  Speaker 1: Appoche production. Today we're going to be chatting with Levi,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Soid welcome back to the show. When we're talking about
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the pain that's associated with trauma, so emotional pain, physical pain.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: So we're really going to unpack that today. So as
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a coach, what would you say, is there like a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: more common type of pain that you see a lot
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of your clients come through with.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's so many different pains, right, And
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you can have gut pain, which is so common like
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: ibs that the people have got so much pain. You've
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: got endometriosis, which has pain associated with all the time.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You've got headache pain, migrain, you've got lower back pain,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you've got knee pain, You've got pretty much every single
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: disease or condition can have pain associated with it. And
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: sometimes conditions don't have pain associated but they're horrendously disastrous.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: But pain is just exhausting. When you've got pain associated
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: with something, you're energy levels are just so low all
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the time. It's just so fatiguing, and it's just like
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: carrying a heavy weight with you all day every day.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So that pain is connected to that block stress in
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the body. Pain is just another beautiful signal right, But
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it's just saying, hey, there's inflammation here, or hey, please
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: don't keep thinking this way, or please don't keep overloading
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: yourself like this, or hey, three hours of sleep isn't
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: good enough. Can you please help me a little bit recover? Right,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And we don't listen to it, and it sort of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: goes okay, a little bit of pain, it shuts up,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and then it goes okay, try this for size. I'm
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: trying to tell you something again here, pain or any
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of our conditions. You could I don't be playing tennis
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and you go over on your ankle and you've got
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of pain. Now, obviously that's a contact thing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Whether you're saying your muscles a week because you're not recovering,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: or you might be going through an emotional stress, which
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: is that's an association, but it is. It's just a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: physical majority thing where the most of my pain is
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: just a response to a huge amount of inflammation because
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I've torn a muscle or a ligament here. Right, The
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: amount of times that somebody's period pain has been fixed
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just through taking magnesiums in can be six and all
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of a sudden they come back and they're like, I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: a different person. We haven't cleared any trauma, but it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: just like, hey, during these times, I just need extra
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: amount of this nutrient, right, And because you haven't given
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that to me and you haven't been able to, I'm
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: going to throw out these extra symptoms to say back,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the fuck off, don't do as much work. And you're like, no,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I can do it through this, and a lot of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: women just push right through. And as we become more
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: connected to our body and listening, etc. And I've seen
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that with you Ash, you back off and it's like
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: where you can. Life happens obviously, but you sort of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: listen in and you go, I can only be at
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a seven out of ten during this period. Plus I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: need some extra sleep, I may need some extra nutrients.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And so a lot of times we can resolve that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: pain or the excessive pain for PMS just with that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: extra supplementation. So we've got there can be a physic
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: call cause of pain, there can be a nutritional deficiency,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but the majority of pain that people go through is
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: what we call chronic pain, and chronic pain is really
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: defined as anything that lasts over six months. Now again,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I'm at that point with chronic pain where I hate
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to use percentages, but I would say ninety five percent
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of chronic pain is just an unsafe nervous system. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it's fear in the body, and majority of that isn't
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the food, and it's actually the body is now, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: which is really smart. It goes I've perceived that this food,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: this causes the bloating, and the bloating equals the pain initially,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: but it's now just remembering that this is a condition,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: or this is a position, or this is an emotion
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that causes this. And so what we do to reverse
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that is show the body that this is now safe
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and people can now eat gluten again, they can now
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: eat dairy again. An example is you know someone that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: walks in and had been through almost everything, just about
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to have their backs like fused. They're having injections just
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to manage the pain, and within really within an hour
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and a half, they're touching their toes, they're swaying. In
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a session or when you can use music and use vibration,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we can put you in a place using body up
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: breathing so that your nervous systems calm and I can
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: help you regulate the current emotions so you're in a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: great place, so then we can do the movements, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: then you can go back home and you're stressed or
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you're in a shitty situation, and the pain can come back.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And that's where like sometimes you get a benefit and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: then it comes back, and that's where we go, Aha,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the nervous system's not safe. Now we need to Actually,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it's like a little light bulb that goes there's underlying
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: trauma or block stress there that we now have to release,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and when that's all gone, then the pain never comes back.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Anything short term up to six months. Really, it can
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be just physical. In a physical pain. Let's say I've
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: got a knee pain and I just keep doing squats
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: with an imbalanced muscles and I'm creating that inflammation all
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the time. Then that's also physical, right. But when we're
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: talking about these long term standing things where it's a year,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: two years, three is twenty years of just constant migraines
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: or constant pain. And what we have of these conditions
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of the time where someone will start with
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: ibs this is a pattern I've seen all the time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Then they go to fibroma allergia, which is another condition
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that's basically says it's pain from unknown causes, right, whether
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they have this idiopathic pain. And there's so many of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: these diseases where the definition is we don't know why,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: but it's just pain that we don't know in the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: kidney or the bladder or the lum or whatever. Basically,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: when we see this pain, when we're trying to lean
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: into and go because it's quite confusing, Now it goes well,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: is this pain only physical or is it from a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: lack of recovery or nutrition? Or is it emotional? The
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: first step is we ask these questions and we go okay.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: First up, has it been over six months? And is
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the pain still there? If it is, then that's one
