Essentials: Using Hypnosis to Enhance Mental & Physical Health & Performance | Dr. David Spiegel

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. David
Spiegel, MD, the Associate Chair of Psychiatry & Behavioral
Sciences, Director of the Center on Stress and Health, and Director
of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University
School of Medicine. We discuss the science and clinical
applications of hypnosis, including how hypnosis works in the
brain. We examine the evidence-based uses of clinical and
self-hypnosis for pain, trauma, phobias, sleep and stress, and
explain how to gauge your own level of "hypnotizability." We also
outline practical ways to access these tools, from working with a
trained clinician to using structured self-hypnosis protocols.
