Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
It is becoming increasingly recognized in the literature that ancient practices for wellbeing, including meditation, yoga, and specific herbs, can improve health and promote longevity. While studies have documented such effects for a variety of individual practices for wellbeing, few studies have taken a more whole systems approach that is simultaneously inclusive of numerous practices. This intervention study, the "Self-Directed Biological Transformation Initiative", will examine the effects of a comprehensive whole systems approach to wellbeing on key biochemical, physiological, and psychosocial endpoints. Participants randomized to the Perfect Health program at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing will be compared to individuals not taking the program.
