At UnabridgedMD, we explore the powerful connection between mindset and healing. Inspired by the famous Counterclockwise Study, this blog reveals how shifting your perspective can support remission and improve outcomes for chronic and rheumatologic conditions—reminding us that healing is about more than just medicine.

Healing isn’t just protocols and lab results—it’s also the words we use, the beliefs we hold, and the state of our nervous system. In this piece, we explore how expectation, relationship, and simple mind–body practices can support evidence-based rheumatology care. Learn practical ways to engage the “hidden side” of healing—so medicine and mindset work together to reduce stress, protect joints, and restore hope. UnabridgedMD | Denver + Boulder + Telehealth.

Healing isn’t a solo sport—it’s a team endeavor. Supportive groups can lower pain, reduce flares, and help you stick with the habits that lead to remission. In this post, Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains the science behind group healing—from parasympathetic activation and mirror neurons to the patient–physician alliance—and how to put it into practice with simple, evidence‑based steps.
