🥗Changing your diet is never easy, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution for managing chronic pain.

But because chronic pain and inflammation are so interconnected, many have found relief with an anti-inflammatory diet.

Here’s a quick cheat sheet of anti-inflammatory and inflammatory foods to consider on your next grocery trip. 💫

(Psst — you can learn more about the do’s and dont’s of diet for chronic pain at our blog.)

🩺🏰 Medical gaslighting, medieval edition. Have you ever been told it’s ‘just stress’?

A friendly reminder: Your symptoms are valid, whether or not a doctor can ‘see’ them.

Magnesium isn’t a magic fix — but for many, it can be a gentle helper. 💚

Magnesium is a mineral involved in over 300 biological processes. It has a calming effect on your central nervous system, helping quiet hypersensitized nerves that amplify pain signals.
When it comes to pain, research suggests it:
→ Supports better sleep quality (helps with pain management + repair)
→ Prevents calcium overload that can worsen nerve pain signaling
→ Promotes muscle relaxation, supporting cramp + tension headache relief
→ Lowers inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP)

Studies show it may also offer potential benefits for neuropathic pain, migraines, PMS pain, and post-operative pain.

A few considerations before adding magnesium..
→ 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻: Magnesium glycinate, malate, or sulfate
→ 𝗗𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: Start low (200mg) and work up to 300-400mg daily
→ 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: Please discuss with your doctor, especially if you have kidney issues

Many people with chronic pain are mildly deficient, so it's worth exploring. 💫

Feel stuck between "overdoing it" and "not doing enough"? 🥵

Finding the right pacing through the day can be tough with chronic pain:

→ Push just a bit too far, and your body responds swiftly with increased inflammation and extended recovery that can set you back days.

→ Do too little, and it can lead to muscle weakness and stiffness that also prompts pain.

It can feel impossible to find the balance.

🌟One tip that’s helped our clients:

Stop while you still feel good — not when you start feeling tired or sore.

Do about 70% of what you think you can handle on a good day.

The goal? Small steps forward when you can, rather than big bursts followed by crashes. 💚

You got a joint replacement and it still hurts. No, you're not crazy. And you’re not alone.

Estimates suggest around ≈ 𝟮𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 — regardless of how well the procedure went.

This post-surgery pain often develops within the first few months and can be resistant to traditional treatments. Experts suggest it may result from nerve sensitivity, scar tissue buildup, or inflammation around the prosthetic joint.

For those who experience persistent post-operative joint pain, the typical recommendations are revision surgery, heavy medications, or just learning to live with it.

But there are other options…

If you're looking for a natural alternative, we're here to help. We offer 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 - you don't spend a dime unless you love the way you feel.

When chronic pain makes your energy unpredictable, consistency beats perfection every time.

Those days when you manage a 20-minute walk? Amazing. But the days when you can barely manage brushing your teeth? That counts too.

The 1% improvements add up:
✔️ Drinking one extra glass of water
✔️ Doing three gentle stretches
✔️ Choosing that anti-inflammatory snack instead of the usual chips.

Small moments of caring for yourself, even when everything feels hard.

Your wellness journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's. It just has to work for your reality. 💚

Does anyone else feel guilty when they cancel plans? 🙋‍♀️

It's such a natural response, feeling like you're letting people down or being "unreliable." But the truth is, sometimes our bodies have other plans that we're not in control of. Nowhere is that more true than chronic pain.

Unpredictable flares can hit out of nowhere. Deep fatigue can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. What felt manageable yesterday might feel impossible today.

Here's the thing: You don't get to choose when chronic pain shows up…

But you do get to choose how you respond to it. And choosing to honor what your body needs isn't something to feel guilty about.

The people who truly care about you want you to take care of yourself. They'd rather you rest when you need to than push through and pay for it later.

So if we may, feel free to let go of the guilt. This isn't something you're choosing. You're not responsible for your pain. You're taking care of yourself. 💚

Ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like you weren't heard? Or questioning whether your pain is "real enough"?

You're not alone. 💚

Medical gaslighting happens when healthcare providers dismiss, minimize, or question your symptoms. Research shows this disproportionately affects women and people of color - and it's especially common with chronic pain conditions.

🚩 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿:

1️⃣ They question the legitimacy of your medical history
2️⃣ They question your experience
3️⃣ They rush you
4️⃣ They cut you off or talk over you
5️⃣ They tell you what’s wrong without listening to you
6️⃣ They minimize the importance of your symptoms
7️⃣ They make you wonder if you’re being overly sensitive
8️⃣ They make you question whether it's "all in your head"

Here's the truth: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.

A medical degree doesn't make someone more qualified to understand your experience than you are.

If this sounds familiar, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 to help out the next time you’re heading to the doctor’s:

→ Record your symptoms over time in a journal
→ Write out questions beforehand
→ Bring a support person for back-up
→ Remember, you can always seek a 2nd opinion
→ Ask your care provider for a differential diagnosis*

*They’ll have to systematically rule out alternatives to their initial ‘gut’ response

Final Reminder: Your symptoms matter. Your experience is valid. And bare minimum, you deserve a care provider who listens. 💫

→ Have you experienced medical gaslighting? What helped you advocate for yourself?

Summer FOMO is real when chronic pain limits your plans. 🌞

The constant stream of beach trips, festivals, and outdoor adventures can make you feel like you're missing out on life itself.

Here's your reminder: This isn't your fault. Your body's doing the best it can.

Some gentle alternatives when traditional summer plans feel impossible:
→ Porch sitting with iced drinks
→ Indoor picnics with favorite foods
→ Video calls with friends from your couch
→ Gentle pool time or cool baths
→ Drive-through adventures
→ Sunset watching from your car

Summer doesn't have to look like everyone else's to still be meaningful. 💚
→ What's your favorite low-energy summer activity?

Water is magic for chronic pain.
💧When you're submerged, water supports about 90% of your body weight, giving your joints a break while your muscles still get to move and strengthen.
Essentially, the hydrostatic pressure acts like gentle, full-body compression, reducing swelling and improving circulation.
Unlike high-impact activities that can trigger flare-ups, swimming lets you move freely without the jarring stress on sensitive joints.
Plus, the rhythmic nature of swimming can be meditative, soothing both body and mind.
Start small - even 10-15 minutes of gentle movement in water can make a difference. 💚

→ Do you find water activities helpful for your pain?

Mantras aren't magic. They won’t erase pain. But they might be more helpful than you think.

🧬 Here’s the science: "Neurons that fire together, wire together."

So when you repeat calming phrases during moments of peace or grounding, your brain starts connecting those words with that calm state. 🧠

Over time, the mantra itself can help trigger that sense of grounding - even when pain feels overwhelming.

💫Some people find comfort in:
→ "This moment will pass"
→ "I am more than my pain"
→ "My body is doing its best"
→ "Breathe in calm, breathe out tension"

The key? Choose words that actually resonate with you, not what sounds "right" to others.

✨Do you have a phrase or mantra that helps center you?
