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

The Clinician's Corner

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 The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/   Connect with Dr. Ashok Gupta: Website: http://www.guptaprogram.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guptaprogram/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guptaprogram/   Special Offer to RWS Listeners:  We offer all practicing clinicians free access to our brain retraining program for one year -  worth $499 - they can sign up/apply at: https://guptaprogram.com/health-professionals/ Timestamps:    00:00 Mind-Body Healing Hypothesis 09:27 "Integrating Brain-Gut Axis Approaches" 12:59 "Brain Retraining for Chronic Issues" 18:18 Chronic Illness: Break the Vicious Cycle 26:26 Reengage with Joy Program 32:23 "Commit to a Healing Journey" 36:17 Acute vs. Chronic Treatment Approaches 43:50 "Brain Retraining Effectiveness Factors" 49:53 Brain Retraining for Clinicians 52:55 Clinician Co-Branding Service Launch 56:10 Incorporating Nervous System in Health 01:06:22 "Neuroplasticity Healing Success Stories" 01:10:42 Clinician's Corner: Episode Recap Speaker bio: 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 “limbic retraining” recovery program and app known as the Gupta Program in 2007.    He has published several medical papers including randomized controlled trials on Long Covid, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia, showing that the treatment is effective, and he is continually researching these conditions.   Keywords:  brain retraining, limbic retraining, neuroplasticity, chronic illness, chronic fatigue syndrome, ME/CFS, long Covid, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, autoimmunity, gut health, nervous system regulation, functional medicine, integrative health, immune system, inflammation, trauma healing, stress reduction, somatic techniques, meditation, breath work, Gupta Program, functional health practitioners, clinical studies, pain management, anxiety, depression, food sensitivities, neuroscience, recovery   Disclaimer: The views expressed in the RWS Clinician's Corner series are those of the individual speakers and interviewees, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Restorative Wellness Solutions, LLC.

Sue from South Africa shared her experience with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and multiple health challenges. Although she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome only six years ago, she described being a fragile child with several physical abnormalities that went unnoticed by doctors. These included an indented sternum and a skin issue at the base of her spine. Growing up, she struggled with physical activities and faced bullying due to her abilities, which contributed to her emotional distress.Her health challenges continued into adolescence, exacerbated by a severe dog bite that led to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which was not recognized at the time. During her teenage years, she also battled insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Sue developed Lyme disease after a hiking trip, which led to chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and other health issues linked to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.Despite her struggles, Sue pursued education, ultimately earning degrees in psychology. Throughout her journey, she has become more aware of her physical and psychological challenges, working to advocate for herself and understand her conditions better.

ME/CFS (Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis / Chronisches Fatigue Syndrom) ist eine schwere körperliche Multisystemerkrankung. Ihr Auslöser sind nicht nur, aber vor allem bakterielle oder virale Infekte, wie etwa Covid-19 oder eine Influenza. Das Hauptsymptom, mit dem sich ME/CFS sich von anderen Krankheiten mit Fatigue abgrenzt, ist die „Post Excertional Malaise“, kurz PEM. PEM ist eine Belastungsintoleranz, die eine Zustandsverschlechterung von vielen Symptomen gleichzeitig bereits nach geringer körperlicher oder kognitiver Belastung verursacht. Diese Verschlechterung tritt meist etwas zeitverzögert auf und kann beliebig lang anhalten, auch eine permanente Verschlechterung ist möglich. Die Liste der weiteren Symptome ist lang und enthält unter anderem Schlafstörungen, Kreislaufregulationsstörungen, dauerhaft grippeähnliche Symptome oder Gelenkschmerzen. Die Symptome variieren von Patient*in und Patient*in, gemein haben sie eine hohe Krankheitslast: 60 Prozent der Personen mit ME/CFS sind nicht arbeitsfähig, 25 Prozent sind ans Haus oder Bett gebunden, viele davon pflegebedürftig.  mosaik hat sich mit Sandra und Dini getroffen, die beide nach einer Corona-Erkrankung an ME/CFS erkrankt sind, woraufhin sich ihr Leben schlagartig änderte. Im Gespräch, das wir aufgrund der damit verbundenen Anstrengung in mehrere Etappen aufgeteilt haben, berichten sie davon, wie das neoliberale Gesundheits- und Sozialsystem Österreichs sie in den letzten Jahren nicht nur ignoriert, sondern aktiv abweist, aber auch davon, wie Betroffene sich solidarisch zusammenschließen.  Ein Nachtrag: Kurze Zeit nach unserer Aufnahme hat das Nationale Referenzzentrum für postvirale Syndrome neue Schätzungen für Betroffenenzahlen in Österreich herausgegeben. Stand jetzt geht man von einer Gesamtzahl von 73.586  ME/CFS-Erkrankten hierzulande aus, was 0,8 Prozent der Bevölkerung entspricht.  - - Foto: Lea Aring / Deutsche Gesellschaft für ME/CFS

