107. Healing Digestive Issues & Brain Fog with Alex Eckford

33 minutes

If you're dealing with digestive issues—whether it's IBS, chronic gut problems, or discomfort that's followed you since childhood—or if brain fog has been stealing your clarity and focus, this episode is one you don't want to miss.

Alex Eckford can't remember a time when her body felt "normal." From elementary school stomach aches to debilitating brain fog as an adult, she spent years chasing diagnosis after diagnosis—mold, parasites, histamine intolerance—and watched her list of "safe" foods shrink until eating became its own source of anxiety. Nothing brought lasting relief.

Then she found mind-body work, and everything shifted. Through the Mind-Body Healing Method and private sessions, Alex experienced a true transformation—not just managing her symptoms, but actually healing them.

In this episode, Alex shares her journey from constant symptom-scanning to food freedom, and how understanding her nervous system helped her brain fog finally lift.

✨ Why years of protocols and food elimination didn't bring lasting healing
✨ The moment she realized her symptoms were tied to her nervous system, not infections or toxins
✨ How understanding the "red, yellow, green" zones helped her brain fog disappear
✨ The shift from "what's wrong with me?" to "how can I support my body?"
✨ What true food freedom looks like after years of restriction
✨ Why healing doesn't have to be hard—and how simple, consistent practices created the biggest changes

If you've been wondering whether your symptoms could be neuroplastic, or if this work might be right for you, Alex's words at the end might just be the nudge you need: "If you're wondering if it's for you, it probably is."
