137: Your Healing & Brain Retraining Questions Answered with Brea Katrin
This episode is brought to you by CFS School, a nervous system healing program.
Learn more today or book your free discovery call by visiting their website. Sign ups for the next Live cohort now available!
You can also follow them on Instagram @CFSSchool
In today’s episode we get your questions answered by Brea Katrin, who is back on the podcast for round two.
You will learn:
Brea’s trick to never getting sick or “catching” colds
How to turn your visualizations into a magic recipe for healing
Faith based healing and how to recognize when God is sending you tools to help you heal
What might be happening if you are rewiring with no physical success
And so much more
After playing varsity soccer for Princeton, Brea's health seriously declined with insomnia,
exertion intolerance, autoimmunity and significant gut issues. Eventually, her health
devolved further into severe chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), mold illness (CIRS), mast
cell activation syndrome (MCAS), food sensitivities and multiple chemical sensitivities
(MCS). Despite trying every conventional, holistic and functional medicine treatment
available, nothing worked.
As Brea’s health got worse, she became mostly bed bound and could no longer take care of
her children. By 2018, she was living outside in the desert- the only place with *clean"
air free of environmental toxins and mold scores. She was isolated. hopeless and suicidal.
But then Brea's story took an unexpected turn. She learned her symptoms were not caused
by the environment but by her brain overreacting to everyday stimuli, called Limbic System
Impairment. Following the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNS) program, she
successfully used the science of neuroplasticity coupled with her new faith in God to rewire
her brain and body to health. Today she is free from over 80 symptoms and lives a full
healthy life.
Now, Brea coaches others who are using neuroplastic techniques to overcome chronic
illness. When she's not coaching, Brea enjoys running, coaching and playing soccer,
studying the bible and being a mom lo her three kids
Time Stamps:
3: 45 - Q1: In one of your interviews you said you never get sick … is this still the case and how are you able to avoid it?
2:48 - Q2: Do visualizations alone heal you from me/CFS?
20:16 - Q3: How do you balance your practice (what’s in your control verse trusting God to heal)?
29:25 - Q4: Could you address faith in healing?
36:00 - Q5: What were your days like while retraining?

Customer Reviews
Fav Episode
Just want to say thank you for having Connie on! She was a huge part of my recovery after long covid seriously affected me. I can’t thank her enough for the stable, safe and constant environment she provided through groups. She was a safe container for the chaos that was gong on in my mind and body and my recovery really took a dramatic leap forward when I joined her groups. When she admitted to lying to her Dr.’s about MCAS I felt that so strong bc I did the same thing. So precious to hear that and have that normalized. Great interview Chaz! I am always impressed by your ability to ask questions that we all are thinking.
My favorite podcast right now!
I am learning so much from this podcast! I am a brain retrainer who’s trying to get back into training again and these episodes have been so helpful. I’ve added almost every single person interviewed to my Instagram page. Thank you for this!! Update: I am now doing Sara Jackson’s somatic practices daily and dives right In because of this podcast and I’m loving it!
I had to come back and add on to above . Listening to the newest podcast with Connie made me sob the entire time in a good way! Connie was my live dnrs group coach about two years ago and she is just such an inspiration to me. This was such a great episode I’m so eager to get back into dnrs and healing after having Covid in December and dealing with heightened symptoms.
Such an inspiring podcast
This podcast is such an inspiration! I’m still new in the chronic illness community and it makes me feel so less alone. I love the positivity message this podcast aims for. Highly recommend ✨
