What Western Medicine Gets Wrong About Chronic Pain with Dr Stephen Hussey | EP 507

What if your chronic pain has nothing to do with where it hurts? Dr. Stephen Hussey — chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner and author of Pain Sense — returns to the show to explain why most chronic pain is a brain problem, not a tissue problem, and what that means for the millions of people stuck in a cycle of pain medication that never actually works. On this episode we covered: Why people born without the ability to feel pain don't live very long The two distinct pathways through which pain becomes chronic The fascinating World War II study that proved your interpretation of pain changes how much of it you actually feel Why opioids can never truly fix chronic pain — and the real reason they're so addictive How past emotional trauma can wire your brain to produce pain signals with zero physical damage occurring in the body The body voltage theory: what inflammation, oxidative stress and acidity all have in common --- FIND OUT WHAT'S REALLY DRIVING YOUR CRAVINGS WITH THIS 30-SECOND 'FOOD NOISE' QUIZ! --- Subscribe to our YOUTUBE Channel Follow us on INSTAGRAM *** Where to find DR.
