Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Chronic pain often starts in the brain — not just the body — and this condensed Genius Life episode shows you why. Original: 53 minutes • Summary: 4 minutes. Max Lugavere and Dr. Daniel Amen unpack three pain circuits (feeling, suffering, and the calming switch), the “doom loop” of automatic negative thoughts, and why low frontal lobe function and low hope worsen pain. Learn practical neuroscience-backed takeaways: which supplements (saffron, omega-3s, curcumin, SAMe) have supportive evidence, non-opioid strategies, behavioral tools like havening/EMDR and attention training, diet elimination for inflammation, and the role of sleep, exercise, and genetics. If you’re researching chronic pain, brain health, neuroscience, or mental health strategies, this summary gives targeted, actionable insights to start rebalancing pain circuits. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
