The Pain Teacher

Pain is the biggest risk and equally the biggest opportunity for your business…

🧠 $560-635 Billion annually is spent on pain (2012, American Pain Society)

🧠 34.1% of people are living in daily pain (2024, Economics & Human Biology)

🧠 NSAIDs were no better than placebo (2024, Nature Scientific Reports)

Today, you’re going to decide whether you keep losing clients to preventable injuries, don’t be the reason your clients suffer.

Universities still teach an orthopaedic model, and why wouldn’t they when elective surgeries are worth 15.6-21.1 billion US per year …

Despite MRIs showing over 50% of 30 year olds have disc degeneration without pain.

Personal trainers; you have the highest touchpoint with your clients to change pain, nutrition and lifestyle.

It’s an area which most coaches dread the conversation of, yet with the correct strategies in place, this can how you separate yourself from your competition and keep your clients for longer.

In this workshop, I will be covering:

👉🏼 Understanding your clients brain from watching them walk
👉🏼 Nutrition for brain fog
👉🏼 Addressing brain imbalances
👉🏼 Why you’re missing out if you aren’t training sensory systems

… and much more!

It's been 10 days since I arrived

What an amazing experience it has been so far.

The jet-lag wasn't even an issue as I've been immersed in the epic Australian lifestyle and a community infused with health and passion.

Living two minutes from the sea and having daily breathwork sessions on the beach has been a breath of fresh air.

Not to mention escaping the brisk British winter to arrive in some glorious weather and see some beautiful scenery

I've also been lucky enough to meet some amazing Institute students finally!

And last but definitely not least staying with Jake and Kat has allowed me to get to know them on a deeper level while seeing behind the scenes of a successful global business which I'm thoroughly grateful for.

There's some huge plans in motion and I cannot wait

Absolutely honoured to be involved in the Carter Institute ()

The focus centred completely around ‘Brain-Based Training for Pain’.

According to Linda Rath, you would have every right to be offended if someone said your pain was all in your head. But the truth is, pain is constructed entirely in the brain. This doesn’t mean your pain is any less real – it’s just that your brain literally creates what your body feels, and in cases of chronic pain, your brain helps perpetuate it.

One thing that struck me most on this call is how pain is a complicated warning system to protect you from harm.

Tia, who’s still processing what she learned from Martin that our body will always drive a response to threat to protect us, hence why we need awareness around this and recognising what it is we need to be kept safe from, and building on those weaknesses.

Liza’s takeaway was that ‘pain is always in the brain. If we want to change pain we have to change the brain’.

Connor has been amazed by the magnitude linked to the vestibular system with pain, balance issues, gut health challenges, blood pressure fluctuations, etc and how things like gluten and alcohol can affect the vestibular system!

Joe not only just agreed with Connor but added “neuroplasticity can be positively or negatively developed, which isn't surprising but the way Martin laid it out made a lot of sense.”

He also took some clarity from this call on what to do whenever his clients encounter fear or trying something new which will help him big time in providing a better service!

How many of your clients are in pain, and what are you doing to help them?

Just my take on how to properly assess for liver dysfunction....

It goes well beyond the blood markers too, without a history we can't truly interpret the bloods effectively!

Have you got long standing health issues you want help in resolving?

In my experience the root cause of a number of issues is emotionally driven.

Manifesting into a number of physical symptoms

Every organ holds relevance to emotions

The disease process you're experiencing could quite likely stem from the suppression of these associated emotions.

It can also work the other way

Are your emotional outbursts a message from the body to look inwards towards organ dysfunction?

I'm looking for 5 people who want to find their root cause and optimise their health

Your body tells a story

It never lies

It just needs to be interpreted correctly

What you're viewing as the issue is likely a symptom.

A message that something else needs to be addressed

Luckily for you this is a language I'm fluent in

If you're suffering with any of these let me know in the comments

Can we combine subjective and objective markers of health to aid in understanding what is going on within your body?

Blood tests 🩸 aren't always available to everyone

Although I would suggest getting at least 1 yearly. You MOT your car every year right? Why not yourself too!

But that's not the only option.

If you know how to read the body. It gives you insight into how it functions.

Have you got poor digestion? Bloating?

How many of these other factors are familiar?

They all point to low zinc which is essential for production of stomach acid

Are liver enzymes on a blood test a good indication of needing change 🩸

Or should we be aware before it gets to this stage?

Elevated liver enzymes will indicate a degree of damage has already occurred.

The following biomarkers will all give you a subjective understanding of liver health to catch it before it becomes an issue

Do you want to optimise your health and physique?

What is functional medicine?

How does it differ to conventional medical practices?

Rather than looking at the median averages we look at optimal markers of health 🩸

The overwhelming majority of the population sit somewhere on the deficiency, dysfunction, disease spectrum.

1 in 2 have chronic disease
Roughly 80% have nutrient deficiency

So how would the average of these markets be optimal for health?

We have to look deeper to find optimal.

That's the first major difference.

The other being the focus of identifying root cause and addressing this through lifestyle change connecting all bodily systems.

Rather than using drugs to suppress symptoms.

Have you been told that your health is fine despite knowing you're not right?

What is driving your chronic pain, illness or movement dysfunctions?

When we look within and assess internal workings of the body, the limbic system holds the most influence over other aspects of our physiology.

It's constantly asking two questions
Am I safe❓
Is the world safe❓

Through pattern recognition of past events sometimes subconscious events of trauma can come to the surface and present in physical manifestation of symptoms.

The trigger could be a certain smell, sound, environment that drives the subconscious perception of a thought, feeling or emotion that kicks off this pattern recognition as a protective mechanism.

Change your thoughts, you can change your pain
