250: Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill: Rewiring the Brain for Healing with Ashok Gupta

Dr. Jill Carnahan invites Ashok Gupta, an expert in neuroplasticity, to discuss how we can harness the power of the brain to heal from chronic illnesses. This conversation is crucial for anyone interested in understanding how our mental and physical health are interconnected.  Throughout the episode, Ashok Gupta shares his groundbreaking insights on rewiring the brain, explaining how certain thought patterns can perpetuate inflammation and lead to an autonomic imbalance. Using his Gupta Program, Ashok discusses strategic approaches to break these cycles and promote healing and resilience. Join us for this informative and inspiring discussion on Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan. Whether you're struggling with chronic conditions or simply looking to enhance your mental health, this episode with Ashok Gupta is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice. Key Points: ① Neuroplasticity as a Healing Tool: Limbic retraining harnesses the brain's neuroplastic potential to interrupt maladaptive stress and threat responses originating from the amygdala, insula, and anterior cingulate cortex—pathways often implicated in chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, long COVID, mold toxicity, and chronic Lyme disease. ② Rewiring Dysregulated Threat Perception: The Gupta Program helps patients identify and disengage from unconscious fear-based patterns that perpetuate inflammation, autonomic imbalance, and HPA axis dysregulation—restoring homeostasis through self-directed neurocognitive techniques like visualization, mindfulness, and vagal tone activation. ③ Integration with Functional Medicine: Brain retraining serves as a critical adjunct to biochemical and physiological interventions by addressing the top-down influence of trauma, stress, and limbic system over activation, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of gut-healing, detoxification, and immune-modulating protocols. 💖 Ashok Gupta: https://guptaprogram.com/aff/202/  Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential. Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others, and then published the well-known neuroplasticity recovery program known as the Gupta Program in 2007. He has published several medical papers and is continually researching these chronic conditions. Recently, a randomized controlled trial was published showing the Gupta Program was highly effective compared to a control.

241: Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill: Understanding Toxic Load: A Functional Medicine Approach to Testing with Dr. Jason Barker

Using a Functional Medicine Approach to Testing we discover the hidden dangers of mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals, and learn how these toxins can contribute to serious health issues such as cancer, hormonal imbalances, and neurological disorders. Dr. Jason Barker shares his expert insights on identifying and mitigating these toxic burdens to enhance overall wellness. Prolonged exposure to environmental toxins can have much more severe, lasting effects on health. Over time, the accumulation of toxins can lead to health concerns. ✅ Cancer: Many environmental toxins, such as carcinogens, trigger mutations at the cellular level, increasing the risk of developing various types of cancer. ✅ Hormonal imbalances: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can mess with hormone production and regulation, leading to issues like infertility, thyroid dysfunction, and metabolic imbalances. ✅ Autoimmune diseases: Accumulated toxins can overwhelm the immune system, leading it to malfunction and attack the body’s own tissues – contributing to autoimmune conditions. ✅ Neurological damage: Long-term exposure to neurotoxic chemicals can result in cognitive decline, memory loss, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. The Vibrant Total Tox Burden Test evaluates three main categories of toxins: ✅ Mycotoxins: Mold toxicity is much much more common than you might think – with hidden mold spores lurking in many homes and workplaces. This test measures 29 different mycotoxins –  providing a thorough assessment of any mold-related toxins that may be hiding out in your body. ✅ Heavy Metals: Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic (to name just a few) are notorious for accumulating over time and contributing to a whole range of health issues. The test measures 20 different heavy metals, helping to identify any buildup of these toxic substances. ✅ Environmental Chemicals: These are synthetic or man-made chemicals, such as pesticides and forever chemicals, that are rampant in everyday products, in the food and water we consume, and even in the air we breathe. The test assesses 38 different environmental chemicals that may be impacting your health, providing a broad view of your exposure to modern-day toxins.
