💭 This is one of those basics you’ll need to hear more than once. 👇

When symptoms shift or new ones appear, fear tends to take over.
But as coach Devon explains, this is a normal part of a brain stuck in protection mode.

The mistake is reacting to each symptom as a new problem.
The solution is remembering what’s actually happening — and responding with safety instead of fear.

The basics don’t change.
We just forget them when things feel scary.

I’m two years behind on DMs, and if I haven’t gotten back to you personally, I want to explain why.

If I tried to respond to everyone one-on-one, it would take an unfeasible amount of hours every single week.

In fact, for the first two to three years of doing this work, I did respond to everyone personally. It took hours every week, and I’m not even sure those replies were always the most helpful for the person on the other end.

Since then, things have grown, and now no matter how hard I tried, I simply wouldn’t be able to keep up.

What I’ve come to realize is that I can either focus on supporting many people through my YouTube channel, my recovery program (Brain Retraining 101), and other free resources, or spend nearly all of my time replying individually.

Many creators at this stage opt to hire individuals or teams to reply for them, and I honestly think that can be a smart and caring solution. Everyone gets a response and everyone feels seen.
I’m not saying my way is better. It’s simply the path I’ve chosen. I want anything that comes from this account to be written by me, and realistically, hiring someone to help with this isn’t an option for me right now.

I truly hope modern tools will eventually help me respond more personally in a way that’s sustainable. Until then, please know this:

If I haven’t replied, it’s not because I don’t care. I see you. I read many messages. I’m just one human.

If you’d like support, please check my bio for the ways I share recovery information and support:

- Weekly newsletter
- Brain Retraining 101 (online recovery program)
- YouTube channel with multiple new videos every week

Thank you for your understanding and for being here ❤️

👉 Dr. David Mickel is back, and as always, this conversation goes right to the heart of what so many of you are wrestling with.

He brings a perspective that cuts through a lot of noise especially around brain retraining. In this episode, we talk about why focusing on the brain as the solution can sometimes miss the deeper point, and how recovery often isn’t about fixing, forcing, or overriding the body.

What I appreciate most about these conversations with Dr. Mickel is the steadiness. There’s no urgency, no promises, no pressure to “do it right.” Just a clear, respectful look at why the body adapted the way it did — and why healing so often starts with listening rather than pushing.

If his work has resonated with you before, this one builds on that foundation in a really meaningful way.

It’s easy to think of symptoms as the enemy—but true healing often begins when we stop fighting and start understanding.

It’s about uncovering the unique ways our nervous system learned to stay on high alert, and gently teaching it a new way of being. And the great news? There are science-backed strategies to achieve this.

💭 You don’t heal by being strong all the time, brute-forcing recovery 👇

Karen described a moment many people never give themselves permission to have — letting emotions come up fully instead of pushing them down.

Fear. Grief. Anger.

Not analyzed. Not managed. Just felt.

And on the other side of that emotional release?
Her nervous system softened.
The constant stress melted away.
And her symptoms followed.

This is what healing can look like when the body no longer needs to protect.

💭 Why did doing more actually give me more energy? 👇

Coach Bjorn shared that when he stepped into a new role, he fully expected the extra workload to make him unwell again. At first, there was overwhelm, self-doubt, pressure, and fear of getting worse.

But as he began to enjoy the role and feel more confident, something unexpected happened: his energy increased, even though he was doing more.

The workload didn’t change. What changed was his relationship to it.

When fear softened and enjoyment came online, his nervous system stopped bracing and energy followed. This is a powerful reminder that it’s often not the activity itself that drains us, but the threat our nervous system associates with it.

Hey friends 💛

If you’ve ever been told your symptoms are permanent because of “mitochondrial dysfunction,” this conversation is one you’ll want to hear.

Dr. Cathleen King is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who works at the intersection of physiology and the nervous system, and she brings a really clarifying, science-based perspective to a term that gets thrown around a lot in ME/CFS and Long Covid spaces.

What makes this episode especially helpful is how clearly she explains that “mitochondrial dysfunction” doesn’t automatically mean something is broken or irreversible. We talk about the difference between rare genetic mitochondrial diseases versus mitochondria down-regulating in response to chronic threat, stress, or illness — and why that distinction matters so much for recovery.

We also dig into how mitochondria respond to signals of safety and danger, why the autonomic nervous system is the foundational signal they listen to, and how many people end up stuck chasing toxins, pathogens, or supplements without realizing what’s actually keeping the system in protection mode.

There’s a lot of clarity and hope in this one, especially if you’ve been wondering whether nervous system work can really help when you’ve been told it’s “mitochondrial.”

💭 “But what if my mitochondria are damaged?” 👇

This is one of the most common questions people with ME/CFS and Long Covid ask — and for good reason.
Dr. Cat King explains that in most cases, mitochondria aren’t broken — they’re adapting.
They shift into a protective mode when the body perceives danger, conserving energy instead of producing it for thriving.

That’s why nervous system work still matters.
The autonomic nervous system sends the foundational signal to the mitochondria: safe or unsafe.

If you change that signal, the mitochondrial function can change too.

👉 The people who get chronically ill are often the ones who never stopped trying.

They kept searching for answers.
Kept getting back up after crashes.
Kept believing recovery was possible even when hope was thin.

Coach Devon shares why Dr. David Clarke calls these people “superheroes” — not because they’re broken, but because of how much they’ve endured.

And that same strength?

It’s still there. It just needs a safer way to operate.

And you're one of them. A SUPERHERO.
