Welcome to The Most Painful Podcast! This podcast covers all aspects of chronic pain by presenting evidence-based information that provides better insight into chronic pain. Recent Government of Canada research found that Veterans are twice as likely to suffer from chronic pain compared to others in the Canadian population. We aim to investigate how this impacts Veterans and their families. We explore topics such as cannabis and psychedelics, and do they help treat chronic pain? We also investigate back surgery, military identity and what military and professional athletes have in common with identity. The evidence-based information on the show will help Veterans, clinicians, researchers, and anyone suffering from chronic pain. It is a 360-degree approach to education on chronic pain.

Live from Invictus: Reconnecting Through Service with Bruce Thompson

Welcome back to The Most Painful Podcast! We're continuing our Live from Invictus series, bringing you exclusive conversations straight from the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, BC. In this episode, I had an unexpected but incredible reunion with Bruce Thompson—we discovered that we had served together in the same unit years ago. Bruce is now dedicating his time to supporting fellow Veterans through his work with Veterans Connect, an Edmonton-based organization focused on mental health and peer support. We discuss the challenges Veterans face, the importance of staying connected, and the work being done to ensure no Veteran struggles alone.Stay tuned for more powerful stories from Live from Invictus!
