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.

Low blood sugar increases cortisol levels and sympathetic activation of the nervous system, which is disruptive to creating a healing state. In the early stages of fatigue recovery we want to create as much stability as possible to allow for healing.
