Retrain your brain out of the chronic stress response to radically transform your health
When you've been battling chronic symptoms for months or years, you feel like you've tried everything under the sun to heal. So it can feel scary to try yet another program or protocol.
Unfortunately, that's usually when people find brain retraining—when they've already tried everything else. Fortunately, it often ends up being the missing piece in their healing puzzle.
Retraining your brain to regulate your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the foundation. This process allows you to determine which symptoms are a result of limbic system impairment (LSI) and which need to be addressed through other modalities.
Without nervous system regulation, other treatments may not work. With it, other treatments may become unnecessary... OR they may become 10 times more effective.

You should retrain your brain if you...
- suffer from constant fatigue that makes it impossible for you to live a full life
- know something is off, even though your doctors say your labs are all “normal”
- can only eat a handful of foods because of all your sensitivities & intolerances
- react with hypersensitivity to environmental stimuli - lights, sounds, smells, EMFs, etc.
- feel like detoxing has become a way of life and you fear the presence of mold, bacteria, and potential toxins
- have dizziness, brain fog, or aches & pains that come and go and have no apparent cause
-
find it difficult to focus during the day or get a good night’s sleep due to feeling “tired & wired”
- experience hormonal imbalances or gut issues that aren’t improving with food protocols & supplements
- fail to see much progress in your condition, even after dozens of treatments
- desire to develop greater emotional regulation & resilience to stress without having to dive right into trauma processing

A modern + flexible approach to
Healing Using Nervous System Regulation
→Using applied positive psychology, we'll focus on character strengths & behaviors that allow us to build a life of meaning & purpose and go from surviving to thriving.
→With top-down regulation, we'll reframe our illness/symptoms and use conscious awareness to shift old belief systems and our physiological response to the world around us. Here we apply NLP tools, conceptual neuroscience, and create new emotional experiences to goals you deeply desire.
→With bottom-up regulation, we'll use physical sensations to create a sense of safety through movement, breathing, EFT (tapping), and sensory experiences.
<<< All combined into a daily 20-minute practice >>>
The Structure
The Vital-Side process is structured, not rigid.
In Vital-Side, we encourage you to start where you are. You're encouraged to take this course at your own pace, on your own time.
A unique component of Vital-Side is our quick techniques or "state changers" that can be used the moment you experience a symptom, to shift your brain's negative association to it.
You'll leave this course with a grab-bag of tools to use throughout the day, known as incidental training, and a longer technique that takes about 20 minutes to run through on your own in the process of incremental progress.
What's Included in the Program
- A fully comprehensive 6-month commitment to break your conditioned stress response and help you reconnect with joy, peace, and ease in your daily life.
- 10+ hours of video content + bonus audios + instructional videos.
- Take the course in 10 days – 2 weeks; leave with a practice you’ll be repeating for a minimum of 20 minutes to a maximum of 1 hour per day for the next 6 months. The goal is to make brain retraining part of your daily routine.
...of your physiological stress responses.
Learn the science behind how the brain changes and how you respond to anything that happens in your life. Here, you'll start reframing your chronic illness & symptoms and start retraining your brain with simple daily exercises to create a new environment for a new reality. The FAQ section can help guide you as you get started.
...of where you are and an understanding of where you've been.
- In Module 2, you'll start learning ways to break your stress response through quick, daily state changers. You'll become aware of old beliefs that keep you held back and how they show up in your life. You'll learn how to increase dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins to get your "daily dose". You’ll also leave with tangible tools you can use the moment you experience a symptom.

In Module 3, you'll learn how new sensory experiences can create a new reality. You'll start to identify goals you have for yourself as you begin to understand the possibilities available to you today.

(PLUS learn bonus state changers like laughter yoga, the Emotional Freedom Technique, and more).
- In Module 5, learn ways to shift limiting beliefs and create new belief systems in a structured way. We review how we are changing the brain through epigenetics and brain waves, and go through the most important part of brain retraining – Incremental Progress. We’ll also talk about what the next 6+ months will look like and how to set yourself up for success, which includes communication with friends and family, access to group sessions in Deep Dives, and options for private sessions.

