In this episode, Leigh Brandon explores a largely overlooked contributor to chronic pain: non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

Drawing on clinical experience, research, and decades of observation, Leigh explains the difference between natural (native) EMFs and the man-made EMFs produced by modern technology such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headphones, WiFi, smart watches, laptops, smart meters and other everyday devices.

He discusses why most EMF-emitting technologies have never been properly tested for long-term biological safety, and how EMFs can contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, nervous system dysregulation and increased pain sensitivity.

Leigh also places EMFs into a broader historical and health context, showing how patterns of chronic pain and illness have risen alongside increasing electrical and wireless exposure, before sharing practical, realistic steps you can take to reduce EMF exposure in daily life — without abandoning modern technology.

This episode is about awareness, not fear. And about empowering you to make informed choices that support pain reduction, nervous system regulation and long-term health.

Pain is rarely just physical.

In this powerful and deeply reflective conversation, Paul Chek joins me to explore pain as both a biological signal and a profound teacher — one that shapes our consciousness, relationships, and personal evolution.

We dive into how emotional and psychological experiences influence physical health, why unresolved pain often repeats itself in the body, and how the biopsychosocial model offers a far more complete framework for healing than symptom-based approaches alone.

Paul also shares personal experiences that reveal how accidents, injuries, and life challenges often carry deeper meaning, guiding us toward growth, awareness, and responsibility. We explore the role of community in healing, why isolation can intensify suffering, and how Spirit Gym was created as a space for personal development through shared learning and conscious connection.

If you’ve ever felt that your pain has a story — or a purpose — this episode will resonate deeply.

Key Topics We Cover:

• Why pain is both emotional and physical

• How past experiences shape present pain

• Pain as a guide for growth and awareness

• The biopsychosocial model explained simply

• How consciousness influences healing

• The importance of community in recovery

• Spirit Gym and the role of personal responsibility in health

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by psychotherapist and yoga teacher Catia Batalha to explore the deeper meaning behind chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and psychosomatic symptoms.

Catia shares her personal journey with autoimmune illness and how it led her to investigate the powerful relationship between the mind, body, and intuition. Together, they discuss why symptoms are not random, how the body communicates through pain and illness, and why ignoring early warning signs can lead to persistent or chronic conditions.

This conversation explores:

• Why chronic pain and autoimmune symptoms often persist

• The mind–body connection in psychosomatic conditions

• How intuition and awareness play a role in healing

• Why symptoms are signals, not mistakes

• Empowerment, responsibility, and listening to the body

• Karma, life experiences, and the interconnected nature of health

If you’ve tried treating symptoms without lasting relief, this episode offers a deeper perspective on how healing begins with awareness — and learning to listen to what your body is trying to tell you.
