In this episode, Stacey Roberts sits down with Karen Bigman, who spent years doing all the "right" things — physical therapy, injections, specialist after specialist — and still couldn't find relief. What finally helped wasn't another treatment. It was understanding the connection between her body, her emotions, and the stress she'd been carrying for years.

Karen's story isn't unusual. For a lot of people, pain doesn't have a simple fix — and that can feel incredibly isolating. This conversation explores why that is, and what it actually looks like to start feeling better when nothing else has worked.

If you've ever felt dismissed, frustrated, or just plain exhausted by your own health journey, this one's for you.

He then took the strength coach position at Brookfield East, where he helped football and women's swimming win a state title. This led to the opening of Wisconsin Sports Performance on December 1st, 2021, a dream that had been burning within Stephen for a long time.

[00:03:00] Risks include cartilage damage, fractures, and rare joint collapse

[00:04:40] Cortisone shots near the shoulder linked to higher risk of rotator cuff tears

[00:06:14] More injections = higher risk of total joint replacements (especially knees)

[00:08:00] Injections into replaced joints can increase infection risk

[00:09:00] Systemic effects: blood sugar spikes, insomnia, flushing, elevated BP

[00:10:12] No “safe” number of injections—many studies show risk with just 1–2

[00:11:00] Safer options available

[00:13:40] Stacey’s personal story: Why she said no to the cortisone shot (and wrote her book)

[00:17:00] Why cortisone is still widely used

[00:22:06] Studies shows changes in biomechanics can reduce arthritis pain and slow progression

[00:24:02] If surgery is coming, when to avoid cortisone

[00:25:00] Strategic use may be okay but repeat use often backfires

Safety Reminders:

⚠️ Important: Cortisone injections carry risks including cartilage breakdown, rotator cuff tears, systemic side effects, and higher rates of joint replacement. Discuss all options with your provider. If surgery is planned, avoid injections within 3 months of the procedure. This information is for educational use only and is not considered medical advice.

In this episode of The Pain-Free Formula Podcast, Stacey Roberts explores the hidden impact of ultra-processed foods—those industrial, ingredient‑heavy items that often dominate modern diets—and how they may be quietly fueling inflammation associated with muscle and joint pain. Stacey walks through the evidence based science of gut barrier disruption, oxidative stress, microbiome imbalance, and how these mechanisms connect diet to pain signaling.

You’ll also get practical strategies for dialing down the inflammatory fire. This episode is for anyone who wants to understand why their pain flares and what to do about it.

   ]]>e3dde526-5a58-4cfb-aed3-948a9be833d5Tue, 14 Oct 2025 03:00:00 -040022:29falsefull32 | 7 Foods That Are Pain-Fighting PowerhousesNot everyone wants to rely on supplements or prescriptions to manage joint pain, and the good news is, you don’t always have to.

   In this episode of The Pain-Free Formula Podcast, Stacey Roberts walks you through 7 common foods that are rich in polyphenols, natural plant compounds that act like your body’s clean-up crew. These antioxidant-rich pantry staples not only reduce inflammation but can also support joint tissue, gut health, and circulation. From olive oil and tea to turmeric and berries, Stacey breaks down how these foods work and where to find them in your kitchen.

   You’ll also learn why even “healthy” foods can sometimes cause inflammation and how food sensitivity testing, like the ALCAT, can help you figure out exactly which pain-fighting foods are right for your body.

   If you’re looking for practical, natural ways to reduce joint and muscle pain without another pill bottle—this episode is for you.

   Dosing & Safety Reminders

   Polyphenols are consumed via whole foods, not in isolated supplement form.

   
   

   Sensitivity matters: even healthy foods can cause inflammation if your body is reacting to them.

   Featured Foods From Your Pantry

   These everyday foods are rich in polyphenols and support joint and muscle health:

   ]]>Not everyone wants to rely on supplements or prescriptions to manage joint pain, and the good news is, you don’t always have to.

   In this episode of The Pain-Free Formula Podcast, Stacey Roberts walks you through 7 common foods that are rich in polyphenols, natural plant compounds that act like your body’s clean-up crew. These antioxidant-rich pantry staples not only reduce inflammation but can also support joint tissue, gut health, and circulation. From olive oil and tea to turmeric and berries, Stacey breaks down how these foods work and where to find them in your kitchen.

   You’ll also learn why even “healthy” foods can sometimes cause inflammation and how food sensitivity testing, like the ALCAT, can help you figure out exactly which pain-fighting foods are right for your body.

   If you’re looking for practical, natural ways to reduce joint and muscle pain without another pill bottle—this episode is for you.

