69 - Rewiring Your Nervous System: Overcoming Chronic Fatigue, Trauma, MCAS, Somatic Symptoms & More
How to Rewire a Hypersensitive Nervous System – Chronic Fatigue, MCAS, Somatic Symptoms, Panic & More
What happens when your nervous system crashes so hard you end up in the psych ward?
In this deeply personal and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Miguel Bautista of CFS Recovery to talk about his journey from bedridden and hopeless to living a full, thriving life.
We dive into what a hypersensitive nervous system really is, how conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), long COVID, and POTS are connected, and why so many people are being misdiagnosed or dismissed by the medical system.
We cover:
•The warning signs your nervous system is approaching collapse
•How trauma, stress, overwork, and illness create a “perfect storm”
•Why MCAS can cause extreme food and chemical sensitivities—and how to heal
•The difference between panic attacks and severe nervous system dysregulation
•Practical steps to calm, retrain, and increase your nervous system capacity
•How to use mindset and neuroplasticity to rewire your brain
•What recovery looks like after rock bottom
Whether you’re currently struggling with unexplained symptoms, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand the link between stress, trauma, and chronic illness, this episode is a must-listen.
