Rewire Our Brains For Balance

Rewire Your Brain. Reclaim Your Health. Reconnect To Your Vital-Side™.

In Vital-Side, we believe in life optimization—not limitation. That means having the freedom to do the activities you love, eat the foods you enjoy, and choose who it is you want to be.

You may be feeling limited by chronic symptoms today, but we can work together to gradually shift your thoughts, emotions, and your physiology to bring greater possibilities into your present reality.

We are wired for protection by nature, but we can rewire our brains and bodies for balance. We can begin to find relief from chronic symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, pain, sensitivities, and stress, and ultimately come into greater harmony with ourselves and the world around us.

What is

Vital-Side?

Vital-Side's mission is to empower those suffering from chronic illness and chronic symptoms to find relief from their symptoms and gain freedom in their lives.

We do this through the application of a combination of mental exercises and body-based somatic techniques designed to take the brain from a state of survival to one of growth and repair.

These tools are non-invasive, empowering, and backed by the latest science. Our approach is simple: let's rewire the brain to optimize its functioning and allow the body do the rest.

Testimonials

A year ago I was housebound. I must admit, I was skeptical Vital-Side would work—I’d tried so many things before and nothing helped me much. But how glad I am that I took this course! My life has changed so much. I’ve traveled, and even climbed a mountain! I feel like a different person compared to who I was a year ago, and I’m looking forward to what is waiting for me in the future.

Vital-Side gives you the tools needed to get your life back, no matter where you are. The program takes practice, patience, commitment, and determination, but Lindsay provides continued support through Vital-Side Ed to help keep you on track.

Being able to do this from home via video was very personal. Lindsay is so positive, it's almost impossible not to feel uplifted. It's amazing how much lighter and more positive I feel after doing a few minutes of practice!
