Is it possible for a person who stubs their toe to feel more pain than someone who breaks their foot!? YES. Wow. 

This week on the LOW TOX LIFE podcast, we take a deep dive into PAIN with our guest Ananda Mahony, who is a highly experienced practitioner who holds a Bachelor of Science in Naturopathy, a Graduate Diploma in nutrition and a Master of Medicine (majoring in Pain) and cover: 

  • What pain IS. 
  • What brings it on and makes it as mild or severe an experience as it is for someone.
  • How our nervous system impacts our pain experience
  • Gender research and the differences in the pain experience
  • How dietary inflammation compounds the pain experience 
  • How pain management/treatment is changing 
  • The building of your own personal pain ‘map’ as a key to moving forward
  • How a scan result can impact the pain experience - this one will blow your mind! 
  • Connection and purpose as pain relief? What the science says

Big show. Helpful show. Hope you love it + pass it on to those who need it, Alexx, your host x
