different possibilities that explain the causation of a correlation. 1) coincidence, 2) the people who were already dying had a negative outlook. 3) A third event could cause the negative attitude and the earlier death, and 4) the negative thinking could cause the earlier death.
@@JohnSimerlink2014 I think the point is that it’s still hard to weed out effect when the placebo effect is so real. What you’re testing in comparison might have a serious effect but if the placebo effect is strong also, it doesn’t necessarily mean that what it’s being compared to has no effect. This has been a problem with even double blind trials because people still know there there for treatment of something. That’s why a lot of studies now include a “no-cebo “ group so they have a real baseline to compare to.
Love him or hate them... Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Charles Haanel all talked about this ... Right thinking is the hardest thing to do. Pressure (stress) makes diamonds...but also busts pipes.
@@marcin8865 i have come to the realization that my thoughts are actually useless daydreaming. How to change? These thoughts are completely unproductive. I cant seem to access any creativity or develop plans to get what i want in life. I am just floating in a raft with no oar or rudder afraid it might sink any day.
@@brushstroke3733 Its definetely difficult. Because many factors affect your thinking all the time. You hve to educate your mind to stay on particular thoughts and it takes lot of effort until becomes part of you. Even then you hve to keep practice it.
@@marcin8865 Daydreaming is far more productive than pushing a noodle, which is what we do when we take action before inspiration. Contrary to what you say, creativity comes from letting go of pondering problems so that solutions can come from the ether. Einstein and Edison both said as much themselves. Take a nap and the solution will present itself more often than ruminating over a problem.
@@Antaress77 The less you struggle against what you don't want, the easier life becomes. No one is forcing us to listen to media or hang out with people who focus on problems more than appreciating the many mysteries of this incredible existence. Remember, the Earth is but a speck of dust in space (or at least, that's the story most of us believe), so we are all "making mountains out of molehills" when we worry about ourselves, humanity, etc.
I've ordered the book. I can't wait to read it. I'm on a list for an autism test but because of this video I'm in 2 minds whether to go or not 🤔 There's nothing wrong with you 💯
This is remarkable. It's different to suspect this is occurring, and knowing this has been scientifically proved. As a rational person from a young age I would always steer away from the "woo woo" stuff like "the law of attraction" and all these affirmations and the fact that beliefs do affect our body in a great way. I have been learning through my life to be more open minded to these ideas because I saw successful and content in life people using those tools. I will be introducing those in my life for sure.
This relates so well to what’s occurred over the past 2 years with the whole Covid narrative. Imagine how many individuals have let mainstream media influence them..
I’ve always been somewhat aware of how media influences people but in the past few years, maybe even since 2015 with the political climate exploding, I have become keenly aware of how easily humans are influenced on every issue of life and how important it is to avoid as much media as possible or to be extremely selective about everything I consume in my life.
I used to struggle with performance anxiety with sex for a few years and because of that I straight up avoided it. What I learned when moving forward and developing from it, is that stressing out and worrying about not being able to perform hindered my ability to become aroused, and the expectation that I wouldn't be able to perform made it so. When I just stopped worrying, stopped making that expectation of how I should feel before sex, leading up to and during, I was actually able to enjoy it, feel aroused and learn how to be intimate with someone again. But the most important thing I learned, is that the expectations I made on how I'm supposed to feel when aroused or in order to be aroused and how sex should be, how I should be and the level of intensity that I learned from porn, had a huge effect on me. Long story short, drop expectations, life changes, interactions change, you change and others change in those different contexts and situations, and it's important to keep an open mind, explore different ways of being in the world and yourself, and just enjoy it
My first thought watching this is, "Has anyone tried to measure the physiological effects of an alcoholic drinking non-alcoholic beer?" I gave up on alcohol two years ago, but recently started drinking NA "beer" and I swear I feel a buzz.
i would like to ask you, when do you drink the NA BEER? DO YOU DRINK IT AT BARS, OR AROUD PEOPLE HOW ARE DRINKING? OR DO YOU MORE OFTEN DRINK IT BY YOURSELF OR AROWND SOBERS?
