Episode 3:

Featuring Asya Rolls, Neuroimmunologist

In this episode we get curious about our immunity and how our emotions and thoughts affect our physical health. It makes sense that if we are stressed our bodies are less able to fight off disease but today we dive into the science behind that and discuss the research of the placebo effect which pays attention to a more holistic point of view within the medical trials.

To join me in this virtual conversation from Israel, is Asya Rolls, who is an Israeli psychoneuroimmunologist and International Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. She’s also a Professor at the Immunology and Center of Neuroscience at Technion within the Israel Institute of Technology.
