Catalysts for Change • Dr. David Hamilton on the Healer Within Us

In today’s episode of “Catalysts for Change,” Jill is joined by Dr. David Hamilton, researcher and author of a number of books on healing, including “How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body” and “Why Woo Woo Works.” Dr. Hamilton’s research was originally inspired by his early work in the pharmaceutical industry, where he was an organic chemist working on heart disease and cancer drugs. He was mesmerized by the placebo effect that occurred during drug trials, and after a few years he decided to switch gears and focus his research on how and why a placebo has the power to heal. His research has delivered answers tied to our neurons, neural transmitters, and neural pathways - effectively our internal pharmacy. Dr. Hamilton has since spent his career sharing research on tools that we can all use to help our bodies get and stay well.
