About this listen

 Welcome to the Wellness By Design podcast. I believe every one of us has the power to achieve optimal wellness not by reacting to the world around us but by intentionally designing a life based on what our own body needs. This show is for people who want to relieve pain and inflammation naturally by addressing root causes, rather than masking symptoms and by tapping into the wisdom of their body, mind and spirit. And I want to give you the tools to help make that happen.©️2025 Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Discover how The Tapping Solution app can help you reduce stress, manage pain, and find emotional balance with this exclusive offer for the Wellness By Design community: https://cf.thetappingsolution.com/app-download-sp-aff?fpr=jane70&fp_sid=bydesign Most chronic pain isn’t just physical—but it’s driven by something much deeper...Join me and my guest, Dr. David Hanscom, to learn more about why your self-critical voice may be the hidden trigger behind your persistent pain, why a top spine surgeon walked away from the operating room, and how emotions like envy, gossip, compassion, and joy all play a surprising role in your body’s healing. This is a conversation that could change the way you think about pain—and how to finally move beyond it. In this episode you’ll learn: ⏰ 02:49 - Why Dr. David stopped doing back surgery ⏰ 11:06 - Thousands of research papers point to the nervous system to resolve pain ⏰ 20:06 - The self-critical voice (95% of us have it!) as a trigger for chronic pain ⏰ 28:56 - Emotions, like envy, and acts, like gossip, that generate pain ⏰ 36:10 - Compassion, altruism, peace, and joy as emotions to calm the nervous system. ⏰ 39:08 - Connection, awareness and persistence are the key ⏰ 45:49 - The ONE thing you can do to activate self-healing Check out Dr. David Hanscom’s Bio: David Hanscom, MD, practiced complex orthopedic spine surgery for 32 years. He quit his practice in Seattle, WA, to present his insights into solving chronic mental and physical pain. They evolved from his 15-year battle. He escaped from the ordeal and discovered that mental pain was the biggest issue. Anxiety is the pain. He is working on a new book addressing RUTs (repetitive unpleasant thoughts). He discovered they are solvable by addressing threat physiology and the cognitive component. His book, Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain, systematically presents well-documented treatments for chronic pain. His self-directed action plan, which reflects many successful patients' journeys, is available at www.thedocjourney.com. He launched a movement called “Dynamic Healing,” which recognizes the interactions between stress and one’s coping capacity, causing sustained threat physiology. Dealing with stress more effectively and increasing the resiliency of the nervous system allows healing. He is active as a speaker, author, and consultant. His work and resources can be accessed at www.backincontrol.com.

After personally experiencing the healing potential of the Hache Protocol for Pain Resolution™, Dr. Vanbergen joined Dr. John and Dr. Lorry Hache at Pacific Health Options. In addition to his knowledge and certification in microcurrent therapy, he became a certified holistic healthcare practitioner with training in biofeedback, neurofeedback, hypnotherapy, homeopathy, aromatherapy, auriculotherapy and counseling.
