Podcasts about healing chronic pain

Today's guest is Ben Reubenstein, a brain injury survivor, entrepreneur, and Colorado local. In 2023, what was initially diagnosed as a concussion after a snowboarding fall turned out to be a subdural hematoma requiring emergency brain surgery. Two years post-operation, Ben joins us to share his raw and honest journey—from the missed signs and the life-saving surgery to the long road of recovery, the frustration of lingering symptoms, and the mindset shifts that are helping him get back to the life and sports he loves.Episode Summary: Ben Rubenstein was doing everything right—wearing a helmet while snowboarding, and seeing a doctor, and seeking therapy after a fall and hit to his head. But when his concussion symptoms didn't improve, the truth was far more serious: a slow brain bleed that required two brain surgeries. In this powerful episode, Ben walks us through his entire experience, including the critical mistake of not getting an initial scan, the helicopter ride to the hospital, and the "denial phase" that followed his release. He discusses the importance of building a care team, the turning point he found in a book about healing chronic pain, and how he reframed his relationship with fear to finally get back on the mountain. This is a story of resilience, the power of vulnerability, and the importance of advocating for your own health.Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode:Book: The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain by Alan GordonApp: Brain HQ (cognitive training program)Connect with Bethany:Website: www.theconcussioncoach.comFree Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Consultation: Link in show notes or on the websiteConnect with Ben Reubenstein:Bluesky: @benr.eu

What if healing — and becoming who you're meant to be — doesn't happen through pushing harder… but through softening?In this episode, Anna is joined by Chelsea Emery, a chronic pain and symptom recovery coach who recovered from 45 years of migraines, along with a cascade of other debilitating symptoms, using mind-body and nervous-system-informed approaches.Chelsea is also a recent private coaching client of Anna's and a member of the Seen & Safe community, and this conversation offers a rare inside look at the identity shift that often unfolds alongside healing: letting go of an old career, releasing pressure-based patterns, and stepping into a new way of working and living — without repeating the same burnout cycle.Together, Anna and Chelsea explore the deep parallels between chronic pain recovery and stepping into visibility, leadership, and a new professional identity. Chelsea shares how journaling, emotional expression, nervous-system safety, and allowing support helped her heal — and how those same principles now shape the way she supports others.This is a conversation about healing, yes — but also about permission. Permission to soften. Permission to receive support. Permission to stop earning your worth through pressure.In this episode, we explore:What it's like when chronic symptoms pile up and your world starts to shrinkHow Chelsea recovered from decades of migraines and other unexplained symptomsWhy autonomy and choice are essential for nervous-system healingThe role of journaling and emotional expression in recoveryThe grief and identity shift that can come with leaving a meaningful careerHow fear shows up during visibility and career transitions (and how to work with it gently)Why baby steps often create faster, more sustainable change than pushingThe overlap between mind-body healing and entrepreneurshipWhat “softening” actually looks like in real life — and why it isn't weaknessChelsea's core message:Soft doesn't mean weak. Softening is a strength. Connect with Chelsea Emery

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Leigh Ann Lindsey, founder of The Accrescent and creator of Healing Alchemy, to explore the powerful connection between the unconscious mind, emotional patterns, and physical illness. Leigh Ann shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 25 and how that experience led her to discover and ultimately dedicate her work to EVOX therapy, a modality focused on the emotional and energetic contributors to illness.Leigh Ann breaks down what EVOX therapy actually is, explaining how voice mapping identifies imbalanced emotions through vocal tones and how biofeedback frequencies help regulate the nervous system and support emotional release. She discusses why nervous system regulation is critical when working through trauma and chronic illness, and why talk therapy alone can sometimes feel slow or incomplete when the body remains in a stress response.The conversation dives deep into unconscious narratives, safety, and how early life experiences can shape belief systems that quietly run our behaviours, health patterns, and even our ability to heal. Leigh Ann explains how unmetabolized emotions, looping thought patterns, and displaced pain can manifest as illness, and why healing requires more than positive thinking or affirmations. Together, they explore how illness can sometimes serve as a messenger or coping mechanism, offering insight into what the body and psyche may be asking for beneath the surface.Throughout the episode, Leigh Ann emphasizes a “no stone unturned” approach to healing, blending EVOX therapy with depth psychology to help clients move through emotional blockages, rewire old neural pathways, and create a sense of safety within the body. She also shares how her Healing Alchemy membership and resources make this work more accessible for people navigating cancer, chronic illness, and long-standing emotional patterns.This episode offers a compassionate, grounded, and deeply insightful look at healing that honors the mind, body, and spirit as an integrated whole.Find Leigh Ann Lindsey on instagram hereLet us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at info@vagusclinic.com.

