I remember when I was unwell, I used to feel so low. And I just couldn’t understand why? I was generally a really positive person, but something felt wrong. If you’re feeling like that too, I want to help you realize that it is not the real you!
When our nervous system and immune system is over-responding, with all this excess
inflammation, this can cause us to have lower levels of the feel-good chemicals in the
brain like dopamine and serotonin. 
For instance, serotonin gets lowered, which is a feel-good chemical in the brain. And dopamine is also at a lower level, which is the reward chemical, meaning we may find it difficult to enjoy activities. We may also have lower levels of a chemical called oxytocin, and oxytocin is the love hormone or the cuddle hormone which means we may not feel as close and loving to those around us.
This can make us feel despondent, negative, not really optimistic about our recovery, even though at some level we know that we are a positive person. Now, this is all perfectly normal. It’s just a temporary feeling in the brain due to the condition, and it’s not reflective of your true authentic self.
So, as I guide you through this program, let’s observe the negative emotions and
feelings in our minds but let’s not buy into them. These negative emotions are just
temporary, and as we recover good natural feelings will return.
