Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope.

What if the chronic pain that's been ruling your life isn't actually about physical damage—but about your brain trying to protect you from threats it perceives based on your entire life history? Ashleigh Di Lello should be dead. At 13, doctors told her she wouldn't survive her teenage years after a mysterious viral infection began shutting down her organs. Twenty years later, after building a successful Broadway career, a failed hip surgery left her unable to walk and in excruciating pain that no treatment could touch…not even powerful opioids. After trying over 200 treatments and being told by specialists it was "downhill from here," Ashleigh made a decision that would revolutionize how we understand chronic pain. In this episode, we dive deep into a topic that's been both personal and transformative for me: the connection between pain and the brain. For years, I believed that pain was only the result of real, physical injuries. But after my own journey through back surgery and chronic pain, I started to question: what if our brains play a bigger role in how we experience pain than we realize? Discover why Type A personalities are more prone to chronic pain, how your brain actually gets BETTER at creating pain the more you experience it, and why doing everything "right" for your body might not be enough if your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. Ashleigh reveals the critical difference between regulating your nervous system (managing symptoms) versus rewiring it (changing how your brain processes pain entirely), and shares the exact paradigm shift that allowed her to walk again after five years of disability. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, unexplained symptoms, or simply curious about the incredible power of the brain-body connection, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about healing.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Ashleigh Di Lello:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/ashleighdilello  Website ➜  https://www.ashleydilello.com  Thank you to our show sponsors!

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris dive into questions from their listeners and talk about what's been on their minds. They start off by rating their personal relationships with the scale and how something as small as changing your dinner time can cause huge changes on the scale – even if you didn't lose any body fat!They also talk about how people treat fat loss like a seasonal thing – being "all in" at certain times of the year, then falling off during vacations, holidays, and summer fun. This leads to people feeling like they're dieting all year without seeing real results. The guys break down how that happens and what to do instead.Next, they answer questions from listeners. They talk about how someone with muscle-wasting issues can begin to build strength again without doing too much too fast. They also share their honest thoughts about the carnivore diet (spoiler: they're not fans) and end with a fun question about what clients say or don't say that makes coaching easier or harder.Whether you're frustrated with the scale, struggling with consistency, or just wondering what your coach really wants to hear from you—this episode covers a lot.Chapters(00:00) How's Your Relationship with the Scale?(01:00) Chase's Early Dinner Experiment(03:00) Why the Scale Fluctuates (And Doesn't Always Mean Fat Gain)(06:00) The Seasons of Fat Loss: A Coaching Perspective(08:00) The Hidden Truth About “Year-Round” Dieting(11:50) How Consistent Are You Really?(12:55) Listener Q1: How to Build Muscle with an Autoimmune Condition(16:15) Listener Q2: Our Honest Take on the Carnivore Diet(21:00) Listener Q3: What Clients Don't Say (But We Wish They Did)(27:45) The Importance of Sharing Plans and Form Videos with Your Coach(29:20) Wrap Up + Scale Relationship ChallengeSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show:https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

It's so easy and human to get lost in the fear that we are "not okay." It's so tempting in the middle of the night to despair about things that may come from a night of no sleep. It's so natural to pre-grieve and obsess about symptoms and fear we don't have the fortitude to endure hard things. Today on the pod I give you a healthy dose of perspective, one that is changing the game for me. When we can normalize that which is indeed possible within the realm of the human spirit, we gain a superpower to endure and heal. Join us! XOOX n. FOR SEPTEMBER ONLY!

In this episode, Dr. Brian Joves shares a personal journey of confronting cancer and how it reshaped his perspective on nutrition. Despite the fact that most physicians receive only a few hours of formal training in nutrition, diet remains one of the most powerful—and underutilized—tools in medicine.We'll discuss:Why nutrition education is lacking in medical training.The dangers of the Standard American Diet (SAD) and its role in chronic disease and pain.The science behind ketogenic diets, the Warburg effect, and what emerging research says about cancer and metabolism.How nutrition quality directly impacts chronic spinal pain and recovery.Practical, evidence-based ways patients can improve wellness and resilience—whether managing cancer, chronic pain, or simply aiming for better health.Key Takeaways:Nutrition is foundational—not optional—for long-term health, recovery, and resilience.Cancer and chronic pain share a common thread: both are influenced by inflammation, metabolic health, and lifestyle choices.Medical interventions—whether injections, medications, or surgery—are more effective when paired with better nutrition, movement, rest, and mindset.Patients don't need to overhaul everything at once. Small, consistent changes—reducing processed foods, improving diet quality, and focusing on whole foods—can be transformative.Want to dive deeper into the link between nutrition and pain?

