250: Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill: Rewiring the Brain for Healing with Ashok Gupta

Dr. Jill Carnahan invites Ashok Gupta, an expert in neuroplasticity, to discuss how we can harness the power of the brain to heal from chronic illnesses. This conversation is crucial for anyone interested in understanding how our mental and physical health are interconnected. 

Throughout the episode, Ashok Gupta shares his groundbreaking insights on rewiring the brain, explaining how certain thought patterns can perpetuate inflammation and lead to an autonomic imbalance. Using his Gupta Program, Ashok discusses strategic approaches to break these cycles and promote healing and resilience.

Join us for this informative and inspiring discussion on Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan. Whether you're struggling with chronic conditions or simply looking to enhance your mental health, this episode with Ashok Gupta is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice.

Key Points:

① Neuroplasticity as a Healing Tool: Limbic retraining harnesses the brain's neuroplastic potential to interrupt maladaptive stress and threat responses originating from the amygdala, insula, and anterior cingulate cortex—pathways often implicated in chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, long COVID, mold toxicity, and chronic Lyme disease.

② Rewiring Dysregulated Threat Perception: The Gupta Program helps patients identify and disengage from unconscious fear-based patterns that perpetuate inflammation, autonomic imbalance, and HPA axis dysregulation—restoring homeostasis through self-directed neurocognitive techniques like visualization, mindfulness, and vagal tone activation.

③ Integration with Functional Medicine: Brain retraining serves as a critical adjunct to biochemical and physiological interventions by addressing the top-down influence of trauma, stress, and limbic system over activation, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of gut-healing, detoxification, and immune-modulating protocols.

Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.

Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others, and then published the well-known neuroplasticity recovery program known as the Gupta Program in 2007.

He has published several medical papers and is continually researching these chronic conditions. Recently, a randomized controlled trial was published showing the Gupta Program was highly effective compared to a control. More information at www.guptaprogram.com
