When the Mind Shapes Reality, Belief is Good For You - Dr. Matthijs Kox

Medical mystery Wim Hof has put his body to the test, and the science is in: belief is really good for you. Especially if you learn to use the power of your mind (and lungs) to control your immune system. But what’s going on? How is it that your mind, a part of you that doesn’t even seem to have a physical location, shapes reality? How can thoughts have such a huge influence on everything from your immune system, to how likely you are to die in the next decade? Join us as we sit down with University of Radboud Immunologist Matthijs Kox and figure out the ways in which the mind affects medical outcomes, and why training yourself to overcome what the brain and body want can mean the difference between success and tragedy. ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Subscribe & Ring the bell to study the Secrets of the Universe ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª EPISODE LINKS:  Dr. Kox Website: https://www.radboudumc.nl/en/people/matthijs-kox Dr. Kox Publications: https://publons.com/researcher/2362625/matthijs-kox/ Dr. Kox Study on Wim Hof: https://www.pnas.org/content/111/20/7379  PODCAST INFO:  Blog: http://demystifyingscience.com/blog   Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3uhn7J1 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39IDJBD RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss Full episodes playlist: https://bit.ly/3sP1WgR Clips playlist: https://bit.ly/2OieYEG Donate: rb.gy/a7ueoz  Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y  SOCIAL:  - Twitter: https://twitter.com/demystifysci - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/demystifyingscience - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/demystifysci/  We wrote and performed the music in this episode!  Shilo Delay:  https://soundcloud.com/laterisgone​   And everywhere else (Spotify, etc..) https://g.co/kgs/fc8WbA  #WimHof #ConsciousControl #MindOverMatter
