On the Podcast blurb Dr Chatterjee said: “Chronic pain isn’t a subject we’ve covered in depth on this podcast before, so I’m very pleased I have the chance to bring this important conversation to you.
“Howard is one of the leading researchers in this field and his work represents a game-changing, paradigm shift in thinking about how we approach this epidemic.
“I hope what you’ll take from this episode is that the power of your brain is immense, and that knowledge is power. I hope you enjoy listening.”
This discovery could be life-changing for millions struggling with conditions ranging from persistent backache to fibromyalgia.
According to recent statistics, chronic pain affects between a third to half of all UK adults, costing the economy billions in lost workdays and healthcare costs.
The podcast episode, which marks the show's first deep dive into chronic pain, reveals that in many cases, there is no ongoing structural damage causing the pain.
Instead, the brain has developed neural pathways that perpetuate the pain cycle, often triggered by stress and emotional trauma.
Dr. Schubiner is the author of "Unlearn Your Pain: A 28-day Process to Reprogram Your Brain.
The episode also addresses how this approach might benefit those suffering from other persistent conditions, including anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and long Covid.
For the millions of Britons who have tried countless treatments without success, this new perspective offers fresh hope. The episode is available now on all major podcast platforms.
