The Baseline Restoration Protocol™

A 120-day program designed for individuals who experienced a significant health crash and have not fully returned to baseline — especially those whose medical evaluations are normal or non-explanatory.

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

When cumulative stress exceeds system capacity, the body may remain in a persistent protective state. In this state, symptoms can become multi-systemic and unpredictable, energy can be inconsistent, and recovery may stall despite efforts to improve.

Rather than targeting symptoms directly, this program focuses on restoring regulatory capacity (the foundation that allows symptoms, energy, and resilience to stabilize over time), and improving how your nervous system responds to everyday demands.

In practice, this means learning how to:

  • recognize early signs that your system is becoming overloaded

  • adjust activity, environment, or sensory input before symptoms escalate

  • support recovery after periods of stress or exertion

  • gradually rebuild tolerance for everyday tasks without triggering setbacks

Over time, this can improve stability, help reduce the frequency or intensity of symptom flares, and support greater tolerance to future physical and emotional stressors.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The curriculum follows a physiological progression, with each module building on the previous one. This 4-phase protocol is designed to be implemented over approximately 120 days alongside current or recent medical care.

  • Primary focus: reducing fear around symptoms and establishing a foundation of physiological safety.

    This first module helps you understand what safety means on a nervous-system level and why it’s necessary for deeper change.

    You’ll explore:

    • What safety looks like physiologically and how it presents in the body

    • Why the nervous system is a central organizing system in post-collapse health patterns

    • The language of the nervous system and how symptoms communicate

    • Cognitive flexibility through gentle reframing

    • Introduction to sensory modulation practices

    Intended outcome: Reduced fear of sympptoms and a clearer understanding of the body’s responses.

  • Primary focus: understanding patterns so the body feels less unpredictable and less adversarial.

    This module helps decode symptoms by teaching how nervous system states influence physiology, perception, and tolerance.

    You’ll explore:

    • The mind/body connection through a physiological lens

    • The role of the vagus nerve in nervous system regulation and communication

    • Mapping stress-response states (fight/flight, freeze, shutdown)

    • Understanding the window of capacity and signs of overload

    • Building somatic and sensory awareness

    • Reframing protective physiology

    • What to expect as regulation begins to shift

    Included: Video-guided sensory modulation practices and tracking tools for monitoring practices and responses.

    Intended outcome: Symptoms become more interpretable, and patterns begin to feel understandable rather than random.

  • Primary focus: reducing overall nervous system load and improving energy consistency.

    Once patterns are recognized, this module introduces practical strategies that support stability without restriction or overwhelm.

    You’ll explore:

    • Foundational nutrition for energy building (macronutrients, meal timing, consistency)

    • Histamine reactivity and load-based management approaches

    • Transitioning from short-term stabilization strategies toward flexibility over time

    • Sensory modulation practices that support digestion and reduce meal-related reactivity

    • Reducing avoidable environmental stressors and toxic burden

    • Video-guided lymphatic self-massage to support circulation and natural detoxification processes

    Intended outcome: Greater physiological steadiness and reduced day-to-day symptoms.

  • Primary focus: reintroducing movement as a regulatory tool rather than a performance goal.

    This module is designed for individuals navigating overexertion patterns (such as ME/CFS or Post Exertional Malaise) after a health crash.

    You’ll explore:

    • Movement as a way to support regulation, circulation, and adaptability

    • Pacing principles that prevent boom-and-bust cycles

    • Different forms of movement to experiment with safely

    • Mindset work around movement and rebuilding trust in the body

    • Recovery practices that help your system integrate movement without backlash

    Intended outcome: Movement becomes supportive rather than threatening, helping gradually rebuild capacity and resilience.

  • Primary focus: applying the framework sustainably in real life.

    Progress is rarely linear. This module helps you adapt tools as life conditions change so the work remains practical over time.

    You’ll explore:

    • Understanding setbacks and non-linear progress

    • How to adjust practices during periods of stress or increased load

    • Maintaining consistency without rigidity

    • Rebuilding self-trust as capacity evolves

    Intended outcome: Confidence in navigating future fluctuations without losing progress.

