Ali Damron, an acupuncturist, certified personal trainer and mom of two little boys, shares her knowledge and experience on life, health, fitness, business and life and how to tie it all together.
In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of self-compassion and why true change stems from self-love rather than self-hatred. Drawing on Kristen Neff’s three pillars of self-compassion—mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness—we explore how criticism impacts the brain, raising danger signals that dysregulate the nervous system and contribute to anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
Learn practical tools to calm your inner critic, rewire your brain, and embrace growth with grace and self-acceptance.

Are you struggling with chronic pain or persistent symptoms that medical treatments can’t seem to resolve? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of neuroplastic pain—pain and physical symptoms that are generated by the brain rather than by physical injury or disease. We’ll break down exactly what neuroplastic pain is, how it develops, and why your symptoms might not show up on medical tests.
You’ll learn how to identify if your symptoms could be neuroplastic, with common indicators like chronic back pain, migraines, IBS, chronic fatigue, or even symptoms that seem to “move” or get worse with stress. Understanding the symptom-fear cycle is key: this cycle of pain, fear, and preoccupation can keep your body in a state of tension, reinforcing your symptoms and making healing feel impossible.
We’ll cover the number one thing required to heal from chronic symptoms and pain. This episode is all about giving you the tools to take control of your healing journey by addressing the mind-body connection behind your symptoms.
If you’re ready to move beyond simply managing pain and discover a new approach to lasting relief, this episode is your starting point!

In this episode of The Ali Damron Show, we're diving into why focusing solely on hormones during perimenopause might be keeping you stuck. While hormonal fluctuations are a natural part of this life stage, many women experience severe symptoms—like anxiety, mood swings, and insomnia—that often stem from nervous system dysregulation, not just hormones.
Join me as we explore how the demands and pressures of midlife contribute to stress overload and why true healing starts with regulating your nervous system. You’ll learn practical strategies to calm your body’s fight-or-flight response, shift your mindset, and finally address the root cause of many persistent symptoms.
If you’re ready to stop chasing symptoms and start feeling more balanced and resilient, this episode is for you!

Are you stuck in an endless cycle of trying to heal but never truly finding relief?
In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of becoming addicted to the pursuit of healing. It starts with a genuine desire to feel better but can quickly turn into a relentless search for the next diet, protocol, or expert to provide the 'magic cure.'

Healing isn't just about what you do, it's about who you're being—let's shift your mindset to cultivate real health from within.
