Summary

Overcoming chronic pain requires an understanding of how different parts of the body (and the mind) influence each other in the healing process. Today’s podcast guest, Dr. Perry Nickelston, focuses on healing chronic pain and inflammation via the lymphatic and vascular systems. What this conversation emphasizes, however, is the fact that nothing heals in isolation.

Erin and Dr. Perry delve into why blood flow and lymphatic health are essential for the health of the rest of the brain/body (and visa versa), the importance of the vagus nerve, diaphragmatic breathing and how it keeps the lymphatic system pumping efficiently, the lymph and brain health, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm an integrative and
0:07.2	functional medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in well over a decade of clinical experience.
0:13.0	I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of the
0:18.0	Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship
0:21.7	where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies. I've got a bone
0:27.6	to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model that are both systematically
0:32.4	failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what this show's all about.
0:39.3	Please keep in mind, this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never

1:11.3	We've got Perry Nicholston from Stop Chasing Pain on the show today.
1:16.5	It was such a tremendous conversation.
1:20.2	One of my favorite conversations or interviews to date, I think.
1:25.0	We are in such lockstep with the way that we view healing. It was just a
1:30.0	really refreshing conversation. And it's funny because we kind of work in different fields or
1:35.2	different aspects of health. And yet we've arrived at very similar points or philosophies. And it's
1:42.8	funny because although this was not intentional, so much of what we
1:47.6	tuck into today are really the bones of the manifest your health process. And this just
