In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Katie Lain for a powerful conversation about alcohol, family patterns, and the complicated truth about what healing from addiction can actually look like.They dive into the neuroscience of alcohol use and the way it hijacks the brain's reward system, challenging the outdated narrative that addiction is simply a lack of willpower. Katie shares her personal experience and introduces the Sinclair Method, a treatment approach that uses naltrexone to gradually reduce alcohol cravings—without requiring total abstinence from day one.Lyndsay and Katie also talk about the emotional layers of drinking: early exposure, social pressure, generational trauma, and the quiet shame that keeps so many people stuck. This episode is about choice, compassion, and giving yourself permission to explore recovery in a way that feels honest and sustainable.Tune in if you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol—or if you're ready to let go of the idea that healing only counts if it looks a certain way.Find Katie Lain Online Here:Website: thrivealcoholrecovery.comInstagram: @thrivealcoholrecoveryFacebook: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryLinkedIn: Katie LainYouTube: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryPodcast: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryFind 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 Alcoholism(02:06) Personal Stories of Alcohol and Family Influence(06:12) Understanding Alcohol Addiction and the Brain(10:16) The Sinclair Method Explained(15:17) The Journey to Recovery and Finding Freedom(20:08) The Challenges of Alcohol Consumption and Social Norms(24:42) Advocacy and Awareness for the Sinclair Method(28:39) Low Dose Naltrexone and Pain Management

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. I'm truly so grateful for every client who's placed their faith in me and who I've been able to help get back to doing what they love most over the past two decades. They're the reason I do this work! In addition to being an energy healer for chronic pain, I'm also a science geek and love reading research. My books cover holistic care techniques that actually work, and the evidence behind them. Core purpose/passion: The mission of Healing Lab is to see Energy Healing integrated into mainstream medical practice and to see it covered by insurance in the same way that acupuncture is becoming. We know there is modern science behind energy healing even if we don't fully understand all the mechanisms yet.

Bursitis is one of those conditions that's often brushed aside with a cortisone shot and a pat on the back. But is that really healing—or just a quick way to silence symptoms? In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane takes a bold look at how the Pilates community can do better for clients by addressing the real root causes of bursitis: poor mechanics, lack of movement variability, and ignoring the body's natural signals. Katie challenges the over-reliance on cortisone injections, unpacks the critical difference between natural and synthetic cortisol, and makes the case for fascia hydration, movement diversity, and listening to pain as valuable feedback. Beyond the physical, she digs into why community and emotional support are just as essential in the healing process. This conversation is part education, part reality check—inviting Pilates professionals to step away from band-aid solutions and lean into the body's wisdom, resilience, and true capacity for recovery. Key Takeaways Healing doesn't come from quick fixes—it comes from addressing root causes. Cortisone injections may shut you up, but they don't set you free. Bursitis is less about “bad luck” and more about mechanics and movement. Pilates offers a powerful path to restore function and resilience. Pain is not the enemy—it's feedback the body needs us to hear. Fascia health depends on hydration and varied movement. Community and emotional support are non-negotiable in recovery. Educated decisions—not shortcuts—lead to lasting change. Special Offers Just for You! FREE Gift Workshop: Start deepening your practice today!

