Can retraining the brain relieve chronic symptoms of COVID-19? A new clinical study says yes — and the results are hard to ignore.
Long COVID has baffled both patients and physicians. Weeks, months, or even years after infection, people are left dealing with extreme fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and disrupted sleep — often with no clear cause or solution.
But a new peer-reviewed study from the UK is offering hope in an unexpected place: your brain’s ability to rewire itself.
🧪 The Study
Conducted by researchers at the University of Bath and several NHS centers, the study involved 45 participants with Long COVID. Half received standard NHS care advice. The other half used a brain retraining method known as Amygdala and Insula Retraining (AIR) — taught through the Gupta Program.
After 12 weeks, the results were striking:
- Participants using the Gupta Program showed four times greater improvement in fatigue than the control group.
- They also reported meaningful gains in energy, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
- Anxiety and depression scores dropped significantly.
🔄 How It Works
Rather than chasing symptoms, the Gupta Program focuses on the root cause in the brain’s threat-response system. Using techniques based on neuroplasticity, it helps reset the feedback loop between the amygdala (emotion/fear center), insula (interoception), and the immune system.
In simple terms: it helps the brain understand that the danger has passed, so the body can stop overreacting.
🌿 What This Means for You
Long COVID isn’t “all in your head” — but healing might begin there.
If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, it’s not your fault. And it may not be forever.
This study gives new hope to thousands still searching for answers.
