The Nervous System's Impact on the Healing Journey
The role of the nervous system in chronic illness is often overlooked, yet it may be the crucial missing piece in many healing journeys. When our body remains in a defensive state, it creates an environment that can resist even the most promising treatments. For many struggling with complex conditions, addressing nervous system dysregulation might be the key that unlocks their body's natural capacity to heal.
Alex Howard sits down with Dr. Eric Gordon to share his personal journey of recovering from ME/CFS, twenty years of clinical experience, and his framework for resetting the nervous system. As a patient and practitioner, Alex brings unique insights into how addressing the nervous system's dysregulation can unlock the body's innate healing abilities. His RESET approach offers a systematic pathway for recognizing patterns, examining triggers, stopping harmful habits, processing emotions, and transforming our relationship with ourselves—potentially making all other healing interventions more effective.