APPLIED MODEL

The protocol applies an organized sequence intended to reduce physiological load, stabilize symptoms, and gradually support tolerance for daily activities.

  • What this means in practice:
    In the early phase of the protocol, the focus is on lowering the nervous system’s overall level of perceived danger.

    For many individuals with complex chronic conditions, the system continues responding as though a threat is still present — even after the original illness, injury, or stressor has passed.

    This can result in:

    • ongoing hypervigilance

    • rapid heart rate or breathing

    • sensory sensitivity

    • sleep disruption

    • digestive changes

    • fatigue that does not improve with rest

    During this phase, the goal is to gradually reduce activation so the system is no longer operating in constant protection mode.

    Why it helps
    When threat signaling remains elevated, biological resources continue to be directed toward survival rather than stabilization or repair.

  • What this means in practice:
    As baseline activation begins to decrease, the next focus is improving how consistently the body responds to everyday demands.

    This phase aims to reduce:

    • sudden symptom spikes

    • unpredictable energy crashes

    • exaggerated responses to minor stressors

    • fluctuations in heart rate, digestion, or temperature

    Rather than shifting rapidly between overactivation and shutdown, the system begins to respond in a more stable and predictable way.

    Why it helps
    Improved stability helps reduce symptom volatility and conserves energy for recovery.

  • What this means in practice
    Once responses become more stable, the system may begin to tolerate greater levels of physical, cognitive, and emotional load.

    This can support:

    • improved task completion without the need for prolonged recovery time

    • increased tolerance for movement or upright posture

    • improved focus

    • reduced post-exertional symptom flares

    Progress occurs gradually and within current recovery capacity.

    Why it helps
    Increased regulatory capacity allows the body to manage normal demands without repeatedly entering survival states such as fight/flight, freeze, or shutdown.

APPLIED TOOLS

  • Why it’s used
    Your nervous system responds continuously to sensory input (touch, taste, sight, sound, smell).

    Intentional sensory input can help reduce unnecessary stress responses and support nervous system stability.

    What this includes
    Using sensory inputs (such as touch, pressure, sound, rhythmic movement, or environmental cues) to provide consistent signals of safety to the nervous system regulation.

  • Why it’s used
    Stable energy production is required for recovery. Inadequate or inconsistent nourishment can perpetuate stress signaling and reactivity.

    What this includes
    Nutrition strategies that support consistent intake, macronutrient balance, hydration, and meal timing to improve energy availability.

    For individuals experiencing histamine intolerance or food reactivity, this may also include reducing histamine load while prioritizing nourishment and tolerance-building rather than long-term dietary restriction.

  • Why it’s used
    Excess environmental load can prolong reactivity and slow recovery. Reducing incoming burden while supporting natural clearance may help support total system strain.

    What this includes
    Identifying and reducing avoidable environmental stressors, along with gentle support for circulation and lymphatic flow (including self-lymphatic massage) to assist normal detoxification processes without aggressive intervention.

  • Why it’s used
    Movement and daily behavioral patterns influence nervous system flexibility, capacity, and resilience.

    But movement must support adaptation without exceeding current tolerance for physical activity.

    What this includes
    Low-intensity, tolerance-based movement and pacing strategies that account for current nervous system function, recovery capacity, and post-exertional symptoms.

WHAT PROGRESS TYPICALLY LOOKS LIKE

Progress is gradual and individual. The goal is not quick symptom elimination, but improving stability, tolerance, and resilience over time.

01. Reduction in Physiological Threat Response

The nervous system begins to interpret internal and external signals as less threatening, reducing chronic vigilance and fear-driven activation.

02. Increased Stability and Reduced Reactivity

As reactivity stabilizes, symptoms often soften without direct symptom targeting. Improvement tends to occur through state change rather than symptom-focused intervention.

03. Reduction in Symptom Intensity

Physiological responses may become less volatile, symptoms less tightly coupled to everyday stressors, and recovery more predictable.
