I would love for you guys to talk to Dr. Stracks or Dr. Schubner about chronic pain and the mind body connection. It’s amazing and it’s rooted in science. Also, look at Curable, a program you can go through if you have chronic pain. You’ll love it! It’s amazing, I’ve been doing it a while now and am now recovering from 30 years of chronic pain, slowly but surely. I got off pain medication I was taking for years. Please try to get someone from one of those 3 places. People need to know about this!

I live with chronic illnesses. The chronic illness/disability podcasts I’ve found typically have a more serious tone. That consistent tone across media reinforces shame and the “othering” I have subconsciously soaked up from an ableist culture. This podcast leaves all that subconsciously-negative out. Because these thoughtful, warm, funny men crack jokes about the unglamorous reality of living with disability so casually, the diagnoses they explore feel normal! Instead of this heavy, awkward thing that hangs over someone’s head, it just makes the disability, chronic illness, etc an interesting *part* of who they are. Thanks for the laughs expanding my paradigm about my own body and resulting life. I’m deeply grateful for this podcast.

I live in America. I wish we had a podcast like this. If we do, I haven’t found it yet. I like how illness is brought to the forefront. Keep it up y’all!!!

This podcast is so interesting and funny and the only thing that gets me through school😭
