Don’t think nutrition or over the counter supplements or psychological tools can safely help reduce pain? The evidence clearly says otherwise. See the latest Huberman Lab podcast with @DrSeanMackey MD PhD & Chief of Pain Medicine @StanfordMed

Regular exercise is the factor most strongly associated with longevity.

Most people do not exercise or stop exercising because of limited free time.

Therefore, trying to 'fit exercise in' will always be a huge challenge.

Try to think about how to 'Free Up Time' instead.
