I'm Christopher Blakeslee, an ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach through Chris Kresser's ADAPT Academy. This is the short version of my story of recovery from 34 years of health problems and 15 years of disability due to severe chronic pain of multiple autoimmune diseases. At the time of posting this video, I'm writing a book with former Mayo Clinic doctor Jim Lemons on how to deal with chronic health problems through functional and lifestyle medicine, and applying the principles of pain neuroscience. With these interventions, I've ended my nearly ten-year dependency on narcotics and muscle relaxers, I've undergone a body transformation of losing around 100 pounds and regaining almost three inches of height, and am fully healthy! I've also made a fuller version of my story which better conveys the complexity of what I've been through.
