About the Guest

Key Takeaways
Most chronic illnesses and “medically unexplained symptoms” are often rooted in emotional stress rather than purely physical causes.
Your thoughts and beliefs can significantly influence your body’s physiological response, affecting everything from blood pressure to cortisol levels.
The Gratefully Well method uses gratitude to reframe negative thoughts, empowering people to actively participate in their healing.
Small, intentional shifts—such as reframing thoughts during stressful moments—can reduce physical and emotional strain.
Gratitude practices can complement traditional treatments, improving how patients respond to therapies like chemotherapy.
