How can re-origin help you heal through neuroplasticity training?
We’ve seen dozens of people transform their chronic symptoms
Before we talk about how the science of neuroplasticity and chronic illness, here’s a glimpse of hope: we’ve seen dozens of people transform their chronic symptoms with our re-origin neuroplasticity program.
In the program, you work through 6 modules of virtual classes and practice 30 minutes per day of re-training exercises.You can join weekly group calls, group coaching, and virtual events to encourage you and keep you on track.
The course, coaching, and community support you to rewire your brain and feel like yourself again, all with scientifically-backed and proven methods that you can rely on to shift persistent symptoms.
Why is neuroplasticity important?
You can change how your brain functions… which may alleviate symptoms.
Simply put, neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change, both structurally and functionally, throughout a person’s lifetime. This ability to change helps promote:
- The ability to learn new things
- The ability to enhance existing cognitive capabilities
- Recovery from strokes and traumatic brain injuries
- Strengthening certain areas of the brain that have lost function
- Recovery from limbic system impairments, commonly resulting in fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, and depression.
How does neuroplasticity work?
Our brains discard unused neural pathways… and strengthen new ones based on our habits.
When we experience something new, our brain creates new connections between neurons so we can remember how to do a certain task. The repetition of every action, emotion, or thought reinforces a particular neural pathway in our brain.
The more the actions, emotions, and thoughts are repeated, the more deeply these neural pathways become ingrained in the circuitry of our brains. That’s why the more you practice something, be it playing the guitar or speaking Spanish, the better you get at it.
Neurons that are used frequently develop stronger connections, while those that are rarely or never used are eventually eliminated. This process is known as synaptic pruning.
By developing new connections and pruning away weak ones, the brain is able to continuously adapt to its changing environment.
This is really exciting information, as it means that we can actually train our brain to let go of unfavorable neural pathways, replacing them with beneficial neural pathways.
The science behind neuroplasticity and chronic illness
How can you increase neuroplasticity?
You can re-train your brain toward health with a few simple techniques.
Negative changes may have occurred in your brain, but remember, neuroplasticity goes two ways. This means that any changes your brain has learned can be undone, allowing you to reclaim your peace, happiness, and health.
Your brain is not stuck—it simply needs some retraining that threats are no longer present and it can calm down. That’s where re-origin comes in.
re-origin is a science-backed neuroplasticity-based treatment program that can teach you how to eliminate the dysfunctional neural pathways that are perpetuating your chronic health conditions.
As you’ll learn through our program, there are certain factors that can increase neuroplasticity, including repetition, strong emotions, language, imagery, and other specific neurocognitive exercises.
How to use Neuroplasticity to improve your health
You can help your brain get out of fight-or-flight mode and return to homeostasis with neuroplasticity training.
While neuroplasticity is something that happens on a day-to-day basis beyond our conscious awareness, it is also something that we can actively influence and encourage.
Through re-origin, you’ll learn to apply an easy-to-follow, five-step neurocognitive technique to directly retrain the unconscio us nervous and immune system responses that are at the root of your symptoms. re-origin’s approach does not chase or mask symptoms, but rather works to rewire the part of the brain that’s causing the dysfunction (the limbic system), resulting in long-lasting recovery.
The program is easy to follow, self-directed, cost-effective, and takes just minutes a day to implement. Plus, re-origin offers access to a community and coaching specifically geared towards helping people retrain their own brains and return to feeling like themselves.
Our program is based on decades of research and development and aims to put an end to your suffering once and for all.
The re-origin program is winning scientific recognition and has been featured in:
FAQs
Neuroplasticity is a real, scientific term that refers to the brain’s ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. It’s not conjecture—it’s fact!
The five principles of neuroplasticity, which are factors identified as especially important in facilitating neuroplastic changes in the brain, include:
- Use it or lose it. Failure to use specific neural pathways can lead to a loss of abilities. Conversely, training that consistently stimulates specific neural pathways can lead to improved abilities. That’s why it’s important to stay consistent and persistent in your brain retraining efforts.
- Specificity. The nature of the training experience dictates the nature of the changes in the brain. That’s why re-origin has created a simple five-step neurocognitive technique that is easy to learn and apply.
- Repetition matters. Changes in the brain require sufficient repetition. You’ll quickly learn that through re-origin!
- Time matters. Changes don’t occur overnight. Sufficient time must be allowed for changes to occur. In the re-origin program, we encourage you to give it at least six months.
- Salience matters. The training experience must be meaningful to the person in order to cause change. In other words, it’s important to really understand and feel what you’re saying and doing, rather than just going through the motions.
The short answer is, yes! Neurologically speaking, depression is the result of neuroplastic changes in the limbic system and structures related to the limbic system. These changes can occur when someone experiences chronic mental and/or physical stress over the course of weeks, months, or years. The constant stream of stress, worry, fear, and despair essentially overwhelms the brain, changing its circuitry and depleting levels of feel-good neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine.
By consistently applying the neuroplasticity-based exercises taught in re-origin, you’ll be correcting the dysfunctional part of the brain, thereby restoring normal limbic system function. While it may not seem like anything is happening at first, changes are occurring on a neurological level outside of your awareness. Over time, these changes will start to reflect outwardly in a reduction of your symptoms. They’ll keep lessening and lessening until one day you’ll realize you’re free from the conditions that have debilitated you for so long.
Imagine a car driving over a field. It drives the same way every day. As such, deep tire grooves appear in the grass and dirt that the car drives over each day. With neuroplasticity training, you choose to start driving down a new path, instead of the well-worn path you were driving on before. It may take some effort initially to carve out a new road in the field, but as you continue driving the same new path each day, the grooves will become deeper and deeper, allowing for an effortless ride. The same thing happens when it comes to rewiring your brain using neuroplasticity. The original path the car took represents your current neural pathways that are creating your negative symptoms. To rid yourself of these symptoms, you need to start driving down a new path. With practice and repetition, your brain will naturally start driving down the new road. Soon enough, the old road will become overgrown and fade away into nothing, just like your faulty neural pathways.
