There is a growing awareness in Functional Medicine that true healing may require addressing not just the body but also the brain, especially in those with a history of chronic stress or trauma. The Gupta Program offers a structured, neuroplasticity-based method that may help recalibrate a brain stuck in a “fight, flight or freeze” state, which can affect immune, digestive, hormonal, and neurological functions.
Developed by Ashok Gupta, this program combines mindfulness, breathwork, and visualisation techniques to encourage a state of safety and calm within the nervous system. By addressing what is often referred to as limbic system impairment, the program supports the body’s own healing processes.
Program Features:
-
Science-informed approach to limbic system retraining, grounded in neuroplasticity
-
15 interactive video modules and 30+ guided audio exercises for progressive learning
-
Emphasis on meditative and calming practices, including guided meditations and breathing exercises
-
Includes a physical toolkit with printed materials and a visual floor guide to support daily practice
-
Offers a supportive community and access to trained coaches, helping users stay engaged
Who Might Benefit?
This program may resonate with individuals experiencing:
-
Ongoing fatigue, stress, or overwhelm
-
A sense of being stuck in cycles of ill health despite other treatments

Interest in exploring mind-body strategies to support physical health

This brain retraining approach complements nutrition and lifestyle interventions, making it a valuable part of a broader wellness strategy.
“Just as the brain remembers people, places, and smells—it also stores memory traces of the body’s past stress and infections.”
Many clients find that addressing these deep-seated patterns may be the missing piece in their recovery journey.
