The Science of Pain with Dr. Andrea Moore

We are thrilled to have our first-ever guest interview this week on the podcast! Joining us is Dr. Andrea Moore, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist, a Nutritional Therapist, and a Life Coach. Andrea's entire career path used to be based on trying to fix everything she felt was wrong with her- from chronic pain, bloating, gas, post-concussive syndrome, brain fog, anxiety, depression, PMS, and ADD.....all by the age of 26! However, she refused to accept these as her norm. But, trying to get better and healthy felt exhausting, restricting, and impossible. While it took her years of exhausting work, she learned crucial lessons and skills that now allow her to help remove the mental load and burden off others on their journey to living a life that is not restricted by pain. She has devoted her life to helping others heal from chronic pain and understand the function of pain in our lives. Is pain useful? How does the body recognize and process pain? What is the deal with chronic pain? How could understanding pain help you work through fear around food? We discuss all of these topics and more. Whether you suffer from chronic or intermittent pain, this episode is full of encouraging and insightful information!
