In this heart-centered conversation, Heather Gray sits down with Lori Clemmons, neural retraining coach and author of Rewire Your Wellness, to talk about how self-compassion and limbic system retraining can transform the healing journey for people living with chronic illness, mold illness, and nervous system dysregulation.
Lori shares her powerful story of going from thriving to bedbound for a year and a half, sleeping 20 hours a day, and collecting diagnoses like chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, celiac disease, chemical sensitivity, and mold-related illness. Despite “normal” labs and doctors telling her to “learn to live with it,” her symptoms persisted, and even followed her to a brand-new, mold-free home.
Everything shifted when Lori discovered neuroplasticity and limbic system (neural) retraining. By changing her self-talk, lowering her chronic stress response, and practicing compassionate awareness, she gradually calmed her overactive nervous system, and within about 10 months, she was able to walk a 5K for the first time in her life.
