Thousands of people have come to me with ongoing pain despite the best medical treatments. Things like fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, bursitis, nerve pain, and arthritis. They can make life tough and frustrating.

Medical school and residency taught the usual ways doctors diagnose and treat pain. They help some people. But they don't work for everyone.

In the last 25 years, I've seen thousands of suffering patients. I also studied a ton of natural medicine and learned about your own capacity for self-healing. There are three important things that regular medicine often misses.

When we care for these three things, many people feel less pain, suffer less, and have a better life.

Even if they "tried everything".

What if there are things that you could do to help your pain, even if you've received the best medical care?

They Called It Fibromyalgia. They Were Wrong

And the accurate diagnosis is changing her life.

She was in her 20s, exhausted, in pain, and losing her life one day at a time.

Chronic abdominal pain. Widespread body pain. Poor sleep. Hormonal chaos.

Everyone labeled it fibromyalgia or stress.

But something important was hiding in plain sight — something her doctors never asked about, and something that completely changed her diagnosis.

The problem wasn’t her mindset.

The problem was a missed diagnosis.

Today she’s finally receiving treatment that targets the actual cause — and the transformation has already begun. Watch the video for more details.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right—but your stuck and you just can't heal?

It’s not in your head. It’s in your biology.

Your emergency defense systems are meant for survival.

But sometimes they fail to stand down when the crisis is over.

They hijack your energy, mood, digestion, and even your motivation.

And then you've got delayed healing and maybe chronic illness or pain.

Check out the newest post where I reveal how to recognize when your system is stuck in “danger mode,” and what it takes to guide it back to healing.

Stress isn't bad. It's good.

That might seem odd, because maybe you've heard it IS bad.

Stress is what helps you perform. To get up in the morning.

To take care of your family.

To fight off an infection.

To do well on a test.

To play sports or music.

Your stress response is a positive thing.

But the main issue is whether stress is out of balance.

When the stress is out of balance, your system gets out of balance.

And THAT is bad.

Too many people continue to suffer from chronic pain and illness despite the best conventional medical care.

And an unbalanced stress response is one of the main things that can worsen pain and prevent healing.

Modern science proves what common sense already knows.

Meanwhile, evolving science is showing us reasons why pain and illness get worse rather than better.

And that knowledge is powerful.

Because when you know what is driving the suffering, you can make powerful choices to change it.

Imagine if you had a set of tools to shift your biology. To enhance your sense of well-being. And to even change the course of illness.

I'm excited to share a video that discusses the most important of these things that worsen pain and prevent healing. And the things you can do to change that. I believe it could resonate with you on a deeper level, offering insights that empower you.

What if I told you the best thing to improve your pain, chronic illness, and well-being is to align your body and life with your soul?

When I say “aligning with your inner soul,” I mean connecting with your inner self. You have an inner dimension that is a potential source of healing, wisdom, and strength.

Whether you use the language of “soul” or not, your "inner place" can help you heal and grow.

As you learn to live in integrity with your true self over time, you become less affected by external stressors and more focused on living your purpose.

This shift towards authenticity leads to a greater sense of ease and well-being, with profound biological effects.

Over the past 30 years, I have had the honor of supporting countless individuals as they moved through the process of recovering from catastrophic illness and injury.

I'm eager to share why Inner Transformation Is The Key To Healing Chronic Illness and Pain. See the new blog here: https://drshiller.substack.com/p/why-is-inner-transformation-the-key

Surviving a health catastrophe is only the beginning.

Too many people never fully recover—not because of lack of willpower, but because the medical system focuses on treating symptoms instead of the root causes of health-robbing dysfunction.

Twenty-five years in rehabilitation medicine have shown me how overactive protective responses derail recovery—and why an integrative, whole-person approach is essential for getting your life back.

My father was a medical doctor and so am I.

Both of us were trained to diagnose narrowly-defined problems, mainly problems with the physical body.

When I was in training, there was already a new breeze blowing in the air that encouraged us to think about "psychosocial factors" in disease. That idea got ridiculed by many of my teachers and fellow trainees. And the docs of my dad's generation mostly were unaware that the conversation was even going on.

But science has marched forward.

Now, abundant research tells us that these psycho social factors are important.

Things like mindset, emotional states, diet, exercise, social support. Breathing exercises, meditation, movement, healthy food, and so on.

They're not just "nice to have". They are powerful modifiers of your bodily function. They even change gene expression. What?

Yes they change gene expression.

And they change hormone activity, pain processing, nerve activity, immune function, and gut function. And all of these variables feed into one another and determine how well or sick you feel, and how intense is your pain.

Integrative medicine isn't "hooji wooji".

It's reality based. Evidence based.

And the people who are practicing "old school medicine" or denying the importance of a holistic perspective are just missing the boat because of their cognitive dissonance.

Question is...

What Kind of Care Do You Want?

Someone who actually understands how all your parts work together.

Or someone who is going to treat your parts individually, as if they're not in relation to one another.

You get to choose.

Do you have any thoughts or comments about these ideas? Have they shown up in your experience of medical care?

Please share your thoughts in the comments!

Conventional medical thinking and treatment often fail to solve chronic pain.

That's shown in the medical research and in tens of thousands of patient encounters in my own experience.

In contrast, there are simple, safe, science-based principles that support the healing process. There are obstacles to healing. You can learn simple things that remove those obstacles. So your body-mind system can heal. So you can feel better and live better. Even if you've "tried everything".

Fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, bursitis, nerve pain, and arthritis. They can make life tough and frustrating.



Medical school and residency taught the usual ways doctors diagnose and treat pain. But many many people continue to suffer despite the best medical care. People have knocked on my door saying they had "tried everything"

But they hadn’t tried “everything”. They had tried the conventional medicine from their doctors. Some of them tried complementary therapies that didn’t help.

It was a big wakeup call for a young idealistic doctor fresh out of training.

So I went on a journey, and studied a ton of natural medicine. And I learned about the inner healing wisdom that we all have inside of us.

What became clear is that conventional pain diagnosis and treatment often misses three important things.

When we care for these three things, many people feel less pain, suffer less, and have a better life.

Even if they "tried everything".

What if there are things that you could do to help your pain, even if you've received the best
medical care?

Osteoarthritis of the hips and knees and other joints.

Painful and debilitating.

If your provider is only giving drugs and injections, that's not very caring.

Osteoarthritis is a holistic process and needs a multi-faceted approach, grounded in science, compassion, and open-minded about alternatives to injections and toxic drugs.

Learn more and empower yourself.
