# 397 - Heal chronic pain without meds - Dr Howard Schubiner

Dr Schuboner's books : https://amzn.to/3wNN75O Chronic pain is an enormous problem across the entire population of the world, and anyone who has experienced pain beyond a period of several days will speak of its debilitating effects on their life. Existing pain management models are exactly that, management models, and this can involve years of prescription pain medications which can bring their own issues and negative health effects. Today I speak with a pain specialist and author of Unlearn your pain, Dr Howard Schubiner who has developed a pain model to help treat patients with chronic pain, not by managing the pain but in many cases by eliminating it entirely. In this episode we define what pain is and learn that pain is in fact processed in the brain. We hear that in many many cases pain exists in the absence of physical injury or structural anomaly. Discover that with chronic headaches for example, in most cases theres nothing physically wrong with the sufferer. We learn of the relationship between the growing prevalance of back pain and the rise in anxiety and depression. Expect to learn of the link between poor self image and chronic pain. We discuss the connection between childhood trauma and illness in later life including the presence of chronic pain. We also hear about the research studies Dr Schubiner and colleagues have been carrying out which shows that chronic pain can be eliminated without medication. Dr Schubiner is a pioneer in what can only be described as an extremely exciting and potentially transformative area of medicine and healing, I hope you enjoy this conversation.

He's the Chief Talent Scientist at Manpower Group, a company focused on workforce solutions. He also serves as a professor of business psychology at University College London and Columbia University. He's also the author of multiple books including: Why do so many incompetent men become leaders. We can all relate to working for someone whos in a leadership role who is awful at their job. The very fact that they managed to land the position is a source of mystery and often frustration to us. But these people, often men hold leadership roles in every walk of life, from the boardroom to politics. In this episode we ask how these people do it, how do they rise up the ladder, how do they fool people into believing they are competent when in reality they are the opposite. Find out what the traits of a good leader are and learn why women have an advantage when it comes to these traits. We discuss how leadership in the past was more egalitarian than today. We hear why people are drawn towards charistmatic leaders who give off an air of competence and certainty, we saw a great example of this during the pandemic, but giving off an air of competence is not the same as being competent. Discover how good leaders are able to go against their instincts and can embrace openmindedness. Learn how to identify if your boss or even you are a narcissist, and find out how AI is making us even more narcissistic. Plus we talk about the role confidence plays in our lives socially and professionally and how we can harness it to become better version of ourselves.

# 392 - Eating your way to cancer - Prof Thomas Seyfried

Prof Thomas N. Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. He has been very vocal about the medical community's approach to researching and treating cancer, which he believes has been taken the wrong path of focusing too heavily on genetic mutations.
