Did you know that your brain has the hidden potential to improve sleep, reduce pain, and enhance focus without drugs or gimmicks?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Spiegel, a professor at Stanford University, to explore the groundbreaking science of hypnosis. Learn how hypnosis can enhance your ability to improve sleep, manage pain, and increase relaxation. Plus, discover the fascinating link between hypnosis and improving memory, focus, and emotional well-being.
Dr. Spiegel, who has mapped brain activity under hypnosis, explains how hypnosis can help regulate the mind-body connection, reduce stress, and even improve chronic pain management. He also shares insights from his work in oncology and the psychosocial benefits of support groups for cancer patients.
Don’t miss Dr. Spiegel’s tips for using self-hypnosis in your daily life, including the powerful Reveri app, which offers a simple, effective way to practice hypnosis and improve your mental and physical health.

“Hypnosis allows you to try out being different. So when you're anxious, when you're having trouble going to sleep, when you're suffering with pain, when you have a phobia, it's a real advantage to try out being different—to not approach the same problem with the same mixture of fear and avoidance that usually makes matters worse rather than better.” ~ Dr. David Spiegel
