**Get unstuck from chronic illness with an advanced method of brain retraining!** Are you grappling with persistent chronic symptoms, pain, fatigue, anxiety, or sensitivities that simply won't resolve? Have you tried countless diets, medications, therapies, or lifestyle changes, only to find yourself still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless? This podcast is for you if you're ready to move beyond endlessly searching for the next supplement or treatment modality, and address the emotional and mental root causes of your health issues. We will talk about the profound mind-body connection in chronic illness and how accumulated stress can impact our physical health. We explore how chronic conditions often stem from emotional and psychological factors, including repressed emotions, inner conflicts, unresolved trauma, and habitual responses to stress, rather than solely structural issues. Hi, I'm Madeleine Lowry, a neural retraining specialist for emotional, mental and physical health. I will introduce you to the advanced brain retraining approach that I use with my clients that works directly with the subconscious mind to unlock and transform the deeply embedded patterns keeping you stuck. Unlike basic brain retraining methods requiring hours of practice, repetition of scripts and affirmations, or self-directed emotional excavation, this advanced approach is efficient, gentle, and effortless with practitioner-led sessions over Zoom. The rewiring happens in the session - no practice needed! The goal is to change neural patterns and fundamentally rewire your response to stress, moving you out of the constant "fight, flight, and freeze" mode and into a "rest, digest, and heal" state for a calmer nervous system and improved immune function. In this podcast we will delve into the crucial role of trauma healing, particularly early life trauma, which shapes your nervous system's stress response for a lifetime unless effectively addressed. Further, we'll explore how common personality traits—such as being a perfectionist, people-pleaser, caretaker, or fixer—often lead to the suppression of our own emotions and needs, adding to accumulations of stress and setting the stage for chronic illness. For highly sensitive individuals, empaths, and intuitives, these emotional burdens and reactions can be even more pronounced, making this process invaluable. If you are experiencing chronic health issues, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or food or chemical sensitivities, and feel like you've tried everything, please give a listen. If you are looking to calm your nervous system, resolve stress at its roots, and achieve deeper, more comprehensive healing, this series offers a fresh perspective and a proven path forward.  Tune in to uncover how advanced neural retraining can lead to remarkable improvements, from reduced anxiety and quieted worry loops to better digestion, improved sleep, and significant decreases in symptom frequency and intensity. Discover how you can gain self-awareness, build self-acceptance, assert boundaries, and become more centered and grounded, making daily stresses feel more manageable.  Could an advanced method of neural retraining be your best next step to healing?

    Nervous System Dysfunction in Midlife: Why Pain, Fatigue, and Symptoms Increase

    In midlife, many women experience physical symptoms that feel confusing, persistent, and unexplained—pain, fatigue, digestive issues, neurological sensations, and more. Medical tests may come back “normal,” yet the body is clearly signaling distress. In this episode neural retraining specialist, Madeleine Lowry, explores why physical symptoms often intensify in midlife and how they are frequently driven by long-standing nervous system stress rather than structural damage or aging alone. You’ll learn how years of emotional load, responsibility, and suppressed stress can finally surface through the body when its ability to compensate diminishes. This conversation reframes symptoms as meaningful communications from the nervous system, not failures or flaws. Madeleine explains how subconscious stress patterns shape physiology, why midlife is a tipping point for many women, and how advanced neural retraining can help recalibrate the system so healing becomes possible. This episode is for women who feel unheard, dismissed, or frustrated by persistent symptoms—and who are ready for a more compassionate, empowering understanding of what their body is asking for.

    Midlife Symptoms: What Perimenopause Reveals About Your Nervous System

    Midlife often arrives with unexpected symptoms—heightened stress sensitivity, emotional volatility, sleep disruption, physical tension, or a sense that your body can no longer “hold it all together.” In this episode, Madeleine Lowry explores why midlife is such a turning point for women’s health, not simply because of hormonal changes, but because the nervous system has reached its limit after decades of cumulative stress, responsibility, and subconscious conditioning. You’ll learn why symptoms that emerge in midlife are often signals from a system that has been overcompensating for years—and how working directly with the subconscious mind through advanced neural retraining can help restore emotional regulation, resilience, and physical balance. This episode offers a new framework for understanding midlife symptoms—not as failures or degeneration, but as invitations to recalibrate how your mind and nervous system respond to stress.

    Why Anxiety, Brain Fog, and Fatigue Increase During Perimenopause and Menopause - and How Neural Retraining Helps

    Anxiety often shows up or intensifies during perimenopause and menopause—even for women who have never struggled with it before. In this episode neural retraining specialist, Madeleine Lowry, explores why midlife can be such a tipping point for anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm, and why these symptoms are not a personal failure or something to “just push through.” You’ll learn how long-term stress affects the adrenal glands and nervous system, why women are often the shock absorbers of stress in families and society, and how subconscious stress patterns formed earlier in life can become amplified during hormonal transitions. Madeleine explains how neural retraining can help reset your stress response even when changes in your responsibilities are not possible. This episode offers a compassionate, science-informed look at midlife anxiety and introduces neural retraining as a way to restore calm, emotional resilience, and physical balance by working directly with the subconscious mind.

