“Is It All In The Brain?!” Integrating Brain Retraining “Neuroplasticity” Approaches into Your Practice for Improved Patients Outcomes
Recently, brain retraining, neuroplasticity and so called “limbic retraining” has become a hot topic in medicine, with many health practitioners already incorporating these protocols for better outcomes.
Find out about these latest cutting-edge interventions from the pioneers in the field, and how it can be incorporated into your health practice, improving the lives of your patients.
Many chronic illnesses such as Long Covid, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Mold, Lyme, POTS, and more can be challenging to treat, with relapses common and long-term solutions sometimes being elusive. This opens up the search for more effective complementary treatments. Grounded in scientific evidence and recent RCTs, the Gupta Program has earned endorsements from a diverse range of health professionals, including functional and integrative doctors, naturopaths and nutritionists.
They have recently published a randomized controlled study showing their program is four times more effective at reducing fatigue in Long Covid than a standard wellness program (wellness program included diet, supplements, sleep advice and exercise).