Reclaiming Your Life: Healing Chronic Pain and Illness with Lori ClemmonsEpisode Summary:In this transformative episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we welcome Lori Clemmons—compassionate wellness coach, certified clinical trauma specialist, NLP master practitioner, hypnotherapy expert, and survivor of chronic illness. Lori shares her remarkable journey of living with chronic illness and pain for over 27 years, including being bedridden for more than a year and homebound for over two. Despite following every traditional path to healing—from medication to specialized diets—nothing worked… until she approached healing from the inside out.Lori opens up about the emotional and physical toll of chronic illness and how a shift in perspective—slowing down, cultivating joy, and finding peace—transformed her health and life. She teaches that true healing starts when we calm the nervous system and create space for the body to rest and repair.If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless on your health journey, Lori's story offers real hope and practical steps to reclaim your well-being. Learn how mindfulness, self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and small daily choices can ignite powerful healing from within.Key Takeaways:Chronic illness can be linked to an overactive stress response—we can't heal when we're stuck in fight-or-flight.Healing often begins by slowing down and making space for joy, art, stillness, and gratitude.You can experience joy even with symptoms.Nervous system regulation is foundational—start small: one breath, one walk, one kind word to yourself.Positive self-talk and compassionate self-coaching are powerful tools for long-term wellness.Healing is not about doing more—it's about being more present and choosing what nourishes your mind, body, and spirit.Powerful Quotes from Lori Clemmons:“I started trying to find joy in life rather than slogging through and working so hard... and once I made that switch, my symptoms started reducing. Within about 10 months, my symptoms were all gone.”“It wasn't until I could relax the nervous system that my body had the energy to be able to focus on healing. And it was amazing.”“If you have a fire in the kitchen, it's not the time to be making your bed.”“We reclaim moments. And by reclaiming moments, we calm the nervous system and allow the body to heal.”An Invitation to Our Listeners:If you're dealing with chronic illness or pain, we invite you to pause. Reflect. And consider that healing might not be about trying harder, but about softening, listening, and allowing your body to return to safety. As Dr. John Demartini says, “Incurable means curable from within.”Connect with Lori Clemmons:

What if your most stubborn pain isn't a broken body, but a brilliant brain trying to protect you? We open up about Tanner's journey from spreading knee, shoulder, and back pain to a full recovery, and how the real turning point came when he reframed pain as a danger signal from the nervous system—not proof of damage. You'll hear the messy middle too: fear, failed treatments, shrinking routines, and the isolation that follows when life gets small.We break down the five pillars that changed everything. First, evidence-based education shifted beliefs using the work of Dr. John Sarno and Dr. Howard Schubiner, plus real-world clues like symptom inconsistency and stress-linked flares. Second, brain retraining and graded exposure taught Tanner to approach sensation with safety and rebuild movement without deadlines. Third, daily nervous system regulation—breathwork, mindfulness, qigong, and somatic practices—created a calmer baseline while building capacity to feel emotions in the body without spiralling. Fourth, trauma processing addressed bullying, addiction history, and the trauma of chronic pain itself, using titrated, body-led methods and, when needed, therapeutic support. Finally, social safety sealed the change: fewer toxic ties, less pressure, clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, and more play.The result isn't a life without discomfort; it's a nervous system that bounces back. Flares show up less often and fade faster because the brain has new proof that movement and emotion are safe. If you've been told to just live with it, this conversation offers a different path—rooted in neuroscience, practice, and patience. Subscribe, share with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find these tools. What's the first safety signal or small exposure you'll try this week?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.

