Stop Chasing Pain

In this mini episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry explains why better breathing doesn't need to be complicated. Learn how simple awareness, nasal breathing, slowing your breath, and gently lengthening your exhale can help calm an overwhelmed nervous system and shift your body out of fight-or-flight mode. Healing begins with the fundamentals and one intentional breath can be a powerful place to start.

You'll learn why more heat and longer sessions are not always better, how infrared exposure may influence circulation and cellular energy, and why it can be a valuable addition to the fundamentals of healing. Infrared therapy is not a replacement for movement, hydration, nutrition, sleep or medical care but it can help the body create a better internal environment for recovery.

In this episode, Dr. Perry chats with Connie Zack the co-founder of Sunlighten Saunas.

We discuss:

• The differences between far, mid, and near-infrared wavelengths
• Why hotter and more isn't better.
• How infrared therapy may support blood flow, oxygen delivery and nutrient movement
• The relationship between infrared light, mitochondria and cellular energy
• Potential benefits for relaxation, sleep and nervous-system regulation
• How infrared sauna may support exercise recovery and inflammation regulation
• How beginners can start "low and slow" with shorter sessions
• How session length should be adjusted based on health, energy and tolerance
• Why consistency matters more than forcing yourself through an intense session

The goal is not to chase another complicated health intervention. It is to understand how a simple practice helps calm the nervous system, move the fluids, support cellular energy and improve the conditions in which healing can occur.

What if chronic pain is not something you have to manage forever, but something your brain and body can actually unlearn?

In this powerful episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry sits down with Dr. Howard Schubiner to discuss his new book, Unlearn Your Pain: The Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety and Depression. They explore how chronic pain can be driven by learned neural pathways, nervous system sensitization, stress, emotion, and the brain-body connection, not always by damaged tissue.

Dr. Schubiner shares a science-based, compassionate approach to helping people understand their symptoms differently, calm the threat response, and begin creating the conditions for real recovery.

If you or someone you love feels trapped in a cycle of pain, inflammation, fatigue, or fear of movement, this conversation will open a new door. It is a reminder that healing begins when we stop only chasing symptoms and start asking better questions about the nervous system, the brain, and the story the body has learned to protect you with.

Dr. Perry talks with back pain expert, Dr. Eric Goodman creator of the Foundation training program. That program is my favorite one by far for helping people get out of pain and maintain spinal health. In this episode, we talk about the foot and fascia and back pain.

Eric also talks about his new prodcut to help fascial unwinding https://trakgroundwear.com/

I have a pair of these and they are awesome.

Strap in your brain and your feet 😀 and learn how to feel better.

When it comes to chronic pain everything matters, including scars. Why scars? Two big reasons...

1. Neurosensory dysfunction where you have poor communication to the brain from the lack of sensation and pain is the output signal from the brain.
2. Fascial thickening which can influence movement compensations over time leading to pain.

What is the most important thing to know? Check the scars and work the scars. Hope to see you at the webinar.

This episode of the Stop Chasing Pain mini podcast Dr. Perry talks about the Vagus nerve, the most important nerve in the entire body to control inflammation. He shows you what causes vagus dysfunction, and where the Vagus nerve can have some issues. Also some things you can do to feel better. If you wanna learn more about how your body heals itself, this is a great show to listen to.

This episode we talk about the power of deep squat in healing, chronic pain and changing your life with guest Kasey Jackson. Talking about his amazing invention, the Hunkerin Stool that you can use on a daily basis to get into the position that you used to be able to get in as kids. This is a foundational posture for body function and performance. A fantastic episode that will change the way you look at healing pain and feeling good again. Going back down to the deep squat.

Kasey was kind enough to offer our Stop Chasing Pain community a discount on a Hunkerin Stool. See link below and code below.

In this episode, Dr. Perry breaks down why rebounding is more than just jumping on a mini-trampoline. It is a simple, low-impact way to support lymphatic flow, circulation, balance, proprioception, and nervous system regulation.

The body depends on movement, pressure changes, and rhythmic loading to help move fluid through the lymphatic system. Rebounding creates a gentle up-and-down pumping effect that may help stimulate fluid movement, improve tissue oxygenation, and wake up sensory receptors throughout the body.

Dr. Perry also explains how rebounding can influence the brain-body connection by challenging balance, coordination, vestibular input, and foot-to-core integration. Even a few minutes of gentle bouncing can be a powerful way to help the body shift out of stiffness, stagnation, and sympathetic overload.

This episode is a reminder that healing does not always require complex strategies. Sometimes the body needs rhythm, movement, pressure, and play.

Key takeaway: Rebounding is not just exercise. It is a nervous system, lymphatic, circulatory, and proprioceptive reset.

The diaphragm is more than a breathing muscle—it is a pressure-regulating, nervous-system-modulating, fluid-moving powerhouse. When the diaphragm is restricted, weak, over-braced, or poorly coordinated, the body can compensate through the neck, shoulders, low back, pelvic floor, and jaw, creating chronic tension and pain patterns. Poor diaphragm function can alter rib motion, spinal stability, lymphatic drainage, venous return, vagus nerve signaling, and sympathetic "fight-or-flight" tone. In chronic pain, the question is not only "where does it hurt?" but also how is the body breathing, bracing, and managing pressure? That will impact pain.

We always check the diaphragm.
