Dr Brian's PhD research examined the intricate relationship between nutrition and chronic pain. We discuss how dietary patterns influence pain management and vice versa, and the importance of consuming foods (like colourful vegetables and fruit) rich in antioxidant nutrients, plus practical tips for incorporating a variety of vegetables and fruit into your meals. Dr Brain shares insights from her research and clinical practice, offering actionable advice for those living with chronic pain.
