I agree with her message. Your reality begins between your ears. I'm always amazed at the negative attitudes that are expressed in online comments. Some people are just too beaten up and afraid of life that they have to try to drag down others to their level. I feel that Lissa is brave to share her perspective so publicly. For those who see it as an attitude that only the rich and famous can enjoy I have one question. What are you doing today to raise yourself up to a higher standard of living? Now start by loving yourself and those around you. Be Optimistic and grateful. Learn something each day and make a plan, make it happen.

"It's time to stop doing what you should, and start doing what you feel" - great job Lissa

Lissa, as a massage therapist, I have know about the mind-body connection for 20 years but they way you put it has made me re-think my philosophies.

I find it very hard in today’s modern world to find meaningful work and meaningful connection with others. Being an introvert makes matters worse, it’s like climbing a mountain to get these essential things. Lacking the correct psychological environment has resulted in me developing higher levels of discomfort in my body and poorer healing. I’m sure there are plenty other people out there who share my conundrum. For things to get better for most of us, we need a new kind of economic system with healthier values and less consumption for material status. I recommend people look up Structural violence on google

Your first sentence is interesting as it seems as though those are things that you can control. You can control where you work and what you do. Meaningful work is on you, there are things in todays world that actually make it easier for an introvert to reach out to others, without even leaving your house. Such as youtube or streaming. Instead of searching for something on google that you think causes your problem, search for something that fixes your problem. Connecting with others I have found recently has changed my attitude and almost instantly I felt better after I found a friend I can travel and do things with. I am introverted and not very social but recently have made an effort to go out and connect with people and let me tell you It is amazing how much better I feel and am much less depressed. Just some thoughts

Most importantly, developing a positive mindset. You are what you think you are. Change your mindset and you can change your life.

I am a Korean author who currently reading your book MIND OVER MEDICINE which i stumbled across at a community library 🙃 i really love your book and i feel so exciting to read more cause it represents my opinion!! Thanks 😊

Finally, someone gets it. What a breath of fresh air. Best video ever!

She is a pioneer. I'm so glad people are discovering the mind body connection. Stress affects your body. You can get high blood pressure, ulcer, migraine, under stress.. Why can't people get it?! It's so obvious. Sickness and disease is your body telling you something needs to change. LOVE her! Guess what... The world isn't flat.. And you are sick because your soul isn't happy.

+Two Scoops I agree, that it is common knowledge that stress kills. HOWEVER, her important points are that 1. YOU have the power within you to heal yourself, that's the placebo effect, Christ consciousness, the law of attraction. 2. YOUR emotional health is the most important thing and your body whispers to you when you need to release or process emotion. 3. Human connection heals. So there you go. Yes people have been saying these things since the beginning of time.. And other cultures get that. But in the Western medical field, this is shunned and discredited. Not to mention... People are very regularly here looking for the easy way out. Pills work.. Right?

I finally had a chance to read through a lot of these comments- and I just want to say I'm so delighted this talk has stimulated such spirited conversation! That is my goal- to get people- especially those in the medical establishment- to start talking about all this, and to open our minds. Raising consciousness is the first step to healing health care- so thank you for sharing this talk and being part of the change.

Jesus, and I thought I had it rough.... *Great big warm loving hugs to you Lissa, you brave strong woman!!*

I have to say it’s a little refreshing to find a health video that doesn’t just focus on physical health, but rather mental health. I do feel as though many a quick to dismiss mental health issues, mostly because there is a huge stigma against it, but also because many feel as though it doesn’t fit their situation. The truth of the matter is you can eat as healthy as you want, exercise regularly, go to the doctor for checkups and do all of the “right things” but if you are ignoring your mental health, none of the other things matter. Many feel trapped in their situations, but you don’t have to be. It is all about perspective. You don’t have to have a lot of money or options in order to change your situation you just need to have a positive mindset. You are always going to be happy if you continue to tell yourself you have no options. I may not be an expert, but I have suffered from depression, and I have gone through long periods of unhappiness feeling like I was trapped in this world with no escape. I have spent nights awake in bed wondering if any of it is actually worth it, only holding on for the sake of my family. I won’t lie, sometimes I still have troubles, but I’m working through them and I am doing so by taking a few moments out of every day to make a short list of what makes me happy and by taking a few moments to step outside and breath. You need to take time for yourself and if you don’t feel like you have the time in your day for that then you need to make time. You will always have at least five minutes to slow yourself down and reflect. You don’t always have to take some form of medication for what’s bothering you, although if you do there’s most certainly nothing wrong with that. You are as strong as you make yourself out to be and there is no force in this world stronger than your own mind. The message that Dr. Rankin is trying to get across is a very powerful one. Your mind is a tool. Use it, find out what makes you happy, and free yourself.

