What if chronic pain isn't a problem your body is failing to fix—but a nervous system that's forgotten how to feel safe? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Hanscom to explore the science behind chronic pain, neuroplasticity, stress physiology, and mind-body healing. We discuss why persistent pain often has more to do with the brain than damaged tissues, and how simple daily practices can help retrain the nervous system and restore long-term health.
