Chronic pain is epidemic and traditional treatments are causing health disasters in this country. The widespread use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are wreaking havoc on the health of many worldwide and they might not even know it’s happening. These are meant to be used for acute pain and short term use, but there are many people that are taking them every day for years. Long term use of these drugs can cause kidney damage, fluid retention, liver stress, create a higher risk of heart disease, and can cause damage to the gut.

Are there other options? YES. It’s not the norm to be walking around in pain on a daily basis. There are many habits and lifestyles that contribute to this type of pain without you even knowing it. What we eat, our activity levels, our emotions all play a role in our discomfort levels. We’re here to say that there is hope and it’s possible to live pain free. We’ll cover natural supplements and new habits that can help you on the journey to living without pain. What is chronic pain? (1:35) What are the common side effects of NSAIDS?

Jim Smith, an Air Force Veteran, joined us in studio! We talked about why he joined the military - we talked about different planes, some 'unique' missions, AND most importantly - we get to hear a great conversation between veterans that covered a lot of ground!! This was a fun and interesting podcast! www.oathandpledge.com

A podcast centered around our soldiers, veterans, and the civilians they protect! Through conversations, questions, and stories - we will address topics like healthcare, lessons learned, relationships, combat, the transition out of the military, and more! Our veterans take an oath - we say a pledge - what does that mean and why are they important?!
