The placebo effect is a perplexingly persistent piece to the puzzle of health.
The gold standard of health science is double-blinded, placebo-controlled human clinical trials. If a health supplement or drug statistically and consistently outperforms placebos in studies then it’s likely worth trying to empower your mind and body or overcome health challenges. But the placebo effect is more complicated and promising than that, this article will delve into some of the fascinating science done on the placebo effect itself and the implications for your biohacking efforts.
