Summary

I’m here with Dr. Yoni Whitten, who is an expert on chronic pain. He’s a lifelong athlete who is no stranger to the physical and mental ailments that can hold us back. He is well-known for his program, Pain Fix Protocol, which blends the latest in scientific research with essential concepts from the field of natural movement, evolutionary health, spinal hygiene, and much more.

In this episode, we really go deep on things like why 1.5 billion people are suffering from chronic pain worldwide, and why so much of the conventional approach to treating chronic pain doesn’t make sense. Even if you don’t struggle with chronic pain, it can help so much with posture and agility overall.
