Can laughter really act like medicine—and even spark remission?

In this episode of Renegade Remission, we dive into the remarkable story of Norman Cousins, a journalist who used laughter, joy, and positive emotion to help heal from a crippling connective tissue disease. His radical experiment—treating laughter like medicine—helped spark the field of psychoneuroimmunology and reshaped how scientists understand the link between mind, body, and healing, and now you can use it yourself.

You’ll discover:

Why Cousins’ nightly laughter sessions brought him pain relief and measurable reductions in inflammation.
How modern research validates laughter’s impact on immunity, stress hormones, and healing.
Practical ways to schedule joy, build laughter rituals, and track how positive emotions shift your own health.
Tune in now to explore how Norman Cousins’ story proves that joy is not a luxury—it’s a healing tool your body is wired to use.
