Dr. Schechter Podcast on the Mind-Body Connection

I wanted to give you a link to a podcast that Dr. David Schechter did with the DrunkenTaoist in which he discussed the Mind-Body Connection.

Here's a direct link to the audio. I'd skip the first 11 minutes because Dr. Schechter doesn't come on until 11:02. Also, the interviewer does swear and the podcast starts off with him swearing.
