In this episode Anna offers a framework and a toolbox to support fatigue recovery from a “mindset perspective”. Although it is hard to separate mind and body, we can influence our physiology from the top down using language, cognition, reasoning and voluntary movement. Anna touches on how you can use the power of these tools to help you get “unstuck” in your chronic illness experience.
Navigating a fatigue recovery experience can also come hand in hand with navigating changes in body, shape, and size. For some, this is just part of the process and for others, it can be an uncomfortable experience. In this episode, Anna explains why we might gain weight in fatigue recovery and where weight loss fits in the context of fatigue recovery. She shares guidance for managing food and exercise in support of healthy body weight and minimising weight gain. She ends with a short discussion about where the nervous system may intersect with our attitudes toward weight, exercise, and food.
Anna shares her perspective on addressing imbalance neurotransmitters in fatigue recovery. She zooms out and offers an understanding about how taking a big picture view can be much more successful and beneficial in the long term.
Anna shares a framework for understanding neuroinflammation from her training in Psychoneuroimmunology with Leo Priumbroom. This is based on the understanding that you cannot have chronic disease without neuroinflammation and that neuroinflammation is the universal mechanism behind disease. She takes her time to explain the mechanism of neuroinflammation in both acute and chronic illness and offers insight into how we support the body to find health again.
Anna shares an update about where she is in her own healing journey. She enters into a discussion about identity and the importance of how we choose to identify with our illness experience. She finishes up sharing some strategies she is using to support her body right now.
Are you just managing your fatigue recovery or are you experiencing the deeper healing that is required to fully recover? In this episode Anna talks about the difference between Fatigue Management and true healing, how she distinguishes between the two and how to know which stage you may be in at the moment.
Knowing what to eat can be really confusing. There are so many mixed messages it’s hard to know if you should be vegan, low carb, carnivore or keto!? In this episode Anna breaks down a step by step framework that you can follow to optimise your diet for energy in a way that hopefully shouldn’t feel too overwhelming and restrictive.
There comes a point in one’s fatigue recovery journey where you are doing okay but you want more. In this episode Anna talks about how she progressed her daily exercise from walking to getting back into the gym and lifting heavy weights. She talks about important considerations as you take the next step and how you can minimise PEM and support recovery.
If you are an exercise lover, one of the biggest frustrations with chronic illness is how it impacts your ability to exercise. Unfortunately, we can only start where we are and work with what we have got, but, you can rebuild your health and exercise capacity. This episode covers some basic principles to get you started when it comes to building a baseline of physical activity. The next episode will focus on how to progress.
Having a chronic fatigue or burnout experience and going through perimenopause at the same time, adds another level of complexity to fatigue recovery. Anna invites registered Nutritional Therapist Francesca Liparoti to talk about how we can support perimenopause alongside fatigue recovery. This episode is not just for women over 40, it is also for women in their 20’s and 30’s because the habits we create now, will hold us in a better balanced place as we move through the natural transitions of life.
