Today I review a 2021 research paper (link here to paper) which shows how your attention is associated with fear conditioning and then chronic pain. Attention is one of the 4 categories I address with people suffering from chronic somatic symptoms. I call the 4 categories B-E-A-T which relates to your behaviors, emotions, attention, and […]
So many studies have come out and are continuing to come out around the impact of ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores and subsequent mental, emotional, and physical health issues later in life. The brain gets affected at a young age and this particular study looked at data from many studies. Data from 43 studies with […]

Your brain is the most powerful and complex organ in the body. Yet it is the one area we don’t even scan or is talked about when people go to a doctor for many medical issues (outside of hitting your head or having a stroke for example). Our medical system is great about ruling out […]

Today I go over a study that looked at the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in chronic pain. There are definite links between alterations and dysregulation in the ANS and people with chronic. In fact, the researchers sifted through over 17,000 studies on heart rate variability (HRV), which is a measure of your […]
I’m starting a series in 2025 called Evidence of the Week. Each week I will go over some research that is of interest and supports the work we are doing here on looking at and treating the brain and nervous system with chronic health conditions.