@@yousifchuck123 I've just been having them at home, usually towards the end of the day. I had some NA Pabst the other day after doing some yard work and it tasted like I remembered it, and I felt this warm, fuzzy, relaxed sensation wash over me. Unlike drinking the real stuff, I didn't feel like I had to have another to keep the buzz going or ramp it up. It's been weird; good weird.
Great conversation. I would suggest stress you believe you are able to respond to grows you; stress you are "powerless" to respond to degrades you. For example: men abusing women.
our words are magic , our thoughts move the metal out of the earth , we are super powerful , but if you expect to use the senses you believe you are familiar with you won’t understand this power, it exist outside of what we are traditionally taught , the realm of mentality and imagination
What NLP, Bandler and Grinder, has been riding since the 70's and was dismissed for la long time. Importance of the language you use, the beliefs you hold etc.
The experiment where u talk negatively or positively to foods or water and seeing how that projection can actually effect/affect how the aforementioned forms in reaction to the projections verbally or even Telepathically is fascinating. An old man that operated a convenience store I used to frequent as a younger man used to always say as people left his store "watch out for that stress now, it's that silent killer"
@@randomnumbers84269 oh that's great can you tell me as to what were your takeaways from the video and what learnings did you apply to your own life from this one that it had a positive impact?
The science only is not enough for understanding our self,we need psychology too ,philosophy, so expand your knowledge, I love Andrew keep going champ .
There's so much mumbo jumbo in the self improvement world, but I really like your channel. I love that you use science and backed up studies to reinforce your points. I'm training to become a biomedical scientist in the NHS and Neuroscience is so fascinating to me. It nust be amazing for those that work in the field conducting all these fascinating studies.
There is a balance to stress for growth, mastering mindset is a skill in our modern world. And there is the whole dream sleep state that really can affect you, but we so often do not remember our dreams but they are filled with stress. We wonder whats going on... thats why grounding excercises are so important.
That is why Marcus Aurelius said a long long time ago that your happiness depends, on the quality of your thoughts. That is why you should never entertain notions that are unhealthy or not true.
I think biology can explain why we need both stress and relaxation. We have sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. So you need to cater to both, not one, to be fully healthy and happy. Its like work hard and then get your reward. Stress -> Relax -> Stress...
This is why you pray over a meal and to bless it to your bodies. The “ancients” weren’t “stupid” or less intelligent. Their wisdom is passed down for many reasons, and only the meaning is twisted by bad actors or lost in translation.
Its hardly groundbraking. Negative thoughts produce stress, cortisol which is a good thing to survive in stressful situations. But if that stress is prolongued of course thats a bad thing. Positive thoughts reduce stress and that brings all the positive changes in physiology.
Sounds a bit more like, “Your belief* impacts your reality.” Either way, Chris, you’ve come a long way with your show and it’s great. Welcome to Austin as well - I hope we’re treating you well here in Texas ❤️
Very interesting video! Love this kind of content. Reminded me of some verses. As someone thinks within himself, so he is. -Proverbs 23:7 Kind words are like honey. They are sweet to the spirit and bring healing to the body. -Proverbs 16:24 Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim. Proverbs 15:4
To this writer who interacts with the world in a primarily spiritual way, this isn't news, though I love hearing science grasp its simple truth: We create our own realities.
Most so-called scientists have a very unscientific belief and faith in an objective reality, so that is what they expect and observe. They have no idea that they, too, are living within a powerful faith.
@@southlondon86 I apologise if that sounded egotistical. It wasn't meant that way. It's simply that science too often brushes matters of spirit aside, and I suppose I am wont to push back a little, is all.
Notes: Placebo effect across every area you care about: gluten, stress effect, VO2 max performance. People told they are well positioned for it and not well positioned for it, with genetic mutations, randomly, have a higher effect than the gene itself without the belief! Bad effects of stress and great effect of stress: they have a better physiological response to it and much less damage. Placebo, expectation, plus physiological. We cannot lie completely, but to some extent if you believe it you change physiology and neurochemistry and that changes reality. Word associations to old age were associated with life expectancy and health. SEAL - stress grows you and challenge grows you - forward center of mass - always embracing the limbic friction. You only get away with that for a few years if you do not have a good recovery mechanism
I think the main thing/problem here is how to get yourself to BELIEVE tje positive thing. I can recite positive affirmations to myself all the time but if I don't believe them it's nit going to produce tje physiological reaction we want.
