For years researchers around the world have viewed the brain and body as separate entities, to be treated using different methods and even in different hospitals.

However, recent discoveries have turned this picture on its head. We now know that our brains and immune systems are intimately linked and have a huge influence on each other.

In this episode I speak to Dr Monty Lyman a medical doctor, researcher and author who studies the relationship between the mind and the immune system.

We talk about the latest science he outlines in his book The Immune Mind: The New Science of Health.
