Could a pen, a piece of paper and the act of self expression be the solution to your pain?

In this episode I discuss the value of writing and reflecting on your life and the events surrounding your pain. We have a tremendous capacity to brush things off and to keep moving. It’s what makes us so resilient and adaptable. However, it can lead to us ignoring or missing important patterns in our behaviours.

I learned that by better understanding my behaviour, tendencies and ways of coping that I could better understand my role in perpetuating my pain and the steps I could take to make progress.

End screen song: 'Paper Moon' by Plini

In this episode I share an insider's view on the truth about nutritional supplements for joint pain. I share why in most cases they are a waste of time and money, how they can actually make things worse, and what are some better alternatives.

Jay Feldman joins me to discuss the shortcomings of the Chemical Imbalance Theory of depression. We discuss a more physiologically sound theory of depression that acknowledges physiological stress as the root cause.

With this shift in perspective we hope to show that individuals hold control of their mental and emotional state and that they can influence it without the reliance on questionable drugs. We also offer tools and food for thought to help you better navigate your mental health.
