Louis Cole's Story: Living with ME/CFS
When I got sick in 2024, I didn’t realize how quickly things could spiral. It started as exhaustion that felt like a bad flu, but it kept getting worse. My energy crashed, my brain stopped working, and I couldn’t think clearly or remember basic things.
I had insomnia, headaches, weak limbs, dizziness, and even vision problems.
The Science Behind ME/CFS Recovery
In ME/CFS, the nervous system gets stuck in a chronic stress response. Research suggests the issue may be functional rather than structural. Your nervous system may be stuck in protection mode, and even normal activities can feel overwhelming. This is what keeps symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and pain cycling.
Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to rewire itself, to help shift out of that stuck state. Instead of managing symptoms, it may address the underlying pattern. That's when real, lasting recovery starts.

What is nervous system retraining?
Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity principles to help your brain and nervous system shift out of a stuck stress response. In ME/CFS, the nervous system often gets locked in a protective mode after a viral trigger or prolonged stress. Retraining helps it recalibrate so your body can function normally again. It's coaching-based, not medication-based.
