Immune System Dysfunction, Stress, and the Brain: The Science of Psychoneuroimmunology


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered about the Brain–Immune Connection? And how stress patterns impact immune function?

In this episode neural retraining specialist, Madeleine Lowry, explores immune system dysfunction through the lens of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)—the science that examines how the brain, nervous system, and immune system affect each other.

If you’ve experienced:

  • Lingering or recurrent infections

  • Viral reactivations

  • Delayed wound healing

  • Food or chemical sensitivities

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
  • Autoimmune symptoms

  • Stress-related flare-ups

    …this episode offers a deeper explanation of what may be happening beneath the surface.

    You’ll learn:

    • How chronic stress alters immune signaling

    • Why the HPA axis and cortisol rhythms matter

    • The difference between immune suppression and immune overactivation

    • How trauma and long-standing stress patterns affect inflammation

    • Why symptom flares often follow emotional triggers

    • How advanced neural retraining helps reduce subconscious threat patterns

    • Why brain retraining is not a replacement for medical care—but can be a powerful adjunct

      This episode is educational, science-based, and grounded. It does not suggest that illness is “all in your head.” Instead, it explains how immune dysregulation often reflects a nervous system that has been in survival mode for too long.

      When subconscious threat perception decreases, immune regulation often improves.

      Learn more about subconscious neural retraining and how it can support emotional and physical wellbeing.
