When you retrain your brain to respond differently to stimuli, you undo the basis of the problem. You take back the power to self-manage and self-heal.
Before we talk about how the science of neuroplasticity and chronic illness, here’s a glimpse of hope: we’ve seen dozens of people transform their chronic symptoms with our re-origin neuroplasticity program.
In the program, you work through 6 modules of virtual classes and practice 30 minutes per day of re-training exercises.You can join weekly group calls, group coaching, and virtual events to encourate you and keep you on track.
The course, coaching, and community support you to rewire your brain and feel like yourself again, all with scientifically-backed and proven methods that you can rely on to shift persistent symptoms.
You can change how your brain functions…
which may alleviate symptoms.
Simply put, neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change, both structurally and functionally, throughout a person’s lifetime. This ability to change helps promote:
Our brains discard unused neural pathways… and strengthen new ones based on our habits.
When we experience something new, our brain creates new connections between neurons so we can remember how to do a certain task. The repetition of every action, emotion, or thought reinforces a particular neural pathway in our brain.
The more the actions, emotions, and thoughts are repeated, the more deeply these neural pathways become ingrained in the circuitry of our brains. That’s why the more you practice something, be it playing the guitar or speaking Spanish, the better you get at it.
Neurons that are used frequently develop stronger connections, while those that are rarely or never used are eventually eliminated. This process is known as synaptic pruning.
By developing new connections and pruning away weak ones, the brain is able to continuously adapt to its changing environment.
This is really exciting information, as it means that we can actually train our brain to let go of unfavorable neural pathways, replacing them with beneficial neural pathways.

What happens when our brains learn a negative neural
pathway that hurts our health.
Neuroplasticity has both a positive and negative side. Limbic system impairments are an example of the negative side of neuroplasticity.
The limbic system is the part of the brain that drives your primal fight or flight response. Changes to this system can lead to a wide variety of negative symptoms and conditions, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, sensitivities, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue syndrome, just to name a few.
It’s important to understand, however, that if you’re suffering from a limbic system impairment, it’s not your fault. Limbic system impairments occur unconsciously as the result of trauma and chronic stress.
When we say trauma, we don’t mean physical trauma to the brain, but rather any experience that your brain deems life-threatening, such as a car accident, an intense emotional event, or contracting a serious virus.
In many cases, limbic system impairments arise when someone experiences a traumatic event while their chronic stress load is already high.
For instance, someone who gets in a car accident or contracts a virus while going through a divorce has a higher risk of developing a limbic system impairment.
The combination of stressors essentially overwhelms the brain, causing it to go into an extreme survival mode in which it’s hypersensitive and hyper-reactive.
When impaired in this way, the limbic system continuously sends out alarm signals that stimulate the nervous system and immune system as if a threat is present, even though there is no threat or it’s long gone.
These faulty neural pathways ultimately become conditioned, meaning they get stuck in an unconscious loop that perpetuates itself.
This continuous stimulation of the nervous system and the immune system keeps the brain and body locked in an unconscious defense cycle, opening the door to ongoing inflammation in the body and a number of different symptoms and sensitivities.
You can re-train your brain toward health with a few simple techniques.
Negative changes may have occurred in your brain, but remember, neuroplasticity goes two ways. This means that any changes your brain has learned can be undone, allowing you to reclaim your peace, happiness, and health.
Your brain is not stuck—it simply needs some retraining that threats are no longer present and it can calm down. That’s where re-origin comes in.
re-origin is a science-backed neuroplasticity-based treatment program that can teach you how to eliminate the dysfunctional neural pathways that are perpetuating your chronic health conditions.
As you’ll learn through our program, there are certain factors that can increase neuroplasticity, including repetition, strong emotions, language, imagery, and other specific neurocognitive exercises.

You can help your brain get out of fight-or-flight mode and return to homeostasis with neuroplasticity training.
While neuroplasticity is something that happens on a day-to-day basis beyond our conscious awareness, it is also something that we can actively influence and encourage.
Through re-origin, you’ll learn to apply an easy-to-follow, five-step neurocognitive technique to directly retrain the unconscio us nervous and immune system responses that are at the root of your symptoms. re-origin’s approach does not chase or mask symptoms, but rather works to rewire the part of the brain that’s causing the dysfunction (the limbic system), resulting in long-lasting recovery.
The program is easy to follow, self-directed, cost-effective, and takes just minutes a day to implement. Plus, re-origin offers access to a community and coaching specifically geared towards helping people retrain their own brains and return to feeling like themselves.
Our program is based on decades of research and development and aims to put an end to your suffering once and for all.
The five principles of neuroplasticity, which are factors identified as especially important in facilitating neuroplastic changes in the brain, include:
You can help your brain get out of fight-or-flight mode and return
to homeostasis with neuroplasticity training.
Believe it or not, you have these conditions and symptoms because your brain is trying to protect you. It’s triggering and re-triggering defense responses because it thinks that you’re constantly in danger.
You may be thinking, “How could my brain get so confused?” Limbic system impairments are largely disorders of modern living. Never before have humans been exposed to so many stressors. As such, our brains are much more vulnerable to becoming overwhelmed and, consequently, going a little haywire.
Thankfully, you can use the principles of neuroplasticity to interrupt the overactive threat detection and response mechanism that’s causing your suffering. With our proprietary neurocognitive exercises, you’ll essentially be communicating to your brain, “We’re safe. There’s no danger here. You can let go and relax now.”
With persistence, patience, dedication, and time, you can change your neural pathways and step into a life free from symptoms and full of happiness and well-being.
