Dr. Stacy Berman - Health, Wellness & The Fascinating Field of Psychoneuroimmunology

Welcome back to another episode of Free Ideas! In todays chat I'll be speaking with Dr. Stacy Berman who specializes in the field of psychoneuroimmunology. Psychoneuroimmunology is the term used to describe the interactions between the emotional state, ones psychological processes, nervous system function, and the immune system. Investigations into these interactions have documented that the mind and attitude play a significant role in the functioning of the immune system.  I find this field to be a fascinating topic of study and personally for me, it has come more into focus in recent years as we have watched certain narratives dominate mainstream thought around health and disease in ways that may not actually benefit those who take such claims as absolute truth.  Stacy Berman is a super bright and warm hearted human who is truly a joy to speak with and definitely has a profound light to shed on these topics, which you'll hear in this episode. Some background on Stacy from her website reads as follows: "Many people got to know Stacy Berman by getting their asses handed to them at one of her Stacy's Bootcamp sessions in Central Park. A pioneer in the fitness industry called a "NYC fitness icon" by Forbes Magazine, Stacy trail-blazed the way for the global boutique fitness craze we see today. It was during her rise in the fitness arena and her own that Stacy realized spiritual and mental healing is not only as imperative as physical wellness, but that they are irrevocably intertwined. This began her work in psychoneuroimmundlogy. Stacy now holds a PhD in Natural Medicine, apprenticed to a Hopi medicine woman for 8 years, works with Plant Medicine, is a movement and somatic specialist, sex expert, a Reiki Master, trained in Bioresonance Analysis of Health, ACMOS Method, and Compassionate Inquiry practitioner. Stacy has studied under Dr. Pillai, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Amit Goswami, Dr. Gabor Mate, MD. Dr. Baskaran Pillai, Dr. Thomas Sculz, MD and Dr. Bruce Lipton. Stacy has over twenty six years of experience in the health, healing and wellness industry where she worked with a broad spectrum of people who not only heal but feel alive."  There were so many moments of insight in this conversation and I'm so grateful to be able to share it with you now.
