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?          Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3495 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Jon O'Brien and Chris Martin celebrate five years of podcasting while diving into a critical topic: opioid awareness and pain management in the context of surgery. They are joined by Brand Newland, the CEO and co-founder of Goldfinch Health, who brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective on how to navigate the challenges associated with opioid prescriptions following surgery.Brand begins by addressing the opioid crisis, emphasizing the need for a shift in how we approach pain management, particularly in surgical settings. He shares insights from his experience as a pharmacist and discusses the founding of Goldfinch Health in 2018, which aims to improve the surgical experience by advocating for better pain management practices that reduce reliance on opioids.The conversation highlights the importance of multimodal pain management strategies, which include using non-opioid medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, as well as innovative approaches such as the TLC method (Tylenol, Lyrica, and Celebrex) to manage pain effectively before and after surgery. Brand explains how these methods can lead to quicker recovery times and fewer complications, ultimately allowing patients to return to work sooner—an average of 35 days faster than national benchmarks.Jon and Chris share their personal experiences with opioid prescriptions, illustrating the common issue of being prescribed excessive amounts of pain medication post-surgery. Brand reassures listeners that there are alternatives and encourages them to advocate for themselves and their loved ones when it comes to pain management.The episode also touches on the financial implications of better pain management practices, with Brand discussing a recent study that shows a significant return on investment for employers who implement Goldfinch's programs. This is particularly relevant for those in the construction industry, where physical labor is a daily reality, and managing pain effectively can lead to improved productivity and overall well-being.As the discussion progresses, Brand introduces the concept of enhanced recovery protocols and the importance of preparing for surgery in a way that minimizes pain and anxiety.

“Raghav's expression for discomfort is laughter, counterintuitively. We call it his cranky laughter.” Sanath RameshImagine not being able to tell the people around that you are in pain. Or more accurately, imagine that you have no way of telling whether your child is in pain. If that child is usually happy and laughing, imagine your horror when you figure out that laughter means “ow.”For Brittany, while Evie can tell her when she is in pain, Evie is so used to the pain that she may not even mention it until it is extreme. And sometimes that is too late to avert a crisis.Pain management is a very difficult problem in the best of circumstances. For Sanath and Ramya, it gets even more complicated. The treatments they have found that work tend to lose effectiveness after a while. And sometimes, the rebound pain seems worse.In this episode, Sanath opens up about their relentless struggle to keep Raghav comfortable and the extreme toll it takes on everyone in the family.

A revolution in pain management has arrived. The FDA's approval of Suzetrigine in January 2025 introduces the first non-opioid analgesic for moderate to severe pain in over twenty years. This breakthrough medication targets the voltage-gated sodium channel, NAV1.8, effectively blocking pain signals at their source before they reach the brain.What makes Suzetrigine remarkable is its precision. With over 30,000-fold selectivity for NAV1.8 channels, it delivers powerful analgesia without affecting the brain or heart, eliminating addiction risk, and minimizing side effects. Clinical trials involving over 2,100 patients demonstrated pain relief comparable to opioid-acetaminophen combinations but with a safety profile similar to placebo. For the more than 50% of surgical patients who experience moderate to severe postoperative pain, this non-addictive alternative represents a genuine breakthrough. Looking ahead, an exciting pipeline of additional NAV1.8 channel blockers, including intravenous formulations, promises to further transform perioperative pain management.Have you struggled with limited options for managing your patients' postoperative pain? Subscribe to the Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast for more on groundbreaking developments like Suzetrigine that are changing how we approach patient care and safety.

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

In this episode, we discuss the evidence, safety, and place in therapy of Journavx® (suzetrigine), a newly approved analgesic with a unique non-opioid mechanism of action and additional considerations for its use. Key Concepts Suzetrigine is a first in its class NaV1.8 sodium channel blocker approved for short-term (14 days or less) pain relief in adults with moderate-to-severe pain. Unlike opioids, suzetrigine is non-sedating and non-dependence forming. Suzetrigine is taken as a whole pill without cutting, crushing, or chewing following a particular dosing schedule where the first dose is taken on an empty-stomach.  The most common side effects of suzetrigine include pruritus, muscle spasms, increased CPK, rash, and transient (reversible) eGFR decrease. Suzetrigine goes through CYP3A metabolism and therefore has significant interactions with CYP3A inducers and inhibitors. Use with strong inhibitors and moderate to strong inducers is not recommended. Dose reduction of suzetrigine is required if used with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A.  Although not formally adopted in a guideline recommendation, suzetrigine's current place in therapy can be moderate-to-severe acute pain relief in adult patients after NSAIDs/APAP options are exhausted, but before or in place of opioid therapy.  References Bertoch T, D'Aunno D, McCoun J, et al.
