We talk to Italian researchers and academics Mauro Cozzolino and Giovanna Celia about their work in mind-body interventions and how they have measured physiological changes as a result of simple therapies, even down to gene expression.
Here are a few things – the papers we discussed and some personal stuff. Plus a TEDx talk form Giovanna – in Italian.
