Listen "11| Diagnosing The Biology: Why Cortisone Injections Aren't Fixing Chronic Pain"
Episode Synopsis
A holistic approach to chronic pain requires looking beyond symptoms to identify underlying causes and triggers in the full biological picture. Our patient with chronic tendon pain had multiple contributing factors that cortisone injections alone couldn't address.• Iron overload discovered as a major driver of chronic joint pain that conventional treatment missed• Thyroid function optimization through dietary approaches rather than medication• Importance of iodine sources like seaweed when using non-iodized salt• Connection between gut microbiome health and thyroid hormone activation• How mindful eating practices dramatically improved bloating and nutrient absorption • Understanding how high iron levels create harmful free radicals that deplete antioxidants• Comprehensive testing revealed four independent reasons preventing tendon healing• Collaborative care approach combining lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted therapies [thanks, Dr. Arianna Wendlandt!]If you're feeling curious or ready to take a deeper look under the hood, you can explore the lab options anytime at thefacilitydenver.com.
