Why mind-body medicine is evidence-based

Mind-body medicine was once dismissed by many clinicians as vague, unscientific, or overly alternative.

Today, that perception is rapidly changing. Advances in neuroscience, psychology, behavioral medicine, and psychophysiology have produced a growing body of evidence showing that the mind and body are deeply interconnected. Treatments targeting this connection can produce measurable clinical benefits.

Modern research demonstrates that emotional states, attention, stress physiology, and nervous system regulation all influence physical health.
