Podcasts about Chronic pain

Scotty's symptom list is so long I'm not sure I can remember it all to include here, but let's give it a try: back, neck, foot, leg, arm, wrist pain, "tennis elbow," pelvic and groin pain, anxiety, panic, depression, dissociation, tooth sensitivity, burning mouth, and post viral infection symptoms. When you listen, you'll hear the whole thing from his mouth! It may sound unusual, but often in the rearview mirror we end up identifying a lifetime of TMS that has plagued us and led us to live in fear. As I always advise, Scotty took the medical route for each of these diagnoses, but found himself despairing with no enduring solutions. When he finally came upon the work of Dr. Sarno, the game began to change. When he found my work via a YouTube interview I gave, everything started to make sense. Join us today for a conversation with someone who REALLY talks and talk and walks the walk. Loved connecting with Scotty and dropping so many moments of truth. You're sure to be motivated to keep going. Lots of love to everyone out there. It takes willingness and intention, but this work can change your life. XOOX n.

Depression and chronic pain create a vicious cycle that can feel impossible to break. If you're caught in this loop, you're not alone – and there's hope for healing both simultaneously.Many people experience depression as a natural response to living with chronic pain, but few understand how these conditions feed each other through nervous system dysregulation. When your system stays in a heightened state of danger for too long, it can trigger both physical symptoms and a freeze/shutdown response we recognize as depression.Throughout this episode, we share our personal experiences with this cycle and outline four key strategies to break free. We explore how purposeful action – starting with tiny steps like brief journaling or getting sunlight – can gradually mobilize your nervous system out of shutdown. We discuss true embodiment practices that create safety with all sensations rather than forcing toxic positivity. We highlight the importance of modifying activities instead of complete avoidance, and we provide guidance on creating a depression flare plan for your most difficult days.The sensitization cycle connecting pain and depression is real and brutal, but understanding this connection is the first step toward healing. Whether you experience exhaustion, low motivation, social withdrawal, or all of these symptoms alongside your chronic pain and illness, your body isn't broken – your nervous system is simply trying to protect you the best way it knows how.As someone who has personally healed from debilitating chronic pain and depression using these approaches, I can tell you that recovery is possible. Each small step you take creates momentum toward healing both conditions simultaneously. Join us as we explore this crucial mind-body connection and provide practical tools to help you reclaim your life.Ready to start healing?

In this episode of the Plant Free MD podcast, Dr. Anthony Chaffee welcomes Will Ziener—a retired U.S. Air Force Special Operations veteran who faced a rapid decline in health as he grew older. Once at the height of physical fitness, Will found himself struggling with chronic illness, underperforming in the gym, and feeling defeated. That all changed when he discovered the carnivore diet. Will opens up about how switching to an all‑meat diet helped him regain strength, energy, and clarity. He shares lessons learned along the way, including why conventional nutrition advice failed him, and how he's navigated both personal health and performance using zero‑carb principles. Whether you're curious about real-life transformations or questioning mainstream dietary beliefs, Will's story delivers honest insights, practical takeaways, and a powerful reminder: sometimes the answers lie beyond the status quo.

Anxiety doesn't always scream—it simmers. It steals focus, hijacks your body, and leaves you wired and worn out. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Jeff Patterson to talk about what it means to actually live with stress—and how you can meet it differently, without burning out.Jeff shares his own path into meditation and Tai Chi, a journey that led him to create the Yielding Method: a practice that invites you to stop bracing and start softening—physically, mentally, emotionally. This isn't about retreating from life; it's about learning how to face it without clenching every muscle and thought along the way.They talk about how anxiety and chronic pain feed off each other, how stillness isn't laziness, and why meditation doesn't need to be perfect—it just needs to be practiced. From tiny daily rituals to full-body awareness, Jeff and Lyndsay break down the real-life tools that help people stop resisting what is and start creating space for what could be.Tune in if your nervous system feels like it's on overdrive and you're ready to breathe again—on purpose.Find Jeff Patterson Online Here:Website: theyieldingwarrior.comInstagram: @theyieldingwarriorFacebook: TaiChi YieldingLinkedIn: Jeff PattersonTikTok: @theyieldingwarriorBook: The Yielding WarriorFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(01:47) The Journey into Meditation(09:29) Understanding the Yielding Warrior Method(16:27) The Power of Consistency in Practice(21:29) Overcoming Barriers to Meditation