truth. I was in a very toxic relationship and I felt the responsibility to continue it for years. I developed cfs and fibromyalgia, was completely debilitated for years. left the relationship, a year and a half later symptoms began to reverse themselves. the work to get better was just as equally as it was physically. I'm better though.

This is what people don't get, you have to except life wholly, always!! Life consist of 3 major aspects that is mental, physical and spiritual and the reason why we continuously bump into issues with our body or lifestyle is because society or science always disregards the spiritual. We don't learn it in school or any institution for that matter. But you will always fall short or run into a problem if you disregard anyone of these aspects. You have to have and accept all of these aspects to lead the most healthiest fulfilling life possible. Neither can you only accept the physical and spiritual and disregard the mental, or spiritual and mental and disregard the physical. All three together are most essential and vital!!!!

I Love this talk enormously Lady Lissa & will make sure that it gets shared on all the platforms I `m active :).As an educated clinical psychologist, as well as a professional astrologer ,I`ve had my share of collegues who are afraid to admit that the power of our mind & heart is what really excites health or illnes. I` ve written my own prescriptions for life as well. All I truly need is freedom of expression & lots of friends to Celebrate Life & Love with. Thank You, I am fully with you !

Thankyou for the beautiful insight. In a world which is soo caught up looking good, working harder, to be perfect in everything we do.. its a breather to know we have a life too, a body, a mind and a soul to nourish

The older I get, the stronger, smarter, and better health I've gained, and it's ALL because of the spiritual or listening to the intuitive center that actually guides all. 80 to 90% of people will end up living frustrated lives because they are not living an authentic life. Most live a life predetermined by the extrinsic: parents, teachers, peers, society, money, pride, or ego. Once you let go of these things and find the true joy and beauty of who you are, then and ONLY then do you actualize. Most of us know early and often who we are, yet we listen to so many outside sources that we forget our guidance is ALL inside us, the intrinsic, and nowhere else. You need to become a guru of you and you can ALL do it. Be of the minority and maximize, actualize be honest, be true, be brave and do YOU.

Her warning about ignoring the whispers of the body is an excellent one. Even without lots of resources, people can change things such as mold at home, bad stuff in their diet, etc... good stuff here. Though I wish she'd focus a bit on things that can be changed without resources such as food and home environment. Good thing is she discusses the fact that prescriptions didn't help her

Great Ted Talk! I like this because it validates so many of the issues we have today. I meet people everyday that have checked out of life. Sometimes it's just talking to someone else about your problems and you realize you are not the only one going through a crisis. I realized this when caring for my parents. There has to be a balance of all things in life.

Thank you Lissa. I feel the truth of your words on a deep level. So wonderful to know that people like you are out there practicing and educating the world.

Thank you Lissa for being here! I am { a Massage Practioner} and have found over the many years that my clients that see me the most are the clients that I give the most love and attention to. Oddly enough TALKING during a session usally isn`t the norm but when I gave that up for them and let them chat {under the comfort of my hands} they returned often. I was never a highly knowlegable therapist but turned out be be very sucessful in my field, evening starting at student clinic when I was in school {18 years ago}. I just felt the love come through me for them and to give them my full presence\present was the best service/therapy I could give. ~*~

Dear Morpheus X - Please don't say "I can summarize" when in fact you have missed the point. This is NOT about mental health. What she is saying is if you have symptoms of illness, these will have a root cause in the way you are living your life. Does your job stress you? Are you in an unhappy relationship? Are you eating the wrong food? Don't go to your doctor wanting a pill to stop the headaches / stomach aches / high blood pressure / back ache etc that you are experiencing. Heal yourself by putting right whatever is wrong in your life. I wish you health and happiness.

What she says rings true to me, even if I too am a very scientific person that doesn't favor "spiritual" concepts first. If it works, it works. I resonate with what she has said here. Probably the best gift you can give to yourself is caring about yourself. It's something we should all know how to do, but many struggle to do anyway.