I think at a certain point of “faking it til you make it”, it really starts to become real more and more over time, and then you start really believing it, and then it’s true. It doesn’t really take that much time to actually see the first results of this, but the practice doesn’t seem to have limits to how far it can go in a positive direction. It does feel a bit “wrong” at first just to tell yourself “I have abundance” when you have nothing, but you just have to force it for a little bit. Even if you have to think about other things in your life that are abundant, like family/health, etc.

Chris pls consider interviewing Laurie A Couture - her work is excellent. 'One of the greatest public health crises any society faces is childhood developmental trauma. The trajectory of a person’s lifelong holistic health is determined less by genetics and more by epigenetics. Healthy epigenetic expression is determined by how completely a person’s childhood developmental needs were met and how secure the parent-child attachment relationship had been from birth through adolescence. Devastating numbers of children in industrialized and agricultural societies alike suffer developmental trauma and parent-child attachment disruption, which are scientifically correlated to lifelong deleterious outcomes in mental and physical health, including addiction, violence, suicidal ideation, autoimmune diseases, and premature mortality. Nature’s intent for children’s epigenetic, physical, psychological, neurological, cognitive, social, sexual, and spiritual development is foundational to holistic health. '
Other great sources for this topic are Marissa Peer and Dr. Gabor Mate. They both teach about the crisis of unworthiness that almost everyone suffers at deep, mostly unconscious levels.
That's why the intentional gaslighting techniques (used in media and in the real world) are so dangerous! If you have enough people/distant sources convincing someone that the "special" experiences they had NEVER happened, or couldn't have happened because of x, y or z, then they MIGHT start to doubt EVEN the numerous objective non-verbal input, which has nothing to do with subjective perception or protective mechanisms. That's another area where true mental toughness will come in handy. Psychological mind games are extremely powerful, BUT if you have objective evidence of those "special" experiences that already happened, then NO ONE can take that away from you. It already happened. The past cannot be erased.
Joe Dispenza is not a good example, many of his studies are deeply flawed and his "research" is rooted in testimonials and unproven hypotheses. While the placebo effect is real, his interpretations of this phenomenon are far off from the actual scientific research.
@@sanandasobie3063 how are they flawed. Give 1 example. It's not just joe saying these things, it's every religion and many before him. How can you act like you know what the human brain can do when Harvard brains researchers say we know less than 1% of what the brain can do
He's a chiropractor and keeps talking about his imaginary studies nobody saw. No scientific evidence at all. Prove me I'm wrong and find any documented study done by him.
Bro look up Dr Zach Bush and please get him on your show. Gluten intolerances come from glyphosate which is the main active ingredient in roundup. We have been eating wheat for millennia and it’s only recently since we started using life estate that gluten sensitivities has become prevalent
When Dr Huberman speaks of the first test by Dr Krumb*, about stress. Im really interested to know, what do they tell these people after these test. Do they then show them and say this is how powerful stress can be or just let them go on believing what they ere told and therefor staying stressed...??
We'll, with this perspective, we can understand what happens when they get on the television and tell everyone they're gonna die of an airborne disease... just to bring it around how irresponsible the media has been the last few years.

@@brushstroke3733 Its definetely difficult. Because many factors affect your thinking all the time. You hve to educate your mind to stay on particular thoughts and it takes lot of effort until becomes part of you. Even then you hve to keep practice it.
@@marcin8865 Daydreaming is far more productive than pushing a noodle, which is what we do when we take action before inspiration. Contrary to what you say, creativity comes from letting go of pondering problems so that solutions can come from the ether. Einstein and Edison both said as much themselves. Take a nap and the solution will present itself more often than ruminating over a problem.