Ever wondered why, despite trying countless treatments, your chronic pain and illness persists? The answer might be hiding in your daily habits. Tanner and Anne reveal how our lifestyle patterns can keep us trapped in cycles of pain and symptoms—even when we're doing everything else "right."The MindBodyCouple hosts dive deep into three critical habits that maintain chronic pain. First, they explore high-intensity living—that relentless cycle of overworking, perfectionism, and ignoring basic needs that keeps our nervous systems stuck in fight-or-flight. Tanner shares his personal experience of how this pattern preceded his own chronic pain journey, feeling initially productive but eventually crossing a threshold where his body couldn't sustain it. The solution isn't abandoning intensity altogether but finding balance—slowing down, creating space for play, and blending purpose with safety.Equally problematic is low-intensity living—withdrawal, isolation, and avoidance that many fall into when pain and illness becomes overwhelming. While it seems protective, this pattern actually sends danger signals to the brain, perpetuating symptoms. Anne and Tanner offer practical strategies for mobilizing a shut-down system through purposeful action, reconnection, and gradual exposure to movement and the outside world.Perhaps most fundamental is the third habit: lack of embodiment. This disconnection from bodily sensations keeps many stuck in chronic pain cycles, constantly thinking rather than feeling and viewing the body as an unsafe place. Both hosts relate personally to this pattern, acknowledging how threatening it can feel to tune into a body experiencing pain and illness. Through gentle somatic practices and daily embodiment exercises, we can rebuild a compassionate relationship with our physical selves.Ready to transform your relationship with chronic symptoms? Start by identifying which habits resonate most strongly with you and make one small shift today. Remember, healing isn't just about removing pain—it's about changing how you live, feel, and relate to yourself.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.

How is it different from Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)?

He quit his practice in Seattle, WA, to present his insights into solving chronic mental and physical pain. They evolved from his 15-year battle. He escaped from the ordeal and discovered that mental pain was the biggest issue. Anxiety is the pain. He is working on a new book addressing RUTs (repetitive unpleasant thoughts). He discovered they are solvable by addressing threat physiology and the cognitive component.  His book, Back in Control: A Surgeon's Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain, systematically presents well-documented treatments for chronic pain. His self-directed action plan, which reflects many successful patients' journeys, is available at www.thedocjourney.com. He launched a movement called “Dynamic Healing,” which recognizes the interactions between stress and one's coping capacity, causing sustained threat physiology. Dealing with stress more effectively and increasing the resiliency of the nervous system allows healing. He is active as a speaker, author, and consultant.

I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul.

Also, Naomi Watts stops by to catch up, talk about her latest projects and raise awareness during National Hot Flash Day. Plus, the story of how one woman went from running the courtroom to running her own sheep farm.

Sometimes the path to healing starts with letting your imagination lead. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Deborah Weed for a conversation that blends creativity, resilience, and a fierce reclaiming of self-worth.Deborah shares her story of being bedridden for three years—misdiagnosed, dismissed, and cut off from the life she once knew. But instead of giving up, she turned inward, channeling her pain into something powerful: a Broadway-scale musical and a character named Paisley the Porcupine who teaches kids (and grown-ups) about the power of self-worth. “Quills up,” she says, is the reminder we all need when it's time to protect our truth and stand in our strength.They talk about the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, the impact of childhood narratives, and how creativity isn't just a passion, it's a path to remembering who you are. Whether it's theater, writing, music, or movement, pursuing what lights you up can be the most radical form of healing there is.Tune in if you've ever felt silenced, sidelined, or small, and are ready to take your power back, one creative spark at a time.Find Deborah Weed Online Here:Website: selfworthinitiative.netInstagram: @deborah.weedFacebook: Deborah WeedLinkedIn: Deborah WeedBook: Paisley's Last Quill If OnlyFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastHighlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Creativity(02:38) Deborah's Journey from Bedridden to Broadway(05:23) The Power of Creativity in Healing(08:06) The Self-Worth Initiative and Its Impact(11:13) The Story of Paisley the Porcupine(14:00) Reclaiming Power and Self-Worth(17:05) The Role of Empathy and Sensitivity(20:01) The Importance of Community and Support(22:40) Final Thoughts on Healing and Creativity

On this follow-up to episode #566, Jared takes systemic enzymes one step further by laying out practical protocols for real-life concerns. While the last show explained what systemic enzymes do and why they matter, this episode focuses on how to use them—and how to combine them with other targeted supplements to give the body the tools it need to truly heal rather than just mask symptoms. Jared lays out protocols that address the root causes behind pain and inflammation, and abnormal tissue growth as in scar tissue and adhesions, fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis. If you listened to episode #566 and wanted to know “what do I actually do next?” this show provides the answers with clear, actionable strategies. You'll come away with step-by-step dosing guidelines, companion supplement recommendations, and a roadmap for addressing both symptoms and the root causes behind them.

