Control Pain & Heal Faster with Your Brain | Episode 9

<p>In this episode I describe the science of how and why pain arises in the body and brain, and how we can actively control our experience of pain. I discuss inflammation, stress, acupuncture, limb damage and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I review protocols that leverage the lymphatic and nervous system to accelerate pain relief and healing in a variety of situations. Other topics discussed include how heat versus cold impacts neurons and wounds, red-light, sunlight, stem cells and more. </p> <p>Thank you to our sponsors:</p> <ul> <li>ExpressVPN - <a href= "http://expressvpn.com/huberman">http://expressvpn.com/huberman</a></li> <li>Athletic Greens - <a href= "http://athleticgreens.com/huberman">http://athleticgreens.com/huberman</a></li> </ul> <p>Our Patreon page:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/andrewhuberman">https://www.patreon.com/andrewhuberman</a></li> </ul> <p>Supplements from Thorne:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.thorne.com/u/huberman">http://www.thorne.com/u/huberman</a></li> </ul> <p>Other links:</p> <ul> <li>The Ready State/Dr. Kelly Starrett <a href= "https://thereadystate.com/">https://thereadystate.com/</a></li> <li>Instagram: @thereadystate <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/thereadystate/">https://www.instagram.com/thereadystate/</a></li> <li>Twitter: @thereadystate <a href= "https://twitter.com/thereadystate">https://twitter.com/thereadystate</a></li> <li>Love and Pain Study <a href= "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/24716721/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/24716721/</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Timestamps below.</p> <ul> <li>00:00:00 Introduction/Avenues for Support</li> <li>00:04:58 Deliberate Unlearning</li> <li>00:06:43 Pain, Injury and Regeneration</li> <li>00:09:17 A System of Touch (Somatosensation)</li> <li>00:11:42 Pain and Injury are Dissociable</li> <li>00:15:19 Objective versus Subjective Control of Experience</li> <li>00:16:15 Plasticity of Perception</li> <li>00:16:41 Lack of Pain Is Self-Destructive; So Is Excessive Pain</li> <li>00:
