What if the most powerful tool for healing, happiness, and success isn’t a pill but your mind?

In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Pills, we’re joined by Ravinder Taylor, author, hypnotherapist, and president of Progressive Awareness Research. With over 30 years of experience studying the science behind self-help, Ravinder dismantles common myths in the personal development space and introduces a grounded, research-backed approach to lasting transformation.

We explore the untapped potential of the placebo effect, the surprising truth about self-sabotage, and how optimism can literally extend your life. Ravinder also shares the science behind her latest book, Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment, which is built on over 200 independent studies—and explains how just a few intentional practices can rewire your mind for confidence, clarity, and connection.

Whether you're skeptical of self-help or spiritually curious, this conversation bridges science and soul in a powerful way.

Highlights include:

• Why most self-help advice misses the mark
• The placebo effect as proof of your untapped inner power
• How to uncover (and undo) self-destructive patterns
• Techniques to boost joy, relationship success, and even life expectancy
• The truth about subliminal messaging—and how it really works
