Doctor’s Orders: Laugh
Laughter regulates the body, resets the mind, and interrupts the loops that keep us stuck. This week's Pulse is a simple prescription: find something that makes you laugh and commit to it fully.
Laughter May Just Be the Best Medicine
Laughter is not avoidance. It is one of the most grounded, human things we can do, and one of the most underestimated tools in healing. In this Field Notes, John Moos, MD explores why levity is not a retreat from life's weight but a way of bearing it, what the research says about laughter and longevity, and what a single moment in a clinical session revealed about joy, perspective, and the freedom that comes when we stop taking ourselves so seriously.
