Is it suitable for me?

The LP is a training course that teaches you to use your brain differently to improve how your body works. For it to be effective, it’s important that the approach feels right for you. Unlike taking medicine, where the patient is not that involved in the process of recovery, using the LP requires you to actively apply the tools and techniques taught in the course.

Over the past 25 years, researchers have identified key factors that contribute to success with the LP. While most people find it helpful—98% of those surveyed in 2024 said they’d recommend it—like all approaches, it’s not the right fit for everyone.

We present some of the key findings of this research to help you decide if the LP might be right for you.

Checklist of common reasons for taking the LP

  • Exhausted and tired no matter how much rest you get

  • Stuck with re-occurring pain, health symptoms and issues

  • Feels like your body is affected by almost everything

  • Feels as if your body is unable to cope in the way it used to

  • Feeling low and upset much of the time

  • Feeling overwhelmed by things that you used to deal with easily

  • Wanting better health but just can’t find anything that works

  • If any of these sound familiar then the LP could be valuable

Do others experiences of the LP make sense to me?

Clients often contact us months, and even years, after the course telling us what they have achieved. Look through the stories of some of the 75,000 people who have taken the LP.

Many doctors have observed clients taking the course or have taken the LP themselves. Having seen the results and studied the research their thoughts  might be helpful.

Do the Concepts Behind the LP Fit With Your Way of Thinking?

Researchers identified that these are important components for getting results with the LP.

  • Understanding the Brain-mind-body connection – how you can use your brain to change how your body works

  • Being open-minded to new ways of thinking about health

  • Recognising that you can have an important role to play in improving your health

  • A good sense of connection with your chosen trainer

When is it not suitable?

Research suggests the LP would be unlikely to help you if you do not think :

you can influence your health through a training program

the link between the brain, mind and body could be used to improve your symptoms

We have also found that those with a medical diagnosis of active psychosis are not suitable candidates for the LP, as the lack of shared reality makes teaching the skills difficult.

As it involves teaching and understanding concepts, it is not suitable for anyone with a level of comprehension less than that of a six year old. Those with cognitive impairment would need to be assessed on a case by case basis.

As each case is different we would recommend talking it though with a practitioner so they can assess and advise if it is suitable for you or not.
