In this episode, my guest is <a href="https://www.ellenlanger.me">Dr. Ellen Langer, Ph.D.</a>, professor of psychology at Harvard University and the world&#x2019;s leading researcher on the mind-body connection and the power our thinking has on our physical health. She explains how specific ways of framing and asking questions about the world shape our physical health and rate of aging. Dr. Langer also explains how our perception of time and control significantly impact our rate of physical healing, hormones, immune system, and longevity. She describes mindfulness as a way of framing life, not simply a meditation or other practice, and discusses data showing how to use one&#x2019;s mind to overcome health challenges and achieve remarkable outcomes. Dr. Langer is a luminary and pioneer in researching the relationship between the mind and body with scientific rigor. Her work and our discussion are applicable to women and men of all ages and walks of life.Read the full episode show notes at <a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-ellen-langer-using-your-mind-to-control-your-physical-health-longevity">hubermanlab.com</a>.<h2>Thank you to our sponsors</h2>AG1: <a href="https://drinkag1.com/huberman">https://drinkag1.com/huberman</a>BetterHelp: <a href="https://betterhelp.com/huberman">https://betterhelp.com/huberman</a>Helix Sleep: <a href="https://helixsleep.com/huberman">https://helixsleep.com/huberman</a>Joovv: <a href="https://joovv.com/huberman">https://joovv.com/huberman</a>Function: <a href="https://functionhealth.com/huberman">https://functionhealth.com/huberman</a>Our Place: <a href="https://fromourplace.com/huberman">https://fromourplace.com/huberman</a><h2>Timestamps</h2>00:00:00 Dr. Ellen Langer00:02:57 Mindfulness00:06:53 Mindless, Focus; Being Mindful00:11:03 Sponsors: BetterHelp & Helix Sleep00:13:41 Meditation00:14:47 Choices & Longer Life; Mind & Body Unity, Exercise, Nocebo & Placebo Effect00:25:39 Self, Mind-Body Interconnectedness00:32:16 Acupuncture; Cancer & Healing, Probabilities, Tool: Tragedy or Inconvenience?00:42:18 Sponsors: AG1 & Joovv00:44:46 Brain & Predictions, Control & Mindlessness; Resolutions00:48:09 &#x201C;Should&#x201D; Thoughts, Multitasking, Making Moments Matter, Work-Life Balance00:56:55 Sleep, Stress, Tool: Perceived Sleep & Performance01:01:58 Counterclockwise Study01:06:15 Pioneering a Field, Change, Decisions & Uncertainty01:16:47 Sponsor: Function01:18:35 Making Sense of Behavior, Forgiveness, Blame01:25:35 Technology, Human Drive; Tool: Noticing & Appreciating New Things01:32:50 Art, Mindfulness, Education, Awards01:39:30 Labels, Borderline Effect; Identity, &#x201C;I Am&#x201D;, Learning & Age01:49:44 Sponsor: Our Place01:50:56 Memory Loss, Vision; Chronic Disease, Symptom Variability02:01:22 Deadlines, Constraints; Scientific Method & Absolutes02:06:47 Covid Crisis, Vaccines, Uncertainty, Multiple Answers02:12:06 Age & Decline?, Experience Levels & &#x201C;Disinhibited&#x201D;02:18:18 Justice, Drama; Life-Changing Events & Perspective02:25:45 Death, Spontaneous Cancer Remission; Will to Live 02:31:59 Mindful Hospital, Stress, Burnout, Tool: Mindful Checklist02:36:32 Noticing, Choices02:41:16 Coddling, Fragility, Social Media, Money02:48:26 Tool: Playfulness02:52:08 Nostalgia, Mindfulness; Tool: Gamifying Life; Parenthood & Work02:59:17 Healing & Time Perception, Awareness & Neuroplasticity, Imagine Possibilities03:07:12 Reviews & Critical Feedback, Others&#x2019; Opinions03:12:00 Enlightenment, Flexibility, Expansiveness; Everyone Song03:19:47 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter<a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/disclaimer">Disclaimer & Disclosures</a>
