Episode Details

Do we have to accept pain as we get older? In this episode of HCA Talks Health, we speak with Stacey Roberts - a registered nurse, musculoskeletal specialist, pelvic and sexual health physiotherapist, and functional medicine expert, about practical ways to live pain-free, regain movement, and feel more in control of your health.

Stacey is also the author of The Pain-Free Formula: Solving the Puzzle of Muscle and Joint Pain Without Surgery, Drugs, or Injections, bringing evidence-based strategies and real-life insights to the conversation.

She shares her own experience of sudden knee pain and how it inspired her to help others live pain-free, without immediately turning to surgery or medication. Stacey explains why pain isn’t just a mechanical issue, and how your brain, hormones, diet, stress, and lifestyle all play a role. 

Tune in to discover:

• How to retrain your brain and body to move without pain
• The surprising links between diet, inflammation, hormones, and joint health
• Insights into pelvic pain in men and women and what often goes unnoticed
• Practical, everyday strategies for staying active and living pain-free at any age

Stacey’s approach reminds us that pain doesn’t have to control our lives and that small, mindful changes can make a huge difference.
