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. I also give a little seasonal update and some personal shares.

Proper thyroid screening is important to rule thyroid imbalances in or out on your fatigue and health recovery journey. In this episode Anna discussed what proper screening entails and why you might have thyroid symptoms, even if your thyroid markers are normal. This opens up a deeper discussion about thyroid autoimmunity and why thyroid replacement therapy alone is not enough to support the symptoms associated. Anna offers additional diet and lifestyle suggestions for Hashimoto’s but some of the concepts can be applied to any autoimmune condition so still worth a listen.
Not everyone with Chronic Fatigue will have endotoxemia and intestinal permeability, but if you do, it should be top priority for intervention. In this episode Anna explains the concepts of endotoxemia and intestinal permeability, how you can test for them and what to do about them. Anna covers a variety of factors which can impact intestinal permeability and why a personalised approach is essential when restoring membrane health.
Chronic Fatigue can be the end point of a complex web of dysfunction leading to poor ATP production. Malabsorption Syndromes can be part of the web that needs to be untangled as someone works to improve their health, energy and wellbeing. In this episode Anna covers; what is a Malabsorption Syndrome and how might you identify if it is a problem for you? Causes of malabsorption syndromes and Anna’s own personal journey with overcoming chronic digestive issues and malabsorption.
Weight gain can be a common and often unwanted side effect of chronic illness. In this episode Anna discusses how to approach weight loss when you are well enough to actively pursue it. The episode starts with a recap of concepts discussed in episode 33, reasons why we gain weight when chronically unwell, and then branches off into discussion about non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), resistance training, caloric maintenance, surplus and deficits and how to utilise these to your advantage. This episode is most appropriate for those who are at the tail end of their health journey and are able to give more attention to weight loss over and above other aspects of healing.
In this episode Anna discusses how trigger avoidance is the first step in fatigue recovery but when we stay at this stage, we stay stuck. Instead, Anna offers a narrative where our limitations can be our superpowers. If we can understand the mechanisms that are generating our most limiting symptoms, we can create our roadmap to better health. She includes examples of common things she she’s in her 1:1 practice.

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.
