Beyond The Pain

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Greg Lee for a thought-provoking conversation about chronic pain, hidden conditions, emotional trauma, toxins, and some of the more advanced therapies being used to help people heal.
Greg shares his fascinating journey from NASA engineer to holistic practitioner, and explains how that path led him into working with frequency-based scanning technologies, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, detoxification strategies, microcurrent therapy, and other integrative approaches to chronic illness and pain.
Leigh and Greg discuss how hidden factors such as mold, parasites, biofilms, toxins, and unresolved emotional trauma may contribute to persistent symptoms, and why supporting the body’s energy, drainage, and detoxification pathways may be an important part of the healing process. They also explore the links between brain health, nerve function, emotional trauma, and chronic pain, along with practical first steps for people who feel overwhelmed and want to begin addressing root causes.
This is a fascinating conversation that challenges conventional thinking and opens the door to a broader understanding of pain, healing, and recovery.

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Stan Kurtz for a thought-provoking conversation on chronic pain, inflammation, trauma, stress, toxicity, and the deeper factors that may be driving pain in the body. Stan shares how his own family experiences led him into this work, why he believes many chronic issues have root causes beyond symptoms, and why pain may be better understood as a signal rather than the problem itself. 
Leigh and Stan also explore the relationships between inflammation, dysbiosis, stress physiology, trauma, and chronic pain, as well as Stan’s views on why the body may prioritise survival and stress responses over detoxification. They also discuss biomechanics, perception, and why changing the inputs into the body may influence pain, energy, and overall function. 
In this episode, they discuss:
Stan’s personal journey into health and recovery work

Why he believes toxins, stress, trauma, and inflammation can all play a role in chronic pain

The idea that pain is a signal asking for attention

The connection between stress, perception, physiology, and pain

Why unresolved trauma may affect healing

Practical lifestyle ideas Stan suggests people experiment with

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Dr. Kevin Smith, a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist with more than 25 years of experience helping people uncover and address the root causes of chronic pain.
Dr. Smith shares his journey from chiropractic student to seasoned practitioner, and explains how his curiosity about complex patient cases led him to expand beyond structural care into the world of clinical nutrition. Together, Leigh and Dr. Smith explore why chronic pain is rarely as simple as it seems, and why a more holistic, investigative approach is often needed to create lasting change.
They discuss the difference between acute and chronic pain, the role of degeneration, posture and muscle imbalances, why movement patterns matter so much, and how missed developmental steps can influence pain and performance later in life. Dr. Smith also explains why educating patients is such a vital part of the healing process, and why collaboration between health professionals can lead to better outcomes.

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon sits down with Matt Johnson, who shares his remarkable journey from surviving a severe brain injury to discovering powerful mind-body approaches to healing.
Following his injury, Matt found himself navigating persistent symptoms and limitations that conventional approaches struggled to resolve. This experience led him to explore hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and other subconscious-focused methods — ultimately transforming not only his own recovery but also his professional path.
Together, Leigh and Matt explore how the subconscious mind influences pain perception, the role trauma can play in chronic pain patterns, and how techniques such as hypnosis and NLP may help individuals reframe experiences, reduce suffering, and support recovery. The conversation highlights the profound connection between mind and body, while offering insight into how empowering the individual can become a central part of the healing process.
This episode provides a thought-provoking look at alternative perspectives on pain management and recovery, and invites listeners to consider how addressing subconscious patterns may open new pathways toward healing.