 In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Mike who emphasized the importance of accurate pain assessment and the potential impact of psychological factors like placebo effect. Tony's injury from swimming surprisingly reduced his chronic pain, suggesting a link between acute and chronic pain management. Mike suggested alternative pain-inducing activities to potentially aid healing. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/mike-sententia2         Highlights from today's episode include: Mike and the importance of honest feedback from clients—encouraging them to report truthfully even when a technique doesn't work, as this helps practitioners refine and improve their healing methods. Mike explains the shift from using the term “suppress” to “neutralize” or “cancel out” energy signatures, to better describe his pain reduction technique and avoid negative connotations. Manon explains the need for thorough, transparent assessment and follow-up of pain intensity and frequency, so practitioners and clients have accurate benchmarks to measure healing progress.   ABOUT MIKE SENTENTIA: I'm Mike. After studying and practicing energy healing 20+ years, I've developed a unique system of energy healing, specifically designed for chronic pain conditions.

In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. David Pascal of Pascal Health Institute, known as the Miracle Doctor for his work with Olympic athletes and patients suffering from chronic conditions no one else could resolve. He shares how his unique approach identifies the root cause of pain, combining detailed listening, thorough exams, and treatments that restore the body's natural vibrations. We explore how trauma gets stored in the body, why traditional medicine often falls short, and how he's helped people worldwide find relief when they thought it was impossible. His clinic in North Carolina has become a destination for hope and healing.

Female Pelvic Pain and Its Relationship to Emotions & Trauma Dr. Adriana Martí   When sex hurts, experts still have tons of unanswered questions. Since we don't have much accurate data on the various conditions that make intercourse painful, women often suffer in silence.   To help sort this out, Dr. Diana Wiley, a sex therapist, and Dr. Adriana Martí, a pain psychologist, had an informative conversation.   Dr. Martí uses the biopsychosocial model, which has emerged as the most comprehensive framework for understanding pain. Coming from a family of physicians, Dr. Marti understood the value of treating the physical body, but she also saw where the biomedical model falls short. That insight led her to embrace integrative, mind-body approaches to care especially for those living with chronic illness or pain.   The level of a patient's anger has been shown to be an important predictor of chronic pain symptoms, and cultivating compassion has been shown to positively influence how we process emotions, thus reducing the tendency toward negativity, including anger.   Psychological or emotional factors are often involved. Stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, a history of sexual abuse, an upsetting pelvic exam in the past, or relationship troubles can also be at the root of sexual pain. Some women experience vaginismus—an involuntary clenching of vaginal muscles that prevents penetration. Vaginismus is especially common among women who associate their vaginal area with fear or physical trauma.   Both the sex therapist and the health psychologist want to include the patient's partner at some point in the therapeutic process. For many couples who have been dealing with a confusing, undefined issue, there is a buildup of resentment and anger. Men often fear hurting their partner. Pleasure can become pain. It is so easy for couples to blame each other and lose sight of the fact that the real problem is a physiological condition, not their partner.   Dr. Martí also notes the cultural piece: the expectations related to the family. How does the family relate to pain? In one case, the mother and the grandmother both had pelvic pain. Sometimes the woman gets sucked into the “sick role,” which has the benefit of lowered expectations from the patient, but is ultimately not emotionally healthy.   Can pain be unlearned? A study led by Yoni Ashar, PhD, which was published in JAMA Psychiatry, was the first clinical trial of pain reprocessing therapy (PRT). PRT was developed by psychotherapist Alan Gordon to treat primary chronic back pain. Complete details can be found in his book, The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain.   There are additional fixes, such as vaginal estrogen or other medicines or creams. Also, pelvic floor therapy (provided by a specially trained physical therapist) can help control vaginal muscles. “Down training” uses a combination of mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, stretching, and visualization to help calm the nervous system.     The couple in therapy may be asked to do “outercourse” homework (non-penetrative sex). Some couples put too much focus on penetrative sex and neglect other fun, equally pleasurable sexual activities. Outercourse is a great option because it helps women forget there's a goal, so they can just enjoy the feelings and sensations of the ride! It gets both people out of their brains and into their bodies.   Dr. Martí has a private practice where she works with individuals and couples in both English and Spanish. All sessions are done via telehealth. A fifteen-minute phone consultation is the no-charge first step!  www.martipsychologicalservices.com

