Description

We spend a lot of time focusing on what we eat, how we move, and how we sleep, but rarely do we discuss who is doing the eating, moving, and sleeping. In other words, we talk about actions, things we do, but not so much about being, who we are. Turning our attention within to the complex and mysterious realm of mind, emotion, and spirit can be challenging, but there is a reason why so many of the great thinkers, entrepreneurs, athletes, and high performers of the world make exploration of their inner world a priority. 
In this episode of Paleo Magazine Radio, we’re joined by Chris Kresser. You probably know him best for his uber-popular website chriskresser.com, top-rated podcast Revolution Health Radio, and bestselling book The Paleo Cure, but what you might not know is that Chris is a long-time practitioner of Zen meditation, and he's someone who understands the role that the mind can play in both health and disease. 
Tony and Chris discuss:

His background in traditional Chinese medicine
The nature of the placebo effect and why he thinks it should actually be called the meaning response
Studies of the placebo effect's opposite, the nocebo effect
The benefits of meditation
How to cultivate the witness and break the cycle of reactivity
The connection between mindfulness and health
How to start your own personal meditation practice
