The Chronic Comeback
Annie Hopper, Founder of DNRS, Explains How You Can Rewire Your Brain To Recover From Chronic Illness
In this episode, we have Annie Hopper, founder of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, or DNRS.
Annie developed DRNS in 2008, after she herself fully recovered from unexplained illnesses by implementing her own daily program of brain-based rehabilitation, which focused on rewiring faulty neutral pathways in the brain.
Here, she explains the five pillars of her program and how you can rewire your brain to recover from chronic illness.
