This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I am excited to be joined by Ashok Gupta who is the mind behind The Gupta Program and a leading expert in the field of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes (NICS). In this episode, Ashok tells us about how he became interested in brain retraining, what it is, and how he was able to heal himself using it. We also talk about the limbic system, neuroplasticity, how the brain reacts to trauma and stress, epigenetic effects and more! Ashok has several published medical papers that you can check out on his website under the research tab.

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE:

Over restriction is dead; if your practitioner is recommending this, they are stuck in 2010 and not evolving
Whole food is soul food and fed is best
Sustainable, synergistic nutrition (the opposite of whack-a-mole supplementation & supplement graveyards)
You don’t have to figure it out alone
Do your best and leave the rest
