How brain energy sensing may save your life, and a little peek into how academia works
WEEKLY DIGEST
We’re happy to share with you two new posts published this week.
In the first post, Alan Cohen and I explore what happens when we intervene in the body’s innate regulatory mechanisms, focusing on the hormone GDF15. Short-term symptom relief may have potential long-term risks. Does the body have intrinsic energetic wisdom?
The second post takes you behind the scenes of the Science of Health Program at Columbia University. We share with you the backstory for this new program, and how we arrived at thinking about health as emerging from energy, communication, and structure.
Could Blocking Brain Energy Sensing Kill You?
In this post, Martin Picard and Alan Cohen discuss a recently published article about the risks of blocking a body-to-brain energy signaling hormone, GDF15. Here they unpack this idea in a more accessible way.
The Story Behind the Columbia Science of Health Program
In this piece, Alan Cohen and Martin Picard share the story of what it was like to develop the Science of Health Program at Columbia University, and how this led to the new concept of Intrinsic Health they are now trying to measure.
Thanks for reading The Science and Experience of Energy!
Share with someone you love who may be interested in an energetic view of life.
