Stability is the first step in Chronic Fatigue Recovery. If you are someone experiencing a chronic illness such as CFS/ME, Long Covid, Post-Viral Fatigue, Vaccine Injury, Fibromyalgia or an autoimmune condition, you will be very familiar with the concept of energy crashes, symptom flares and post-exertional malaise (PEM) – all of which are symptoms of an unstable system.
A low histamine diet may be part of the solution for Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance which can be part of the complex web of imbalances in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and other chronic illnesses. This blog specifically is designed to help you implement a low histamine diet should you suspect that MCAS and /or histamine intolerance are a problem for you.
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance may be part of the complex web of imbalances in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and other chronic illnesses.
MCAS can be associated with pain, cognitive dysfunction, brain fog, sensitivity to light and sound or intolerance to chemicals and smells. Many of these symptoms, and more, go hand in hand with those who experience a chronic illness.
The chronic activation of the immune system in the brain can lead to progressive damage and dysfunction of neurons and other brain cells, contributing to the development and progression of dis-ease over time.
Fasting, in simple terms, is not eating for periods of time. If you are wondering whether this could be helpful if you struggle with chronic fatigue, CFS/ME or another chronic illness, the answer is: it depends.
Can fasting be a useful tool in fatigue recovery? Absolutely yes!
Can it be detrimental when used inappropriately for the individual? Also yes.
Therefore, my goal here is to help you understand the nuance and whether or not it could be appropriate for you.
If you have been wondering whether or not a ketogenic diet can help chronic fatigue then the short answer is: Yes and, it depends.
If you would like to understand whether or not a ketogenic diet may be appropriate for you and where you fit into the nuance of it all, then keep reading…
Adrenal Testing most typically refers to saliva tests which plot adrenal function across the day. There are some schools of thought that suggest poorly functioning
Many people with Chronic Fatigue conditions like CFS/ME and Long Covid are turning towards technology, like Heart Rate Variability, to help them better manage their health, their nervous systems and support their recoveries.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a biological marker that you can now measure using a watch or an app on your smartphone linked to a wearable device. If you can understand HRV, you potentially have valuable insight into the state of your autonomic nervous system and day to day fluctuating levels of resilience and capacity.
However, when it comes to harnessing the power of HRV in chronic illness generally and chronic fatigue more specifically, there is both an art and a science. Being able to understand and interpret data in a way that is meaningful to the individual is what can make or break the impact of the technology.
Gallbladder Dysfunction can be a possible contributing factor to the presentation of Chronic Fatigue. Chronic Fatigue is the consequence of poor energy availability, due to poor production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which happens in the mitochondria, the “energy factory” of the cell. There are multiple mechanisms by which the production of ATP can be impacted, and often in the case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), there isn’t just one mechanism, but several, all creating the same end result. The gallbladder plays a crucial role in the digestive system and overall metabolic function and therefore could be one of those mechanisms in some, but not necessarily all cases.
Could SIBO be linked to your chronic fatigue? Chronic illness is complex, nuanced and intricate and often imbalances in one system will weave into the