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks Xavier Roman shared his journey of discovering his healing abilities at age five, when he healed a crying mother and child by channeling a white light. He recounted his near-death experience during appendicitis surgery, where he observed the operation and brought himself back to life. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/xavier-roman Highlights from today's episode include: Xavier discovered his healing abilities as a child and continued to develop them, often helping others without revealing his gift. Xavier explains a near-death experience profoundly shaped his understanding of healing, and he now demonstrates his energy healing process to help others, as shown during the podcast. Manon reflects on the healing process, emphasizing the importance of the healer-client relationship and the integration of energetic and traditional therapies for holistic health. ABOUT XAVIER ROMAN: My name is Xavier, and I can heal people facing any physical, emotional, or mental health concerns with in-person and distance healing. My healing abilities emerged at age five and heightened when my mom was in a near-death car accident. That experience allowed me to use my healing capabilities to support her healing journey. My gift of channeling energy to heal became stronger after I experienced an NDE & Near-Death Experience; during emergency surgery in July 2010. I flat lined, witnessed my surgery, and heard the surgeon and assistants as they scattered to bring me back to life. Since then, my body and mind healing techniques have continued to strengthen and emerge. I've met with and continue to help people on a national basis. People with chronic pain, undiagnosed and diagnosed health issues, mental health issues, and more. I've also supported individuals who were told they would pass away due to various medical conditions and restored them back to stable health conditions. Although I've never announced my healing abilities at great lengths to others, I've been guided to do so now. I truly feel called to connect with those needing healing more than ever. People may think you need to be a saint or a mystical figure to perform healing. However, I have been presented with this gift and have received thousands of testimonials from my clients on transformations that have occurred through and after healing sessions with me. I welcome the billions of people on this planet to have hope and welcome the power of energy healing into their lives.

Dr. Meyers specializes in peak performance, neuro-plasticity, and self-actualization and fulfillment, leading seminars and retreats focused on innovative, integrative approaches. He teaches internationally on topics including rehabilitation, resilience, yoga and Ayurveda, acupuncture, somatic practices, psychedelics, archetypes, and the transformative power of music. His journey as a healer has been influenced deeply by the wisdom of spiritual traditions including the Abrahamic lineage--Sufism, Judaism, and Christianity, as well as Buddhism, yogic and syncretic traditions. A profound awakening in 2003 opened him to non-dual awareness and years of exploration with indigenous and church-based plant medicine traditions in South America. These experiences catalyzed archetypal and prophetic insights and connection to lineages including the Divine Mother and the Holy Grail. Dr. Meyers holds certificates in Psychedelic Therapies and Research from CIIS, Family Constellations, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and biodynamic osteopathy. He is a certified firewalking instructor, and has co-directed Dharma Mittra's Life of a Yogi Teacher Training and teaches in Jeff Carreira's Mystery School. Blending science, spirituality, and art, Dr. Meyers is excited to guide individuals and groups toward healing, self-realization, and expanded human potential. His new book with collage artist Jody Smith--Secrets from the Heart of Yoga: New Yoga Sutras--will be out this fall. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to receive and share the Joy that is at the Heart of the Creation and healing, and is expressed through all of the Creation-- especially accessible through music and art, and to use this as a modality for solace and healing.

Christina sits down with Dr. Michele Ross to talk about 7-OH, a new substance that's closely connected to kratom. They unpack what it is, why people are using it, and what it could mean for pain management and addiction recovery. The conversation also looks at the FDA's response, the push for medical freedom, and why education and responsible use matter so much with plant medicines like this one. They also explore the risks of banning substances and driving them into the underground market, where people lose access to safety and quality.

In this solo episode, Dr. Tom Walters breaks down thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)—a condition caused by compression of the nerves and blood vessels as they pass from the neck into the arm. He begins with an introduction to the condition and explains the difference between neurogenic and vascular TOS, highlighting key symptoms that require urgent medical referral. Dr. Walters then discusses how to differentiate TOS from cervical radiculopathy, a common source of confusion in clinical practice, focusing on symptom distribution, aggravating positions, and relevant clinical tests. Finally, he outlines the most effective physical therapy interventions for neurogenic TOS, including postural retraining, mobility work, scapular strengthening, breathing strategies, and activity modification. This episode is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about the anatomy, diagnosis, and rehab management of TOS, from clinicians to patients dealing with upper extremity pain and dysfunction.