Cheryl shares her powerful journey of being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at just 21 years old and reflects on what it was like to go from being a healthy, athletic college student to suddenly navigating pain, fatigue, and disbelief from doctors. She opens up about the emotional toll of feeling dismissed, the relief of finally getting a diagnosis, and the lessons she's learned about acceptance, self-compassion, and living fully despite chronic illness. She also shares how her experiences led her to create the Rheum to THRIVE educational program and support group, so that no one has to navigate life with RA alone. Cheryl and Dr. Hassett explore the realities of RA that often go misunderstood, from unpredictable flare-ups, invisible symptoms, and the mental health challenges of chronic illness. Cheryl also shares the strategies that help her thrive today: pacing her energy, building community, protecting sleep, and seeking out moments of joy.  If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed after your own diagnosis, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone, and that it is possible to find purpose, hope, and connection while living with RA.This conversation originally occurred in 2024 and first appeared on the "Chronic Pain Reset” podcast, hosted by pain psychologist Dr. Afton Hassett. Medical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels was created for generalized informational purposes only.

His personal journey started as a retail pharmacist just trying to help diabetic patients. What he learned over the last decade is that teaching patients about the impact of diet, medications and lifestyle is the most valuable tool for improving health outcomes.He wanted to use his background as a pharmacist to fill that need for patient education. Unlike pharmacy school, he now has evidence-based information at his fingertips. And for the curious-minded, there are several clever ways to discover where conflicts of interest in the government, food, and pharmaceutical industries have shaped our misunderstanding of chronic disease. ​On a personal level, he found the ketogenic diet to be a powerful tool in helping him drop over fifty pounds and fuel his newly found passion for the watersport, SUP (stand-up paddle). He was able to achieve this goal and significantly improve various health markers. This personal dietary experiment added passion to his career transition from a traditional retail pharmacist to an educator and coach. Before he knew it, he was offering diabetes classes and leading a weekly support group. ​With recent advances in wearable technologies like CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) and smart watches, patients can get important feedback in real-time regarding the consequences of their choices. His role is to facilitate learning as they navigate their own personal trek back to better health. https://www.unscriptedpharmacist.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Dr. Mohammad Issa, Riverside Interventional Pain Specialist, joins us to discuss chronic pain - what it is, what causes it, and how interventional pain medicine can help provide relief.

Chronic pain isn't just about what's happening in the body, it's about what's happening in the brain, too. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Dr. Mark Olson for a conversation that unpacks the deeper layers of pain—where neuroscience, trauma, and lived experience all intersect.Dr. Olson brings a trauma-informed lens to the table, helping us understand how pain is shaped not only by physical injury but by emotion, memory, and the nervous system's learned responses. Together, they explore why chronic pain is so often misunderstood, and how a deeper understanding—by both patients and practitioners—can shift everything.They talk about the brain's incredible ability to adapt, how coping mechanisms develop as survival tools, and why compassion and connection are just as critical as treatment plans. This episode offers more than information—it offers validation for those who've been told their pain is “all in their head,” and clarity for those still trying to make sense of it all.Tune in if you're ready to rethink what pain really is, and how healing might start with being truly seen.Find Dr. Mark Olson Online Here:Website: dr-olson.comInstagram: @dr.markolsonFacebook: Dr. OlsonLinkedIn: Mark OlsonFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastHighlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Neuroscience(01:47) Understanding Pain: The Science Behind It(08:48) The Importance of Trauma-Informed Care(12:23) Navigating the Pain Game: Personal Experiences(19:47) The Complexity of Pain Perception(25:35) The Duality of Existence: Living with Pain(31:29) Educating Practitioners and Patients(42:33) Conclusion and Resources for Chronic Pain Management

​​Are you or your patients still struggling with lingering pain long after a concussion or injury? Too often, people are told their symptoms are “just in their head” or that they'll have to live with chronic pain forever. Clinicians may treat the obvious issues but miss what's really fueling the pain—and patients are left frustrated, exhausted, and stuck in survival mode. But what if the missing link isn't just about the body, but the brain? In this episode, Dr. Becca Timko shares how she built her clinic, Clarity Brain and Body, around functional neurology and a patient experience that truly works. Together, we dive into how chronic pain and concussion recovery intersect—and why addressing both is essential for real healing. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why chronic pain often shows up alongside persistent concussion symptoms How to recognize when pain is brain-based versus tissue-based The signs that pain is shifting into something chronic (hint: it's not just about a 3-month cutoff) Practical ways clinicians can shift their approach to better support patients in pain This conversation will leave you with fresh insights, practical strategies, and hope—whether you're a clinician helping patients heal or someone on your own recovery journey.

I can't overstate how many emails I get about Long Covid and the alarming symptoms associated with it - Brain fog and Chronic Fatigue among many others.

Today he is still 100% well. If you haven't heard this one, or even if you simply haven't heard it in a while, tune in for Gary's astonishing story. If there's any episode to stoke belief in and dedication to the process, it's this one.

When she was growing up in conservative, evangelical rural Minnesota, she knew. When she was excelling at sports, giving and receiving body slams and folding chair hits as a pro wrestler, she knew. Even when she married a woman while still living as a man, Denise knew that she was female. Denise figured it was either suicide or take action to live her truth and fully transition. With her debut special, Bougie on a Budget, now streaming on Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime, Denise opens up her gender journey and the joys and challenges she faced along the way. She reveals that her standup career took off when she acknowledged her transgender status on stage.
