Why Worry Keeps You Sick: Breaking the Cycle of Stress and Chronic Illness

Retrain the Brain for Chronic Illness | Anxiety and Stress Relief, Immune Dysregulation, Nervous System Regulation, Food and Chemical Sensitivities, Mindbody Healing

In this episode of Retrain the Brain for Chronic Illness, neural retraining specialist Madeleine Lowry dives deep into how worry and chronic stress perpetuate illness and block recovery.

Drawing on research from Dr. Lissa Rankin, Dr. Candace Pert, and Dr. Robert Naviaux, she explains how persistent worry and fear can activate the cell danger response (CDR) — a protective state that shuts down energy production and healing at the cellular level.

Madeleine unpacks why so many people with chronic fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, and autoimmune conditions get trapped in subconscious worry loops, and how these patterns often stem from trauma, fear, or a need for control.

She shares how advanced neural retraining can help calm the nervous system, reduce the stress response, and reprogram the brain to support rest, repair, and recovery.

If you’re tired of living in survival mode and ready to understand the hidden link between thought patterns, emotional stress, and physical symptoms, this episode will help you see a new path forward.