After enduring 20 orthopedic surgeries and a knee replace, plus years of chronic pain, Todd Bailey and his family discovered something the pharmaceutical industry wants to keep hidden—a low-cost, naturally occurring compound that outperformed opioids without the devastating side effects. In this explosive conversation, Todd reveals how DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a tree extract used daily in hospitals, became the foundation for his family's mission at Herbal Mana to help people "Hurt Less and Live More." What You'll Discover in this Episode: Why DMSO is used daily in hospitals but demonized for public use How a post-surgery revelation led to pain relief that lasted hours instead of minutes How to use pharmaceutical-grade DMSO safely for yourself and your pets The vibrational difference between natural healing and synthetic pharmaceuticals Why essential oils accumulate benefits over time while opioids lose effectiveness Hidden toxins in supplements that could be poisoning your recovery The DMSO Cover-Up Exposed: Discover the shocking truth behind why DMSO is simultaneously used hundreds of times daily in hospitals while being demonized for public use. Todd reveals how naturally occurring substances can't be patented or controlled, leading to systematic suppression despite proven effectiveness. Learn why the FDA approves DMSO for medical procedures while claiming it has "no uses" for everyday pain relief, and how this regulatory double standard protects pharmaceutical profits at the expense of human suffering. Beyond Human Healing: Discover how to safely extend your pet's lifespan using the same natural principles, plus the disturbing parallels between declining human and animal health in our toxic system.

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
Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Suzanne: Thank you for your time in advance. In late 2021, my husband was diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer. He underwent six rounds of chemo along with Eligard injections. After his last scans, whole body and bone, we were told the cancer is "stabilized". He is currently on 300 mg of Nubeqa 2x a day (down from 4 x because I asked about it) and Lupron injections every 3 months. We have consciously changed our diet (no added sugar, no alcohol, no processed foods) and he is doing pretty well, although, he does fatigue and sweat easily. My question is whether you believe that taking a couple of your home tests would be beneficial for him? I worry about these powerful drugs he is being given and have noticed a reluctance from the doctor about reducing his drugs any further. Thank you again! Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I recently went for blood work. I fasted for 14 hours and was wondering what your thoughts are specifically regarding my Lipid Panel and Iron Panel. My triglycerides is 1.83, Total 4.05, HDL 1.72 and LDL 1.63 (all mmol/L). For iron my levels are 37 umol/L, iron binding 0.70 umol/L, and ferritin 44 ugL. My Dr says she's concerned with my triglycerides. How can I lower it? And shes concerned with my ferritin and iron levels so shes sending me for a Hemochromatosis blood test to see why the levels are off. (My fasting glucose is 4.9, hbA1c is 5.2, TSH is 1.04 and Auto CBC is 3.8). Would love your thoughts and any food and supplementation recommendations would be appreciated! Love you and all the best to everyone on their health journey! Madhia: Hello My Dr is giving me a hard time to prescribe MRI for my breast exam. Do you have any Dr you can recommend that would help me in greater Los Angeles area? Margie: My son, who is 46 years old has had Alpha-Gal for approximately 10 years. Now his wife has also been diagnosed with it. I am aware it is caused by a tick bite. He constantly has mass cell inflammation including breathing and allergy issues. Could you please explain specifically how this disease affects the body's immune system and which of your protocols should be used to bring the body back into balance. Will that particular protocol bring the body back into balance enough so that it will relieve the mass cell inflammation and they can return to eating mammal meat? Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all that you do. You have made a tremendous impact in my and my clients lives. My husband has just finally been diagnosed after 10 years of misdiagnosis with neurogenic TOS. We have a great rehab team working on the biomechanics and we are exploring Big 5 root causes. I was wondering what natural pain management methods you would recommend during the process pain is 10/10 and conventional medicines wants to basically kill the nerve or put him on Lyrica which neither are an option for us. We are exploring accupuncture, grounding and adrenal sooth/inflammasoothe/cbd protocol. Any other alternative inflammation reduction techniques or devices you would recommend? Could you do a podcast on natural pain management strategies for people with chronic pain?
