Paul says that the science of aches, pains, and injuries is surprisingly weird, controversial, and interesting, and his job is to translate it for both patients and pros. In his writing, he works to make it friendlier than the institutional health care sites, but more scholarly and detailed than most health blogs. My own experience on painscience.com was shocking....I was shocked at how gullible I have been over these many years.  It was humbling to find several “areas of no doubt” ….of ”universal truths”, I thought ….that are actually based on repeated anecdote and faith in authority instead of scientific fact.  I always thought that I was skeptical but it turned out I was a sucker for a well-articulated, logical explanation.  Listen in to discover your own pain solutions that will really work for you.

He's also a reluctant runner and, until very recet retirement, an avid ultimate player (the Frisbee sport) with a long list of his own sports injuries and pain problems. https://www.painscience.com https://www.painscience.com/about.php  https://www.painscience.com/about-paul-ingraham.php 

Listen in as Matt and I explore his knowledge of the psychology of suffering...or dealing with discomfort in sport. Few people manage to reach their potential because they don't know how to find the limits. They quit on themselves. And they regret it.

Rym Selmi, the inventory of Miiro Chocolate. The Latin miro, means “To Wonder.” Miiro Chocolate is all about helping people rediscover the carefree childlike wonder that makes life so special. www.miiro.co I have found that I am able to restrict myself from eating “bad” foods quite well.  But I have begun to think I do not have a good balance between my health, athletic performance goals and …for lack of a better word….“enjoying myself”. The key, I’ve been thinking, is to find a way to not suffer so much. To find a way to have healthier foods around me that I can have when I want but that are not engineered to make me lose control. So that I can find some sort of balance between healthiness and fitness AND having enjoyment in my food. When I heard about Miiro Chocolate, a low-sugar but delicious chocolate, I thought I might have found what I was looking for...but I found so much more.