Throughout the video course, you’ll be using your guidebook to follow along with course material and apply it to your unique healing journey. This 64-page guide helps you to personalize your practice and focus on all areas that you’ll want to spend the most time in. This is your go to resource for all assignments.
This private container allows you to step away from social media throughout the brain retraining process while still being able to connect with other brain retrainers on similar paths. Lindsay often conducts live videos and the Vital-Side team regularly provides prompts, posts, and relevant content to refer back to throughout your Vital-Side journey. This is also where you can direct message Lindsay with your questions.
You can directly message the Vital-Side team 24/7 with questions about your practice in the Vital-Side Members private cohort. We are here as cheerleaders, facilitators, and supporters for you as you rewire your brain and navigate your healing journey.
We offer 2 types of group sessions: Fireside Connect Calls and Deep Dives. Fireside Connect Calls are included in your membership; it's a group that meets almost every month, where you'll connect with brain retrainers (and one of your coaches) from all over the world. Deep Dive sessions are available for an additional price, where we join together in a small group setting for 90-minutes to dive deeper into specific topics like "Improving Visualization Skills," "Incremental Progress Practice," and "Motivating Yourself To Get Started." We also offer check-ins and Q&As as part of these calls. Both group sessions are scheduled in advance, and you'll get access to the topics when you join. These are incredible sessions to get to know other brain retrainers, ask the Vital-Side team questions, and stay consistent & accountable in your practice.
These are meditations designed to be adjuncts to your retraining practice. Both the morning and nighhttime meditation are approximately 34-minutes long. The morning meditation will help you gain motivation and clarity first thing in the morning, and the nighttime meditation will help to calm your nervous system before bed by connecting with positive imagery. There is also a 6-minute reminder meditation to help you reconnect with your healing journey throughout the day.
Lindsay is always updating the tools and content to keep you up-to-date with the most current information in the neuroplasticity field. In addition to the course content, you'll receive LIVE videdo calls from Lindsay describing certain techniques, expanding on different subjects, and adding value to your course content to make sure the techniques & tools are working for you.
In private sessions, you'll meet one-on-one with a Vital-Side coach to personalize your brain retraining practice to meet your specific needs. You can do this in a single, 75-minute Mastermind Session, then later complete one-off hourly sessions or a package of 3 sessions. These can be scheduled at your discretion throughout your brain retraining process for additional support and to gain more personalized tools to reach actionable goals and find symptom relief. **Private sessions are currently only offered to members.
I started Vital-Side a little over six months ago after trying literally everything else over the past 15 years. I decided to enroll in Reset, A 7-Day Brain Retraining Course. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical, but I figured it couldn't make things any worse! I had been dealing with chronic pain for so long that my mindset was very negative. My beliefs were extremely limiting and my anxiety and depression was through the roof, but Vital-Side changed my life!
I was blown away by the knowledge that Lindsay shared about the link between chronic pain and our brain & nervous system. It all made sense to me. Why hadn’t any doctors or specialists brought this up over the last 15 years?! Finally, I had answers to why my doctors thought I was an anomaly and why they couldn’t help me.
After completing Reset, I joined Rewire, The Vital-Side Membership and began implementing the things I learned daily. I was hopeful for the first time in a long time! But it wasn’t until I truly believed my healing was 100% possible that I started seeing changes. Now, I tell everyone about brain retraining and nervous system regulation because it’s the only thing that has brought me REAL results!

ALL my physical symptoms are diminishing and I'm confident that as I continue to make brain training a daily practice, I will experience a full recovery. The best part is that my husband and teenage boys see a noticeable difference in me. I'm so grateful to have found Lindsay and Vital-Side! I am forever changed.

"Brain rewiring has become an essential part of my recommendations to anyone dealing with chronic, and sometimes unexplainable, symptoms. I personally dealt with diagnosis of autoimmune disease, SIBO, and mold toxicity that wouldn’t seem to quit until I took control of my own story with brain rewiring.
I now work with clients with the same history and have found that the people who incorporate Vital Side are the cases with the most success.
Brain rewiring is a necessary step in any healing journey and I’ve seen it help many reach their finish line goals after years of struggling to find answers."

"Most of the patients that I treat are suffering from a persistent state of "threat" or "danger" as a result of the cumulative total of exposures to environmental toxins and toxic life experiences.
Vital-Side is my go to when it comes to offering an effective program to my patients to assist them to escape this state of danger.
Many of my patients report that Vital-Side has been very valuable in contributing to their recovery from chronic illness."
