Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook for Beginners

“The Way Out” by Alan Gordon is a practical, neuroscience-based guide for people living with chronic pain who feel like they have tried everything and are still stuck. Gordon explains that much ongoing pain is “neuroplastic pain,” meaning the brain has learned to misinterpret safe sensations as dangerous, and then shows readers how to retrain those pain pathways using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a method validated in clinical research. Drawing on his own story of debilitating pain and his work as founder of the Pain Psychology Center, he combines science, case studies, and simple exercises to help readers calm their nervous system, turn down the brain’s danger alarm, and finally experience lasting relief.
