The Pain Free Formula

In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey challenges long-held beliefs about chronic pain and introduces a groundbreaking perspective: that persistent pain may not stem solely from injury or dysfunction in the body, but from the brain’s emotional and sensory responses.Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, she explores how specific brain circuits—notably in the amygdala—may amplify the emotional sting of pain, even when the physical cause has healed. You'll hear about new research revealing that our brains, regardless of age, remain capable of change, and this neuroplasticity could be the key to reducing or even eliminating chronic pain.The conversation shifts from science to strategy, offering hope-filled, practical ways to influence how the brain processes discomfort. Stacey emphasizes that pain perception is deeply shaped by past experiences, emotions, and internal narratives—and that by using tools like aerobic movement, meditation, better sleep, targeted nutrition, and simple mindset shifts, we can begin to rewire these ingrained pain patterns. Instead of treating pain as something to suppress or fear, she encourages you to understand it as a signal that can be transformed through intention and lifestyle.This episode offers a powerful invitation: to take control of your body by first taking control of your thoughts. With practical tips and compelling science, Stacey will help you to rethink what’s possible for healing and reclaiming your life.If you've enjoyed this episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!Enjoy!In This Episode You'll Learn:The concept that pain might not just be in the joints or muscles but could be influenced by the brain's interpretation of pain.Why chronic pain is not just a physical issue but also a brain issue, influenced by emotional and memory circuits.How activities that encourage the growth of new neurons, such as aerobic exercise, can also help manage chronic pain.The benefits of mindfulness and meditation for managing pain by calming the nervous system.The importance of personalized supplements and soft wave therapy for modulating inflammation and healing.And much more...Resources:New You Health and WellnessNew You Health and Wellness eBooks Grab a copy of The Pain Free Formula book on AmazonMedical Disclaimer:Information in this program, as well as any information provided by New You Health and Wellness and its subsidiaries, is provided for informational purposes only.

In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey tackles one of the most confusing areas of health and wellness—supplements.She opens by revisiting a 2002 American Medical Association recommendation that adults consider daily multivitamin use due to widespread nutrient deficiencies. With thousands of supplement options on the market today, You'll be introduced to three foundational supplements she recommends to nearly every patient: a high-quality, bioavailable multivitamin, potent fish oil, and clinically effective probiotics. Each plays a key role in improving energy, balancing hormones, calming inflammation, and helping people feel more like themselves.Stacey addresses skepticism surrounding multivitamins, such as the common belief that they result in expensive urine. She explains that quality and formulation matter deeply—many supplements on the market are low quality, poorly absorbed, or filled with synthetic ingredients that don't benefit the body. By highlighting personal anecdotes and clinical evidence, including studies linking long-term multivitamin use to reduced colon cancer risk, she emphasizes the importance of using GMP-certified, third-party tested, bioavailable supplements from reputable brands.This episode will walk you through how to identify effective versions of each supplement, offer personal success stories, and encourage simplifying supplement routines by starting with a strong, research-backed foundation.Ready to upgrade your supplement routine?

In today's episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, Stacey explores the shocking truth about sham surgery and why it’s not just shocking but essential to understand.While surgery often seems like the obvious solution to pain for many, Stacey challenges this assumption by delving into the surprising and lesser-known concept of "sham surgery."
