Check out my website at thoughtbythoughthealing.com if you are looking for help to start your healing journey from chronic symptoms.
Today I had the honor of having David Hanscom, MD with me. He was a spinal surgeon for 32 years and now helps people recover from chronic back pain through non- surgical means and by understanding the body and mind are one unit.
Through understanding threat physiologic and the inflammation the brain causes, we can reverse chronic pain and stop diseases.
In today's talk, he discusses practicing joy, the threat physiology response of anger and anxiety, why he quit spine surgery and answers some of the questions my watchers had asked in advance. He also discusses chronic inflammation of the body.
He also talks about:
Threat physiology (4:55)
Success (or not) of spine surgery (10:40)
Forgiveness (36:30)
Dealing with anger with his method called 5,3,2 (37:30)
The 2 parts of healing (39:20)
Prehab for surgery (42:30)
Connecting to your disbelief (43:30)
Becoming a professional at living life (45:50)
How to distinguish neuroplastic pain from structural pain (47:00)
Degenerative changes such as bulges discs, bone spurs, herniations, degenerative arthritis. (47:25)
The ability to halt autoimmune diseases (55:15)
He also discusses degenerative disc disease, bulged discs, herniations, (47:25) and how there is no data showing they cause pain. He also discusses halting autoimmune diseases including ankylosing spondylitis, (55:)
Send me an email at thoughtbythoughthealing.com if you want a copy of his pdf regarding expressive writing. It's fantastic!

Jen, Thank you so much! The information you are presenting is just what I was seeking, especially because you present through a Christian perspective.

The part where he gives simple, easy to implement things to do to stimulate the vagus nerve and subsequently lower the stress response in our bodies was wonderful!

Thanks to you I've just 'met' Dr Hanscom. I hung on every word he said. I'm going to binge on all of his resources, incl his books. Thank you so much. This resonates with me.

This was an amazing interview. Love the way he explains and his examples. Anyone who is “collecting evidence” for TMS in whatever condition you have…this is a good one!

Although Dr Hanscom is very informative and probably correct in everything he says, I found his interview very triggering for anxiety and TMS symptoms. This is because after a year of taking on board Sarnos theory of TMS being non serious and not inflammatory now David tells us that all pain is inflammatory and is definitely dangerous. So now my anxiety is up

Best interview I've seen yet on this topic. More information than I can process so I guess I'll have to watch it again.

Thank you! The last part of this interview give me so much hope, that by doing mind body work we can be healed from autoimmune diseases( by decreasing inflammation we can change the physiology).

Excelente entrevista! Todas las personas con TMS deberían verla! Yo leí el libro del Doctor Hanscom, y recomiendo mucho su lectura. Hay muchísima gente sufriendo de dolor crónico que no tienen acceso a esta información

"He also discusses degenerative disc disease, bulged discs, herniations, (47:25) and how there is no data showing they cause pain." So I listened to this I don't know how there is a lack of data when it is easy to demonstrate. Is the problem the gathering of the data? I can trigger pain by putting pressure where my disc-bulge pinches my nerves.

If you’re wondering if your pain is neuroplastic, take the pain test on my website. I could manually trigger my pain before I addressed my healing with mind body pain too. But it turns out it was still not structural. But if you’re not curious if your pain is mind body, no worries. Not everyone is interested in this type of conversation.

@@ThoughtByThoughtHealing His lecture was informative but too me still scattered and complicated.. Stimulat the vagus nerve etc. Also writing it down makes it worst..

@jeanscott5927 19 күн бұрын

Jen you need to break it down what the surgeon is saying and make it more simple were hearing how its all connected but not how by example to fix it

@ThoughtByThoughtHealing 18 күн бұрын

Yeah - some podcasts are more meant to inform - to help people understand and believe the science of mind body syndrome. This episode was that- less about what to do about it or what the work looks like :)