Can Ginkgo Biloba Help Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

If you're struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or debilitating tiredness that just won't go away, you're not alone—and you're not imagining things. Millions of people suffer from persistent fatigue that conventional medicine often fails to resolve. Fatigue and stress can make everyday tasks like working at a computer feel overwhelming, as seen in this image, which represents the experience of many with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) At the Hedberg Institute, I'm always researching botanical compounds that support microcirculation, mitochondrial health, and immune regulation—all vital in restoring energy. That's why I formulated VascuSelect, a synergistic supplement that contains three powerful plant extracts: Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, and mango whole fruit powder. Let's dive into why Ginkgo biloba, in particular, stands out for those dealing with ME/CFS and how it works alongside other ingredients in VascuSelect to support your energy and vitality. An Important Study: Ginkgo Biloba for ME/CFS A recent paper published in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) titled “A Botanical Product Containing Cistanche and Ginkgo Extracts Potentially Improves Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Study” sheds important light on Ginkgo's role in combating chronic fatigue. In this gold-standard clinical trial, 101 adults with ME/CFS received a botanical supplement combining Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg/day) and Cistanche tubulosa extract (300 mg/day) or a placebo for 60 days. The results were impressive: Significant reductions in fatigue severity Improved physical performance and VO₂ max Enhanced antioxidant status and reduced oxidative stress markers Improved sleep quality and concentration Enhanced quality of life (QOL) and sexual life (SLQ) scores Decreased blood levels of lactic acid and ammonia (both fatigue biomarkers) What's particularly exciting is that Ginkgo biloba played a central role in this formulation. The authors noted that Ginkgo's flavonoids and terpenoids contribute to neuroprotection, vasodilation, and mitochondrial support, all of which are key areas of dysfunction in ME/CFS patients. This study confirms that Ginkgo biloba, known for enhancing blood flow and antioxidant activity, can play a central role in reducing the burdens of ME/CFS. How Ginkgo Biloba Helps Fight Fatigue Ginkgo biloba (standardized to 24% flavonol glycosides and 6% terpenes) is one of the most studied botanical extracts for circulatory and cognitive health. But its applications go far beyond brain support—especially for those with energy-depleting illnesses like ME/CFS. Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest and most studied medicinal plants. It's been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but modern science is now validating its applications for conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Long COVID. 1. Improves Microcirculation Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow, especially in the small vessels of the brain and extremities. This is critical in ME/CFS, where impaired oxygen delivery to tissues can worsen fatigue. 2. Supports Mitochondrial Function Many people with ME/CFS experience dysfunctional mitochondria—the energy-producing engines of cells. Ginkgo has been shown to protect mitochondrial membranes and improve ATP production, helping the body generate more usable energy. 3. Reduces Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is a hallmark of ME/CFS and contributes to inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue. Ginkgo's rich flavonoid profile helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. In the study mentioned above, participants taking Ginkgo and Cistanche showed significant increases in antioxidant enzymes like SOD and CAT. 4. Enhances Neurotransmitter Function Ginkgo biloba modulates neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—chemicals that regulate mood,

