Two words. Hopeless and joy. Turns out that's the whole reason this channel exists. 👇

I found this out the hard way, standing in the ocean two years into being sick.

💭 Fatigue, migraine, pelvic pain, vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis. 👇

When symptoms look so different, it can be hard to imagine they could be connected in any way.

In this clip, Dr. Anna Smith explains her alarm-system metaphor. The brain and nervous system can detect danger, then produce different “ringtones” as symptoms.

The symptoms are real. The alarm just may not sound the same for everyone.

And because the brain can learn a pattern, it may also be able to unlearn it.

Comment ANNA and I’ll share the full interview with you.

Comment FREE TOOL and I'll send you my free Symptom Investigator. 👇

I just sat down with Alan Gordon for my channel, and one number he shared stopped me. 💭

He estimates 90% of chronic symptoms are neuroplastic. Not damage. Not danger. A brain that learned to protect you when it didn't need to anymore.

Swipe through for the numbers, and why almost everyone assumes they're the exception.

💭 A race with a four-year-old after 13 years without exercise.👇

A 1,700-mile solo road trip.

An hour spent drawing. Reading again. Taking public transport. Setting boundaries at work. Mowing the lawn, even with anxiety along for the ride.

These moments may look different, but every one represents something meaningful: more freedom, more trust, and more life opening back up.

Celebrating this week’s wins inside Brain Retraining 101. 💚

💭 The first question Alan Gordon asked me about fatigue wasn’t, “How do you get rid of it?” 👇

It was, “Where do you feel it in your body?”

That simple question opened up a much bigger conversation about what happens when we instinctively try to escape a sensation, and what somatic tracking invites us to practice instead.

💭 Somatic tracking can sound abstract, so Alan Gordon walked me through it live. 👇

Notice the sensation. Breathe. Get curious. Ask, “What’s it gonna do next?”

The point isn’t to make the sensation disappear on command. It’s to practice meeting it with safety instead of immediately fighting or running from it.

Swipe through for the simple framework.

I’ve been waiting for this conversation for a very long time.

Alan Gordon is the author of 'The Way Out', the book I’ve quoted more than any other on this channel. And in this moment, he shares what he believes is one of the most effective ways to communicate safety to the brain.

Instead of fighting a sensation or desperately trying to change it, can you become curious about it?

What will it do next?

Alan invites us to breathe, sit back, and watch with a little more lightness. To let every sensation become another instrument in the orchestra, while the brain learns that it is safe.

Some of the biggest recovery wins can sound almost ordinary to everyone else.

Feeling the good kind of tired after a full day. Reading a manual and actually taking it in. Getting back on a bike. Saying yes to plans without that immediate wave of fear.

But when those parts of life have felt out of reach for a long time, they are anything but ordinary.

These are a few of the moments being celebrated inside Brain Retraining 101 lately, and I hope they remind you that progress can show up in so many different ways. 💜

Swipe through to celebrate with us.

If you’re looking for more structure and support in your recovery, Brain Retraining 101 breaks Long COVID and ME/CFS recovery into five clear phases, with short videos and weekly group support calls to help you put what you’re learning into practice.

My recent guest recovered from CFS and 50+ chronic symptoms without a coach or program.

Yes.

Melanie Murphy found her own way forward through free videos, books, and the recovery stories of people who had gone before her.

What she did with everything she learned was incredibly personal, creative, and unlike any recovery approach I’ve heard before.

Now she’s sharing the story she once needed to find.

💭 What if fatigue does not always mean your body is actually out of energy? 👇

This was one of the most interesting parts of my conversation with Mats Lekander, professor of psychoneuroimmunology at Stockholm University and of health psychology at Karolinska Institutet.

We tend to think of fatigue like an empty gas tank. If we feel exhausted, we assume there must be no energy left.

But Prof. Mats explains that the brain is doing something much more complicated. It is constantly estimating how much energy we have and how much we might need in the future.

And sometimes, that estimate can create very real fatigue, sleepiness, and the urge to stop moving or socializing, even when there is no actual deficit of energy.

That does not make the fatigue any less real.

It gives us a completely different way to understand where that feeling may be coming from.