As AI continues to evolve and integrate into more areas of healthcare, many clinicians are asking: will we be replaced? In this episode, Mark Kargela and Ben Whybrow have a frank conversation about how AI is affecting clinical work, what it can (and can't) do well, and why the human elements of care—empathy, presence, collaboration—remain irreplaceable.You'll hear how we're using AI tools like ChatGPT in our content creation and case planning, the limitations we've seen in clinical decision-making, and why now is the time for clinicians to lean into the “soft” human skills that no algorithm can replicate.

When symptoms move through me, the first place I want to discuss it is here on this podcast. This week I have had some pain, and my JournalSpeak revealed some interesting patterns in my life that it may be time to challenge. I have always had an innate desire to control things, people, situations... am I alone? When I am unable to do so, sometimes my body clocks the danger. Yet, when I reflect on these impulses, I have to admit - I'm not so sure if they are "working." Today I invite you into my heart and mind. Hopefully my insights will shed some light on your own stuck places. Sending big love! xoxo n.

Many people push others away while desperately craving connection. Others battle chronic pain, digestive issues, or autoimmune conditions that seem to have no clear cause. But why is this? The answer often lies in unresolved childhood attachment trauma, specifically the experiences we had before we had words to make sense of them. This is why someone can have what looks like a good childhood but still struggle with anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, or autoimmune issues as an adult. The body remembers what the mind has forgotten. In this episode, Dr. Aimie breaks down the biology of early emotional pain and how it becomes stored in the body as chronic symptoms later in life. You'll discover the six core attachment wounds, why the body learns to stay in survival mode, how unresolved early trauma shapes your nervous system, immune system, and relationships in adulthood,  and most importantly, how to become your own safe person. You'll learn: [2:08] Why babies need to be held to survive and what happens when they're not [8:45] How to recognize if "it's not safe to relax" is your core attachment pattern [11:35] The health impacts of early attachment trauma [15:20]How fear becomes stored in the body as inflammation and chronic illness [20:49] The six core attachment wounds that shape our nervous system and relationships [25:30] How childhood wounds create the belief "I'm not capable" and lead to chronic overwhelm [30:08] The surprising link between people-pleasing and chronic pain [32:45] How brain fog, histamine intolerance, and depression can stem from attachment wounds [37:50] The three-phase roadmap to safely heal stored trauma in the body Whether you're someone living with unexplained chronic health issues or a practitioner supporting clients who seem stuck, this episode will help you understand the deep connection between childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and adult symptoms and what it really takes to heal.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

Have you ever wondered if your determination to overcome chronic pain might actually be keeping you stuck? This eye-opening discussion reveals how our natural tendency to fight against uncomfortable symptoms can backfire by triggering more nervous system dysregulation.Tanner and Anne expertly break down the fight response – not just physical fighting, but the tension, racing thoughts, urgent behaviors, and constant attempts to fix and figure out our symptoms. "I was perpetually in fight mode for my first two years," Tanner reveals, highlighting how many of us fall into this pattern without realizing it's counterproductive.Through practical examples and compassionate guidance, they explain why frantically researching solutions, scheduling endless appointments, and pushing through pain actually sends danger signals to your brain, perpetuating the very symptoms you're trying to eliminate. The solution? A paradoxical approach that involves allowing your sensations rather than battling them.You'll discover practical strategies for breaking free from the fight cycle – embodying sensations instead of amplifying them, using safe self-talk, and embracing short-term acceptance that signals safety to your nervous system. Perhaps most challenging is learning to embrace uncertainty rather than constantly seeking control.Whether you struggle with chronic pain, mysterious symptoms, or find yourself constantly fighting to fix your body, this episode offers a refreshing perspective that could transform your healing journey. Notice when you're going into fight mode this week and try gently stepping out of it – your nervous system will thank you.Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health! The Mind-Body Couple podcast is owned by Pain Psychotherapy Canada Inc. This podcast is produced by Alex Klassen, who is one of the wonderful therapists at our agency in Calgary, Alberta. https://www.painpsychotherapy.ca/ Tanner, Anne, and Alex also run the MBody Community, which is an in-depth online course that provides step-by-step guidance for assessing, treating, and resolving mind-body pain and symptoms. https://www.mbodycommunity.com Also check out Tanner's YouTube channel for more free education and practices: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Fl6WaFHnh4ponuexaMbFQ And follow us for daily education posts on Instagram: @painpsychotherapy Discl...

