Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable.
56. Rewiring the Mind for Healing with Clinical Hypnotherapist Garry Coles
When you think of hypnosis, cancer treatment probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, but after this episode, it just might be.
This week on Everyday Epigenetics, Susan sits down with clinical hypnotherapist Garry Coles, who’s spent over 20 years working in the fascinating field of hypno-oncology, helping cancer patients improve outcomes, reduce side effects, and rewire their mindset for healing through the power of the subconscious.
What started as skepticism turned into groundbreaking research, hospital partnerships, and over 2,500 patient journeys supported by Garry’s work. Whether you’re a science nerd or a total newbie to hypnotherapy, this conversation will open your mind to what’s possible when we treat the mind and body as part of the same healing system.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How one hypnotherapy session cured Garry’s lifelong nightmares (and sparked his new career)
- What hypno-oncology really is, and how it helps before, during, and after cancer treatment
The surprising impact of pre-surgery hypnosis on pain perception, recovery speed, and medication use - What psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) means, and how emotions literally affect your immune system
- Why “self-fulfilling prophecies” can make or break your healing
- Real stories of patients who went from devastation to empowerment (and even triathlons!)
