Esoteric Wellness
At Esoteric Wellness we discuss health & wellness knowledge that isn't generally well known or well accepted. From new scientific research to alternative wellness methods to mind-body techniques to psychedelics to emerging theories. Our intent is to help to make sense of the information that is out there, identify the BS, and introduce new information. Health & wellness is a struggle, and our hope is to clear up some of the misunderstandings and misconceptions around it. Send us an email with all your questions, comments, topic requests, or just to say hi at esotericwellnesspodcast@gmail.com.

Episode 7 - The Neuroscience of Pain
In the first of our series of episodes focused on chronic pain we dive into the neuroscience of pain. We discuss what pain is and how it works generally. It may actually be quite different than you expect. Then we focus on how pain can become persistent or chronic because the processes involved in pain can learn and change. We finish out the episode by introducing what can be done about chronic pain at a high level, much more to come on that in future episodes. This was a fun episode to record with boo boo's, an unexpected guest, and some personal stories.
