Podcasts about Chronic fatigue

How many times have you decided you were going to heal?Really decided. Made the plan, committed with everything you had, followed through with real discipline. And still watched the progress fail to show up, no matter how much you were doing.For most women with chronic illness, the emotional patterns driving their symptoms are running somewhere they have never been able to reach. That is why consciously deciding to change them has never quite been enough. Almost everything shaping how your body responds is operating below the part of you making the decision and it has been shaping the outcome this whole time you have been trying to get well.In this episode, you'll discover:Why almost every thought you have about yourself and your body today is one you've already hadWhy taking conscious steps and intentional action toward healing can feel like you're not moving or progressing, no matter how committed you are to itWhat it takes to reach the part of your mind that's been subconsciously impacting your healing journey the whole timeCLICK HERE to learn more about my 7-day audio series, Becoming the Version of You Who Heals.For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

Check out start.nurp.com/doctors  to learn more. --- Why are so many patients still struggling with debilitating symptoms years after COVID—and why does conventional medicine seem to have so few answers? In this encore presentation, Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh sit down with internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough for an in-depth discussion about long COVID, persistent spike protein, chronic inflammation, and the growing number of patients experiencing symptoms that don't fit neatly into traditional medical models. The conversation explores why some individuals develop lingering neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune-related symptoms long after infection, the emerging theories surrounding persistent spike protein, and the ongoing debate over diagnostics and treatment approaches. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or simply trying to understand why long COVID remains such a challenging condition, this episode dives into one of the most controversial and widely discussed topics in post-pandemic medicine. Note: This episode is being re-released due to continued listener interest. The discussion reflects the guests' perspectives and the evidence available at the time of recording. Research into COVID-19, long COVID, and related therapies continues to evolve. In This Episode Why long COVID continues to puzzle physicians Symptoms that extend far beyond the respiratory system The connection between inflammation, clotting, and neurological symptoms Current theories surrounding persistent spike protein Why some patients experience dramatically different recoveries Autoimmune responses and chronic immune dysregulation Mast cell activation and histamine intolerance The role of the gut microbiome in recovery Challenges surrounding laboratory testing and diagnosis Why individualized treatment approaches remain essential Emerging therapies being explored for long COVID The importance of continuing research into post-viral illness About Our Guest Dr. Peter McCullough is a board-certified internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic he became one of the most recognizable physicians discussing early treatment strategies, vaccine safety, and long COVID. His work has generated both significant attention and controversy within the medical community. Key Takeaway Long COVID is not a one-size-fits-all condition. While researchers continue investigating its underlying mechanisms, patients and clinicians alike are searching for better ways to diagnose, understand, and treat persistent post-viral symptoms. This episode explores one physician's perspective on those ongoing challenges and why continued research remains critical.

What does "healed" actually mean to you and what if the version you're waiting for is one no doctor is ever going to hand you?So many women with chronic illness set the exact same goal — heal it, reverse it, make it disappear for good. But chasing that word quietly hands the authority over your own body back to the people who labelled you and the emotional patterns underneath that have a real, physical cost. This episode is about why waiting on someone else's verdict keeps you stalled and what changes when you take the definition of healed back.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the goal of reversing your diagnosis can stall your healing progress more than the diagnosis itselfWhat waiting for a doctor to call you healed is physically doing to your bodyHow to recognize real healing in your body without waiting on anyone else to confirm itUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns behind your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

Here's a question no one in the wellness world wants you to ask - what if your gratitude practice is making you feel worse?For women with chronic illness, gratitude gets prescribed like a supplement — do it every morning, feel better. But when you sit down exhausted, flat, and not remotely thankful, and write the list anyway, your body doesn't register calm. It registers one more moment of overriding what you actually feel. And that overriding is one of the emotional patterns that fuels physical symptoms.In this mini, you'll discover:Why forcing gratitude you don't feel can have the opposite effect on your bodyHow the energy behind a practice matters more than the practice itselfOne simple shift that makes gratitude something your body actually responds toThe override we talk about today is rarely the only pattern at play.

You changed. They kept the old version of you anyway.Maybe it was a season you're not proud of, a decision you made with what little you had at the time, or a moment someone witnessed and never let you forget. You've grown a hundred times over since but some of the people closest to you never updated the picture. What no one tells women living with chronic illness is that being held in someone's worst memory of you is one of the emotional patterns driving your physical symptoms, and almost no one connects the two. The effort of proving you've changed carries a real cost.In this episode, you'll discover:Why being defined as your worst moment has a real effect on your physical healthHow trying to constantly prove you've grown connects to your real physical symptomsWhat changes in your body when the only opinion of you that matters is your ownThe pattern we unpack today is rarely the only one at play.

