Kelly Noonan Gores Focuses on the Mind-Body Connection in “Heal” Documentary
Kelly Noonan Gores takes viewers inside the connection between our bodies and minds with her new critically-acclaimed documentary “Heal.” She sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith at Cheddar’s WeWork studio in Los Angeles to discuss the spiritual journey people take to become healthy, and to rid the body of stressors that can cause illness.
Through interviews with such luminaries as Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, and Anita Moorjani, the film highlights the relationship between spirituality and science, and how we have more control over our health than we have been taught to believe. Noonan Gores explains that more than 133 million people are living with chronic illnesses due to stress.
She says she learned from making this documentary that everything that happens in our bodies is connected to - and often begins with - our minds. “Heal” is currently trending as the # 1 top-selling documentary on iTunes.
