Today, we'll unpack some of the mechanisms that drive chronic pain with a special focus on how dietary factors, microbiome imbalances and the nervous system play a role in the development of pain. My guest today is Ananda Mahony, a naturopath with a special interest in helping people struggling with arthritis to endometriosis, to digestive pain, or any condition where pain is a predominant feature. She has developed programs for groups and individuals to help resolve chronic pain and get back into life. Ananda has completed a master's degree in pain management.
