When Jonah Primo, host of the in-app podcast Work in Progress on the WAKING UP app contacted us, Lisa and I were elated. We are long time fans of WAKING UP and its founder, neuroscientist Sam Harris, and we were enthusiastic about sharing space with such a like-minded person. But that was just the beginning. Jonah's own pain story was stunning, and we quickly jumped on the chance to have him on our podcast to tell his tale of complete despair to recovery using the mindset and tools of MindBody medicine. After being a totally health and athletic 27-year-old, Jonah found himself so swallowed by a laundry list of symptoms that he quite literally struggled to walk. As he became skeptical of the medical model to cure his pain, he turned in our direction and the rest is history. Join us for a striking tale of recovery from some of the most common (yet most terrifying) symptoms we hear about - vertigo, migraines, anxiety, and the dreaded Long Covid. I know you will get so much out of what we discuss. Much love! xoxo n.

Bri really went through it. Her myriad TMS symptoms cascaded into panic attacks so severe that she had to put her entire life on hold (including her marriage), take her kids, and move in with her mother to be taken care of. This is not an unusual story. As I always remind you, although TMS is completely curable with my methods, the pain IS NOT in your head. You are not dramatic, overly sensitive, or making it up. Bri was sidelined pretty severely before learning about Dr. Sarno, and then me. On that day, her life changed. Walk with us as we share an incredible and inspiring story of total chronic pain recovery. And Bri has some pretty great advice for all of us at the end.

Sending you all so much love. This is hard work, but you can do it. You can be free. xx, n.

The way I found Manon (and she found me!) is nothing short of amazing. After suffering with persistent headaches for weeks on end, Manon was at a breaking point. Although she was relieved that the expensive brain scan had come back negative, the panic and suffering the headaches brought was too much for her to bear. Manon was not sure she could go on living. Typing "chronic pain" into her podcast search, she came across this very show, and for the first time in a long while allowed herself to have hope. But her story does not end there! It has a fun twist that even made it into my upcoming book, MIND YOUR BODY. Join us as we tell the whole tale, complete with a reading from Chapter Two that gives you a peek into the magic and the lesson on brain science that followed. XOOX n.
