For me, your journey is personal!
I Created Elyvate Wellness Because I Lived It.
Â
I'm Heidi Wooley MS
Â
Founder of Elyvate Wellness and host of The Compliance Code Podcast™ & CIRS Decoded Podcast.
My journey started with years of struggling with CIRS and neuroinflammation. Then, in 2018 I sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury that changed my life! I spent years trying to heal my brain and body, each time, I started strong… and each time, I eventually fell off.Â
What I discovered was this: it wasn’t my fault. My brain simply wasn’t optimized for change.
That realization drove me to study neuroscience, compliance psychology, and CIRS affect on the brain. I combined that knowledge with my lived experience to design the system I wish I had back then - a system where CIRS patients heal their BRAINS so they can follow through on Lifestyle changes!

Accomplishments & Credentials
Â
What CIRS Does To The Brain
Â
In simple terms, research shows CIRS can:
-
Inflame the brain (neuroinflammation): microglia switch “on,” which can cloud thinking and slow processing.
-
Disrupt executive function: planning, working memory, attention, and decision-making get less reliable.
-
Alter stress circuits (HPA axis): you may feel wired, tired, or both—making recovery tasks feel overwhelming.
-
Reduce cognitive energy: mental fatigue and brain fog increase, so complex steps are tough to sustain.
-
Disturb sleep + glymphatic flow: poor restoration overnight can worsen daytime symptoms.
-
Sensitize the nervous system: increased light/sound sensitivity, anxiety, and reactivity to stressors.
-
Affect mood and motivation: more irritability, low drive, or “flat” motivation even when you care.
Â
Â
How this shows up in behavior:
-
-
Decision fatigue: too many choices = stalled action.
-
Inconsistent follow-through: you start strong, then fizzle as cognitive load rises.
-
Avoidance of complex tasks: labs, detox steps, and environment fixes feel “too much.”
-
Forgetfulness: missed doses, skipped steps, or difficulty recalling instructions.
-
All-or-nothing cycles: push hard → crash → lose momentum.
