    Ep: 16 How to effectively communicate with your brain with Dr. Brad Fanestil, MD

    Ep: 16 How to effectively communicate with your brain with Dr. Brad Fanestil, MD

    In this episode, internal medicine doctor Dr. Brad Fanestil, founder of The Boulder Institute for Mind Body Medicine, shares how he treats anxiety, depression, and chronic conditions with neuroscience. His techniques are simple but powerful. He shares many of them during our conversation.

    Here's what Dr. Brad has to say about his experience. "I’ve been a board certified Internal Medicine doctor for 33 years. After completing my Internal Medicine residency at UCLA, I began working in a public clinic in Los Angeles from 1990-1992. For the next 17 years I had a traditional Internal Medicine practice just outside of Boulder. I had been doing my best to help patients deal with their chronic pain and prescribing medications, but many saw no improvement over decades. In 2018 I began reading about the new neuroscience of pain and the brain, and I started applying some of these new ideas to my own primary care patients with chronic pain. "

    Connect with Dr. Brad to learn more about his classes and offerings.

    Best of health and thank you for your support.

    Dr. Kenael and Laura

Rebeca Segraves ,

This podcast is Gold!

I love how real your conversations are. I’ve learned so much from how I have wired my brain to regulate my body yet never put into words the impact our actions have had on me and the people I’ve treated with chronic pelvic pain. Thank you for creating such a welcoming space to heal in!

Miss On The Move ,

So educating & empowering!

Every single episode is filled with soooo much knowledge, especially on topics that we don’t hear talked about publicly. It’s encouraging to see professional women of color educating us on issues we need to be more comfortable discussing. Thank you!!!!
