In this very first episode of Beyond The Pain, I flip the script and share my story through the lens of a powerful conversation with Stretch Rainer on his Midlife Mavericks podcast. Together, we explore the real reason I’ve rebranded the podcast and why chronic pain deserves to take centre stage.

I open up about my personal journey from partying in Ibiza to becoming a leading voice in holistic pain recovery, and how my own brush with debilitating pain reshaped my identity—and my life's mission. We dig into why so many people are stuck in pain despite seeing physios, chiropractors, or even having surgery, and how real healing requires going far deeper.

We explore:

• The emotional toll of losing your identity to pain
• Why traditional approaches often miss the mark
• How nutrition, biomechanics, and nervous system regulation all play a role
• And how chronic pain might just be your body’s way of calling for your attention

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do about it.
