Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum discusses how fibromyalgia can be addressed effectively by optimizing the hormones in the body.According to the National Fibromyalgia Association, fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions. The disorder affects an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. and an estimated 3-6 percent of the world population. While it is most prevalent in women (75-90 percent of the people who have fibromyalgia are women), it also occurs in men and children of all ethnic groups.According to long-standing research and his personal work with treating chronic pain, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum says fibromyalgia can be addressed effectively by optimizing the hormones in the body; particularly the "sex" hormones of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. By doing this, you restore the body's energy production capabilities. Dr. Teitelbaum warns that physicians should treat individuals uniquely, based on symptoms -- not necessarily on what blood work shows hormone levels to be. Listen in as Dr. Teitelbaum joins Dr. Bond to share more about this approach to treating fibromyalgia, as well as his S.H.I.N.E. protocol.

P. Brendon Lundberg discusses new technology that treats chronic pain.Finding proper treatment for chronic pain sufferers is a challenge. The recent opioid crisis has proven that pharmaceuticals aren’t an option for long-term pain management and there are few therapies that prove successful. P. Brendon Lundberg, a former chronic pain sufferer, has taken a technology-driven approach to treating chronic pain. While many in the pain management industry treat the tissues surrounding the pain, he understands that pain is a phenomenon of the brain and has started treatment there. He along with David Farley, MD, a Harvard-MIT trained physician, has developed technology that acts as an artificial nerve, sending signals to the brain to relax. The result is pain relief that lasts several weeks, months, and sometimes, indefinitely. Listen as P. Brendon Lundberg joins Dr. Holly Lucille to discuss how to use this new technology to treat chronic pain.

Don't let your chronic pain trap you, and don't let others make you feel guilty for hurting.When we’re faced with pain, our impulse is to stop it and get rid of it. Sarah Anne Shockley discovered the area between her clavicle and first ribs had collapsed in 2007. She tried everything she could to rid herself of the pain, but nothing worked. With no solution in place, she focused on living life as best she could. She endured the pain and tried medications. She refused to believe that she had to live in chronic pain for the rest of her life. Since external treatments didn’t help, Sarah Anne looked inside. She found she was living with a lot of emotional distress regarding her physical pain, upset that she couldn’t participate fully in her life. There is a lot of shame and guilt connected to chronic pain. Outside sources find clever ways to tell you you’re wrong for having your pain.  Pain is a signal that something is amiss. Giving it appropriate attention can help you live with the  pain. People still need you and still love you. Be present with them as best you can with your pain. Recognizing that you can contribute to the pleasure of others can be very healing. Listen as Sarah Anne joins host Lisa Davis to share how she has lived with and moved beyond chronic pain.

Don't let your chronic pain trap you, and don't let others make you feel guilty for hurting.When we’re faced with pain, our impulse is to stop it and get rid of it. Sarah Anne Shockley discovered the area between her clavicle and first ribs had collapsed in 2007. She tried everything she could to rid herself of the pain, but nothing worked. With no solution in place, she focused on living life as best she could. She endured the pain and tried medications. She refused to believe that she had to live in chronic pain for the rest of her life. Since external treatments didn’t help, Sarah Anne looked inside. She found she was living with a lot of emotional distress regarding her physical pain, upset that she couldn’t participate fully in her life. There is a lot of shame and guilt connected to chronic pain. Outside sources find clever ways to tell you you’re wrong for having your pain.  Pain is a signal that something is amiss. Giving it appropriate attention can help you live with the  pain. People still need you and still love you. Be present with them as best you can with your pain. Recognizing that you can contribute to the pleasure of others can be very healing. Listen as Sarah Anne joins host Lisa Davis to share how she has lived with and moved beyond chronic pain.

When you're in pain, exercise may seem like the last thing you want to do.One out of three people suffer with chronic pain, and upwards of six million individuals in the U.S. suffer from fibromyalgia.When you're in pain, exercise may seem like the last thing you want to do. But, if you remain sedentary, it could lead to weight gain, which causes even more pain. Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum has been working with fibromyalgia and chronic pain patients for many years. He joins Naturally Savvy host, Lisa Davis, to share some tips for performing healthy and safe exercise if you're suffering from either of these debilitating conditions.Start off with doing water exercises in a warm-water pool. The weightlessness is easy on your joints, and the warm water helps loosen your muscles.When you stretch, put heat over the areas that give you the most pain. If you have widespread pain, all throughout your body, soak in a hot bath with Epsom salts before you stretch.When you're comfortable to ramp up your exercise, get a pedometer to track your steps. Dr. Teitelbaum suggests increasing your steps by 50 each day. Don't go too hard... "no pain, no gain" is not the mantra you want to live by.Take the supplement ribose after exercise. This will help ease any discomfort. Being intimate with your partner can seem like a lot of work, especially if you're in constant pain. But, it's one of the best ways to get some exercise and boost your "feel good" hormones.Listen in as Dr. Teitelbaum shares more about these methods, as well as other simple ways to reduce your pain.

