  • #51: Dr. Ashok Gupta - How Brain Retraining Transforms Chronic Illness

    In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret sits down with Ashok Gupta for a deep dive into the brain's pivotal role in chronic illness—exploring how conditions like Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, and persistent inflammation can often be rooted in neural and nervous system dysregulation. They discuss the distinction between hardware (the body) and software (the brain and nervous system), the science and process of limbic retraining, and practical ways clinicians can integrate these approaches into their practices.

    In this interview, we discuss:

    -Brain retraining vs. meditation/stress reduction

    -The concept of creating and rewiring neural pathways

    -Acute vs. chronic illness: transition due to overactive protective responses

    -The role of genetic predispositions (e.g., detox ability, immune differences)

    -The three "R"s of brain retraining: regulate, retrain, re-engage

    -Practical considerations for implementation, maintenance, and long-term success

    -Strategies for integrating these techniques/the Gupta program in clinical practice