   Dosing & Safety Reminders

   Polyphenols are consumed via whole foods, not in isolated supplement form.

   
   

   Sensitivity matters: even healthy foods can cause inflammation if your body is reacting to them.

   Featured Foods From Your Pantry

   These everyday foods are rich in polyphenols and support joint and muscle health:

   Olive oil (especially EVOO, high in oleocanthal)

   
   

   Green and black tea

   
   

   Coffee (in moderation, watch the sugar and additives)

   
   

   Spices – turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, star anise

   
   

   Dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao)

   
   

   Berries – blueberries, blackberries, raspberries

   
   

   Nuts – especially walnuts and pecans

In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey is joined by Dr. Gabriel Pallante, a physical therapist, dry needling specialist, and the Founder of Health Hive LLC.

   During this thought-provoking discussion, Stacey and Dr. Pallante discuss the need to rethink how practitioners approach persistent pain and physical dysfunction. Rather than focusing only on the site of discomfort, Dr. Pallante emphasizes whole-body connections, the nervous system’s role in pain responses, and the importance of looking beyond surface symptoms. The conversation highlights how different perspectives and philosophies can align when examined through the lens of modern science.

   You'll hear about clinical practice and emerging research, showcasing how certain techniques may influence the body’s stress responses, mobility, and healing capacity. Learn how scientific findings, brain imaging, and cross-disciplinary studies are shaping how experts understand long-term pain patterns, protective mechanisms, and recovery. The discussion also touches on how technology and new modalities can complement traditional approaches to help patients move and feel better.

   This episode underscores the need for practitioners and patients alike to see the body as an interconnected system, providing insight into why addressing hidden contributors to pain, rather than simply chasing symptoms, can be transformative.

   Drawing inspiration from a popular documentary series, Stacey highlights how extreme challenges faced by host Chris Hemsworth reveal a deeper truth: pain is not only a signal but also a gateway to unlocking the body’s natural systems for relief. With insights from medical experts and decades of her own experience, she introduces the idea that the mind and body have far greater capacity to manage discomfort than we often realize.

   The conversation then turns to science-backed methods that activate the body’s internal pharmacy, endorphins and other natural opioids, without the drawbacks of conventional pain medications. You'll hear about groundbreaking research, including findings from meditation retreats where participants showed measurable increases in natural painkillers. These studies point toward practices such as meditation, visualization, breath work, and even social connection as powerful tools to regulate pain while improving overall well-being.

   By reframing pain as a message rather than an enemy, this episode encourages you to try accessible practices that harness the body’s innate intelligence, without needing extreme challenges to prove what science already shows.

   The discussion explores why relying solely on conventional medications can come with long-term risks, and how a more natural approach can help support the body’s healing process without those negative side effects. You'll discover the science behind key compounds that influence how our bodies respond to pain and inflammation.

   Learn how certain nutritional elements work on the same pathways as popular over-the-counter drugs but in gentler, more sustainable ways. Rather than overwhelming the body, these nutrients offer subtle yet powerful effects that build up with daily use.

   You'll find practical tips for identifying high-quality options, how to incorporate them into everyday meals, and what signs indicate their potency. From choosing the right product to understanding how storage and freshness play a role, this episode equips you with actionable insights. The result is a compelling case for adding a simple, flavorful ingredient into daily routines as a long-term ally in the fight against pain and inflammation.

   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.

   The discussion covers how pain and physical limitations can sneak up on people who are otherwise healthy, active, or even trained professionals, and why ignoring early symptoms may make things worse. You'll hear a candid back-and-forth about why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work, and how real relief comes from addressing both the obvious and the hidden causes.

   Discover how different systems in the body interact, and why paying attention to small cues, like how you move or what you wear, can make a big difference. Stacey and Kim emphasize taking a more holistic, proactive approach rather than relying on quick fixes or outdated advice.

   Whether you’re dealing with discomfort yourself or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of hope that long-term improvement is possible.

   While many experience noticeable relief, she raises a critical question: Is this method offering true healing or just temporary silence for a deeper issue the body is trying to communicate? The conversation opens with the mechanism behind this treatment and explores why it may be more complex than it's typically presented.

   As the discussion unfolds, Stacey introduces emerging research that reveals potential systemic effects of repeated use, especially for those with underlying health concerns. A recent study has sparked questions about how this treatment interacts with the brain and immune system, particularly in individuals who may be more vulnerable due to conditions like chronic inflammation, autoimmune issues, or neurodegenerative risk factors. The science isn't fully settled, but the implications are worth exploring for those considering long-term reliance.