What if the fatigue you feel isn't just “tiredness”—but the result of an entirely different physiological state? In this riveting episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with Dr. Brayden P. Yellman of the Bateman Horne Center to explore ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome)—a misunderstood condition that masquerades as general exhaustion but goes much deeper. Together, they unravel the hidden markers of post-exertional malaise, explain how upright posture can quietly sabotage your day, and discuss the mysterious collapse of energy systems that no blood test can catch. With no known biomarker, diagnosis is a clinical puzzle—and one too often dismissed. Dr. Yellman also explores emerging theories around brainstem tension, tethered cord syndrome, mast cell activation, and how some surgeries may reset the body in unexpected ways. If you've been chasing answers for fatigue, brain fog, or unexplained crashes, this episode may finally connect the dots you didn't know existed. Note: You may notice a few choppy moments in this video due to our guest's frame rate, but the conversation is so valuable, we knew we had to share it with you. Thanks for your understanding! Takeaways: Fatigue might not be what you think—and your body may be operating in a totally different mode. Your upright posture could be silently draining your energy every hour of the day. A “normal” MRI doesn't mean your nervous system is functioning normally. Could your symptoms be the result of your brainstem being pulled—literally? The most revealing test?

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.

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with Dr. David Kaufman, a specialist in complex illnesses, to discuss how infections, immune dysfunction, and connective tissue disorders intersect. They explore why many chronic illnesses are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. This includes conditions like ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyeltiis/chronic fatigue syndrome), Long COVID, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and dysautonomia, Dr. Kaufman shares insights on the role of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Lyme Disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and other infections in triggering chronic conditions. They also dive into peptides, plasmapheresis, exosomes, and mitochondrial health as potential treatment avenues. If you've struggled to get answers about complex illness, this episode is packed with groundbreaking insights and expert advice. Takeaways: Complex Illness Requires a Multi-System Approach – Chronic conditions like ME/CFS, EDS, MCAS, and dysautonomia are interconnected, requiring a holistic approach rather than isolated treatments. Infections Can Trigger or Worsen Chronic Illness – Epstein-Barr virus, Lyme disease, and other chronic infections often reactivate in immune-compromised individuals, leading to long-term symptoms. Peptides and Exosomes Show Promise – Treatments like thymosin alpha-1, BPC-157, and exosomes may help modulate immune function and promote healing. Pelvic Congestion & Blood Flow Issues Matter – Unrecognized vascular issues, like May-Thurner syndrome and pelvic congestion syndrome, can contribute to POTS and hemodynamic instability. Mitochondrial Health is Key to Recovery – Addressing mitochondrial dysfunction through targeted therapies can help reduce fatigue and improve overall health in complex illness patients.

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with Dr. David Kaufman, a specialist in complex illnesses, to discuss how infections, immune dysfunction, and connective tissue disorders intersect. They explore why many chronic illnesses are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. This includes conditions like ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyeltiis/chronic fatigue syndrome), Long COVID, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and dysautonomia, Dr. Kaufman shares insights on the role of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Lyme Disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and other infections in triggering chronic conditions. They also dive into peptides, plasmapheresis, exosomes, and mitochondrial health as potential treatment avenues. If you've struggled to get answers about complex illness, this episode is packed with groundbreaking insights and expert advice. Takeaways: Complex Illness Requires a Multi-System Approach – Chronic conditions like ME/CFS, EDS, MCAS, and dysautonomia are interconnected, requiring a holistic approach rather than isolated treatments. Infections Can Trigger or Worsen Chronic Illness – Epstein-Barr virus, Lyme disease, and other chronic infections often reactivate in immune-compromised individuals, leading to long-term symptoms. Peptides and Exosomes Show Promise – Treatments like thymosin alpha-1, BPC-157, and exosomes may help modulate immune function and promote healing. Pelvic Congestion & Blood Flow Issues Matter – Unrecognized vascular issues, like May-Thurner syndrome and pelvic congestion syndrome, can contribute to POTS and hemodynamic instability. Mitochondrial Health is Key to Recovery – Addressing mitochondrial dysfunction through targeted therapies can help reduce fatigue and improve overall health in complex illness patients.
