Welcome to “Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine”
This podcast explores how a person’s lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Chronic pain and insomnia are often intertwined, exacerbating each other and resulting in a vicious cycle. The presence of chronic pain can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia. Similarly, insomnia can worsen chronic pain symptoms as the lack of restful sleep can intensify pain perception. Understanding the connection between these conditions is vital for individuals struggling with both to improve their quality of life.
In this episode, Annie Mille is a renowned clinical social worker treating chronic pain and insomnia. She has dedicated her career to understanding the intricate relationship between neural pathways and the brain’s role in these conditions.
As a therapist, she was intrigued by the connection between chronic stress, past traumatic experiences, and the development of chronic pain. As she delved deeper into the subject, Annie discovered that the brain could become sensitized to pain due to constant stress, leading to the development of chronic pain even when there is no identifiable structural cause. This realization sparked a passion in her to help people understand the true source of their pain and find relief by teaching them how to separate fear from their physical sensations.
Through her work at DC Metro Therapy, she has helped countless individuals better understand the underlying causes of their pain and sleep issues, empowering them to regain control of their lives.

"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
