Dr. Joe Dispenza is an American author and speaker known for his work blending neuroscience, epigenetics, and meditation practices into a framework for personal transformation. He rose to wider recognition following his appearance in the 2004 film What the Bleep Do We Know!?, and went on to build a following with books including Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, You Are the Placebo, and Becoming Supernatural. A chiropractor by training, he describes his approach as combining scientific research with meditation techniques to help people change ingrained thought patterns and behaviors, and has led meditation workshops and retreats worldwide. His work draws heavily on his own account of recovering from a serious spinal injury without surgery, which he cites as foundational to his interest in the mind's role in healing. Dispenza's teachings on meditation, neuroplasticity, and mindset remain widely read within the self-help and mind-body wellness space, continuing to attract readers interested in personal transformation.
