Meditation can change your microbiome, metabolites, and even blood, says Dr. Hemal Patel, a professor and vice-chair for research at the University of California San Diego Department of Anesthesiology. Patel has been at the forefront of studying how meditation creates profound physical changes in the human body. And the COVID-19 pandemic created the perfect testing ground for his research. “We have some interesting findings, where we discovered some factors that meditators elevate that helped to reduce COVID infectivity.” To further his research, Patel’s laboratory was recently awarded a $10 million grant by InnerScience. “The goal that InnerScience and our group ... have is to really make this a core part of the traditional path of medicine,” said Patel. Join Dr. Hemal Patel on Frontline Health as he discusses his amazing research and its impact on human health. ----------- Medical Disclaimer: Frontline Health (the “Show”), its guests, and contributors provide the latest news on health and medical discoveries and it is meant for informational purposes only.
