Retrain the Brain for Chronic Illness | Anxiety and Stress Relief, Immune Dysregulation, Nervous System Regulation, Food and Chemical Sensitivities, Mindbody Healing

**Get unstuck from chronic illness with an advanced method of brain retraining!** Are you grappling with persistent chronic symptoms, pain, fatigue, anxiety, or sensitivities that simply won't resolve? Have you tried countless diets, medications, therapies, or lifestyle changes, only to find yourself still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless? This podcast is for you if you're ready to move beyond endlessly searching for the next supplement or treatment modality, and address the emotional and mental root causes of your health issues. We will talk about the profound mind-body connection in chronic illness and how accumulated stress can impact our physical health. We explore how chronic conditions often stem from emotional and psychological factors, including repressed emotions, inner conflicts, unresolved trauma, and habitual responses to stress, rather than solely structural issues. Hi, I'm Madeleine Lowry, a neural retraining specialist and MAP Practitioner. I will introduce you to the advanced brain retraining approach that I use with my clients that works directly with the subconscious mind to unlock and transform the deeply embedded patterns keeping you stuck. Unlike basic brain retraining methods requiring hours of practice, repetition of scripts and affirmations, or self-directed emotional excavation, this advanced approach is efficient, gentle, and effortless with practitioner-led sessions over Zoom. The rewiring happens in the session - no practice needed! The goal is to change neural patterns and fundamentally rewire your response to stress, moving you out of the constant "fight, flight, and freeze" mode and into a "rest, digest, and heal" state for a calmer nervous system and improved immune function. In this podcast we will delve into the crucial role of trauma healing, particularly early life trauma, which shapes your nervous system's stress response for a lifetime unless effectively addressed. Further, we'll explore how common personality traits—such as being a perfectionist, people-pleaser, caretaker, or fixer—often lead to the suppression of our own emotions and needs, adding to accumulations of stress and setting the stage for chronic illness. For highly sensitive individuals, empaths, and intuitives, these emotional burdens and reactions can be even more pronounced, making this process invaluable. If you are experiencing chronic health issues, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or food or chemical sensitivities, and feel like you've tried everything, please give a listen. If you are looking to calm your nervous system, resolve stress at its roots, and achieve deeper, more comprehensive healing, this series offers a fresh perspective and a proven path forward. Tune in to uncover how advanced neural retraining can lead to remarkable improvements, from reduced anxiety and quieted worry loops to better digestion, improved sleep, and significant decreases in symptom frequency and intensity. Discover how you can gain self-awareness, build self-acceptance, assert boundaries, and become more centered and grounded, making daily stresses feel more manageable.
