Functional Nutrition and Pain with Dr. Joe Tatta

Joe Tatta, PT runs the Integrative Pain Science Institute. I have learned so much from Joe through his teachings and podcast “Healing Pain”.

Did you know there is an undeniable connection between nutrition, inflammation, and pain?

The signs of chronic inflammation are less prominent than those of acute inflammation. It’s harder to pinpoint the pain and cause of the inflammation, and the onset is much slower, often taking place over days and months.

However, we now know that many chronic inflammatory conditions originate from an unhealthy diet.

Those who consume the Standard American Diet (SAD) are more prone to elevations of blood sugar and HbA1c, and higher levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), also known as “bad cholesterol.”

This can lead to chronic inflammation and physical pain that is difficult to treat through conventional treatment modalities, leaving people frustrated by their lack of progress.

Let’s learn about managing chronic pain by adopting an anti-inflammatory diet.

Managing Anxiety in Chronic Pain with Madeleine Eames

Anxiety and pain go together, they have to. We are wired to pay attention to pain for protection, and this is going to create tension. Learn how to spot anxiety in mind and body and practice tools including breathing, to the calm the nervous system and calm the pain response.

Check it out: are you breathing? Do you breath-hold, or breathe in a short and shallow way? Our breathing patterns can tell us a lot about our nervous system, our anxiety and how we are relating to life and our pain.

Learn how changing your breathing pattern can affect your anxiety and pain experience and be ready for some deeper, relaxing practices.
