Healing from Chronic Pain & Finding Your "Stimuli" with Jim Curtis
Tue Feb 03 2026
"Without our health, we don't have anything."
Join host Heather in this deeply personal and enlightening episode of Health, Harmony and Heather as she sits down with Jim Curtis—author, motivational speaker, and health tech innovator.
Jim shares his harrowing and inspiring journey of battling a mysterious, undiagnosed chronic illness 20 years ago that eventually left him in a wheelchair. From searching for answers at Johns Hopkins to learning from Kung Fu masters and shamans, Jim discusses how he moved past despair and pain to reverse his condition through a shift in mindset and functional medicine.
In this episode, we explore:
The "Anti-Inflammatory Mindset": How mental inflammation can be more destructive than physical inflammation.
The Stimulati Experience: Discovering the "stimuli"—the extraordinary people and minds that ignite our passion and propel us toward healing.
Bio-Individuality: Why there is no "silver bullet" and how to find the specific diet and lifestyle hacks (from cold therapy to grounding) that work for your unique DNA.
Navigating Big Food & Pharma: Understanding how marketing impacts our health and why we must become advocates who "question our doctors".
The Power of Breath: Practical tips on nasal breathing and the "box breathing" technique to lower stress and oxygenate your body.
Whether you are dealing with a health setback or simply looking to "crowd out" bad habits with better ones, this conversation provides a roadmap for taking your life into your own hands.
