Beyond The Pain

In this episode of Beyond the Pain, I sit down with Chiropractor Jason Gilbert for a powerful conversation about what pain really is, how to uncover its true root causes, and how to eliminate it through a truly holistic approach. We explore why taking responsibility for your actions and being willing to make the necessary — and sometimes challenging — lifestyle changes is essential to alleviating pain and reclaiming your quality of life.A quick note: Jason’s internet connection wasn’t the most stable during our chat, so the audio and video fade a little at times, and I did need to cut out some sections. But the insights he shares are absolutely worth staying with, and I look forward to welcoming him back on the show in the future for a clearer, even deeper conversation.You can find Jason @:https://jasongilbert.com.auhttps://www.instagram.com/jasongilbertofficial/ You can find Leigh @:Leigh's website - ⁠https://www.bodychek.co.uk/⁠Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - ⁠https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/⁠Leigh's courses:StickAbility - ⁠https://stickabilitycourse.com/⁠Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - ⁠https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/⁠
