Mindsets - Dr. Ellen Langer - Mind Body Connection

How Your Mindset Alters Your Health and Well-Being For The Better or Worse

What matters more: mind or body? 

In our latest episode award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer joins Dr. Greg Kelly to discuss negative mindsets and the healing power of its mindfulness—the process of active noticing where we are not bound by past experience or conventional wisdom.

Dr. Langer narrates fascinating studies that demonstrate how mindsets can dramatically impact physical health. And we dive deep into the 'borderline effect' in medical diagnoses and the variability in human conditions, revealing that much of what we accept as fixed may in fact be changeable through mindful attention.

Key Takeaways:

• Mind-body unity: Dr. Langer's studies show that the mind and body are interconnected, with mental states significantly influencing physical health.
• Mindfulness and Variability: Embracing change and uncertainty to enhance personal well-being and adaptability in various aspects of life.
• Borderline effect: When it comes to medical diagnoses, being on the borderline of a diagnosis can greatly impact a patient's perceived health and treatment outcomes.

We are in charge of our experience. And the more mindful we are, the easier life becomes.- Dr. Ellen Langer

The research-backed tips return control over our bodies back to us and reveal that a true understanding of health begins with our minds. Listen now.
