Episode 152: When You’re Mostly Better… But Not Fully Stable Yet
There is a stage of recovery that many people reach where life has largely returned to normal. You may be working again. Socialising more. Exercising gently. Participating in daily life in ways that once felt impossible. And yet, your system may still experience occasional fluctuations. Energy might dip after a busy week. Sleep may become more fragile during stressful periods. Your nervous system might still feel sensitive to certain types of load. This stage can feel confusing, because you’re no longer severely ill — but things don’t always feel completely stable yet. In this episode, Anna explores what she often describes as the fine-tuning phase of recovery.
Episode 151: Why Gentle Movement Can Calm the Nervous System (Even With Chronic Fatigue)
Movement can feel like a complicated topic for people. But something interesting often emerges during recovery. Certain types of gentle, rhythmic movement can actually help the nervous system settle. In this episode, Anna explores why the body sometimes responds positively to movement — not because it improves fitness, but because it can help the nervous system process activation and return toward regulation.
Episode 150: Relapse or Recalibration? Why Symptoms Can Return After Years of Stability
One of the most frightening moments in recovery can be when symptoms suddenly return after a long period of stability. And many people immediately think: "I’m back where I started." But in many cases, what looks like a relapse is actually something quite different. Sometimes the body is simply going through a temporary recalibration.
Episode 149: Not all Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) is the same
Not all post-exertional malaise (PEM) is driven by the same physiology — and understanding the difference can completely change how you approach pacing and recovery. In this episode, Anna breaks down the three most common patterns of post-exertional crashes seen in clinical practice: autonomic “hit the wall” crashes, metabolic “wired but exhausted” responses, and delayed immune-driven flares. You’ll learn why timing matters, how different symptom patterns reflect different underlying mechanisms, and why applying the wrong strategy can stall progress.
Episode 148: Protein, Pacing & Physical Capacity: A Nurturing Resilience Membership Conversation
This week’s episode offers a behind-the-scenes recording from one of our practical recovery calls inside the Membership. We explore protein intake, rebuilding physical capacity, managing post-illness deconditioning, and navigating guilt when energy fluctuates. A varied and thoughtful conversation about strengthening gently — without tipping into overdoing.
Episode 147: Processing, Purpose & Stability: A Membership Conversation on Nervous System Healing
This week on the podcast we do something a little different. We share a recording from the Nurturing Resilience Membership where we focus on supporting your Nervous System as you navigate recovering from Chronic Fatigue and other Energy Limiting Illness. This is your opportunity to be a fly on the wall of one of our group calls and if you want to take part yourself, you are very welcome to join the Membership and get involved. We cover topics such as using yin yoga for emotional processing, discharging survival energy, finding purpose in life while navigating recovery and how to create stability as you navigate the inevitable ups and downs.
Episode 146 – Research Review: The PEM Puzzle
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is more than just feeling tired after activity — it’s a delayed and often severe worsening of symptoms that affects many people with ME/CFS and other energy-limiting conditions. In this episode, Anna unpacks what PEM is, why it happens, and what current research is beginning to reveal.
Episode 145 – Oxaloacetate and Chronic Fatigue: Could this compound support your energy?
Oxaloacetate is a compound that plays an important role in cellular energy production and mitochondrial function. In this episode, Anna explores the emerging interest in oxaloacetate as a potential support for people with Chronic Fatigue and other energy-limiting conditions.
Episode 144: How to manage unsolicited advice about your chronic illness
We’ve all been there. You share some details about your chronic illness with a friend, family member or colleague and instead of empathy, you receive a prescription for yoga, meditation or a B12 injection. Although the unsolicited advice is well meaning, often it can be another load that we have to manage.
Episode 143: What I wouldn’t do if I had to recover from Chronic Fatigue all over again
Mistakes are how we learn and grow. In this episode Anna shares what she wouldn’t do if she had to recover from Chronic Fatigue all over again. She shares lessons and learnings from her own experience and experience working with clients. She weaves in guidance on what she would do instead so that you can learn to build strong health foundations from the ground up.

Hi, I’m Anna!
Online business owner since 2014, cat mum of two, ocean, food and chocolate lover, half mermaid, and CFS survivor!
I have more than 15 years experience in the health industry, a Masters Degree in Personalised Nutrition, and I am a fully certified and Trauma-Informed Functional Medicine Practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Despite a lifelong interest in health, in 2016 CFS and mold illness turned my life upside down.
Always the achiever, being unwell was not an option I was prepared to settle for. I committed myself to finding out what I needed to be well. It changed me as a person and as a practitioner, and it changed how I run my business.
The fruits of my learnings are a combination of science, somatics, and neural-reprogramming used to help you find your spark again!
