Ross interviews Dr. Dave Clark, a physician who specializes in "neuroplastic symptoms" — real physical conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and fibromyalgia that are generated by the brain in response to unresolved stress, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences rather than structural or organ disease. 

Research shows that 88% of chronic spine pain is brain-generated, and a landmark study found that neuroplastic therapy reduced pain by 75% in just four weeks among patients who had suffered for an average of a decade. 

Dr. Clark directs people seeking help to the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms at symptomatic.me, which offers a self-assessment quiz, practitioner directory, and a variety of resources.