@@Antaress77 The less you struggle against what you don't want, the easier life becomes. No one is forcing us to listen to media or hang out with people who focus on problems more than appreciating the many mysteries of this incredible existence. Remember, the Earth is but a speck of dust in space (or at least, that's the story most of us believe), so we are all "making mountains out of molehills" when we worry about ourselves, humanity, etc.
Our own expectations are more powerful than *what anyone tells you*
Is that why expectations of my youth, 20s and 30s, never happened? None of it.
I've ordered the book. I can't wait to read it.
I'm on a list for an autism test but because of this video I'm in 2 minds whether to go or not 🤔
There's nothing wrong with you 💯
Stress grows you, but it's not the only thing that grows you. I like it.
In essence, education changes our biology. This is fascinating!!
It’s almost like consciousness affects reality.
Right its almost like the law of attraction is real and the universe is imaginary
@@seansmith1725 that legit happened to me today.. i was thinking of this woman.. she ends up messaging me first
It’s almost like if you have a DMT experience you would understand that very deeply.
Such a huge combination of knowledge in this one episode, can’t wait to talk to you both personally, you guys are inspirational
This is remarkable. It's different to suspect this is occurring, and knowing this has been scientifically proved. As a rational person from a young age I would always steer away from the "woo woo" stuff like "the law of attraction" and all these affirmations and the fact that beliefs do affect our body in a great way. I have been learning through my life to be more open minded to these ideas because I saw successful and content in life people using those tools. I will be introducing those in my life for sure.
This relates so well to what’s occurred over the past 2 years with the whole Covid narrative. Imagine how many individuals have let mainstream media influence them..
I’ve always been somewhat aware of how media influences people but in the past few years, maybe even since 2015 with the political climate exploding, I have become keenly aware of how easily humans are influenced on every issue of life and how important it is to avoid as much media as possible or to be extremely selective about everything I consume in my life.
I used to struggle with performance anxiety with sex for a few years and because of that I straight up avoided it. What I learned when moving forward and developing from it, is that stressing out and worrying about not being able to perform hindered my ability to become aroused, and the expectation that I wouldn't be able to perform made it so. When I just stopped worrying, stopped making that expectation of how I should feel before sex, leading up to and during, I was actually able to enjoy it, feel aroused and learn how to be intimate with someone again. But the most important thing I learned, is that the expectations I made on how I'm supposed to feel when aroused or in order to be aroused and how sex should be, how I should be and the level of intensity that I learned from porn, had a huge effect on me. Long story short, drop expectations, life changes, interactions change, you change and others change in those different contexts and situations, and it's important to keep an open mind, explore different ways of being in the world and yourself, and just enjoy it
How do you just stop thinking and worrying?
Bro, Thank you so much for the transparency. You aren’t alone in this fight. God bless you for such vulnerability.

My first thought watching this is, "Has anyone tried to measure the physiological effects of an alcoholic drinking non-alcoholic beer?" I gave up on alcohol two years ago, but recently started drinking NA "beer" and I swear I feel a buzz.
i would like to ask you, when do you drink the NA BEER?
DO YOU DRINK IT AT BARS, OR AROUD PEOPLE HOW ARE DRINKING?
OR DO YOU MORE OFTEN DRINK IT BY YOURSELF OR AROWND SOBERS?
@@yousifchuck123 I've just been having them at home, usually towards the end of the day. I had some NA Pabst the other day after doing some yard work and it tasted like I remembered it, and I felt this warm, fuzzy, relaxed sensation wash over me. Unlike drinking the real stuff, I didn't feel like I had to have another to keep the buzz going or ramp it up. It's been weird; good weird.
Loving your content.
I think this is something Goggins always go for when he would stress himself by saying going through life without doing his best. (Expectations)
Great conversation. I would suggest stress you believe you are able to respond to grows you; stress you are "powerless" to respond to degrades you. For example: men abusing women.
Stress grows you but you also need rest. Muscles grow from tearing them, but only if they have a chance to regenerate.
The good discussion aside, isn't the venue they have chosen for the discussion amazing? I love the light on the table and the room in general.
