  • Natasha's CRPS Recovery Story - Now Walking 10,000 Steps Without A Spinal Cord Stimulator
    Feb 6 2026

    In this conversation, Natasha, a nurse and CrossFit athlete, shares her personal recovery journey with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

    She was once unable to walk or even wear a sock, was faced with disability, and was recommended pain management specialists and spinal cord stimulators.

    But now, she's back to working full-time, reporting 80-90% recovery after implementing some simple strategies.

    If you've been told your only options are ketamine infusions, nerve ablations, or a spinal cord stimulator, this interview will show you what's possible with a neurologic approach to CRPS treatment.

  • How Does Alcohol Affect Pain?: The Neuroscience of Short- and Long-Term Effects
    Aug 29 2025

    Many people notice that alcohol seems to “take the edge off” their pain — but what’s really going on in the brain when that happens? And why does it sometimes backfire later?

    This episode breaks down the neuroscience of how alcohol influences pain processing, both in the short term and over time.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    ➡️ Why alcohol can temporarily calm the pain system and create a short-term pain-relieving effect.
    ➡️ The brain and nervous system mechanisms behind alcohol’s interaction with pain pathways.
    ➡️ The long-term consequences of using alcohol for pain relief, including how it can actually worsen sensitivity and pain over time.
    ➡️ Why alcohol is not a sustainable or effective strategy for managing chronic pain.

    Whether you’ve wondered why your pain eases after a drink, or you’re curious about the science behind pain relief, this episode will give you clarity — without the myths or oversimplifications.


    📌 Next Steps: If you’d like to get support and the step-by-step plan, let’s talk.
