Can pain be a good thing?

According to Dr. Joanne Messenger, pain isn’t only good – it’s an essential tool needed for the road to overall mental and physical health.

"Disease and pain are your body’s way of telling you what is wrong – like where you need to change what you’re doing,” she says.

Her new book, Be in One Peace, details how to understand pain as a way to pinpoint mental and physical issues that have been ignored and need to be resolved.

Dr. Messenger speaks with Joyce on the Powerful Patient.
