- In this episode, I speak to Luanne Hopkinson about her chronic health issues and how she overcame them.
Luanne suffered for decades from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn, eczema, anxiety, food intolerance and hormone issues, manifesting in chronic issues such as anxiety, heartburn, bloating, abdominal cramps, nausea, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and ME/CFS.
After years of suffering, and a crash when she hit her 40s, she began on a path of investigating how she could heal herself, and through meditation, brain retraining and other nervous system tools she was able to promote her own body's natural healing processes and restore her health. She now works as a nutritional medical practitioner, helping others improve their health in the same way, as well as supporting the use of diet and supplementation where necessary.

Great to here Luannes story , really happy for her , and what a infectious smile 😀👍
The human body seems to be by far the most complex physical object that we know of on this planet.
This was very inspiring to hear. I feel like I’ve seen Luanne on the Gupta Program forum before giving nice advice. You’re spot-on that it’s nice to hear from someone who needed time to heal with brain retraining. Thanks!
Thanks, I used to help out moderating the Gupta forum 🙂
Thank you very much for posting this. I've found Luanne's website and her story very inspiring.
Finished it. Wow. As somebody with Hyperacusis this hits home so so hard. Such a wonderful woman.
Thank you - yep brain retraining and nervous system work really help the sound sensitivity as can the safe and sound protocol 🙂
I went through hyperacusis! It grew from wanting to resist sounds that increase tinnitus - then a bad series of trauma that ramped up through prolonged stress. Got a bit better but still wore earplugs to mow the grass and vacuum. Get this though - there are these annoying grackle birds around here. To chase them away allspring I did this mega claps. Even though my ears didnt like the claps at all, I hate those birds more. So clap, clap, clap. A few months of this and I mow the yard accidentally with no plugs and realize the mower sound isnt bothering me and is actually a little lush and not voilently disruptive as it was. So, I have maintained this improvement! I think it's a brain attenuation issue around low volumes, with a stress ramp that triggers improperly. I accidenally brain retrained myself out of hyperacusis. When it was at it's worst, holy smokes, any metal clanging was an irritant.
I love how you ask all the questions that I would of asked . Very informative.
Woke up at 6am just to listen to this! My favourite pod 💗

Thanks for the great interview.
Can relate much to her struggles, thank you ✨️
