Reflections on Andrew Huberman's podcast:
‘PROTOCOLS TO STRENGTHEN & PAIN PROOF YOUR BACK’

I’m furious. Mid 20yo with LBP presented to primary care terrified to move, stressed about posture & structure, thinks there’s a nerve being compressed between the “delicate” bones. Look at this nocebic bullshit. How is this allowed?? This needs to stop. This is HARM

‼️ 2 weeks to go to our (Un)Conference ‼️

Let’s connect, exchange and energise while thinking with our theme of Health Justice and engagement with health-related industry stakeholders.

It is a FREE and hybrid event. Registration: events.humanitix.com/sociohealthlab…

This is a very important message for all healthcare providers.

Further marginalizing marginalized populations (poor insurance, chronic conditions, financial toxicity from treatment/inability to work, unhoused) is not the solution to the broken healthcare system.

I’m curious to know which online videos for chronic pain patients people have found the most meaningful and useful. Hands down for me- youtu.be/ZUXPqphwp2U?si… Prof Tamar Pincus is the most impactful as a single video at any stage of a patients journey..

What a privilege to talk about #science on the same stage with these incredible #womeninSTEM and #changemakers ! Anne Kazak Anna M Hood PhD Dr. Melanie Noel #SPPAC2024 #thisispedpsych

This diagram can be applied to patient engagement activities.

Patient engagement is about belonging.

If you truly want ideas + feedback from patients + caregivers, you must create safe spaces for them to share.
