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.
In this episode Anna discusses the nuance when it comes to ketogenic or low carbohydrate diets and fatigue recovery. You can expect to learn how a ketogenic could be beneficial to someone who wants to increase their energy and how you can identify if it would be appropriate for you specifically. Anna shares steps on implementing a ketogenic diet including top tips for managing side effects as you transition. She shares her own experience and how to begin to transition out of a ketogenic diet once you have maximised the therapeutic benefits.
Anna interviews her very first guest; Mindset and Empowerment Coach, Ellen Murray. Lockdown brought her multi-six figure business to a standstill and then a viral infection swept her off her feet.

Anna reflects on the types of clients she works with in her practise and puts them in one of two categories. She explains the qualities of each category and how she prioritises support for the client depending on where they fall. You will probably see yourself in one of the two categories and this episode may help you to understand what you could be doing more of, less of or just help you structure your recovery a little bit better.
This episode is a little different. Anna offers up 10 journaling questions to help you reflect on the past 12 months. She talks through her own answers to the 10 questions with some vulnerable shares and insights into her health and business journey.
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.
