when words make you sick. So Charlotte, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to everyone. Ricardo, it's it's fantastic to be here at last. Thanks for having me.
Great. So okay, so we're going to talk about the nocebo effect, but just before that, I would like to ask you a little bit about the placebo effect. So what is it? The placebo effect is the better known of these two effects and it is the response that happens as a result of patients expecting to feel better. So as a result of expecting to feel better, they actually do experience positive health benefits.
