You Don't Get What You Want. You Get What You Believe (The Placebo Effect)

Is manifestation real, or just another pop-culture fad sold on vision boards and wishful thinking?

In this episode, Roger and Tracy go beyond manifestation to the science of belief, with research and real stories that will challenge everything you've been told about your health and your body. Genetic determinism is a lie, and once you understand the power of your beliefs, you'll never look at your health, your relationships, or your life the same way again.