Today, 133 million Americans – nearly half of all adults – live with some sort of chronic medical condition. In fact, a study by John Hopkins University reported that 75 percent of health care costs in America are spent on people with chronic illnesses. And the amount of people with chronic illnesses is rising, according to the Center for Disease Control. Today's guest, Dr. Larry Berkelhammer, lives with seven chronic illnesses, has made it his mission to help others live full lives in spite of these conditions. He has combined his personal experience with his past professional experience as a licensed psychotherapist in his new book, In Your Own Hands: New Hope for People with Chronic Medical Conditions. We're going to take some time to talk about some of the ideas from his book, where he proposes an action-based approach toward changing the lives of those with chronic illness, giving them a valuable guide using science-based practices to truly take their lives into their own hands despite physical limitations. If you or someone you know suffers from chronic illness, you'll want to make sure you listen in to this interview!

Coach Cafe' Radio is excited to welcome Larry Berkelhammer, PhD author of 'In Your Own Hands: New Hope for People with Chronic Medical Conditions.'   Dr. Larry Berkelhammer has lived with several chronic medical conditions since childhood. For decades he endured the frustration of not knowing the causes of his physical problems. He was then diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases and a primary immunodeficiency disease. He was told there were no known cures for them and that treatment for some would make others worse. A long-time mindfulness practitioner faced with this reality, Dr. Berkelhammer became curious about what practical steps he and others could to do improve health and well-being. He trained with several world leaders in psychooncology, psychophysiology, and psychoneuroimmunology    Dr. Berkelhammer has now combined his research and practices into a book to help others with similar conditions. In Your Own Hands: New Hope for People with Chronic Medical Conditions serves as a guide to help those living with chronic illness, as well as their caregivers, learn to live with conscious intention to maximize health and wellbeing.    In Your Own Hands chronicles Dr. Berkelhammer’s personal experiences with his past work as a practicing psychotherapist to give those struggling with chronic illness practical steps to take their health into their own hands, using the techniques of mindfulness and mastery.    Learn more about Dr. Larry Berkelhammer - www.larryberkelhammer.com Visit Coach Cafe' Radio to listen to all of our archived shows and recieve your complimentary Self Empowerment Gifts!  www.coachcaferadio.com Get to know your hosts- Kathleen Martin, LOACC- www.katheenmartincoaching.com Estra Roell, LOACC- www.americaslifepurposecoach.com  

Silent reflux causes stomach acid to back up into your nasal airway, throat, and voice box and can be the reason for your chronic cough.If you have trouble breathing in, you may be one of more than 100 million Americans suffering from Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), otherwise known as silent reflux.There are two valves located at both ends of your esophagus (called a sphincter muscle) that help the contents in your stomach flow from one end to the other. However, with LPR, the sphincter muscles don't work properly and stomach acid moves back into the throat, nasal airway and voice box.Unlike acid reflux where you can feel indigestion and heartburn, the symptoms you feel if you have LPR are very different and are exactly what the name suggests: silent.Symptoms include hoarseness, postnasal drip, sinusitis, allergies, asthma, sore throat, trouble swallowing, and cough.What is enigmatic chronic cough and how is it related to LPR?An enigma is defined as something that is difficult to interpret or understand and very mysterious. An enigmatic chronic cough is when you have a cough that has been present for eight weeks or more, and you are unable to identify and treat what is causing you to be chronically coughing.Since LPR causes acid to back-track through your esophagus and into your throat, nasal airway and voice box, chronic coughing is a very common symptom.How can you identify if your symptoms represent silent reflux?One way is by following a two-week "reflux boot camp."For two weeks, limit your acidic food intake; do not drink or eat anything within four hours of bedtime; and avoid processed food, alcohol, energy drinks, coffee, and carbonated beverages.What else do you need to know about preventing and treating silent reflux?Professor of Clinical Otolaryngology at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of the New York Medical College, Jamie Koufman, MD, shares the difference between silent reflux and acid reflux and the causes of silent reflux. She also explains the two-week boot camp that can help relieve your symptoms of silent reflux.
