Stop Chasing Pain

Healing can feel overwhelming especially when conflicting health advice, complicated protocols, and endless biohacks make you question every decision. In this mini episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry explains why healing may be simpler than you've been led to believe. Instead of adding more, it may be time to master less and return to the fundamentals your body needs most.
Discover the restorative power of drinking more water, walking every day, spending time in nature, moving with variety, and being present without your phone. Dr. Perry shares practical ways to begin wherever you are even if you can only walk a few steps and gradually build your body's capacity. The message is simple: stop overthinking, stop overcomplicating, and consistently give your body the basic ingredients it needs to heal.

What if the goal isn't to control life, but to become better at responding to it? In this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry welcomes back perception expert Dr. Beau Lotto to explore why life's nonlinear and unpredictable nature makes control an illusion. Beau explains the difference between control and agency mand how the curiosity, humility, and self-awareness we bring into each moment shape our perceptions, responses, relationships, and future.
Beau also introduces his new book, Becoming Evolvable, and the Evolvable.me platform, which uses neuroscience, psychology, and AI to help people see themselves more honestly and adapt more effectively. Together, Perry and Beau discuss why collaboration matters more than competition, how small shifts can transform our lives, and why becoming more evolvable begins with changing how we enter the present moment.

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.

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.