You've been told it's your hormones.Maybe it's your thyroid.Maybe it's stress.Maybe it's just getting older.But what if your symptoms are pointing to something else entirely?In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, Monika Eva is joined by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach Patricia Elliott to explore why so many women stay stuck treating symptoms instead of uncovering what's actually driving them.Fatigue, stubborn weight, brain fog, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and thyroid concerns often look incredibly similar on the surface. The challenge? The root cause isn't always what you think.Together, Monika and Patricia discuss why conditions like Hashimoto's, mold exposure, chronic stress, grief, gut dysfunction, and hormone imbalances can all present with overlapping symptoms—and why chasing one diagnosis or one supplement rarely leads to lasting results.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this episode will help you understand why connecting the dots is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why it's not always "just hormones"• How different root causes can produce nearly identical symptoms• Why Hashimoto's, mold exposure, and hormone imbalances are often confused• The impact chronic stress and grief can have on your physical health• Why women often have more than one root cause contributing to their symptoms• How functional practitioners identify patterns instead of simply treating symptoms• Why personalized testing and a thorough health history matter• How shifting your focus from symptom management to root-cause healing can change everythingWhether you're navigating stubborn weight, low energy, digestive issues, thyroid concerns, hormone imbalances, or simply know something feels "off," this conversation will give you a new perspective on what your body may actually be trying to tell you.Connect with Monika EvaFollow Monika on InstagramClick Here for Free Weight Loss & Energy Blocker AssessmentConnect with Patricia Elliott

Urolithin A (Mitopure) and Mitochondrial Renewal--Muscle, Immune, and Skin Benefits: Jen Scheinman, MS, RDN, CDN, Director of Science Communications at Timeline details urolithin A and Timeline's branded supplement Mitopure. She describes urolithin A's discovery through pomegranate research and worm studies showing a 45% lifespan increase. She discusses human research including improved walking distance and clinical outcomes in muscle endurance and strength. Urolithin A is presented as supporting mitochondrial health by promoting mitophagy—recycling damaged mitochondria—distinct from other mitochondrial supports like CoQ10 and NAD precursors. They explain most people cannot produce enough urolithin A from foods because only 30–40% convert precursors via the microbiome and it would require about six cups of pomegranate juice daily. Dosing discussed is 500–1,000 mg/day via gummies, capsules, or powder, with effects developing over months. She reviews emerging research on immune aging, preclinical work on brain and neurodegenerative conditions, and topical urolithin A for skin.

Some of the most seemingly laid-back, relaxed women are the ones whose bodies are working the hardest to feel safe.

What if the way you see your body is one of the reasons it cannot heal?Not how you feed it. Not how you rest it. How you see it. Most women with chronic illness have never been told that the constant self-assessment they run all day is one of the emotional patterns driving their symptoms.For women with persistent and chronic symptoms, being at war with your own body is not separate from being sick. It is part of it. And until the two of you are on the same team, the healing you are chasing stays harder to reach than it needs to be.In this episode, you'll discover:How a lifetime of judging how you look has been physically draining your body, not just your confidence.Why you cannot heal a body you are at war with, and why no protocol will ever reach this.What changes in your symptoms when you stop inspecting your body and start being in it.The war you have been in with your body is one of the patterns sitting underneath your symptoms, and it is almost never the only one. That is exactly what I built my free ChatGPT prompt to help you uncover. It connects your specific physical symptoms to the emotional patterns underneath them in under 30 seconds.

You're the one everyone leans on. The one who reads the room, holds it all together, always knows the right thing to say. You are surrounded by people who love you, and yet no one in your life truly knows the woman underneath.For the women carrying chronic illness and autoimmune disease, the emotional patterns underneath the symptoms are rarely the ones you'd expect, and this is one almost no one ever connects to their body. But the cost of going through your life unseen is real, and it shows up in places you would never think to look.In this episode, you'll discover:How a lifetime of not being truly seen may be driving the symptoms no one can explainThe hidden habit keeping you invisible, even to the people closest to youWhat changes in your body when you stop hiding and let yourself be seenYou might already sense your emotions and your health are connected, but untangling it feels like one more enormous thing to take on.

