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.

A chronic fatigue experience or formal diagnosis is quite frankly, devastating. It can feel like every aspect of your life is falling through your fingertips. You are trying to hold everything together, process the inevitable grief and loss, understand your health care options and medical terminology, with the least amount of physical, emotional and mental energy.
Anxiety and mood disorders often go hand in hand with chronic fatigue. It is not uncommon for those experiencing chronic fatigue to also struggle with their mental health. Understand the underlying mechanisms for anxiety and how you can address them by supporting stress resiliency and brain health.

Fatigue recovery starts with building stability in the body. We want to reduce the sense of threat where possible and promote a greater sense of safety and, in doing so, cultivate more of a parasympathetic state which supports rest, recovery and repair. One of the ways we do this, is with Circadian Rhythms!
