Are you tired of missing out on life because of your health issues? Are you sick of strict protocols and diets that leave you frustrated and hopeless? Do you wish someone could give you a clear, step-by-step guide to finally heal? Are you ready to finally have symptom free days again?
Welcome to Retrain Your Brain, where you will find a neuroscience-based approach to help you heal from chronic illness and complex trauma (without the expensive and restrictive protocols!). My mission is to teach you real, effective strategies like brain retraining, somatic exercises, and trauma healing tools to help you heal at the deepest level - no more surface-level temporary fixes!
If you’re ready to harness the power of neuroplasticity to rewire your brain and reclaim your health, you’re in the right place!
Hi, I’m Katie Nickerson, a trauma-informed brain retraining coach. For nearly a decade I was consumed by debilitating symptoms from ME/CFS, CIRS, chemical sensitivity, SIBO, food intolerances, MCAS, anxiety and more. Despite dedicating all my time and spending a fortune on every diet, supplement, and protocol imaginable, I saw almost no improvement—and even developed new symptoms. It felt like there was zero hope for recovery.
Everything changed though when I discovered the incredible power of neuroplasticity and learned how to retrain my brain for health! Within just six months I went from debilitated and homebound to traveling, returning to work, socializing, and eating freely! I share my story because I want everyone suffering from a chronic illness to know that healing is possible!
If you are ready to finally find an effective approach to healing your chronic symptoms with results that are tangible and sustainable - then this podcast is for you!
So step away from the supplements, light that non-toxic candle, and let’s start retraining your brain!

EP 18 // How I Turned a Flare Into My Biggest Brain Retraining Breakthrough
If you’ve ever celebrated a huge win in your healing… only to have a flare knock the wind right out of you right after, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Today I’m continuing the story from Episode 17 and sharing what happened when I left my breakthrough-filled Florida trip and flew straight into… a full-blown flare in my childhood home.
In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I navigated the fear, confusion, and “oh no, is this all falling apart?” spiral - and how that flare actually became the moment my brain completed the rewiring process. I’ll break down why it happened, how I stabilized my system, the incremental steps I took, and why this was the last time I ever experienced a mold reaction.
If you’ve taken “one step forward and two steps back” and are worried it means you’re failing… this episode will give you hope, clarity, and a roadmap to keep going.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Why returning symptoms don’t automatically mean danger
How I used safety, rest, and incremental exposure to retrain my brain
The difference between compassionate pacing vs. fear-based avoidance
Why meaning-making matters more than the symptoms themselves
Objective markers (VCS tests + labs) that confirmed my brain and body were truly healing
What I hope you take away if you’re in the messy middle right now
