Nutrition Nugget: Nocebo

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks, and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about nocibo. Ever heard of it? It’s similar to the word placebo, where an inactive substance provokes a perceived benefit. But nocibo happens when an inactive substance causes perceived harm. This can also happen when we essentially have negative expectations regarding a treatment or prognosis. So how can our mind cause us physical harm? How do we avoid falling into the nocibo trap?  In just a few minutes, Jenn answers all these questions and more. Like what you're hearing?