Why do some people recover from chronic pain and illness with seemingly imperfect techniques while others follow every strategy meticulously yet struggle? The answer lies not in what you're doing, but how you're doing it.The foundation of effective healing isn't mastering complicated strategies—it's cultivating the right mindset. When we approach recovery with intensity, pressure, perfectionism, or fear, we inadvertently signal danger to our nervous systems, perpetuating the very symptoms we're trying to resolve.True healing begins with creating safety. This means embracing slowness, lightness, and ease in your practices and daily life. It means removing self-imposed healing deadlines and giving yourself permission for days off without guilt. It means slowing your walking pace, speaking more deliberately, and allowing unstructured free time—simple yet powerful ways to signal safety to your nervous system.Facing fears represents another crucial mindset shift. While strategic avoidance during intense flare-ups makes sense, perpetual avoidance reinforces your brain's perception of danger. Those who recover most successfully gradually expose themselves to feared triggers, sensations, and activities, dismantling their "rule book" of avoidance behaviors one small challenge at a time.Perhaps most fulfilling is reclaiming purposeful action. Chronic pain often disconnects us from activities that bring joy and meaning. Reconnecting with your values—whether through helping others, enjoying nature, or simply having dinner with friends—regulates your nervous system in ways meditation alone cannot. Start wherever your current capacity allows, extending compassion to yourself throughout the process.Finally, cultivate genuine hope in your recovery through whatever resonates—understanding the science, hearing success stories, or tracking "healing wins" beyond pain reduction. Notice how you're responding to symptoms with less fear, widening your world, and improving emotional regulation as evidence of your progress.This week, we challenge you to focus more on your healing mindset than on perfecting techniques. The path forward isn't about trying harder—it's about creating the internal conditions where healing naturally unfolds.Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms.

In this powerful episode of Heal Yourself with Sarah Dawkins, certified life coach Tanaz Hosseinpour shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming excruciating, debilitating back pain that left her unable to walk, sit or function. After being told she'd never lift a pen again, Tanaz turned to holistic healing and emotional release to address the real root cause, unprocessed grief from her grandfather's death.Tannaz opens up about how years of personal development, her background in conflict resolution, law and psychotherapy and the guidance of a skilled healer helped her unravel the emotional weight that was literally breaking her back. Through emotional release work, spiritual practices and nervous system regulation, she regained full mobility, without relying on Western medical interventions alone.

What if your body already knows how to heal itself, and your brain just needs to get out of the way? After 27 years of debilitating chronic illness—including lupus, chemical sensitivities, and chronic fatigue syndrome—wellness coach Lori Clemmons discovered the transformative power of neuroplasticity when conventional treatments failed her.In this enlightening conversation, Lori reveals how she went from being homebound and sometimes bedridden to hiking, jogging, and living vibrantly by retraining her brain. The key? Calming her overactive limbic system—the part of the brain constantly scanning for threats—through mindful practices like forest bathing, meditation, and positive thought redirection. As she explains, when we shift from constant fight-or-flight mode to a state of relaxation, our bodies produce healing neurotransmitters instead of stress hormones, giving us the energy needed for recovery.For anyone struggling with chronic conditions, sleep issues, or the natural changes of aging, this episode offers compassionate, practical guidance for making peace with your body. Lori's "compassionate self-coaching" approach teaches how to take small, sustainable steps toward healing rather than overwhelming yourself with massive changes. Whether you're dealing with persistent health challenges or simply want to approach aging with grace and vitality, this conversation illuminates how changing your relationship with your brain can transform your relationship with your body.What small step could you take today to begin rewiring your wellness?Bio Lori Clemmons is a compassionate Wellness Coach, chronic illness survivor, and author of Rewire Your Wellness: A Holistic Guide to Healing Chronic Pain, Anxiety, and Fatigue. After overcoming over 25 years of chronic health challenges, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, Lori now dedicates her life to helping women reclaim their health and vitality. By blending personal experience with cutting-edge neuroscience, she empowers women to rewire their brains for wellness, balance their emotional and physical health, and break free from cycles of pain and fatigue.

