A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD arguing that common beliefs about food safety and healthfulness are illusory and proposing that a person's mental state (via a placebo-like effect) may influence how nourishing food feels or acts. The speaker suggests belief/relaxed expectation could make even non-organic food produce perceived nourishment.
There's an illusion that the government's got our back, food wise. There's an illusion that everything we're eating that's we're told fits the categories is healthy, right? It's just not true. So that's why I'm like, let's, let's take a step back and maybe what the focus should be is what is the state I'm in while I'm eating anything? Because there is, okay, placebo effect is a real thing, right? So if placebo effect is real, then that means technically I could eat something that's non organic. And as long as I'm in a state of like, this food is going to nourish me and I'm focusing on that relaxed state and that energetic belief that all I'm going to get from this food is goodness and nourishment and not toxins and this or that or fear, then it possibly will give me what I believe it's going to give me.