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: little tick where we go, oh, this could be solely emotional.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Next is does my pain sort of switched and change
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: sides or change positions if I'm completely present in the moment,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: does it go away or does some days when I'm calm?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Is it up and down? And if we go yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it does? Or there's another tick where we go hmm,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this could be again an emotional source of pain. Then
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we go does it involve it started with one thing
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and now I'm getting multiple pain, So I've got ibs,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and now I've got knee pain, and now I've got migraines,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and it's just keeps the adding on in different areas.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't fall over at tennis. There was
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: no sort of massive start point, and they just sort
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of come along. So we now it's getting multiple pains
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: on top of each other. That again indicates us, this
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: is again our nervous system telling us that it's got
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of fear inside and that this position or
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: what we're doing is not safe. It's just a little
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: oil light again, trying to get us to listen. Listen, listen,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and we're not. And the body's basically trialing some strategies
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to get you to listen. It goes ah, when I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: give you pain, you seem to stop doing something. If
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I've got a pain in my shoulder, what happens normally
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is the pain happens, and then the muscles around the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: shoulder joint will hyper contract to try and basically say
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: don't move that joint. You know it'll happen, and you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: lower back your ql and your so ass will squeeze
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: down and try and stop you from bending and moving.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It's doing that because it cares it's trying to say
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you are injuring me, stop moving, and everyone goes, I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: just going to take extra voltare right now and still
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: do my movements right, still going to play stuff that's
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: hurting my shoulder. We obviously need to manage it. We
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: need to listen to that and go, Okay, this movement's
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: stopping me. I don't want to stop forever, but for
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: initial period, I need to listen to that sign. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: need to back off. I need to look and go
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: see someone like a physio or a cara or whatever
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that manages these muscle imbalances and see whether, hey, maybe
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: my posture rounding over all the time is tighten these
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: front muscles, loosen these back muscles, and now I've got
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: an instability in my joint in my shoulder or my
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: lower backs out because I've been sitting over on the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: side like this and now one side's tighter. There's so
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: many physical causes. But when we have these hyper pain.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And this is the cool thing to know that function
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: posture doesn't equal pain. If you go into a physio
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and you show them an MRI, you come over and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you've got this massive posture like this, they'll be like Okay,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: so you've got impingement. We can see that your burs
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: is inflamed, and you've got winging scapula. There's the reason,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and it's not always the reason. It is not great,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and we'd like to reverse that, but it doesn't equal pain.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: But when we correlate that and to the same part,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: there's been studies that show that I think it's sixty
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: five percent of people without back pain have bulging discs.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Just because you've got a bulging disc and we do
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a scan and you've got a disc and you might
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: have lower back pain at the moment, that's correlation. It
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't equal why the pain is there. It just says
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you might have had that bulging disc for twenty years.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: We don't know. And also we have people that go
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: through back pain where you know, I've been through back
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: pain before where I couldn't walk for a week and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it's better. Just so happened
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to happen at a really high stress financial time. But regardless,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: did my bulging discs stop then now it's probably still bulging.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So what is the cause of this pain? Right? It's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: not always equal to function. That's what we see.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I have a question. I'd love to know your opinion
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: around it, because I one hundred percent believe there is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a time and place for certain medications and whatever. But
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I do think we're living in a society where as
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: soon as there's any type of pain, it's just like
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: straight to the doctors, take this tablet, blah blah blah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Even like basically Panadole and Europe and Voltaire and Excepta
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and I've taken it. I'm not saying I'm fully against it,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: But what's your opinion around all of that? Like how
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: can we always get this message out there that there's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: always a root cause? And when do you think is
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the time and place? Like I'm assuming you don't ever
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: take panadoll, what would you do with it? Creasy headache
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: on migraine.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So this is what we want to do is let's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: say I do an injury right away, There's going to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: be great inflammation in that area, and our job is
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: if I want to make that recovery period faster, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: want to limit the amount of inflammation that's created. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: also want to listen in and go, okay, I'm not
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: going to keep moving my body in that area, so
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: straight away I should stop the activity. A lot of
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: times the muscular contraction there, you know, like say, if
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I pull the humorous up into the arm sock, it
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: will make it hard to move. So I got to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: listen to that and say, okay, stop moving my arm
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: like this. Then I want to add ice to it
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to reduce the inflammation. Then I would also get people
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: on any inflammatories for that first day or two, because
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: we're wanting to minimize the inflammation because however much inflammation
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: is left, the immune system has to go in and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: eat that inflammation up before it can start to heal.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And so there are certain times where medication is brilliant.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And in regards to just a simple headache, if I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: don't normally get headaches, and I've got a lot on
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: today and I need to be thinking clearly, take panadole,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you know, like that may help, and if it does, fantastic,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: but don't just keeping taking it every day from now on.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: That's not the cause of your issue. The three number
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: one ways that the research says that we can regulate
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: our emotions and mind and thoughts with our body is
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: breathing deep breathing in the belly using that vagus nerve.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: We've got humming or singing, and touch. They're the top
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: three where we're using body up regulation of our body,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: but movement for me, I think they've either missed that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: in the research. Jumping makes sense to me as well.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Any sort of percussion or movement or anything that gets
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that out is essential
