This is like mind mind, like body, a podcast about the surprising ways our thoughts and feelings

can impact our physical health. I'm your host, Laura Sago, and on

each episode I will speak with researchers, physicians, and ordinary people who have incredible

stories to tell about the power of the mind-body connection. As usual, it is important to note that

this podcast is a part of the Curable universe.

And for those of you who are just starting out with Curable, we create science-backed healing

and recovery programs for people with chronic pain.

And the information that you will find in this podcast is just a tiny slice of what you can

find everywhere else. So make sure to follow

Curable on Facebook and Instagram, download the Curable app. Curablehealth.com is another great place

to begin. Today on the show, we are joined by Christy Uwipi, who is the former associate

director of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles,

and who is now working with another podcast guest of ours, Dr. Bethany Raines,

on an amazing project about the future of chronic pain care for United Health Group.

It's very exciting.

Today, she is joining us to share a lot of insights about what

she's learned from treating hundreds, even thousands of patients during her time at the

Pain Psychology Center. Let's dive in.

Today, I am recording another episode of Like Mind, Like Body from my home studio here in Chicago, Illinois, coming to you live from quarantine.

And I am joined by the wonderful Christy Uwipi.

Hi, Christy. Hi, Laura. I am joining you the wonderful Christy Uwipi. Hi, Christy.
