## Resource

In this episode, we revisit a compelling conversation between hosts Tiffany Cruikshank and Katja Bartsch on the powerful role mindset plays in shaping health outcomes. Through research on the placebo effect, they explore how beliefs about food, exercise, and wellness choices can influence not only behavior but also physiological responses. In fact, the way we think and feel about what we do may be just as important as the actions themselves. This episode offers a fresh perspective on sustainable health, emphasizing awareness, enjoyment, and a more compassionate approach to wellness. "Food really is a medicine. So, how can I feed myself to feel good rather than deprive myself to lose weight?" — Tiffany Cruikshank. — What You'll Learn: Challenging health "rules" with embodied awareness [2:11] The role yoga can play [4:23] Flow-on effects of positivity regarding exercise choices [5:25] Why enjoyment is critical for sustainable health habits [7:39] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Yoga Medicine Episode 3: The Placebo Effect Part 2 — Learn More: Find the full show notes at YogaMedicine.com/podcast-163 Learn more about insider tips, online classes or information on our teacher trainings at YogaMedicine.com .