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm opening up about something far beyond food, fasting, or hormones: my spiritual transformation. Over the past several years, I've experienced tremendous success—and tremendous loss. What started as a nutrition therapy business rooted in service began to feel more like striving. I found myself chasing downloads, metrics, and content calendars… and losing sight of who I was really called to be. ✨ In this episode, I share: Why I stepped away from social media and podcasting for a season How I realized I was idolizing my business The power of obedience and stillness when life feels out of control What God is showing me about rest, identity, and true healing How I'm rebuilding my work around Him—not around hustle This is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and consider whether you're prioritizing spiritual health as much as physical. ✅ Key Topics Covered The unspoken pressure behind business success in the health world Recognizing when social media becomes spiritual distraction How stepping away brought clarity to your faith and family What it means to trust God with your business and your purpose Encouragement for others stuck in the cycle of “doing more” Want to connect with me personally or share your story?

In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano gets real about the mess behind the scenes: home renovation hell, relentless exhaustion, and the kind of stress that clings to your skin.This isn't a glamorized version of pushing through.

Chronic pain affects not only the body but the mind and soul as well. In today’s heartfelt devotional, Vivian Bricker shares from her personal journey with autoimmune illness and the emotional toll that chronic suffering can bring—loneliness, isolation, and the temptation to give up. But amidst the pain, Vivian reminds us of the hope found in God’s unchanging presence and faithful love. Through Psalm 73:26, we’re encouraged to trust that God is our portion and strength, even when our bodies and hearts fail. Vivian’s honest reflection and vulnerable prayer offer comfort to anyone battling pain, reminding us that we are seen, we are not alone, and that God’s grace sustains us day by day. ✨ Key Takeaway: Pain may be part of our story, but it doesn’t define us—Jesus does. God sees every tear and every moment of struggle. His strength carries us, and His promises give us hope beyond the pain.

Dr. K explains how the most common causes of chronic pain in later life, and how pain should be evaluated. She also covers the most effective ways to treat pain, and explains what to know about commonly used painkillers.

Sometimes I have a free hour or two, and my favorite activity is to put in my AirPods, listen to a podcast, and walk. It feels so free and renewing, and sometimes it's where I come up with my best ideas for this podcast. Recently, I was listening to This American Life, Suddenly! A Mirror! and a story in it made me think - how many of us are living our lives defined by past experiences that have encoded us with SHAME? Too many, I presume. Join me for a conversation which may just wake you up to some automatic thought patterns and self-definitions that are no longer serving you. In your TMS recovery, it can make all the difference.

Lisa and I found ourselves talking about a frequently asked question in our communities: Won't thinking about my dark stuff make me worse? This is a typical fear of many people endeavoring TMS work. I have such empathy for the perceived quandary - it makes sense that paying attention to seemingly negative content might make it grow. Yet, we both know this is the opposite of truth. Then Lisa suggested a juxtaposition: let's consider the difference between rumination and excavation. Whereas rumination is automatic and unproductive, excavation is intentional and leads to healing. I took the challenge of explaining it through the lens of JournalSpeak, and here we are! I think this episode will enable you to challenge your resistance and open yourself to the incredible transformation that JournalSpeak offers. Lots of love from both of us!
