Martin Picard, PhD, Head of the Mitochondrial PsychoBiology Lab at Columbia University, joins us to explore the fascinating connection between the mind, mitochondria, and human health. He shares how our experiences may shape our biology, why mitochondria could serve as a bridge between mind and body, and his vision for a new science of healing.
Martin Picard, PhD, is Head of the Mitochondrial PsychoBiology Lab at Columbia University, where his research explores the connection between the mind, mitochondria, and the energy that sustains life.
He joined us for a conversation about what first inspired him to investigate why some people heal while others don't, and why he believes mitochondria may serve as a bridge between the immaterial experience of the mind and its physical expression through biochemistry. Drawing on years of research into the mind-body connection, Dr. Picard explores how our life experiences can shape our biology, what science is revealing about the role of energy in human health, and his vision for a new science of healing that brings together biology, energy, and the human experience.
