Biopsychical

/ˌbaɪoʊˈsaɪkɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the relationship and interaction between biological systems and psychological processes in living organisms.

Etymology

From 'bio-' (life) + 'psychical' (from Greek psyche, mind/soul). The '-al' suffix creates a more formal adjective form emphasizing the philosophical or theoretical aspects of mind-body connection.

Kelly Says

The biopsychical reality is that your gut bacteria influence your mood, your mood influences your immune system, and your immune system fights infections—it's all one system pretending to be separate.
