Episode 122: How Body Alignment Can End Back Pain with Dr. John Dempster
Episode 122
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
One night of poor sleep can raise pain intensity by 30% for the next 1–2 days, and that's just the beginning of what Dr. Rob Vanbergen and Dr. John Dempster unpacks in this episode. In this episode of the Pain Free for Life Podcast, Dr. Rob Vanbergen is joined by Dr. John Dempster, a board-certified naturopathic doctor and founder of The Dempster Clinic in Toronto, specializing in functional medicine and root-cause approaches to chronic illness. Together, they explore why chronic pain is often more than a localized issue and how factors like blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, sleep disruption, stress physiology, unresolved trauma, and nutrient deficiencies can all amplify pain over time. Dr. Dempster shares practical insights on protecting long-term health through lifestyle foundations, while Dr. Rob highlights how healing requires addressing the full system, not just symptoms.
