“When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, even walking to the mailbox can feel impossible.” Today I sit down with Allie Chandler to talk about how she rebuilt her routine after years of neurological and fatigue symptoms—and why a simple, repeatable brain fitness practice became her turning point. Allie is a marketing strategist specializing in functional medicine practices. With over a decade of experience and a Master’s degree in Writing from California College of the Arts, she’s led marketing and branding initiatives for companies such as Microbe Formulas, CellCore Biosciences, and Microbiome Labs. After overcoming chronic Lyme disease and other health challenges, Allie founded Upsell Health, where she helps functional medicine practitioners grow their practices through authentic, strategy-driven marketing. In this episode, we discuss calming the nervous system, supporting theta brainwave states, and creating morning/evening rhythms that make high performance sustainable (not exhausting). What you’ll learn: -Why downshifting the fight-or-flight response is step one for clarity and focus -How light + sound brainwave sessions fit into a daily routine (morning & night) -The difference between “forcing” neurofeedback vs. gently guiding your brain state -Practical ways to protect your energy at work and wind down before bed Who this helps: high performers, caregivers, and anyone feeling wired-and-tired who wants practical steps to regain focus, emotional regulation, and productivity. If it resonates, share it with someone who needs a calmer start and a better night routine. What’s one small change you can make to your morning or evening routine this week?
