In this conversation, Dr. Linda Bluestein interviews Ashok Gupta about his experience breaking the vicious cycle of chronic illness when he had ME-CSF. They discuss the impact of chronic conditions, the brain's priority of survival, and the vicious cycle of symptoms.

Takeaways

Chronic conditions often accompany joint hypermobility and can have a significant impact on individuals and the global economy.
Brain retraining involves making patients aware of subtle danger signals in the brain and retraining the brain's response.
The brain's priority is survival, which can lead to maladaptive responses and chronic illness.
An independent audit looked at 16 different conditions for three months. They found improvement of 84% with Long COVID, 116% with Lyme disease, 67% with mold illness, and 85% with chemical sensitivities.
Clinicians can recommend brain retraining by emphasizing that it is not in the mind but in the brain, and that the brain is triggering the immune and nervous systems.
Healing and recovery are possible, and the brain's neuroplasticity allows for rewiring and improvement in various chronic conditions.
The Gupta Program offers a free 28-day trial and a one-year money-back guarantee, making it accessible and low-risk for individuals seeking relief from chronic illnesses.

⭐⭐⭐ About Bendy Bodies Podcast ⭐⭐⭐

Are you affectionately known as 'Gumby' among your friends and family? Being 'double-jointed' isn't just a quirky trait—it can lead to a host of problems throughout the body, even if you were once 'bendy' but aren't anymore. Connective tissue disorders, like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), often go unrecognized by doctors, causing life-altering symptoms such as pain, frequent injuries, joints 'giving way,' fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, and insomnia.

Welcome to the Bendy Bodies podcast, hosted by EDS expert, Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD. Join us as we delve into topics relevant to anyone experiencing symptomatic joint hypermobility. From insightful discussions with specialists boasting diverse expertise to practical tips for optimizing your hypermobile health, we're here to empower you on your journey to wellness.
