What happens when you’re just trying to be a mom… and your body completely shuts down?

For Dr. Louise Swartswalter, it started after the birth of her two children: extreme fatigue, panic attacks, and a string of vague diagnoses like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Nothing made sense.

And nothing helped—not even alternative therapies—until she uncovered a deeper truth.

In this episode of the Green Living Now Podcast, Dr. Louise shares the raw story of how pesticide exposure, mercury fillings, and electrical sensitivity brought her to her knees—and how that crisis became the catalyst for something extraordinary.

After years of detoxing, going gluten-free before it was mainstream, and becoming a full-fledged pesticide activist, she realized healing had to go beyond physical. It had to include the brain and soul. That realization led her to create the B.R.A.I.N. System: a five-step approach to clearing trauma, rewiring your nervous system, and reconnecting with your true self.

And in one of the most personal moments (edited for flow) we’ve had on the show, Dr. Louise walks me through a live session—edited for flow—where she helps uncover and shift some of my own emotional and energetic blocks. The session left me deeply curious, reflective…

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve done all the right things and still aren’t getting better, this conversation might be the missing piece.

Plus: Dr. Louise shares details about her upcoming events, healing programs, and how you can begin your own brain-soul transformation.
