Dr. Howard Schubiner, MD, is a physician and researcher who has spent over 20 years studying chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression — and what he's found changes everything. His new book, Unlearn Your Pain, lays out the science behind why your brain creates these symptoms and how they can be fully reversed.

If you've been trying to decode every symptom — chest tightness, flares, intrusive thoughts, dizziness — searching for the hidden meaning your body is trying to send you, this video is going to reframe what's actually happening. The message you're looking for is there. It's just not what you think it is.

If you're exhausted from trying to figure out what every twinge, thought, and flare means — this is for you.