When I'm better, I'll travel. When I'm better, I'll take that class. When I'm better, I'll finally say yes. If you live with chronic illness, you've probably said some version of this more times than you can count…It sounds patient. Responsible, even.

Heavy metals, toxic burden, and nervous system dysfunction may be driving symptoms that standard testing never fully explains. Kyle Hulbert joins me to discuss the therapies his clinics use most often for people dealing with chronic fatigue, Long COVID, Lyme disease, brain fog, and other complex chronic conditions. We talk about his recovery from chronic mercury toxicity, why heavy metals remain a major focus in his work, and how EBOO, chelation, Procaine IVs, and stellate ganglion blockade fit into a root-cause approach. We also discuss treatment timelines, affordability, and why mindset can influence recovery alongside physical therapies. In this episode, you'll learn: How chronic mercury toxicity contributed to Kyle's own health collapse and recovery Why EBOO and chelation are the most commonly prescribed therapies at his clinics What EBOO is and how it is designed to support detoxification, oxygenation, and immune regulation How stellate ganglion blockade and Procaine IVs are used to calm an overactive fight-or-flight response How treatment plans are personalized based on toxic burden, infections, and other root causes Guest: Kyle Hulbert is the CEO and co-founder of Longevity Centers of America, a researcher, doctoral candidate, wellness expert, and co-host of the Longevity Unlocked podcast.

What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

You spend a lot of time wishing you could go back to who you were before chronic illness.This episode is going to challenge that wish completely. Because the woman you miss, the one with the energy, the plans, the freedom to say yes, wasn't who you think she was. The longing to get her back may be the very thing keeping your body stuck, in a way no one has explained to you. It's one of the emotional patterns I see most in women with chronic illness and one almost no one connects to their symptoms.In this episode, you'll discover:The specific grief almost every woman with chronic illness carries without naming itThe truth about who that pre-illness version of you actually wasThe shift that ends the longing for a life you can't go back toThe mornings I described in this episode aren't years away.

Women with chronic illness and autoimmune disease know this pattern too well. Your symptoms have been manageable, you have been coexisting with your flare ups, getting through your days and the moment you finally take time off, your body completely falls apart.Researchers call this the let-down effect, and the emotional patterns underneath it explain why your body only lets you crash when you stop.In this mini, you'll discover:Why your body waits until you stop to crash and what is actually happening when it doesHow the let-down effect keeps women with chronic illness stuck in a cycle they cannot outrunOne daily practice that gives your body permission to catch up before it forces you toIf you want to identify the emotional patterns connected to your specific symptoms, use my free ChatGPT prompt to find out in under 30 seconds.

Are you exhausted all day but wide awake the moment your head hits the pillow? You're not alone and it's not "just stress." In this episode, I break down 3 warning signs of adrenal imbalance that most women overlook, including why you wake up tired even after a full night's sleep, the "wired but tired" cycle that keeps your brain running at midnight, and why your energy crashes every afternoon like clockwork.If any of this sounds familiar, your body may be sending signals worth paying attention to. Listen to find out what they mean and what to do next.

What if the reason you're tired, foggy, and burned out has nothing to do with stress or sleep? Most high-performing men assume their fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation come from doing too much. But there's another conversation happening in functional medicine that most doctors miss completely. Dr. Torrie Thompson is the founder of Meraki Wellness Center in Austin and specializes in mold, heavy metals, environmental toxins, and Lyme disease. She's spent over a decade helping people figure out what's actually wrong when their labs look "normal" but they feel terrible. This one hits close to home for Jon. He's been dealing with Lyme, Babesia, and chronic inflammation for the better part of a decade. His CRP (a key inflammation marker) has averaged 90 for the last 10 years, with his most recent test coming in at 127. Tori told him on the podcast it's the highest she's ever seen, by a lot. If you've ever wondered why you feel off and your doctor keeps telling you everything looks fine, this conversation is for you.   In This Interview: → Why mold is the most common hidden driver of chronic fatigue and brain fog in men today  → The three foods that hold the most mycotoxins (and why you can't see or smell them)  → How to actually test your body and your home for mold (and the testing companies to avoid) → The difference between binders that help and binders that hurt  → Why standard doctors miss Lyme disease and what to do if you suspect you have it  → The order of operations: why you have to clear mold and metals before treating Lyme  → Why chelation can wreck your health and what to do instead  → How to spot misaligned incentives when a doctor pushes expensive weekly IV drips  → The cheapest, most overlooked tools for healing (PEMF, grounding, breathwork, sleep)  → Why your toxic bucket size determines how sick you get and how fast you recover This Conversation Is For You If: → You're exhausted, foggy, or inflamed and your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal"  → You've been to multiple doctors and nobody can tell you what's wrong  → You suspect mold in your home or your body and don't know where to start  → You've been bitten by a tick at some point and never felt the same since  → You're a business owner whose energy is the engine and you need it back online   Next Step: If this conversation made you curious about what might be sitting in your body or your home, Dr. Torrie and her team work with clients across the country.

