0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to the FoodMedic podcast. I'm your host, as always, Dr. Hazel.
0:08.8	Today I'm joined by Stanford Professor and Reverie's co-founder and chief scientific officer, Dr. David Spiegel.
0:16.1	Dr. Spiegel is a psychiatrist with more than 45 years of clinical and research experience, studying stress,
0:23.2	pain, sleep and hypnosis. He has written 13 books, 404 scientific journal articles, and
0:30.2	170 book chapters. He was educated at Harvard and Yale and now works at Stanford. In this episode we discuss hypnosis,

1:34.8	psychiatrists and psychoanalyst. And so they told me that I was free to be any kind of psychiatrist
1:40.6	I wanted to be. And here I am. The dinner table conversations were pretty interesting.
1:47.0	And my father got introduced to hypnosis when he went off to World War II, actually.
1:54.0	A Viennese psychiatrist who had escaped from Europe came here and he had learned hypnosis as a forensic psychiatrist.
2:05.1	He had a smallpox scar in the middle of his forehead, and he noticed that prisoners he was interviewing would suddenly kind of lean their heads over and seemed to drift off.