Ever found yourself frustrated that your chronic pain or symptoms aren't resolving as quickly as the success stories you've heard? You're not alone, and more importantly—you're not doing anything wrong. The truth about neuroplastic healing is that while some people experience rapid improvement, many of us face a slower, more complex journey. After working with countless clients, we've identified several factors that can extend recovery timelines: past trauma, mental health challenges, ongoing social dangers in relationships or work, and the simple fact that long-standing symptoms create deeper neural pathways that take more time to rewire.When most research studies showcase dramatic improvements in just 8 sessions, it's easy to feel discouraged if that's not your experience. But these studies don't capture the full spectrum of healing journeys. Your brain and nervous system are uniquely yours, shaped by your specific life experiences, and they will heal on their own timeline.The hope-disappointment cycle many sufferers experience—getting excited about a new treatment only to be crushed when it doesn't work—can create its own layer of nervous system dysregulation that needs addressing. And when you're working to create safety in a chronically activated nervous system while simultaneously managing anxiety, trauma responses, or challenging life circumstances, healing naturally takes longer.This isn't bad news—it's simply reality. We've seen people heal completely after years of consistent work, even when their initial progress was slow. The key is understanding that you're on your own path, focusing on your unique small wins rather than comparing yourself to others, and addressing all the factors that might be keeping your nervous system in danger mode.Ready to embrace your healing journey with more patience and self-compassion? Subscribe to our podcast for more insights that normalize the complexities of recovery while offering practical guidance for moving forward, no matter how long it takes.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.

Ever wondered why your pain/symptom persists despite countless treatments? The missing piece might be simpler than you think. Tanner and Anne reveal how our tendency to disconnect from uncomfortable bodily sensations actually perpetuates pain and symptom cycles rather than resolving them.Through candid stories about tax scares and zip-lining disasters, they illustrate the dramatic difference between being overwhelmed by sensations versus staying present with them. This isn't just theory—brain scans actually show people with chronic pain have decreased activation in areas that sense the body, while experiencing heightened emotional responses. The result? A brain that misinterprets safe signals as dangerous ones.The hosts break down two essential principles for healing through embodiment: gradual exposure to uncomfortable sensations paired with creating safety signals that keep you connected without becoming overwhelmed. This delicate balance allows your nervous system to recalibrate and recognize when you're truly safe.Whether you've been struggling with persistent pain/symptoms for years or just beginning to notice troubling symptoms, this episode offers practical wisdom for creating a healthier relationship with your body's signals.Ready to start your embodiment journey? The hosts provide free resources to begin practicing these techniques today, guiding you toward a life where sensations no longer trigger fear but offer valuable information for your healing path.This podcast is owned by Pain Psychotherapy Canada Inc.

“We have to move our bodies to tell the brain that it's safe to access certain ranges of motion and interrupt whatever patterns we might be in.” - Julia BlackwellThere's always an emotional component to chronic injuries and illnesses. And part of what causes your body to hold on to these emotions is the feeling of not being safe or being fragile. As rehab and fitness professionals, we often see people after injury and illness battling with internalized ableism, blaming themselves and asking “What did I do wrong? Why can't I fix this on my own?”There's a lot of grief, fear, sadness and anger that can be compounded by the external pressure that many feel from the greater wellness community that if you do everything right, your body should be perfect. That's just not true.We have an opportunity to create safety for our clients. A space for them to release the emotions they've stored physically, without having to dig into the details behind them, and allowing them to move, be safe and be comfortable.Today I'm excited to introduce you to Julia Blackwell, a fascia release practitioner who experienced the lasting impact of fascia release therapy herself and who has helped clients for over 11 years. In today's episode, Julia and I discuss her journey with chronic pain, how discovering fascial release transformed her understanding of healing, how our fascia connects with our physiology and mental health, its impact on movement and pain perception, practical techniques for working with fascia, the importance of dynamic movement and compression, the need to address both physical and emotional components in healing, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/an-innovative-approach-to-healing-chronic-pain-and-trauma-with-active-fascia-release-with-julia-blackwell/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

