In this episode, I sit down with Ashok Gupta to explore why so many people with chronic illness are told they're "fine" when they clearly aren't. We break down how the nervous system and immune system can get stuck in survival mode, driving symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and reactivity. We also talk about neuroplasticity and how retraining the brain may be the missing piece in healing.
