In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey takes a closer look at a widely prescribed drug that was originally developed for seizures but has since become a go-to option for a variety of pain-related conditions: Gabapentin. You'll learn how it works in the body, why it’s often given out so freely, and why its off-label use has raised concerns among healthcare professionals. Along the way, Stacey highlights the double standard between how medications and natural remedies are evaluated and points to emerging research linking the drug to cognitive decline.From its surprising history to its current role in treating everything from nerve pain to insomnia, you'll discover how this medication often suppresses symptoms without addressing the root cause of pain. Stacey discusses potential side effects, the problem of increasing tolerance over time, and withdrawal challenges. She also examines recent findings suggesting possible long-term brain health risks, including a connection to dementia, and considers how the drug’s mechanism might interfere with the brain’s ability to adapt and repair itself.The message of the episode is clear: while the medication may provide temporary relief, sustainable pain management and brain protection require getting to the root cause.If you've enjoyed this episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!Enjoy!In This Episode You'll Learn:Why Gabapentin was originally developed for epilepsy, but is now widely prescribed for nerve pain and other conditions.The common side effects of Gabapentin, which include sedation, dizziness, brain fog, balance issues, memory loss, and emotional blunting.A 2022 study linked Gabapentin and its cousin, pregabalin, to an increased risk of dementia in older adults.Why balancing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol is crucial for pain perception and overall health.And much more...Resources:Links to Study 2025:Risk of dementia following gabapentin prescription in chronic low back pain patientsThe association between Gabapentin or Pregabalin use and the risk of dementia: an analysis of the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37324474/The Pain Free Formula: Solving the Puzzle of Muscle and Joint Pain Without Surgery, Drugs, or Injections https://amzn.to/3U0fLbKNew You Health and Wellness https://newyouhealthandwellness.com/New You Health and Wellness eBooks https://newyouhealthandwellness.com/ebooks/Grab a copy of The Pain Free Formula book on Amazon https://a.co/d/hTq9kTlThe Pain-Free Formula Podcast is brought to you by Stacey Roberts.

In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey challenges long-held beliefs about chronic pain and introduces a groundbreaking perspective: that persistent pain may not stem solely from injury or dysfunction in the body, but from the brain’s emotional and sensory responses.Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, she explores how specific brain circuits—notably in the amygdala—may amplify the emotional sting of pain, even when the physical cause has healed. You'll hear about new research revealing that our brains, regardless of age, remain capable of change, and this neuroplasticity could be the key to reducing or even eliminating chronic pain.The conversation shifts from science to strategy, offering hope-filled, practical ways to influence how the brain processes discomfort. Stacey emphasizes that pain perception is deeply shaped by past experiences, emotions, and internal narratives—and that by using tools like aerobic movement, meditation, better sleep, targeted nutrition, and simple mindset shifts, we can begin to rewire these ingrained pain patterns. Instead of treating pain as something to suppress or fear, she encourages you to understand it as a signal that can be transformed through intention and lifestyle.This episode offers a powerful invitation: to take control of your body by first taking control of your thoughts.

In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey tackles one of the most confusing areas of health and wellness—supplements.She opens by revisiting a 2002 American Medical Association recommendation that adults consider daily multivitamin use due to widespread nutrient deficiencies. With thousands of supplement options on the market today, You'll be introduced to three foundational supplements she recommends to nearly every patient: a high-quality, bioavailable multivitamin, potent fish oil, and clinically effective probiotics. Each plays a key role in improving energy, balancing hormones, calming inflammation, and helping people feel more like themselves.Stacey addresses skepticism surrounding multivitamins, such as the common belief that they result in expensive urine. She explains that quality and formulation matter deeply—many supplements on the market are low quality, poorly absorbed, or filled with synthetic ingredients that don't benefit the body. By highlighting personal anecdotes and clinical evidence, including studies linking long-term multivitamin use to reduced colon cancer risk, she emphasizes the importance of using GMP-certified, third-party tested, bioavailable supplements from reputable brands.This episode will walk you through how to identify effective versions of each supplement, offer personal success stories, and encourage simplifying supplement routines by starting with a strong, research-backed foundation.Ready to upgrade your supplement routine?

In today's episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, Stacey explores the shocking truth about sham surgery and why it’s not just shocking but essential to understand.While surgery often seems like the obvious solution to pain for many, Stacey challenges this assumption by delving into the surprising and lesser-known concept of "sham surgery." This intriguing procedure, designed as a placebo, mimics real surgery to test if the actual intervention is truly effective or if it’s the belief in surgery itself that leads to improved outcomes. By examining clinical trials and research, she reveals mind-bending findings that suggest why in many well-documented cases, patients experience more relief with “fake” surgeries than the surgical procedures themselves.You'll discover the importance of considering whether surgery is truly the best option, especially when considering the significant rise in joint replacement surgeries in younger people and, according to academic journals, the rising rate of unnecessary surgeries. Stacey also brings attention to the growing concern of revision surgeries, where patients require follow-up operations due to complications or failure of the initial procedure.This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing surgery, considering it as an option for pain relief or who wants more information to discuss with their physician regarding whether surgery is right for them.
