Summary
In this episode the guys break down five weird and common things people do that cause or worsen chronic pain — poor sleep, inflammatory diet, macro and micro deficiencies, dehydration, and shallow breathing. They cover the difference between acute pain and chronic pain, how movement pattern issues are almost always the root cause, and why the experience of pain can be just as real as the physiological signal. They also get into Arthur Saxon pressing 370 pounds overhead with one arm in 1905, eating 24 eggs and 10 pounds of meat a day, the genetics study showing hyper responders gain three times as much muscle as average responders, Sal going back to jiu jitsu and the whole family trying the Organifi parasite cleanse, Manukora honey on mat burns, and how poor sleep is the number one injury predictor — worse than skipping a warmup.
