About the Episode

If your symptoms just keep hanging around despite trying every treatment, supplement, diet, and meditation app out there, this episode is for you! Research is showing that brain retraining can lead to big shifts in everything from chronic fatigue to memory, and it’s not just for those with major trauma or illness.

In this episode, Ashok Gupta, an internationally recognized health practitioner and creator of the Gupta Program, dives into how brain retraining can make a real difference for chronic conditions like Lyme, mold-related illness, burnout, anxiety, Long Covid, and chronic fatigue.

Listen now and start retraining your brain today!

What We Discuss

Ashok developed a unique program that goes beyond just meditation, focusing on training your brain to shift from survival mode to a healthier, thriving state. He explains how the Gupta Program uses daily practices and live support to help you rewire your nervous system, which, according to clinical studies, leads to improvements in symptoms and everyday functioning.

Nervous System Regulation

The nervous system governs how your body responds to stress and illness, but in chronic diseases, it can become stuck in a heightened state of alert, causing ongoing symptoms. Brain retraining works to reset these responses, teaching your brain to interpret signals differently and reduce the overactive alarm system that perpetuates these symptoms. This kind of regulation is a foundational step toward recovery, as it encourages a relaxed, balanced state where your immune system and body can function optimally.

Brain Retraining Explained

Unlike conventional treatments that often address symptoms superficially, brain retraining works at the neurological level, aiming to regulate the nervous system and foster genuine recovery. This approach is especially relevant for people dealing with complex, persistent conditions where traditional medicine may fall short. By changing how your brain interprets and reacts to chronic illness signals, the program helps reduce symptoms and break patterns that contribute to ongoing illness.

Clinical Studies

Scientific validation is vital when evaluating alternative treatment methods, and the Gupta Program has been backed by multiple rigorous clinical studies, including randomized controlled trials. These studies provide compelling evidence of the program’s effectiveness in significantly reducing symptoms like pain, fatigue, and anxiety, particularly in challenging conditions such as fibromyalgia and Long Covid.
