0:00.0	Welcome back to the Anxion Health Podcast where we educate you on real health solutions
0:07.7	that will help transform the way you live, feel, and overcome disease naturally.
0:12.9	I'm your host Courtney Versage along with Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Chris Motley. We're so
0:18.4	happy you've joined us. Let's dive into today's episode.
0:21.7	Hey everyone, Dr. Axe here. Welcome to the podcast. Today I'm going to be talking about
0:26.2	mindset medicine. I used to think early on my career that food was the greatest form of medicine,
0:31.8	but one of the things I've started realizing is I've treated thousands of patients over the years
0:36.8	is that our mindset, what we believe is the most powerful form of medicine in the world.
0:42.7	And when you look at the medical literature, this really proves that if you've ever heard of
0:45.8	something like the placebo effect or no placebo effect, you'll see that your beliefs about your

1:26.2	or as a man thinketh and his heart so is he. And so really, the idea is is that you become what
1:31.9	you think. And so if you believe you're healthy, if you believe this food you're eating is healthy,
1:36.3	it actually makes you healthier versus if you believe what you're eating is not healthy for you.
1:42.0	If it's toxic, your body will react as such. And so I'm going to get into some of this amazing
1:47.5	information today. And let me say this again, you know, on the show frequently I talk about
1:52.8	supplements and herbs and essential oils and and sleep hacks and all kinds of things. But
