In episode 146 I speak to the fabulous Dr. Becca Kennedy, a family medicine physician, who discusses her approach to treating chronic pain and fatigue using evidence-based neuroscience.

She emphasizes the mind-body connection, explaining that many medically unexplained symptoms are due to brain signaling rather than structural damage. Kennedy highlights that 30-50% of primary care visits involve medically unexplained symptoms, including chronic pain, migraines, and irritable bowel syndrome.

She stresses the importance of understanding the nervous system's role in these conditions and provides tools like breathing exercises, meditation, and expressive writing to help patients manage and recover from chronic symptoms.
