This episode is brought to you by the brilliance of one Lindsay Ejoh. She is a neuroscientist that joined the pod to talk about how we experience pain in our body (and especially in the brain). We discuss the wide world of pain research and explore the placebo effect and its opposite (nocebo), how our body naturally relieves pain, what chronic pain looks like in the brain, and more!
