In this episode, I explore a wide range of approaches to managing chronic pain—from nutritional strategies and supplements to bodywork, therapy, and more. This is not medical advice, but rather a collection of resources and out-of-the-box ideas for those who feel like they’ve tried everything and are still searching for relief. I understand that feeling deeply.
I’ve been there myself while recovering from chronic Lyme disease, and I know how overwhelming it can be. With a Master’s degree in Therapeutic Herbalism and Integrative Nutrition from Maryland University of Integrative Health, I combine my education and lived experience to offer insights that may help illuminate new paths for healing.
If you’re navigating chronic pain, I hope this episode offers comfort, hope, and practical ideas to consider. You are not alone. Please feel free to send in your questions—I’ll do my best to answer them or connect you with someone who can.
From my heart to yours,
Greta
