Description

What if your emotions could actually turn down your physical pain? In this episode, I'm revealing the connection between your brain, emotions, and the pain you feel in your body. You'll discover how your brain is the control center, the "pain-fear cycle" that's secretly making your pain worse, simple practices to retrain your brain and dial down pain naturally and how emotions like fear and frustration amplify pain.

*****

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the best version of themselves. 

 

Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.
