Remember a few weeks ago when Garet was talking about Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and mentioned something about the use of dopamine to regulate pain levels? Well, that fun fact stuck in Katie's head in a big way so this week Katie teaches us about the connection between dopamine and pain perception - and can you believe it? It's different for folks who were assigned male at birth than it is for folks assigned female a birth! If ONLY we had seen this in every other study we've ever looked into...wait...oh yeah. We also discuss the effects that chronic pain has on the brain and dopamine production and reception and then discuss that gem of a commencement speech by Harrison Butker - because the bar is ankle high.
