    Ep. 43 – When Pain Becomes Exhaustion: Understanding the Energy Cost of Chronic Pain

    Why do so many people living with persistent pain also feel completely exhausted? In this episode of The Vitality Check, Kevin and Jason explore the close relationship between chronic pain, stress, and fatigue. They discuss how ongoing pain can place significant demands on both the body and mind, leaving many people feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally depleted. The conversation examines how chronic stress and persistent discomfort can gradually reduce our capacity to recover and adapt. Kevin and Jason explain why slowing down, improving recovery habits, and supporting the parasympathetic nervous system are essential parts of rebuilding resilience.

The human body has an incredible capacity to adapt and heal when we begin creating an environment that supports recovery, through sleep, movement, stress management, and intentional self-care.