Love love love Dr. Andrew Huberman ❤
our words are magic , our thoughts move the metal out of the earth , we are super powerful , but if you expect to use the senses you believe you are familiar with you won’t understand this power, it exist outside of what we are traditionally taught , the realm of mentality and imagination
This is fascinating. The problem is that it's hard to trick yourself... You need someone else to trick you or it's not nearly as effective
Lol, people “trick” themselves all the time. That’s what beliefs are, they aren’t based on facts that for sure.
What NLP, Bandler and Grinder, has been riding since the 70's and was dismissed for la long time. Importance of the language you use, the beliefs you hold etc.
The experiment where u talk negatively or positively to foods or water and seeing how that projection can actually effect/affect how the aforementioned forms in reaction to the projections verbally or even Telepathically is fascinating.

There's so much mumbo jumbo in the self improvement world, but I really like your channel. I love that you use science and backed up studies to reinforce your points.

There is a balance to stress for growth, mastering mindset is a skill in our modern world. And there is the whole dream sleep state that really can affect you, but we so often do not remember our dreams but they are filled with stress. We wonder whats going on... thats why grounding excercises are so important.
Boy howdy! I have been having very vivid and memorable dreams lately, and some of them have been very stressful.
The power of suggestion is powerful.

Real effect + perceived effect = your reality 🤯
That is why Marcus Aurelius said a long long time ago that your happiness depends, on the quality of your thoughts. That is why you should never entertain notions that are unhealthy or not true.
That clip was pretty much top notch. Extremely interesting.
“All is Mind”
I think biology can explain why we need both stress and relaxation. We have sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. So you need to cater to both, not one, to be fully healthy and happy. Its like work hard and then get your reward. Stress -> Relax -> Stress...
I believe he is right about stress. Push Forward hard but scale it back few% to reset and start again. Reminds me of Japanese work habit Kaizen
This is why you pray over a meal and to bless it to your bodies.
The “ancients” weren’t “stupid” or less intelligent. Their wisdom is passed down for many reasons, and only the meaning is twisted by bad actors or lost in translation.
So our thinking literally has direct impact on our hormones. That's impressive!
Its hardly groundbraking. Negative thoughts produce stress, cortisol which is a good thing to survive in stressful situations. But if that stress is prolongued of course thats a bad thing. Positive thoughts reduce stress and that brings all the positive changes in physiology.
Think boobs.

To this writer who interacts with the world in a primarily spiritual way, this isn't news, though I love hearing science grasp its simple truth: We create our own realities.
Most so-called scientists have a very unscientific belief and faith in an objective reality, so that is what they expect and observe. They have no idea that they, too, are living within a powerful faith.
@@brushstroke3733 So true.
Did spirituality ever teach you about losing your ego?
@@southlondon86 I apologise if that sounded egotistical. It wasn't meant that way. It's simply that science too often brushes matters of spirit aside, and I suppose I am wont to push back a little, is all.
@@LyndseyMacPherson No need to apologise at all.
It's the meaning that one attach to the thought that make or break you.
A bit of appreciation for the good but not click baity thumbnails.
Notes:
Placebo effect across every area you care about: gluten, stress effect, VO2 max performance. People told they are well positioned for it and not well positioned for it, with genetic mutations, randomly, have a higher effect than the gene itself without the belief!
Bad effects of stress and great effect of stress: they have a better physiological response to it and much less damage. Placebo, expectation, plus physiological. We cannot lie completely, but to some extent if you believe it you change physiology and neurochemistry and that changes reality.
Word associations to old age were associated with life expectancy and health.
SEAL - stress grows you and challenge grows you - forward center of mass - always embracing the limbic friction. You only get away with that for a few years if you do not have a good recovery mechanism
I think the main thing/problem here is how to get yourself to BELIEVE tje positive thing. I can recite positive affirmations to myself all the time but if I don't believe them it's nit going to produce tje physiological reaction we want.