   Is Botox really helping your pain or just silencing a deeper message your body’s trying to send? In this episode, Stacey explores the neuroscience behind Botox and why some emerging research calls for a closer look. If you’re navigating chronic pain, tune in for critical insights that could change how you think about treatment, relief, and long-term healing.

   ]]>In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey explores a popular treatment that's often associated with aesthetics but is increasingly being used for various forms of chronic pain: Botox.

   While many experience noticeable relief, she raises a critical question: Is this method offering true healing or just temporary silence for a deeper issue the body is trying to communicate? The conversation opens with the mechanism behind this treatment and explores why it may be more complex than it's typically presented.

   As the discussion unfolds, Stacey introduces emerging research that reveals potential systemic effects of repeated use, especially for those with underlying health concerns. A recent study has sparked questions about how this treatment interacts with the brain and immune system, particularly in individuals who may be more vulnerable due to conditions like chronic inflammation, autoimmune issues, or neurodegenerative risk factors. The science isn't fully settled, but the implications are worth exploring for those considering long-term reliance.

   Is Botox really helping your pain or just silencing a deeper message your body’s trying to send? In this episode, Stacey explores the neuroscience behind Botox and why some emerging research calls for a closer look. If you’re navigating chronic pain, tune in for critical insights that could change how you think about treatment, relief, and long-term healing.

   She dives into a physiological metric that’s gaining popularity, but is often misunderstood, especially in relation to chronic discomfort. Far from being a dry medical stat, it’s revealed to be a dynamic, real-time reflection of how our bodies adapt to the stressors of modern life, and it may be the key to unlocking greater resilience and calm.

   You'll be guided through the ways this measure interacts with the nervous system, pain sensitivity, and emotional states. Stacey draws powerful connections between what’s happening in your body and how seemingly small shifts—like breathing patterns, daily movement, mindfulness, and even sleep quality—can create meaningful change. Techniques rooted in ancient wisdom and modern research are highlighted as practical steps to gently move out of "fight or flight" and into a more healing, parasympathetic state.

   Want to reduce pain without meds? This episode reveals how your heart’s rhythm may hold the key. Tune in to learn how small changes—like your breath, sleep, and mindset—can improve your nervous system and help you heal from the inside out.

   1. The concept of heart rate variability (HRV) and its relevance to pain relief, healing, and wellness.
   
   

   
   

   1. Why low HRV makes the body more sensitive to pain, similar to how pain medications and stress can increase pain sensitivity.
   
   

   
   

   1. Science-backed strategies to improve HRV, starting with slow, controlled breathing, which stimulates the vagus nerve and increases parasympathetic tone.
   
   

   
   

   1. Mindfulness and meditation practices, such as body scans and guided visualization, and their effectiveness in increasing HRV over time.
   
   

   
   

   1. The importance of sleep in HRV improvement, with better sleep leading to higher HRV during deep, restorative stages.

   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. With practical tips and compelling science, Stacey will help you to rethink what’s possible for healing and reclaiming your life.

   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.

   In today’s discussion, Stacey and Sheri discuss the subtle art of creating lasting change through simple, manageable actions.

   During this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, two longtime friends and healthcare professionals reunite to revisit a moment when an everyday discomfort prompted an unexpected treatment experiment—and sparked a broader conversation about the tools they bring from their training into personal life. As they recount that initial experiment in managing muscle soreness, you'll get a sense of how professional techniques can become part of our own self-care routines, even years after leaving the classroom.

   The discussion then shifts to a profound family health challenge, exploring the crossroads between clinical duty and deep familial love. Mitchell shares how witnessing a loved one’s difficult medical journey forced him to reconcile the nurse’s instinct to "fix" with the grandson’s desire simply to be present. They discuss how grief can begin long before a final goodbye, and how honoring someone’s personal choices can become a lesson in respect, compassion, and healing for everyone involved.

   This episode is not only informative—it’s a moving reminder of the resilience that lives in all of us, especially when we are most vulnerable.

   ]]>In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey is joined by Mitchell Mocadlo, an old friend and registered nurse.

   During this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, two longtime friends and healthcare professionals reunite to revisit a moment when an everyday discomfort prompted an unexpected treatment experiment—and sparked a broader conversation about the tools they bring from their training into personal life. As they recount that initial experiment in managing muscle soreness, you'll get a sense of how professional techniques can become part of our own self-care routines, even years after leaving the classroom.

   The discussion then shifts to a profound family health challenge, exploring the crossroads between clinical duty and deep familial love. Mitchell shares how witnessing a loved one’s difficult medical journey forced him to reconcile the nurse’s instinct to "fix" with the grandson’s desire simply to be present. They discuss how grief can begin long before a final goodbye, and how honoring someone’s personal choices can become a lesson in respect, compassion, and healing for everyone involved.

