Three Interconnected Brains
- The body contains three interconnected brains: head, heart, and gut, all exchanging information and affecting behavior.
- When these brains synchronize you gain resilience; when they don't, lifestyle factors drive dysfunction.
Painless Surgery Via Brain State
- Patrick described painless shoulder surgery done without anesthetic using hypnosis and altered brain states.
- He reported no pain and faster healing after using hypnotic techniques.
