Dr. Joe Dispenza

A New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe Dispenza has developed a practical formula to help people transform their lives.

Dr Joe’s mission unifies complex branches of science in an approachable way – focused on proven research, “Stories of Transformation” testimonials, and the scientific data behind spontaneous remissions. Inspired by the latest findings in neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, epigenetics, and quantum physics, his work integrates essential knowledge about the mind-body connection – which teaches people how to heal various health conditions and make significant changes in their lives.

Since 2010, he has partnered with renowned scientists and universities – including University of California San Diego, Harvard University, Stanford University, and others – to perform extensive research on the effects of meditation on the brain and body.

During research studies conducted at his seven-day advanced retreats around the world, Dr Joe and his team have gathered more than 20,000 brain scans (quantitative QEEG and fMRI) and more than 10,000 heart-rate variability (HRV) measurements. Their findings demonstrate the effects of sustained, elevated states of mind and emotions – and how self-regulation produces significant effects on heart and brain function, immune response, and overall mind-body health.

Working with thousands of novice and advanced meditators in these studies, Dr Joe and his team have analyzed a database of 3,000 blood metabolites collected before and after the retreats. Using pre- and post-samples, they have studied epigenetic and microbiome changes, a gross spectrum of urine metabolites, and the healing effects of breast milk.
