IEP Radio #14: Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS) with Annie Hopper - Retraining the Brain

Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS)
Special Guest: Annie Hopper
https://retrainingthebrain.com/

On this episode we discuss:

-Annie Hopper's personal story
-What is neuroplasticity, and why is it important for our understanding of both the origin and treatment of chronic disease? -What is a "limbic system injury (LSI)" or "limbic system impairment" and what causes it?
-What characterizes a LSI? What conditions have you found to be typically associated with LSI?

-What are the critical steps (acronym: I.M.A.G.I.N.E.) to rewiring an LSI?
-What's missing from the conventional and even Functional approach to chronic illness (ex: MCS), and how does DNRS address that?
-How do other treatments/approaches fit or not fit with DNRS?
-A few of Annie's favorite recovery stories?
-How to learn more & get started with DNRS

About Annie Hopper: Annie knows what it’s like to suffer from a mysterious illness that the medical system cannot diagnose or effectively treat. In 2004, while working as a busy core belief counselor, newspaper columnist and talk show guest as an expert in Emotional Wellness, her health started to rapidly deteriorate. Mysterious symptoms like insomnia, headaches, body aches and pains, chronic exhaustion and an increasing list of sensitivities ensued. Toxic overload was the eventual diagnosis. But even after undergoing detoxification treatments and an extensive list of healing treatments from over thirty different practitioners, her symptoms continued to escalate.
This was the beginning of what can only be described as a type of science fiction nightmare. After almost 4 years of suffering that eventually led to homelessness, Hopper deduced that a toxic brain trauma was most likely at the root of her suffering. Hopper went on to creatively rewire the neural circuits in her brain that had been altered due to toxic trauma and the symptoms of illness eventually dissipated.

In 2008, Hopper founded The Dynamic Neural Retraining System, a drug free, neuroplasticity-based healing approach to rewire chronic illness disease patterns in the brain as seen in Chemical Sensitivities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses.
