Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Are you one of the 52 million people in the U.S. who experience chronic pain daily? In It Doesn’t Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life, Dr. Sanjay Gupta—a practicing neurosurgeon and CNN’s multiple Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent—debunks the myth that most pain problems can only be fixed with a drug or procedure, and argues that we have tremendous agency with how to respond.

There is more evidence than ever about the benefits of sleep, diet and nutrition, mindfulness-based pain management, myofascial and other hands-on treatments, as well as yoga, specialized psychotherapies, and even social “prescriptions.” Dr. Gupta shares the latest science-backed pain relief techniques and insights from leading pain scientists and specialists.

He also covers how to make sense of over-the-counter pain products, as well as drugs prescribed by your doctor. Dr. Gupta is the host of the CNN podcast “Chasing Life” and the bestselling author of Chasing Life, Cheating Death, Monday Mornings, and Keep Sharp.