Body fascia is multi-layered, and it plays an active role in the body. It supports tissues and organs, lessens friction, eases muscle tension, and tightens up reflexively. It also helps your bloodstream, bone tissue, and skeletal muscles.‌  We explore how this overlooked part of our bodies could be the key to unlocking both physical and emotional healing. And to guide us in this journey, we have a very special guest, Alex Novicki. Alex is a bodywork practitioner who has dedicated his career to helping people break free from chronic pain and improve their overall wellbeing. He is here to demystify your fascia, and explain how it connects to everything in our bodies, from our physical muscles, to our inner emotions.

Today, we welcome back a guest from the early days of this podcast, fellow former vegan and esteemed researcher and scientist, Chris Masterjohn. Chris Masterjohn earned his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, and has worked as a postdoctoral research associate and Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences. In 2016, he transitioned to entrepreneurship. These days, Chris conducts independent research, consults, develops information products, and creates free content to help people improve their health. Chris is dedicated to sharing practical principles from complex science, and to the pursuit of truth and continuous learning. He's a biohacker from before the word “biohacking” came to be, appearing on episode 16 of this podcast when I was just getting that movement started, because he not only pays attention to how stuff works in the world and academic research, but he hacks his own body. I've always liked the way he thinks mechanistically about biology, nutrients, and what to eat. In this conversation, we talk about how to recover from veganism and reverse the effects of oxalates, highlighting the long term health impacts of the vegan diet. His own self experimentation lately is of particular interest to me as he's been exploring the intersection of genetics and mitochondrial health to heal niche health conditions and even quell extreme fears or stressors.We also talk about the link between energy metabolism and psychological trauma, chronic pain and oxalate overload, and even explore the potential dangers of methylene blue from his latest 58 page research paper breaking down the importance of correct dosing. If you're a true biohacker, you're going to love this deep dive into how minerals and metabolism play a huge role in our biology.(03:47) Genetic Optimization: A New Approach to Healing Chronic Pain & Disease• How his perspective on nutrition has changed since our first episode• The extreme effects veganism had on his health• Using genetics research to find solutions to rare health issues• The role of AI in diagnosing health conditions—now and in the future• Focusing on mitochondria as the root cause to heal health issues • Access his program: chrismasterjohnphd.com• What will reverse the anti fertility trend?• The psychological rewiring required to heal chronic disease states • Lowering your stress response with GABA and hierarchical exposure therapy• How energy metabolism and psychological trauma symptoms are related(32:08) Recovering from Veganism & Oxalate Overload• Can you do veganism well?• Addressing the impact of plant toxins and oxalates• The link between chronic pain and oxalate overload• How to reverse the effects of oxalates• The use of biotin to clear oxalates and dosing suggestions• Read: Toxic Superfoods by Sally Norton • Oxalate dumping symptoms explained • Advice for recovering vegans• Read: Le Chatelier's principle• Viome: viome.com(01:04:09) Methylene Blue: Potential Dangers & Dosage Recommendations• The dangers of combining methylene blue with ayahuasca and psychedelics• Research conclusions on methylene blue dosing• How methylene blue can impact people with Alzheimer's• Side effects of combining methylene blue with SSRIs• Using methylene blue to help allergy sufferers• ED as a side effect of methylene blueResourcesDave Asprey's NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder' is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: chrismasterjohnphd.comFacebook: facebook.com/chrismasterjohnX: twitter.com/ChrisMasterjohnRumble: rumble.com/user/chrismasterjohnYouTube: youtube.com/user/chrismasterjohnGab: gab.com/chrismasterjohnTelegram: t.me/chrismasterjohnphdGETTR: gettr.com/user/chrismasterjohnPodcast: Everything You Need To Know About Saturated Fat & Cholesterol with Chris Masterjohn #16Podcast: Nicotine, the Perfect Psychotropic?
