    In this mini episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry explains why better breathing doesn't need to be complicated. Learn how simple awareness, nasal breathing, slowing your breath, and gently lengthening your exhale can help calm an overwhelmed nervous system and shift your body out of fight-or-flight mode. Healing begins with the fundamentals and one intentional breath can be a powerful place to start.

    SCP Podcast Episode 282 : The Healing Power of Infrared Saunas with Connie Zack

    20/07/2026 | 59 mins.
    You'll learn why more heat and longer sessions are not always better, how infrared exposure may influence circulation and cellular energy, and why it can be a valuable addition to the fundamentals of healing. Infrared therapy is not a replacement for movement, hydration, nutrition, sleep or medical care but it can help the body create a better internal environment for recovery.
    In this episode, Dr. Perry chats with Connie Zack the co-founder of Sunlighten Saunas.
    We discuss:
    The differences between far, mid, and near-infrared wavelengths
    Why hotter and more isn't better. 
    How infrared therapy may support blood flow, oxygen delivery and nutrient movement
    The relationship between infrared light, mitochondria and cellular energy
    Potential benefits for relaxation, sleep and nervous-system regulation
    How infrared sauna may support exercise recovery and inflammation regulation
    How beginners can start "low and slow" with shorter sessions
    How session length should be adjusted based on health, energy and tolerance
    Why consistency matters more than forcing yourself through an intense session
    The goal is not to chase another complicated health intervention. It is to understand how a simple practice helps calm the nervous system, move the fluids, support cellular energy and improve the conditions in which healing can occur.

    SCP Podcast Episode 281 : Unlearn Your Pain with Dr. Howard Schubiner

    02/07/2026 | 58 mins.
    What if chronic pain is not something you have to manage forever, but something your brain and body can actually unlearn?
    In this powerful episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry sits down with Dr. Howard Schubiner to discuss his new book, Unlearn Your Pain: The Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety and Depression. They explore how chronic pain can be driven by learned neural pathways, nervous system sensitization, stress, emotion, and the brain-body connection, not always by damaged tissue.
    Dr. Schubiner shares a science-based, compassionate approach to helping people understand their symptoms differently, calm the threat response, and begin creating the conditions for real recovery.
    If you or someone you love feels trapped in a cycle of pain, inflammation, fatigue, or fear of movement, this conversation will open a new door. It is a reminder that healing begins when we stop only chasing symptoms and start asking better questions about the nervous system, the brain, and the story the body has learned to protect you with.