    Neuropathies, the Nervous System, and Why Retraining the Brain Can Help

    Neuropathic symptoms—such as tingling, burning, itching, numbness, trembling, or unexplained weakness—can be just as distressing as chronic pain, yet they are often misunderstood or difficult to treat. In this episode neural retraining specialist, Madeleine Lowry, explains why these symptoms are closely related to pain patterns and how the nervous system plays a central role in generating and maintaining them—especially when medical tests don’t offer clear answers. You’ll learn how the brain interprets sensory input, why prolonged stress or trauma can keep the nervous system in a heightened state of vigilance, and how fear and hyper-focus can unintentionally reinforce symptoms. Madeleine also shares examples from her practice, including long-standing chronic itching and post-traumatic tingling that resolved through neural retraining. This episode offers an educational, compassionate framework for understanding neuropathic symptoms—without minimizing their reality—and explores how working with the subconscious mind can help restore balance when the nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

    Retrain the Brain for Chronic Pain: Why Pain Persists and How It Can Change

    Chronic pain is real—but it isn’t always caused by ongoing tissue damage. In this episode of Retrain Your Brain for Chronic Illness, Madeleine Lowry explores how the brain processes pain, why pain can persist long after the body has healed, and how subconscious stress patterns keep pain cycles active. Drawing on the foundational work of Dr. John Sarno and modern advances in neural retraining, Madeleine explains how emotional suppression, nervous system dysregulation, and subconscious conditioning can drive chronic pain conditions such as migraines, back or joint pain, fibromyalgia, nerve pain, and unexplained pain syndromes. You’ll learn why chronic pain is best understood as a learned neural pattern—and how working directly with the subconscious mind can help update those patterns so the body can return to balance and healing.

    Men and Chronic Pain: Retraining the Brain versus Talk Therapy

    In this episode of Retrain the Brain for Chronic Illness, Madeleine Lowry explores a topic that is rarely discussed: men and their pain. While chronic pain is often approached as a purely physical issue, this conversation looks at how emotional suppression, nervous system overload, and societal expectations uniquely impact men’s health. Madeleine discusses how men are often conditioned to bury emotions such as grief, fear, anger, and sadness, and how these unresolved emotional experiences can become stored in the body as chronic pain, tension, fatigue, or other physical symptoms. She unpacks the mixed messages men receive about emotions—needing to control anger while also being rewarded for aggression, needing emotional awareness while fearing vulnerability. You’ll learn how long-held roles and expectations—provider, protector, achiever—can keep the nervous system in a constant state of stress, and why pain may be the body’s signal that something deeper needs attention. Madeleine explains how subconscious neural retraining can safely release trapped emotional pain, helping the nervous system reset and allowing physical symptoms to shift. This episode is an invitation to rethink pain—not as a personal failure or weakness, but as a meaningful message from the body that healing is possible.

    Women, Stress and Chronic Pain: Understanding Nervous System Overload

    Why do so many women live with chronic pain—and why is it so often misunderstood or dismissed? In this episode, Madeleine Lowry explores the powerful connection between emotional and physical pain, and why women are particularly vulnerable to developing chronic pain patterns. Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system physiology, and her  experience as a neural retraining specialist, Madeleine explains how the same areas of the brain process emotional and physical pain—and how women’s larger limbic systems, combined with cultural expectations and caretaking roles, can place them at increased risk. You’ll learn why women are often the emotional “shock absorbers” in families and society, how modern life asks women to both care and perform, and why patterns like perfectionism, over-responsibility, people-pleasing, and self-denial can keep the nervous system in a chronic stress response. This episode offers a compassionate, validating perspective for women who have tried everything and are still in pain—and introduces how subconscious neural retraining can help update the patterns that keep the body stuck. This is not about blaming women for their pain, but about understanding the deeper patterns that shape it and opening the door to healing. Could neural retraining be right for you?

    Breaking the Pain Cycle: Neural Retraining for Chronic Pain Relief

    Essential listening for anyone living with chronic pain—migraines, back pain, fibromyalgia, abdominal pain, joint pain, neuralgia, or unexplained pain patterns—who is ready to explore a deeper, more empowering path to relief. Madeleine Lowry and fellow neural retraining specialist, Susan Isom, explore one of the most misunderstood topics in chronic illness: the true role of the mind and subconscious in chronic pain. While pain is absolutely real, the brain’s interpretation of pain—including when it turns pain on, amplifies it, or fails to turn it off—is deeply influenced by subconscious emotional patterns, unresolved stress, and old protective programs. Madeleine and Susan share powerful real-world examples from their clients, including cases of frozen shoulder, severe back pain, chronic foot pain, and trauma-linked tension patterns. Many of these symptoms improved dramatically—or even fully released—after addressing the subconscious stress associations beneath the pain. These stories illustrate what research is now confirming: pain is processed in the brain, and neural pathways can become stuck, causing pain to persist long after the body has healed. You’ll learn why chronic pain often doesn’t respond fully to medication, physical therapy, supplements, or structural treatments—and why adding subconscious neural retraining can be the missing piece. We discuss how emotional burdens, hypervigilance, perfectionism, responsibility patterns, and past trauma all influence the pain cycle, often without our awareness. Could neural retraining help you?
