Hey, I am Carolyn and welcome to my podcast
Warriors Unite podcast .Here I will give people with all types of Dysautonomia and disabilities, a safe place to discuss their conditions and symptoms, while also making awareness and educating others on what is known as Invisible and Chronic illnesses Weather they be physical or mental conditions. I myself was diagnosed with a chronic illness called POTS 17 yrs ago, so I know how important it is for us Warrior's to advocate and share awareness. I hope you will enjoy this series as we take you on this journey.Find us on Instagram@warriorsUnitePodcast
Myrto Raftopoulo, Neuroscientist (phD), double-certified coach (Health and Medical),Mental Health Counsellor and Chronic Illness Specialist.
I created the Neuroplastic Healing Method to help people living with chronic illnesses accelerate their journey towards health and wellbeing.
After having experienced my brothers and both my parents journeys with chronic illness, I made it my lifes mission to eliminate the term ''chronic illness''
by making chronic illnesses temporary. this is not a cure. but if you could imagine a life without flare ups, wouldn't that be close to one?
My proprietary process, developed after years of testing, is based on cutting-edge scientific research and my personal experience working one to one with clients.
I believe that illness is a manifestation of an imbalance between our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. My evidence based process based on our innate healing power and the concepts of neurogenesis ( the brains ability to regenerate)and neuroplasticity( the brains ability to form new neural connections), helps you restore balance to keep your illness in permanent remission.
