Join my Summer 'Ask Me Anything' ADHD Group Coaching programme here This week's guest is Ashok Gupta, who has dedicated his life and career to supporting people through chronic illness and trauma and helping them achieve their potential. Ashok suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others and 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, and fibromyalgia, showing that the treatment is effective, and he is continually researching these conditions On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Ashok and Kate speak about: Ashok's Chronic Fatigue story and recovery Aspects of your surroundings that can affect chronic diseases The importance of calming the nervous system The body's fear response system How your early childhood experiences or trauma can impact your fear response Nature vs nurture on the brains development Neuroplasticity and retraining our brains to thrive How your fear and threat response could interplay with ADHD Ashok's program to work on your neuroplasticity I speak about my conversation with Dr Jessica Eccles on this episode; here is the link if you'd like to listen back.