Anxiety and chronic illness are rarely talked about together and almost never in the way that actually matters.Because the anxiety most women with chronic illness carry is not about their life. It is about their own body. And that specific fear, being afraid of the one thing you can never get distance from, creates an emotional pattern that quietly changes your relationship with your body in ways that make healing significantly harder. In this mini, you'll discover:Why anxiety about your own body is fundamentally different from any other kind of fear — and why it never switches offHow that fear pulls you out of your body and turns you into someone who surveils it rather than someone who lives in itOne powerful question that reveals exactly where your relationship with your body stands right nowIf you want to understand which emotional patterns may be driving your specific symptoms, use my free ChatGPT prompt to find out in under 30 seconds.

What if the discipline, the drive and the work ethic that made you successful at everything else in your life is the reason your chronic illness is not getting better?Most women with autoimmune disease and chronic illness have never considered that the emotional patterns driving their symptoms might include the way they are approaching healing itself.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the women doing the most work on themselves are often the ones whose bodies are responding the leastHow obsessive focusing on getting better actually keeps your body in a state that makes progress virtually impossibleOne shift that separates women who are performing healing from women who are actually healingIf you want to know what emotional patterns may be driving your specific symptoms, use my free ChatGPT prompt to find out in under 30 seconds.

In today's episode, we dive into the “clinical faces of fatigue.” Join Datis Kharrazian as we explore why some individuals never fully recover from illnesses or injuries, the intricate link between mood and brain energy, and why two patients with similar medical conditions like anemia can have vastly different experiences of fatigue.We'll unravel how mitochondrial dysfunctions, both inherited and acquired, lie at the heart of chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, and other conditions often resistant to simple solutions. You'll discover why bagfuls of supplements aren't enough, and how real recovery requires understanding and addressing the unique bioenergetic roadblocks each patient faces, ranging from oxidative stress and poor sleep to blood sugar imbalances and exposure to environmental toxins.Register for Chronic Fatigue and Pain Syndromes Clinical Strategies and Treatment Applications at https://pages.kharrazianinstitute.com/chronic-fatigue-and-pain-syndromesTo become a Certified Functional Medicine practitioner, visit https://kharrazianinstitute.com/⁠.

Hirsch, MD, sits down with Ashley to talk about anxiety, the fight-or-flight response, and why many people with chronic health issues can get stuck in stress patterns without fully realizing it.

Up to 1 in 5 people may have this condition and never know it and the diagnoses they've been handed instead, from PCOS to IBS to chronic fatigue, may all be pointing at the same hidden cause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tania Dempsey, Johns Hopkins-trained internist and one of the leading researchers on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, who tells me that 100% of her PCOS patients test positive for MCAS, and walks me through why mast cells may be the most overlooked driver of chronic illness in modern medicine. If you've been told your symptoms are idiopathic, or that nothing's wrong even though everything feels wrong, this is the conversation that finally connects the dots.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition: Using Saliva Testing, Food Sensitivity Labs, and Lifestyle to Find Root Causes: Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). He discusses using functional testing alongside conventional care to uncover “dysfunction” when standard labs appear normal. Davis describes assessing adrenal and metabolic stress via saliva testing for circadian cortisol patterns, cortisol-DHEA balance, sex hormones, secretory IgA, and melatonin, emphasizing clinical correlation and individualized “studies of one.” He outlines an approach targeting multiple “healing opportunities” (H-I-D-D-E-N: hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy, nervous system) and applying D-R-E-S-S (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation) rather than relying on supplements alone. A case example links chronic hives, medication-related weight gain, and food triggers identified through additional testing, including the Mediator Release Test. The discussion also covers stress-driven gut dysbiosis, digestion decline, and EFT tapping for stress-related symptoms, and notes FDN practitioners can be found via FDNtraining.com/medicine.
