Country music legend Trisha Yearwood has opened up about a serious health issue that she battled over the past few years and a revolutionary treatment that she says changed her life.

The 60-year-old singer, who is married to fellow country star Garth Brooks , told Bobby Bones on his BobbyCast podcast she struggled with long COVID so much that she could not identify common household items such as a rolling pin.

Yearwood, who earned her star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in March, told Bones that after a friend of hers heard another radio personality, Amy Brown, interview a specialist in LENS therapy – a treatment that uses “low energy electromagnetic fields to stimulate brain wave activity” – she decided to try it.

She explained that the treatment had an immediate positive effect, saying, “A friend of mine heard Amy interview with Sheri at Lens Therapy and told me about it and I went.

“I didn’t tell anybody I was going because I was like, ‘I don’t understand what this does.’ But the first thing I noticed was I was sleeping better than I had slept in 10 years.”

She told Bones after having several rounds of the treatment her brain fog began to lift.

Trisha said, “It changed my life.”

“If you’ve ever had surgery or ever had anesthesia your brain stays asleep. My brain was asleep.”

Opening up about what the treatment entails, she said, “It takes 15 minutes. It took a few times when I went. So they put these little electrodes. It looks like you’re about to get shock therapy, but it’s not that … and they hit little different spots, I think 21 places on your brain.

“They’ll hit things like retention, motivation, and childhood memory. So it’s like you’re going to therapy in a way, but you’re not talking about it.

“Your brain waves are sitting in a rut if you loop or hit a block every time. And there’s this tiny charge, you don’t feel it, it lifts those brain waves and you go, ‘Oh. There’s a better way.”

Trisha added the therapy has boosted her brain so much that it feels like it did when she was in her 30s.
