Placebo: How to make your own soul medicine - Lian Brook-Tyler

Wild Sovereign Soul co-founder, Lian Brook-Tyler, explains what the placebo effect actually is, why the science is more radical than most people realise, and how to consciously build your own healing response using it. This episode is Lian’s All The Everything show… her solo space where she dives deeply into a theme that is alive for her, which, if you know her, could be literally anything - explored through the lenses of science, spirituality and story - hence the name of the show! It is created for those who feel called toward a soulful life shaped by meaning, depth, truth, and love… for those who feel unsatisfied with quick answers or surface level takes. This is a rich rabbit hole that Lian journeys through alongside you. She speaks from her own lived experience and unfolding process… while inviting you into your own as you listen. In this episode, Lian moves through the science, the evolutionary context, and the shamanic architecture that underlies the placebo effect, sharing the studies that show belief produces measurable changes in brain chemistry, exploring the nocebo effect and the cultural signals most of us have absorbed without realising, and explaining why open-label placebo research changes everything about what conscious intention can actually do. She also shares the open-label placebo she built for herself and walks through exactly how to build your own, through the lens of Wild, Sovereign, and Soul. Listen if you've ever sensed that what you believe about your body is shaping it, but had no idea how to use that deliberately. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show.
