Make It Hurt So Good: Managing Pain, Stress, & Trauma with Dan Carter


Listen Later

Today I’m talking nerdy with Dan Carter again and this time we’re diving into the neurophysiology of pain: physical, mental, and emotional. This episode is less of a conversation and more of a masterclass where Dan will teach you about the biopsychosocial factors that influence pain, how our nervous systems and stress perceive pain, the relationship between pain, stress, and trauma, and most importantly how to manage our levels of pain physically and psychologically. 

The last conversation that I had with Dan on Talk Nerdy To Me was about the ripple effects of childhood trauma and this one is a continuation of that in some regards. Because this episode will dive into trauma related concepts, sensitive listeners should be advised. 

Dan Carter has been coaching for 13 years while also running regular education workshops and programs for gyms, studios, personal trainers, and allied health professionals in the areas of strength, functional movement, mindset and nutrition. He has created and facilitated professional development workshops to gyms all over Australia, as well as learning and sharing with industry leaders across the globe. Dan is the founder and Head Coach of Revamp Integrated Health, specializing in combining traditional wisdom with a personalized, evidence-informed approach across the pillars of movement, insight, and nutrition to help you find the capacity to reconnect with and express your authentic self.

Before you dive in, I would love it if you could hit pause and leave us a 5 star review and a written review on whatever platform you’re listening on. In doing so, you help get this podcast into the ears and brains of more people like you.
