In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Noonan Gores, creator of the groundbreaking documentary and book Heal. We talk about the deep connection between the mind, body, and spirit - and how science is beginning to validate what ancient traditions have known for centuries. From the role of the subconscious in healing to the transformative power of belief, Kelly offers powerful insights for anyone navigating chronic illness, trauma, or burnout. We also explore the practices that have been most transformative in her own life, from meditation and breathwork to shifting limiting beliefs. If you’ve ever wondered how mindset, spirituality, and science work together in healing, this conversation will inspire you to see your health in a whole new way.
A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode:
- Kelly’s personal journey from Hollywood to healing
- The making of Heal and what surprised her most during filming
- How belief systems impact health outcomes
