ANS Rewire is an online recovery program designed to help people normalise the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) - the part of the nervous system responsible for regulating things like heart rate, digestion, sleep, and energy. It’s based on the idea that conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and POTS are often linked to a dysregulated or “stuck” nervous system that has become overly reactive.
The programme is self-paced, online, and video-led, developed by Dan Neuffer - a former physicist and ME/CFS/Fibro/POTS patient who recovered using a combination of physical strategies and brain-training techniques.
The program is a multi-lateral approach with a strong emphasis on understanding how the illness works to help patients engage more effectively with their health care providers. It includes physical treatment options, physical recovery strategies as well as both mind and physical brain-training strategies.

ANS Rewire combines education, brain retraining, and lifestyle reconditioning.
Here’s what’s included:
Neuroplasticity training: Techniques to rewire automatic stress responses and calm the ANS
Pacing strategies: Managing exertion and avoiding crashes
Cognitive and behavioural techniques: Managing beliefs, thoughts, and emotional triggers
Mind-body tools: Guided meditations, visualisation, breathing, and nervous system calming practices
Lifestyle modules: Guidance on sleep, nutrition, mindset, socialising, and relapse prevention
The idea is to gradually shift the body out of chronic “fight/flight/freeze” mode and allow natural healing to resume.
-
No coaching is required but optional one-on-one sessions can be booked.
ANS Rewire has a strong following and has helped many, but like all neuroplasticity tools, it requires daily commitment.
Less well-known than Gupta or DNRS, but more science-focused and structured.
Dan. Neuffer’s book CFS Unravelled is a good starting point for understanding his model.
