About the author
Dr. Bradley Nelson is an American chiropractor and author best known for developing the Emotion Code and Body Code systems of energy-based self-healing. His book The Emotion Code, revised and expanded in 2019, argues that unresolved emotional experiences are stored in the body as trapped emotions and offers a method for identifying and releasing them; it became a widely read title in the alternative-health market. The Body Code (2023) broadens this into a fuller system addressing physical, emotional, and energetic imbalance, and The Heart Code (2025) narrows the focus to what Nelson calls Heart-Walls, emotional barriers he says form around the heart. All three books, published by St. Martin's Essentials, present bioenergetic and intuitive approaches to health rather than conventional medical treatment, and are aimed at readers already drawn to energy healing and self-help frameworks.
