In this enlightening episode of the Radical Health Rebel Podcast, I sit down with fellow CHEK Faculty member Matt Sorensen to explore the often-overlooked connection between internal organ health and chronic pain.

We dive deep into how dysfunction within the body's organs can trigger chronic pain through mechanisms such as viscerosomatic and psychosomatic reflexes — pathways where organ stress and emotional health manifest as physical pain. Matt shares his expert insights into how recognizing and addressing organ-related dysfunctions can be a game-changer in resolving stubborn pain issues that don't respond to conventional approaches.

Whether you're a health practitioner, someone living with chronic pain, or simply curious about the deeper connections within the body, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new dimension of healing.

Tune in to discover how true holistic health must consider the vital role of the internal organs — and how real transformation happens from the inside out.