She is so right in expressing how the spiritual connection makes a big difference in living life naturally without allowing it to be exploited by desire driven make believe world of some selfish people. The most important observation is she has the daring courage to be honest that must be recognized and appreciated. Keep up Lissa Rankin! you are what you are unlike many who are their masks as you rightly noticed.

A beautiful talk from a very wise doctor. I love that she is helping me see what needs to change in my life so I can begin the journey to real health and happiness. Thank you 😊🙏🏻🌸

I think she has good points about how lifestyle and stress etc can affect your overall health.... But it's hard to take her seriously with all the melodrama

Looking through the comments, it's an interesting thing that this video seems to piss a lot of people off. . .I find the simplest stuff is the most irritating / "inconvenient" (but good because it has me look inwardly or stuff I don't even want to look at because it can be brutal to open up that can of worms and really "inconvenient feelings / emotions" and life implications). This is kind of like the pink elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about and it's kind of ironic and bizarre that we're not hearing this sort of thing all the time. . .which is really a reflection of the level of consciousness of our society / world. Any health care professional watching this video this will have a part of them recognize certain elements of truths behind it (although might be easier to just block this out). . .I know from personal experience working as a health practitioner that there are so many people that get better but who don't get completely better no matter what dietary regime (raw foods, whole foods, juicing) allopathic / Western medicine treatment, naturopathic treatment, medicinal herbs, energy healing, etc, etc. that gets recommend to them. . . I know a lot of people who have tried pretty much everything - Eastern, Western and pretty much any modality of treatment you can think of (as almost as if it's a distraction from confronting an area of life that they don't want to look at - i.e. something that is not being communicated in a relationship, leaving an unhealthy work situation, telling the truth about something in life, etc.). Acknowledging this is a total bitch because it puts in question so many fundamental belief systems around health. I don't know about her stuff with the "cairns" and how effective is the way she works with people because I haven't done it so don't have any opinion there . . . but at least for the first part, I think medical practitioners would learn a lot from sharing this video with some clients (when appropriate) and having more in-depth conversations with patients about what's going on in their lives (versus just compartmentalizing health - and going right on to the "treatment" part of the deal . . . it would seem that a lot of times, someone just needs to be fully heard and loved and the problem disappears by itself or in other ways (that doesn't require medical intervention).

For us, psychologists, all those things are obvious and the research papers have been there for at least 30 years. I respect the speaker, but she didn't say anything new enough or novel enough for a TED talk. In fact, Positive Psychology has been studying the things that enhance general health instead of just diagnosing disorders for quite some time. So the real value of this talk, in my opinion, is its motivational aspect.

I really resonated with what you were saying! When you were asking the audience what's MOST important, I kept saying "your thinking!!!" My friend Dr M.T. Morter Jr has done over 35 years of research on how our negative thoughts & experiences get "trapped' in our bodies and create physical symptoms & disease The more people start to realize this, the healthier we will all be :) So thank you for spreading the word :)

All those annoyed by the message are only hurting themselves. I'll be sending good vibes your way!

Lissa has done a great job of identifying what causes poor health and sickness and the role of nurturing care required for curing and healing! This understanding will help us maintain good health for most of our life!

It was a difficult journey but I've learned more in a relatively short period of time, how to be a healthier, happier human being. As a vegan I feel as if I am supporting my body the best way I know but the most important lesson I learned was to feed my soul. I let go of a lot of material and emotional trappings and now I'm happier than ever. Thank you

Yes, I agree that all aspects of your life are important to the quality of it, be it physical, mental or emotional, but not having one or some of those healthy things going on, is also paradoxically I think, quite good for you to experience in order to appreciate them. Growing in all aspects is what life is all about!

Ayurveda says that illness unfolds in 6 stages. The Chopra center teaches that western medicine is essential at stages 5 & 6. This video is about stages 1 - 4. Exactly right!

Really love this lady's speech. So heartfelt and important to so many people :)

An old Biblical proverb "A Merry Heart Does good, like a medicine" After listening to this I would have to say it probably originally meant "A Merry Heart is Good Medicine"

Good timing for this to show up for me today! Thank you for this timely talk, and bless you.

I have been where she is talking about. It took me 2 knee replacement surgeries to get me to slow down and realize what was going on. My body was telling me to stop and listen... so I did. I retired, go over the knee surgeries and I got over "me'". I been getting healthier ever since.