I think at a certain point of “faking it til you make it”, it really starts to become real more and more over time, and then you start really believing it, and then it’s true. It doesn’t really take that much time to actually see the first results of this, but the practice doesn’t seem to have limits to how far it can go in a positive direction. It does feel a bit “wrong” at first just to tell yourself “I have abundance” when you have nothing, but you just have to force it for a little bit. Even if you have to think about other things in your life that are abundant, like family/health, etc.
Love this conversation.
"The safest way of not being very miserable is not to expect to be very happy."Arthur Schopenhauer.
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails".William Arthur Ward
This is what Faith does, a lot of faith based healings can be explained this way
This concept is well explained in the book ‘the biology of belief’ by Dr. Bruce Lipton
Bruce Lipton is awesome!!! Hearing him talk about being happy just by being happy really changed my views. Also his research on epigenetics is great
Lipton is a fraud. When somebody starts every sentence with „You know, I am a neuroscientist…“ you can be sure, he isn’t.

Bought the book, soon to read..thank you Chris...love your podcast it's so easy to listening to. Cheers from Canada..a country of once the free.
What’s the book?
Downloaded and started the book!
Chris pls consider interviewing Laurie A Couture - her work is excellent.
'One of the greatest public health crises any society faces is childhood developmental trauma. The trajectory of a person’s lifelong holistic health is determined less by genetics and more by epigenetics.
Healthy epigenetic expression is determined by how completely a person’s childhood developmental needs were met and how secure the parent-child attachment relationship had been from birth through adolescence.
Devastating numbers of children in industrialized and agricultural societies alike suffer developmental trauma and parent-child attachment disruption, which are scientifically correlated to lifelong deleterious outcomes in mental and physical health, including addiction, violence, suicidal ideation, autoimmune diseases, and premature mortality.
Nature’s intent for children’s epigenetic, physical, psychological, neurological, cognitive, social, sexual, and spiritual development is foundational to holistic health. '
Other great sources for this topic are Marissa Peer and Dr. Gabor Mate. They both teach about the crisis of unworthiness that almost everyone suffers at deep, mostly unconscious levels.
Thank you
The gap of science and spirituality is finally being bridged.
Incredible book!
"I'll believe it when I see it."
In reality...
Believe it, then you'll see it. ⚡
Believing that one can send thoughts into the cosmos to manifest an outcome, to visualize it into being, is called "megalomania"
There was a faith healer from Deal,
Who said "Although pain isn't real,
if I sit on a pin
and it punctures my skin,
I dislike what I *fancy* I feel."
Basically, we are still so primitive at own human design that we should be very careful in choosing right words.....You are what you tell to yourself!
Wow. This is great knowledge to have. I only wish I'd learned it sooner.
That's why the intentional gaslighting techniques (used in media and in the real world) are so dangerous! If you have enough people/distant sources convincing someone that the "special" experiences they had NEVER happened, or couldn't have happened because of x, y or z, then they MIGHT start to doubt EVEN the numerous objective non-verbal input, which has nothing to do with subjective perception or protective mechanisms. That's another area where true mental toughness will come in handy. Psychological mind games are extremely powerful, BUT if you have objective evidence of those "special" experiences that already happened, then NO ONE can take that away from you. It already happened. The past cannot be erased.
Two great hair lines in conversation
Dr. Joe Dispenza Has tons of great research behind all this stuff. His book becoming supernatural is great.
Joe Dispenza is not a good example, many of his studies are deeply flawed and his "research" is rooted in testimonials and unproven hypotheses. While the placebo effect is real, his interpretations of this phenomenon are far off from the actual scientific research.

I think there is a huge difference between acute stress and chronic stress.
The expectation affect could be a natural survival skill. Apply the approach to how a Camillion changes color to environment.
Belief comes before expectation,. Simples:
The "internal" thoughts appear to you, the "external" world appears to you and they both appear in the same place in DIRECT experience
When Dr Huberman speaks of the first test by Dr Krumb*, about stress. Im really interested to know, what do they tell these people after these test. Do they then show them and say this is how powerful stress can be or just let them go on believing what they ere told and therefor staying stressed...??
