Steven Kotler (speaking in Joe Polish's YouTube video “The therapy you haven't tried yet”) argues that the psychological state of flow produces peak cognitive and physical performance and has beneficial effects on the immune system by reducing stress hormones. The speaker cites research attributed to Kurt Benson at Harvard (1990s) indicating that entering flow lowers stress hormones; Kotler further asserts that flow can restore homeostasis and makes broad claims linking flow to improvements in autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease recovery.
