Healing for Chronic Illness
Moving Beyond Survival: Restoring Your Body’s Natural Capacity to Heal
This programme is a deeper level of support, because at BODY | MIND IQ we recognise chronic symptoms are not weakness, they are the body’s way of saying “I can’t keep surviving this way”
Why It Matters
When the body stays in survival mode, energy is trapped. Digestion slows, immunity falters, hormones misfire, sleep becomes shallow, and the mitochondria, your cells’ powerhouses, burn energy for defence instead of producing energy for repair (Naviaux et al, 2016)
This often shows up as:
Persistent fatigue or burnout
Chronic pain, tension, or migraines
Digestive issues such as IBS or reflux
Hormonal imbalances or cycle irregularities
Anxiety, panic, or emotional volatility
Post-viral fatigue or long Covid
Autoimmune flares and immune suppression
Sleep disturbances and shallow rest
The Science of Healing
Polyvagal Theory (Porges): Healing begins only when the nervous system feels safe. In fight, flight, or shutdown, recovery can’t occur.
Cell Danger Response (Naviaux): Chronic illness reflects cells stuck in “alarm mode,” unable to switch back into healing.
Trauma Research (van der Kolk): The body holds what the mind cannot resolve and regulation must include releasing stored survival energy.
By using these priniples of healing we move the body from survival into safety and restore the natural ability to heal. This is the essence of the BODY | MIND IQ A.L.I.G.N. protocol (Click the link for more infomation)

Begin Your Healing Journey
Healing doesn’t begin with doing more, it begins with listening.
When you pause long enough to hear what your body has been trying to say, you start to unlock the intelligence beneath your symptoms. Whether you’re navigating fatigue, pain, burnout, or that quiet knowing that something’s “off,” this is your invitation to return home to yourself.
At BODY | MIND IQ, we bridge science and embodiment to help you heal from the root cause, through root cause analysis, breathwork, somatic practices, and lifestyle medicine grounded in the latest research on the nervous system. This isn’t a quick fix; it’s a guided return to safety, energy, and trust in your body’s natural capacity to heal.
The first step begins when you complete the Apply Now form below to see if you meet the intake criteria. Once submitted, Bal will personally review your application and arrange a follow-up call to explore your needs and ensure this journey is the right fit for you.
Your healing begins with that first conscious breath and a decision to take the next step..