Speaking of lovingkindness and the love of the heart!

This is stuff that I've figured out relatively young in life. I see people that see the doctors non-stop yet never get better. I've seen people who do everything healthy fall apart one day because their body gives out. It's clear that the more mentally sound you are the healthier you'll be. That being said I do not see someone onstage who is what she preaches. She didn't seem relaxed at all and her explanations seemed superficial. I think there are clear mind body connections that we cannot even hope to understand with our current model of physics. I'm sure if we had a truly deep understanding of how the universe works we could fully understand the body and life in general. That being said I hate how so many of these holistic healers are acting like they have all the answers. I've learned a lot personally by stepping out of proven science and observing the fringe of what we know. It does not mean that I accept any of it as fact, nor do I try to push my ideas on others. I consider our knowledge to be fledgling at best and we are far from understanding it all. People like this too me are no better than the doctors she criticisms. Prove that there is a mechanism at play and we can name it. Until then it is speculation that COULD be truthful, but just as easily could not be. It really comes down to a gray area that most people can't seem to tread on. Take a look around KZread and everyone talks in absolutes and "full truth". The rest of the world is the same as this little virtual one. People can't deal with not having an answer. That's why religions are the way the are and people come up with the craziest explanations for things. The lack of knowing is the true enemy. We need to realize that we are all fools trying to make sense of a incredibly complex universe and we need to take it one step at a time. Regardless there is still an important message here, so even if the messenger is crazy, it shouldn't dilute the message.

Perception and interaction. Self judgement. And a sense of adventure and creativity. Last of all, and arguably the most important, appreciation.

This is honestly the TED video that I feel I learned the most from. Even though it doesn't come with any fancy-ass research :)

Finding balance, Thank you!!!!!

This speech is so awesome! It captures perfectly my drive toward truly LIVING my life! No more mindless SLEEP-WALKING!

Here's how Lissa is getting so many testimonials from doctors. (Following is from her web site.) "You do not have to be actively practicing as a physician, although we will be asking you for a medical license to ensure that you are, indeed, a physician." The testimonials she highlights are from physicians who aren't practicing or seeing patients.

a mind-blowing moment @ 6:33 "They say when your life falls apart, you either grow, or you grow a tumor."

I hope Lissa does not read some of these hurtful, meaningless, uncaring, judgmental comments. If she does, I hope she's unaffected by them. Stop the personal attacks and appreciate the message.

"You either grow, or grow a tumor" or in my case, grow 6 sizes.

Felicitaciones Lissa, eres un ejemplo a seguir....!

This is a very nice perspective of looking at health. Not just physical health, but mental, spiritual, financial, and etc. I have heard in many cases and readings where people feel as if something is wrong with them, they know that something is wrong and feeling various of symptoms yet all of the tests and evaluations come back normal. Even though this is something that may feel as if it common sense, a lot of people assume that if you're sick, you need a pill. Sometimes it is just looking at our jobs, our relationships, spiritual connections, families, and that just needs to be in balance, though I find it difficult to keep all of these in balance and once and may find it impossible. Holistic health is practiced in other places in the world (China, India, etc.) but not so much here in the United States, so this video is a very nice format and giving people the edge to look into these sort of issues and because you can be doing everything right for your body (eating well, exercising, listening to your doctor), but outside forces can almost make some of that not matter. But your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

everyone should follow this philosophy, the sooner i really practise this philosophy the better

