In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about:

A powerful evidence-based brain rewiring technique called Graded Motor Imagery (GMI)

GMI is used by many people, including world class athletes, to improve how their brains and bodies communicate with one another

In people with chronic health conditions, GMI helps rewire the brain's response to tasks/triggers

The HUGE amount of peer-reviewed studies showing the effectiveness of GMI in improving chronic muscle/joint pain

How we have also seen GMI techniques improve other symptoms like gut pain, headaches, food and chemical sensitivities, dizziness, fatigue, anxiety and abnormal stress response to triggers

How to rewire your response to triggers and turn off unwanted sensations in your body and mind
