Episode notes
Ashok Gupta's Personal Healing Story
- Ashok Gupta's journey began with his own severe chronic fatigue after a virus, which traditional medicine couldn't diagnose or treat.
- Using brain retraining techniques, he fully recovered and has since dedicated 25 years to helping others with similar conditions.
Brain Dysregulation Causes Chronic Illness
- Chronic illnesses often stem from brain dysregulation causing misfiring rather than just bodily issues.
- The brain prioritizes survival over wellness, perpetuating defensive immune responses even when the threat is gone.
Overstimulated Immune System Analogy
- The immune and nervous systems act like an overstimulated army fighting perceived threats indefinitely.
- This creates a vicious cycle of inflammation, system exhaustion, and chronic symptoms perpetuated by brain feedback loops.
