In this episode, Dr. Phil Parker, PhD—creator of the Lightning Process—explains what this recovery approach really is, what it’s not, and why it shows up in so many ME/CFS and Long Covid recovery stories.

With 75,000+ people trained across 22 countries and 18 peer-reviewed studies, this conversation dives into how the Lightning Process works, what’s often misunderstood about it, and how to know if it might be the right fit for you.

In this episode, I dive into Muse S Athena—the newest version of the brain-sensing headband. I walk through what’s new, how it compares to Gen 2, what makes it different (hello, brain blood flow tracking!), and why it’s become a daily must-have in my nervous system and brain retraining practice.

🧘🏼‍♀️ Choose Muse — https://choosemuse.com/raelan
Unlock 15% off the Muse EEG Headband by tapping the link ⤴️

The study tested the Muse-S™ brain-sensing headband on 45 patients with long covid over 180 days. Participants used the device daily for 90 days, with another 90 days of follow-up.

Findings:
- improved cognition, sleep, self-efficacy, and quality of life after 90 days
- significant reductions in stress and anxiety, which persisted at 180 days.
- more frequent use of the device was linked to greater reductions in stress and anxiety.
