Podcasts about Chronic fatigue syndrome

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In this episode, we delve into the ongoing research and new findings related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The discussion covers the development of standardized diagnostic criteria known as the Hingston Criteria, as well as the discovery of biological abnormalities in CFS patients. Key areas of focus include the autonomic nervous system, heart rate variability, and muscle strength.  The episode also touches on the concept of 'effort preference' and the complex interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity in chronic conditions like CFS and fibromyalgia. Additionally, the episode previews upcoming discussions on findings from functional MRIs of the brain in CFS patients.00:00 Introduction and Importance of Defining the Disease00:15 The Hingston Criteria: A New Standard for Clinical Trials00:59 Biological Evidence and Clinical Trials02:13 Autonomic Dysfunction in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome04:14 Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems Explained08:24 Chronic Stress and Its Impact on Health10:21 Comparing Functional Somatic Syndromes and Stress-Related Syndromes20:59 Muscle Strength and Cognitive Effort in CFS22:28 Understanding EMG and Its Diagnostic Value26:57 Effort Preference and Its Clinical Implications28:42 Conclusion and Next Week's Preview Joy LenzFibromyalgia 101.

 Fatigue isn't just a side effect of modern life—it can be a sign of something far deeper. In this episode, Dr. Odell uncovers the complex world of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its surprising link to the powerhouses of our cells: the mitochondria. You'll discover how mitochondrial dysfunction may lie at the heart of the brain fog, muscle pain, and post-exertional crashes that define this debilitating condition. We explore the latest science behind energy production, how viruses and inflammation disrupt mitochondrial function, and why fatigue often lingers long after an illness. More importantly, we offer practical, evidence-based strategies for supporting your mitochondrial health—from targeted nutrients and antioxidants to lifestyle therapies and cutting-edge emerging treatments. Whether you live with chronic fatigue or are just curious about how your body makes—and loses—energy, this episode will transform the way you think about fatigue and healing.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In this episode, we kick off a series on chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), often overlapping with fibromyalgia. The discussion features Dr. Avira Nath, a leading expert on neurologic infections and intramural clinical director at the NIH. Dr. Nath provides insights from his extensive research on ME/CFS, which includes a comprehensive study involving metabolic, neurologic, and cognitive tests. Delving into the relationships between post-viral syndromes, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia, Dr. Nath explains the intensive process of selecting pure patient samples for accurate study results and debunks common misconceptions. The episode also covers the criteria for diagnosing ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, highlighted by personal accounts from those living with these conditions, and explores the controversial topic of whether they represent the same or different illnesses.00:00 Introduction to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia02:18 Meet Dr. Avira Nath: Journey into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome04:38 The NIH Study: Unveiling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome07:14 In-Depth Testing and Patient Selection09:44 Diagnostic Criteria: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome vs. Fibromyalgia13:24 Symptom Comparison and Overlaps25:34 Patient Experiences and Definitions of Fatigue29:00 Conclusion and Next Steps Joy LenzFibromyalgia 101.

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret sits down with Ashok Gupta for a deep dive into the brain's pivotal role in chronic illness—exploring how conditions like Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, and persistent inflammation can often be rooted in neural and nervous system dysregulation. They discuss the distinction between hardware (the body) and software (the brain and nervous system), the science and process of limbic retraining, and practical ways clinicians can integrate these approaches into their practices.   In this interview, we discuss:       -Brain retraining vs. meditation/stress reduction      -The concept of creating and rewiring neural pathways      -Acute vs. chronic illness: transition due to overactive protective responses      -The role of genetic predispositions (e.g., detox ability, immune differences)      -The three “R”s of brain retraining: regulate, retrain, re-engage       -Practical considerations for implementation, maintenance, and long-term success      -Strategies for integrating these techniques/the Gupta program in clinical practice The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/   Connect with Dr. Ashok Gupta: Website: http://www.guptaprogram.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guptaprogram/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guptaprogram/   Special Offer to RWS Listeners:  We offer all practicing clinicians free access to our brain retraining program for one year -  worth $499 - they can sign up/apply at: https://guptaprogram.com/health-professionals/ Timestamps:    00:00 Mind-Body Healing Hypothesis 09:27 "Integrating Brain-Gut Axis Approaches" 12:59 "Brain Retraining for Chronic Issues" 18:18 Chronic Illness: Break the Vicious Cycle 26:26 Reengage with Joy Program 32:23 "Commit to a Healing Journey" 36:17 Acute vs. Chronic Treatment Approaches 43:50 "Brain Retraining Effectiveness Factors" 49:53 Brain Retraining for Clinicians 52:55 Clinician Co-Branding Service Launch 56:10 Incorporating Nervous System in Health 01:06:22 "Neuroplasticity Healing Success Stories" 01:10:42 Clinician's Corner: Episode Recap Speaker bio: Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.   Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others, and then published the well-known neuroplasticity “limbic retraining” recovery program and app known as the Gupta Program in 2007.    He has published several medical papers including randomized controlled trials on Long Covid, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia, showing that the treatment is effective, and he is continually researching these conditions.   Keywords:  brain retraining, limbic retraining, neuroplasticity, chronic illness, chronic fatigue syndrome, ME/CFS, long Covid, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, autoimmunity, gut health, nervous system regulation, functional medicine, integrative health, immune system, inflammation, trauma healing, stress reduction, somatic techniques, meditation, breath work, Gupta Program, functional health practitioners, clinical studies, pain management, anxiety, depression, food sensitivities, neuroscience, recovery   Disclaimer: The views expressed in the RWS Clinician's Corner series are those of the individual speakers and interviewees, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Restorative Wellness Solutions, LLC.

