How to Become Pain Free With Neuroscience Not Drugs

Pain and the brain have a nuanced relationship.  Pain can stem from biological, behavioral, and social situations that we are not even aware of.

And what’s even more fascinating, especially if you have chronic pain, is that pain can be eliminated and pain tolerance can be trained.

In this conversation with Dr Eric Anderson, a neurologist at Lin Health, we go into how everyone, especially runners can change their relationship with pain and even eliminate chronic pain.

We go over:

Why chronic and acute pain are different in the brain

How to train your pain tolerance and eliminate triggers, and

How your nervous system is directly connected to the amount of pain you feel

And if you’d like to experience one way of brain training for when running gets hard, I’ve made something just for you.  It’s called the Readiness Reset and you can get it for free right now. It's a 7-minute audio that combines guided visualization with cognitive conditioning, designed to train the exact response you need when running gets hard.  Head to theplantedrunner.com/reset,
