Today I had the honor of having David Hanscom, MD with me. He was a spinal surgeon for 32 years and now helps people recover from chronic back pain through non surgical means and by understanding the body and mind are one unit.
Through understanding threat physiologic and the inflammation the brain causes, we can reverse chronic pain and stop diseases.

In today's talk, he discusses practicing joy, the threat physiology response of anger and anxiety, why he quit spine surgery and answers some of the questions my watchers had asked in advance. He also discusses chronic inflammation of the body.

He also talks about:
Threat physiology (4:55)
Success (or not) of spine surgery (10:40)
Forgiveness (36:30)
Dealing with anger with his method called 5,3,2 (37:30)
The 2 parts of healing (39:20)
Prehab for surgery (42:30)
Connecting to your disbelief (43:30)
Becoming a professional at living life (45:50)
How to distinguish neuroplastic pain from structural pain (47:00)
Degenerative changes such as bulges discs, bone spurs, herniations, degenerative arthritis. (47:25)
The ability to halt autoimmune diseases (55:15)


He also discusses degenerative disc disease, bulged discs, herniations, (47:25) and how there is no data showing they cause pain. He also discusses halting autoimmune diseases including ankylosing spondylitis, (55:)
