“Health is a direction, not a destination. Your body wants to heal. It never stops fighting for you even when it feels like it has given up. It hasn’t. So don’t you give up either.”
When my friend Erica Lippy asked me if I knew the “stop chasing pain” doctor, I didn’t, but I immediately wanted to. When I researched and connected with today’s guest I was blown away by his wisdom and couldn’t wait to share it with you.
As we all know, our body is a system. There is not one system that operates on its own. We aren’t supposed to live with chronic pain, disease, and chronic inflammation. It’s our body trying to tell us something is wrong. Pain is trying to tell us something is wrong. Are you ready to listen?
Dr. Perry Nickelston provides so much wisdom on how the systems of the body work and gives us a deeper understanding of another important system in your body that is often ignored, that is the lymphatic system. I was amazed by his wisdom around pain management, how he addresses the root cause of health problems and his secrets for strengthening our immune system.
