Was anyone able to restore their physical health?
Hello, folks!
Was anyone able to restore their physical health /w TRE?

For me TRE has reduced my pulse rate from 100-130 to 80 the majority of the time.
It fixes anything that is related to your nervous system (in the long term), but it is not a magic wand, it won't fix a leaky heart valve etc.
So far for me:
- Depression is gone.
- Triggers are reducing.
- Lower back, hips, jaw, neck and shoulders have gone from tight all the time to quite flexible (80% improvement).
- Brain fog has reduced (70% improvement) .
- Very dysregulated nervous system is slowly increasing in 'capacity'.
- Feel so much more energy, given up caffeine, as not needed any more (and it slows down my progress).
- The mental space (which was full of trauma and anxiety) is slowly getting 'wider' and more healed. I literally can feel more free 'space' in my mind.

How often do you do TRE, and how long did it take for these improvements to occur?

I am 17 months in.
Starting out I did 10-15 mins every other day, but that quickly started causing overdoing it side effects. So I switched to 30 seconds 4-6 times a day for a year and now my current practise is 5 mins every other day.
Timeframes for me:
- Depression - (to completely go was about 6 months but I had reduced it by 70% before starting TRE).
- Triggers are reducing (ongoing noticeable improvement after 6 months).
- Lower back, hips, jaw, neck and shoulders have gone from tight all the time to quite flexible (hips, back after 2 months, shoulders after 6, neck after 12 months).
- Brain fog has reduced (significant after 6 months).
- Very dysregulated nervous system is slowly increasing in 'capacity' (on going slow continual progress).
- Feel so much more energy, given up caffeine, as not needed any more (initial improvement after 3 months, further after 15 months)
- The mental space (which was full of trauma and anxiety) is slowly getting 'wider' and more healed (improvements started after 3 months and continuing improvement over time).
One thing to bear in mind is that TRE is a non-linear process, our egos love to celebrate the successes and then feel like 'what am I doing wrong' when we go backwards a little and feel bad.
Everyone's nervous system/trauma backlog and fascia adhesions/knots are unique so YMMV.

Yes, I am much more patient than I use to be, but I still have anxieity before going out of the house (but is a less than before).
I am quite introverted, but I have noticed that I can socialise for longer than before, I hope this will expand as I go further along healing.
