How to Heal Pain Using Compassion, Mindset, and Food with Vinny Crispino

Once Upon A Food Story

What if your pain has a deeper message – and you could learn how to listen, respond, and even heal?

Pain isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental, and often tied to the deeper stories we carry in our bodies. But those stories aren’t fixed, and we have the power to transform them.

Vinny Crispino, founder of Pain Academy and expert in pain science, knows this firsthand. After a life-changing injury, he moved from resisting his body’s signals to understanding and working with his nervous system. Now, he helps others improve their relationship with pain through compassion, movement, mindset, and nourishing choices – including food.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why pain can lead to self-sabotage and disconnection
• How mindset shapes our experience of pain, and why it’s not your fault but your responsibility
• What turns an acute injury into chronic pain (and how to stop that cycle)
• Simple, supportive steps to help your body begin healing
• The connection between food and pain and how certain choices can soothe rather than inflame
• How to build a loving, bidirectional relationship with your body

You’ll feel inspired to challenge your story about chronic pain, start using anti-inflammatory foods to nourish your body, and find healing through compassion and self-love.
