Episode 043

Why do we experience pain? What role does inflammation play in the pain we experience? Did you know that your skin absorbs everything you apply to it?

In this episode of HYDRATE, David Perez and I discuss the ways that we experience pain and how that experience should be different. No matter the age that we are, we all experience some sort of pain, for which 95% of it is due to our body responding to inflammation. This inflammation is caused by more than just what we eat.

Plus, David emphasizes honoring our body and being careful of what we put on our skin. As most of us are unaware of the transdermal delivery system, which is when the skin absorbs what is applied to it into our bloodstream, being aware of the toxins and preservatives that we have to avoid applying to our skin is crucial to avoiding any sort of inflammation or pain in the near future.

David Perez is a humanitarian, philanthropist, and serial entrepreneur with over 36 years of executive management experience working in, establishing, and financing start-ups that are focused on nanotechnology, nutrition, telecom, software technology, wireless, and finance. His true passion is saving lives, disaster relief, and logistics operations for NGOs.
