EP#426: Live More, Hurt Less: Why You're Still in Pain - Dr. Sean Pastuch
Dieting from the Inside OutShow Notes
Most people wait until the pain goes away to start living again. Dr. Sean Pastuch says that's backwards — and that the pain was never the real problem.
Sean is a chiropractor, the founder of Active Life, and the author of Live More. Hurt Less. He's spent 20 years getting people out of chronic pain without asking them to shrink their lives — from Olympians and CrossFit Games champions to people who couldn't make it up a flight of stairs without running out of breath.
In this episode he breaks down why more than 20% of Americans live with chronic aches and pains, why "eat less, move more, don't do it if it hurts" is the worst advice you'll ever get, and the three identities that have to line up before anything actually changes.
WHAT WE GET INTO: • Why compromise — not pain — is the real disease • The small, reasonable decisions that quietly shrink your life • Why nothing actually changes between age 39 and 40 • The three identities you have to align for change • Setting floors instead of goals (and why five minutes counts) • What 20 years of clinical work taught him about "excuses"

You're disciplined everywhere else. But once the kids are in bed and the house goes quiet, you're standing in the pantry eating chips you don't even want. That's not a willpower problem. It's your nervous system looking for relief, and food is the fastest relief you've got.

If you think about food from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, I want you to hear this: that's common, but it's not normal. And it's not because you lack willpower or discipline. Food noise has real causes, and once you understand which ones are running for you, you can actually turn it down.