   This episode is not only informative—it’s a moving reminder of the resilience that lives in all of us, especially when we are most vulnerable.

   Drawing from centuries of traditional medicine, Stacey examines two common ingredients that may already be sitting in your kitchen—ingredients with surprising potential to naturally ease inflammation and promote mobility. As always, the goal is to find effective, drug-free strategies for pain relief that empower the body to heal itself.

   Stacey breaks down the science behind why these natural remedies have gained renewed attention, particularly among those seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals. You'll learn how specific compounds found in these everyday items work on the body’s inflammatory pathways, much like popular over-the-counter medications—without many of the associated side effects. Discover how these remedies support overall joint health, and why they may work even better when paired with other elements of a holistic wellness plan.

   Whether you’re new to natural pain relief or already exploring alternative therapies, this episode offers a practical, well-researched perspective on harnessing the power of nature to support long-term healing.

Crafting a New Narrative About PainIn today's episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, Stacey challenges long-held beliefs about what it truly means to live without pain.

   Drawing on decades of experience as a physical therapist and nurse, Stacey invites you to rethink the conventional narratives around pain management and the often-frustrating cycle of quick fixes and temporary relief. With a mix of personal insight, real-life stories, and a science-backed approach, she opens the door to a new definition of what a pain-free life can actually look like.

   You'll be taken on a journey that explores why so many people remain stuck in cycles of discomfort, even after trying all the standard solutions. Stacey uncovers lesser-known contributors to persistent pain, from overlooked movement patterns and hormonal imbalances to gut health and inflammation. This episode is more than just information—it’s a mindset shift.

   Whether you're frustrated with a lack of lasting relief or just curious about what's really possible when it comes to living with less pain, this episode promises to shake up your thinking—in the best possible way.

   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.

   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.

   You'll discover emerging research suggesting that a common, go-to solution for pain might actually be prolonging recovery, increasing sensitivity, and even contributing to long-term issues that linger far beyond the original injury: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs.

   Beyond the personal impact, this issue is deeply embedded in a system that influences our choices in subtle yet powerful ways. From aggressive advertising strategies to deeply ingrained habits, Stacey explores how the industry has shaped public perception for decades. A compelling story from a seemingly ordinary travel experience serves as a stark reminder of just how early these habits begin—and how difficult they can be to question.

   Hear about practical, research-backed strategies that support the body’s natural recovery process without relying on the usual quick fixes. From time-tested methods to innovative approaches that are gaining traction, this episode reveals ways to navigate pain management more effectively.

How You Move Matters - The Link Between Biomechanics, Hormones and Persistent PainIn today's episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, Stacey recounts how a knee injury at a family wedding led to a cascade of interconnected challenges, including unexpected heel pain and eventual plantar fasciitis.

   Drawing on her extensive experience as a physical therapist, you'll learn how compensatory movement patterns following the knee injury may have triggered these new issues, emphasizing the importance of addressing biomechanics to alleviate stress on affected tissues.

   Learn the fascinating role that hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play in tissue elasticity, anti-inflammatory responses, and overall joint health. Stacey highlights how hormonal changes, especially during life stages like perimenopause, can make tissues more prone to stiffness and injury.

   This episode serves as a compelling reminder of the intricate balance between the body's physical mechanics and its internal chemistry. Stacey challenges common assumptions about pain management and healing, advocating for a holistic approach that combines movement optimization, hormone evaluation, and, only when necessary, hormone replacement therapy.

   After exhausting traditional methods of pain relief—including targeted exercises and even considering surgery—she stumbled upon a hidden factor that had been influencing her body all along. Through an unexpected patient interaction and deep research, she uncovered a little-known connection that could change the way we think about chronic pain and inflammation.

   You'll discover an emerging concept that ties together different systems in the body in ways most doctors don’t talk about. With compelling scientific insights, the episode explores how everyday choices might unknowingly contribute to discomfort and what can be done to address it.

   If you've been searching for lasting relief and are open to rethinking the root causes of pain, this conversation offers three practical, research-backed steps that could be the game-changer you've been waiting for.

   ]]>In today's episode of The Pain Free Formula podcast, Stacey shares a surprising personal journey that began with unexplained discomfort and led to a groundbreaking realization.

   After exhausting traditional methods of pain relief—including targeted exercises and even considering surgery—she stumbled upon a hidden factor that had been influencing her body all along. Through an unexpected patient interaction and deep research, she uncovered a little-known connection that could change the way we think about chronic pain and inflammation.

   If you've been searching for lasting relief and are open to rethinking the root causes of pain, this conversation offers three practical, research-backed steps that could be the game-changer you've been waiting for.
