Many people live with constant pain.  

They’ve seen all kinds of specialists.  They’ve tried all kinds of therapies and drugs.  They’ve even had surgery.  But they still have pain.  

Doctors have told them it’s “all in your head.”   It’s not.

That’s according to Dr. Andrea Furlan, a pain specialist who’s made it her life’s work to research the mechanisms of chronic pain and what actually works to alleviate it.  

She’s been one of our most popular interviews and we’ve asked her back to talk about her new book: “8 Steps to Conquer Chronic Pain.”

Yes there is hope.

Andrea Furlan is a physician, and senior scientist at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute; scientist at the Inst. For Work & Health; and senior scientist at the KITE Research Inst., University Health Network.  She’s the author of “8 Steps to Conquer Chronic Pain: A Doctor’s Guide to Lifelong Relief.”

Do you ever get nervous before playing. I know I get nervous when taking tests, in a crowded room with many people I don't know. Sometimes nerves have been a killer to a performance, like a degree recital or just get me side-tracked for a few measures and then snap out of it. As I get older things become easier, but after the lock down and COVID, some of those old things returned and I had to work through them again on a small scale. Take a listen to this interview with Dr. Bruce Tychinski and get to know his story as he tells how he dealt and deals with performance anxiety. 

Points of discussion:

• One of my biggest fears (public speaking) and how I grew more confident in my abilities.
• Physical changes when feeling nervous: reddening, stuttering, heart racing & why they are normal.
• Secondary school: ducking the head down during readings, running to the toilet & avoiding speaking out.
• Cultural differences with vocalizing opinions.
• Liking the sound of your voice vs Expressing an opinion.
• Studying at university in Ireland vs Studying in America.
• Are children overly praised nowadays and is it a good thing?
• Have we normalized using alcohol as a social crutch / confidence booster?
• What teaching high school students taught me about public speaking.

Happy Halloween HeadStrong family! In this episode, Coach Kristina, talks about fear and scary events that can come up during performance.

In this episode, we are talking with Ben Wilding, co-owner of 1YNX Goalkeeping, a premier goalkeeper glove company based in England. We'll discuss some ways for you to manage your nerves before a performance in and out of sport.

This week’s guest is one brave lady! Not only has she ridden round an advanced eventing track, she has also made an incredible comeback after a horrific car accident. Told by her doctor she wouldn’t ride again Caroline Mosely from Orange Fox Eventing was determined to prove her doctor wrong, which we delighted to say she did!

Caroline shares how she was persuaded to come over from the dark side (SJ!) and give eventing a go, how she still finds the dressage the most stressful element and how by finding herself slightly older horses, who have been there and done it, she has had to really focus on her own riding. Caroline also give us the best tip for keeping fit, and it involves a pole and not a lot of clothes!

Down to earth, determined and very happy to offer words of support, make sure you go and say hello if you see Caroline at an event. We’ll give you a clue… she’s the one dressed all in orange!

Sue Becker continues her two-part series on The Facts About Fats. In this episode, she talks about the amazing role of essential fatty acids in the body.

There are a number of fatty acids found in foods containing oil, but there are only 3 that are considered essential. These 3 fatty acids cannot be made by our bodies, so we must get them from the foods we eat. Sue goes into detail about how these fatty acids are not only essential to proper function of cells, but that we could not exist without them in our bodies.
