Jennifer Mann's Journey: Healing Chronic Illness Through the Mind-Body Connection
Physiology responds to feeling and thought, which is, as you said, the mind-body connection, and we see the nervous system as the orchestra director and all the other systems as a vital and important part of the orchestra.
Imagine being told that your chronic pain and fatigue are your new normal. That was Jennifer Mann's reality until she decided to take control of her health. In this episode, Dr. Jude sits down with Jennifer, the co-founder of CFS School, to discuss her remarkable healing journey from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and how she's now helping others do the same.
Jennifer was on her way to becoming a physiotherapist when she found herself bedbound with a host of unexplained symptoms. Traditional medicine offered no solutions, so she embarked on her own path to recovery. She discovered that working with the nervous system was key to her healing, leading her to develop a 12-week program that has since helped countless people manage conditions like chronic pain, fatigue, long COVID, POTS, and fibromyalgia.
In this episode, Jennifer shares her personal battle with chronic illness and the insights she gained along the way. Dr. Jude and Jennifer delve into the mind-body connection, attachment theory, and the role of the ego in healing. They also discuss how creating a sense of safety in the body can lead to vibrant health and touch on the power of manifestation in achieving a full recovery.
Whether you're dealing with chronic illness yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable perspectives and practical advice on holistic healing.
