A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and increased natural pain relief chemicals in participants’ blood. The effects even promoted neuron growth and stronger brain connectivity. Surprisingly, the experience mirrored psychedelic-like brain states—without any drugs involved.

    Lol…

    The study followed 20 healthy adults who took part in a 7-day residential retreat led by neuroscience educator and author Joe Dispenza, D.C.

    For this not familiar seeing “D.C.” in this context or that name…

    It’s a chiropractor that keeps rambling about “quantum” stuff without understanding any of it…

    But when I typed Dr. Joe Dispenza’s name and pressed enter, the first page didn’t show the usual Wikipedia and Google Scholar pages. Instead, I got a bunch of random self-promotional websites and YouTube videos of conferences he had held. Some of these videos are deeply disturbing: telling a woman to just think about how much she wants kids to fix her infertility; saying that we can achieve immortality — and that some human beings have achieved it — by truly “living in the present.”

    And the credentials? His website is incredibly vague: “Dr. Joe holds a Bachelor of Science degree and is a Doctor of Chiropractic. His postgraduate training includes the fields of neuroscience and neuroplasticity, quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) measurements, epigenetics, mind-body medicine, and brain/heart coherence.” Most scientists will agree this does not make you a neuroscientist. Also, a Bachelor of Science in what, exactly? Why withhold that information?

    I just imagine this chucklefuck being on a plane and someone yelling for a doctor…

    And he leaps to the rescue, unnecessary adjusts their left rotator cuff, and then tells him to think about puppies to stop their heart attack.

    There’s way to much pseudo science slop thrown around this sub tho, even if this one is so ridiculous it’s almost funny.