But the crisis in health care - or at least health care in the United States - is that people aren't getting "root cause treatment" for their ailments. Period. Pain killers and mood stabilizers are treatments for symptoms, but not the root cause of those symptoms. And that keeps the patient coming back and only getting sicker. And the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies reap the profits from that continued attendance. Doctors are now contractors, "providers" who can be fired for simply not conforming to the quota-based system behind insurance driven healthcare. They have to see X number of patients per day. They have to delay treatment for those that can wait a few more premium payments down the road. And if the patient dies before they can get treatment, well then nobody's keeping tabs on medical outcomes in the healthcare industry anyway. The only answer to this crisis is universal healthcare where (a) doctors have tenure (and thus don't have to worry about being fired (unless of course they commit gross malpractice), and therefore don't have to worry about milking the system to prepare for that contingency), (b) insurance companies are removed from the equation, along with their profit motives, and (c) the cost of medical procedures, supplies, and prescriptions comes down as a result. Today doctors that have the proper skills and education are still having to spend time covering up for their incompetent cohorts. In California, the insurance companies convinced voters to reject a bill lifting the MICRA limits for malpractice awards, because (they said) it would cause healthcare insurance to increase and/or cause doctors to leave the state. Yet this wasn't enough protection, as they now all simultaneously require an arbitration agreement signed before providers will even see you to begin with. What kind of care can be obtained when the doctor-patient relationship begins on the basis of a legal position in a potential unforeseen lawsuit? I didn't think so. So what Dr Rankin says about lifestyles is true, however it isn't the whole story (although I find it ironic that she points a finger at patients' lifestyles, when her own lifestyle (as she says) consisted of a beach front home, a vacation home, a boat in the harbor, and a growing retirement nest egg).

+Tara Thysell Universal healthcare may be the answer but that leads to pharmaceutical, insurance, & healthcare giants. Or just one giant. We know the sludge & bureaucracy that invades healthcare now, imagine the disconnect that patients & dr's will have when their relationship is not only built on a litigational foundation, like u say, but also universal criteria for disease rates & standards for care. I have a feeling the gov't will think the cure for these diseases will be in pill form & not in diet/lifestyle which we know is the cause/prevention/cure for most disease.

I still think the underlying problem is tenure. Give highly educated doctors tenure and a pension, and they start behaving rational again. No need to protect anybody for fear of losing your job. Most people want to do the right thing. The current system just doesn't allow them to. The other alternative is to make it easier to identify malpractice and sue doctors. However, that drives up the cost and is more a second order solution.

We should be able to mimick France's healthcare system - which to my knowledge doesn't experience the issues you mention - at a cost cheaper than what we have now.

A government healthcare system would have the motivation to keep it's citizens healthy. If doctors have tenure and pension, then they're happy, and real medicine begins to be practiced, and medical discoveries begin to happen at a faster pace, instead of time spent delaying or hiding from a diagnosis.

Today, if you have a medical problem that is chronic and undiagnosed, you are more likely to be pushed around, and made to feel like the perpetrator against the holier than thou medical establishment.

Health is so important. Diet, exercise and general well - being is essential, and it's time everyone took ownership of their own health.

On behalf of Independent Research, Interactive, Exchangeable Social Cultural Education, worldwide (Eastern and Western Health Care), I do appreciate Dr. Lissa Rankin, M.D for Valuable mindful lecture to Public Consumers.

"Inner Pilot Light (17:59)" = "The kingdom of heaven is within you" -Jesus

This lecture is a series of banal truths presented as revelatory and ground-breaking. The lecturer had a set of skewed values, came of age and started to pursue the classic virtues of the good life. My Brazilian mother-in-law (who never went to school and has lived on a farm in abject poverty) lives out these basic, health-inducing values - as do countless millions of others. All of the great religious traditions teach them, as do the great philosophers. It's sad that in our disoriented age, the person with common sense is a sage worthy of a TED Talk.

Until we can learn to take charge of our own inner states and stop being negative ie toxic? All of us have values which are skewed. What could be higher priority than learning how to avoid the wear-and-tear of our own negative states? I'd say there's something not quite right about your summary dismissal of the speaker and the not-so-banal Truths she's quietly and through proof of irrefutable heartwrenching experience stumbled upon.

I agree with Lissa very much. Makes a lot of sense. I read her book: "Mind Over Medicine," very informative. Thanks for sharing your story Lissa.

Thanks very much Lissa for your nice talk speaking so clear about the really health. Regards and good lock

your body my body everybody move your body

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO, beautiful person. for all the haters here.. take a look at yourself.

The best introduction how to understand our health - and take our responsibility, Thanks

So I thought integrated medicine was the answer and I joined an integrated medicine practice.What I learnt here nobody taught, like healthy relationship, creativity, being spiritual connected. Your body is never gonna get well until you heal that. It is caring of mind, caring oh heart, caring of soul. Tapping into what I call your inner pilot light, that authentic, deep, true part of you,that divine spark that always knows what is right for you. You born with it, it goes with you when you die and it always know the truth about you and your body. It comes to you and whispers, it is your intuition and that is the biggest healer you can tap into, better than any medicine, better than any doctor.
