EP #1248: Psychophysiologic Disorder (PPD) - The Trauma and Chronic Pain Connection with Dr. David Clarke

11/21/2023
Most people assume that pain and illness are the straightforward result of injury and disease. However, one in six adults suffers from chronic pain or illness that is either “medically unexplained” or unresponsive to virtually any treatment. These patients often live with a psychophysiologic disorder (PPD), the increasingly common clinical term for very real stress-related and brain-generated medical conditions. Such chronic symptoms manifest themselves as everything from fibromyalgia to irritable bowel syndrome, and their incompatibility with conventional diagnosis leaves most PPD patients feeling neglected by the medical profession and hopeless about their future. Lisa is joined by Dr. David Clarke, the President of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association (PPDA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ending the chronic pain epidemic. Dr. Clarke graduated from Williams College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and he holds an MD from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He is Board-certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. His organization’s mission is to advance the awareness, diagnosis, and treatment of stress-related and brain-generated medical conditions. The PPDA supports an evidence-based, biopsychosocial approach that is safer, more affordable, and more effective than traditional treatments of chronic pain. With a focus on uncovering stress and identifying trauma, the PPDA encourages patients to take control of their symptoms without drugs, surgery, or expensive treatments. Dr. Clarke is the organization’s president, a renowned gastroenterologist, author of three books, producer of three films, and an international lecturer on psychophysiologic disorders. Learn more at EndChronicPain.org. The Psychophysiologic Disorders Association (PPDA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ending the chronic pain epidemic by promoting awareness of PPD diagnosis and treatment. Educating medical professionals is the first step in creating a healthcare system that is more compassionate toward PPD and more capable of serving every patient. In 2021, opioids accounted for over 80,000 of the drug overdose deaths reported in the United States. The opioid crisis is a plague on modern health care, and much of its strength originates from those patients unable to find understanding and relief — like those suffering from brain-generated symptoms. SummaryDr. David Clarke discusses psycho-physiologic disorders, a condition where symptoms are generated by the brain and not explained by disease or injury. He shares personal experiences and explains how stress and trauma can impact the body. Dr. Clarke emphasizes the importance of diagnosing and treating the underlying stressors to alleviate symptoms. He highlights the success of pain relief psychotherapy and the role of self-treatment techniques. Resources such as the Curable app and books are recommended for further support. Dr. Clarke's work offers hope and solutions for individuals with chronic unexplained symptoms.

EP #1243: Gender Differences in Strength Training with Lee Boyce

11/14/2023
Lisa is joined by Lee Boyce who talks about gender difference and strength training. In Lee's own words: I’ve done a lot of stuff in my career as a fitness professional. But I still use the same job description whenever I’m asked. I’m a trainer. I help people work out for results. And possessing that skill is what’s enabled me to land the opportunities I’ve achieved to this point.I don’t use fancy terms like “body transformation specialist” or “muscle mechanic”. I got to where I’m at by sticking to the basic tenets of my craft – and for me, that means never abandoning my number 1 pursuit: Fitness training and coaching clients. That’s the piece of the pie that puts a combination of my own fitness background, my school-based knowledge, and my time spent competing in varsity track, to good practice on a regular basis. And keeping my allegiance there has directly or indirectly paid dividends in the form of being able to educate other professionals, land some pretty high-profile clients, teach college students, and achieve all the accomplishments you’ll see littered throughout this website. I won’t repeat them all here.Instead, I’ll use this section to give you the lowdown on what to expect hanging around this place. REAL TRAINING. NO NONSENSE. Just like the slogan of this website implies, you won’t have to filter through fluff or off-topic material to get to the goods. This site is dedicated to delivering training information and advice for a large demographic of people. There’s strength training, fat loss, muscle development, and conditioning advice that ranges from beginner level content to advanced content for experienced trainees. You’ll find most of this variety by keeping abreast with the work I have published in different print magazines (I’m usually on newsstands for something every month) and digital publications. In addition to this, my “training tips” section will highlight nuggets of fitness advice (or good exercises to try) for your convenience. As a whole, it’s a lot of content – I know – but the site makes it fairly easy to navigate through and also keyword search just what you might be looking for. I use my blog section a bit differently than most fitness professionals. I don’t post too often, but when I do, you can count on a more editorial piece that highlights things I see in the fitness industry, and how they can affect the culture of fitness as a whole. Some of the subjects I choose to zero in on may open your eyes to a different perspective through a counter-intuitive lens.
