Logies with alleward is brought to you by progressive insurance. Drivers who save by switching to progressive save over 700 dollars on average. auto customers qualify for an average of seven discounts. I also discuss the narrow science of the placebo effect and how our thoughts can change our behaviors.
Professional gemologist Kelly Sitek talks about adventures in mining, the chemical composition of different gems, breaks down the test taking process for gemology and gives advice on haunted stones. We also spill some tea on cultured pearls and address the psychology and neurological merits of crystals/the placebo effect. Whether you are a staunch skeptic or all about woo-woo, you may end up shoving a crystal down your pants just for good luck. A.k.a. neural top-down control of physiology.
