Click Below To Start Your Chronic Fatigue & Burnout Recovery Journey
This episode piggybacks off the previous episode on adrenal fatigue. Here Anna discusses the difference between burnout, adrenal fatigue or exhaustion and the syndrome of Chronic Fatigue. You can expect to learn a little bit about the differences and similarities and how we support each of these fatigue experiences.
It can be common practice amongst many Functional Medicine Practitioners and Nutritional Therapists to use adrenal testing to inform clinical decisions. This often comes in the form of addressing “dysfunction” with adrenal herbal adaptogens and glandulars to either “boost” adrenal function or “calm it”. In this episode Anna offers an alternative perspective which considers adrenal dysfunction to be intelligence from which we can learn more about what the body really needs.
The festive season can be a challenging time for so many reasons; more triggers, complex family dynamics, more commitments, late nights and increased food and drink. If you feel overwhelmed about the upcoming festivities this episode is for you. I cover four of the most important things to consider as you support your body through this time and navigate the festive season alongside your healing journey.
Post-exertional malaise is probably one of the biggest bugbears when it comes to fatigue recovery. Anna shares a general framework for tackling post-exertional malaise as well as her own experience and things that made the biggest difference for her personally.
However frustrating they may be, crashes, flares and setbacks are part of the fatigue recovery process. In this episode Anna explains what is happening in the body during a crash or flare and how you can support your body the move through them as quickly as possible.
Getting enough sleep is important and additionally, there is an increasing body of research which supports that circadian rhythms play an important role in regulating human physiology. In this episode Anna talks through how circadian rhythms impact the immune system and lifestyle practises that you can cultivate to modulate your immune system and sleep better.
The Mitochondria are often referred to as the energy powerhouses of the cell. Healthy, abundant and well functioning mitochondria are important for health and abundant production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. In this episode Anna explains the factors that influence mitochondria health and function and the dietary and lifestyle practises that can support better energy production.
If you want to know if your gut health could be impacting your energy, the short answer is; YES! However, in this episode Anna breaks things down into more detail. She talks about the 4 main ways digestive health can leave you feeling fatigued and foggy and the “5R” approach for better digestion, health and energy.
We make energy in the presence of oxygen and this means that the body must be able to optimally take oxygen in through the breath, transport it around the body and then into the cells. Any breakdown in this supply chain can be a roadblock to the production of the body’s energy currency ATP and this can be experienced as fatigue. In this episode Anna discusses red flags and what tests, foods, supplements and general lifestyle practises may be helpful to optimise your body’s oxygenation and energy production.
In this episode Anna explains why blood sugar regulation is essential for anyone who is experiencing and looking to recover from fatigue. She discusses the importance of blood sugar control for nervous system regulation. She highlights discerning signs that blood sugar imbalances could be a problem for you and how to use glucose monitoring and dietary changes to bring blood sugar into better balance.
