LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine discuss the little-known but very real “nocebo effect” as it relates to heart health in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series.

Deutsch, a biochemist who poses an interesting theory about why people who fear getting a heart attack or death from consuming saturated fat and cholesterol are sealing their own fate: www.lewrockwell.com You may have heard of the “placebo effect” where a non-medicinal treatment like a sugar pill is used to help “cure” someone of a particular ailment simply because they believed it would. But a “nocebo effect” is when you think something is going to harm you so much that it actually does because of your strong belief that it will. Sounds like a bunch of hocus pocus mind games, but scientific research has shown this to be a very real phenomenon.

Is the worry about these things bringing so much stress on our bodies that we are living a self-fulfilling prophecy when we concern ourselves about them? It’s an interesting thing to think about in light of the ongoing fat phobia that still exists today. Special thanks to Dr. Deutsch for the conversation …

Kinda scary when you stop and think about it, though. How many people are walking around in fear of something and it’s the fear that’s causing them the problems. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was spot on and prophetic when he uttered his famous phrase, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