Hi everyone, we have Alan Knowles back with us and we are taking a look at how living with chronic fatigue syndrome can influence your options for life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection. Chronic fatigue syndrome or ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) is a long term condition that can cause significant tiredness, pain, brain fog, sensitivity to light and many other things. Approximately 1.3m people are living with the condition in the UK and it can alter your options for insurance, especially critical illness cover and income protection.The key takeaways:Most critical illness policies will exclude any claims for Total Permanent DisabilityIt is likely that most options for personal income protection will not be available, but there are alternativesTwo case studies of arranging life insurance for people who are living with chronic fatigue syndromeNext time it will just be me doing the podcast and I will be focusing upon protection and IHT case studies. Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors NextGen Planners.

In this revelatory episode, I sit down with Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals, to explore why minerals—specifically humic and fulvic—may be the most overlooked cornerstone of modern health. Caroline shares her personal journey from corporate burnout and mold illness to discovering the regenerative power of nature's oldest detox tools. We discuss why 75% of Americans are walking around chronically dehydrated at the cellular level, why your multivitamin might not be working, and how minerals act as the missing link between nutrition, energy, and resilience.We also dig into the science of how these plant-derived substances bind to heavy metals and glyphosate, restore gut integrity, and deliver nutrients directly to your mitochondria. Whether you're an athlete looking for performance edge or navigating chronic fatigue, this is your crash course in ecosystem-based healing. No fluff, no hype—just the raw, unfiltered truth about what your body really needs.

If you're struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or debilitating tiredness that just won't go away, you're not alone—and you're not imagining things. Millions of people suffer from persistent fatigue that conventional medicine often fails to resolve. Fatigue and stress can make everyday tasks like working at a computer feel overwhelming, as seen in this image, which represents the experience of many with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) At the Hedberg Institute, I'm always researching botanical compounds that support microcirculation, mitochondrial health, and immune regulation—all vital in restoring energy. That's why I formulated VascuSelect, a synergistic supplement that contains three powerful plant extracts: Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, and mango whole fruit powder. Let's dive into why Ginkgo biloba, in particular, stands out for those dealing with ME/CFS and how it works alongside other ingredients in VascuSelect to support your energy and vitality. An Important Study: Ginkgo Biloba for ME/CFS A recent paper published in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) titled “A Botanical Product Containing Cistanche and Ginkgo Extracts Potentially Improves Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Study” sheds important light on Ginkgo's role in combating chronic fatigue. In this gold-standard clinical trial, 101 adults with ME/CFS received a botanical supplement combining Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg/day) and Cistanche tubulosa extract (300 mg/day) or a placebo for 60 days. The results were impressive: Significant reductions in fatigue severity Improved physical performance and VO₂ max Enhanced antioxidant status and reduced oxidative stress markers Improved sleep quality and concentration Enhanced quality of life (QOL) and sexual life (SLQ) scores Decreased blood levels of lactic acid and ammonia (both fatigue biomarkers) What's particularly exciting is that Ginkgo biloba played a central role in this formulation. The authors noted that Ginkgo's flavonoids and terpenoids contribute to neuroprotection, vasodilation, and mitochondrial support, all of which are key areas of dysfunction in ME/CFS patients. This study confirms that Ginkgo biloba, known for enhancing blood flow and antioxidant activity, can play a central role in reducing the burdens of ME/CFS. How Ginkgo Biloba Helps Fight Fatigue Ginkgo biloba (standardized to 24% flavonol glycosides and 6% terpenes) is one of the most studied botanical extracts for circulatory and cognitive health. But its applications go far beyond brain support—especially for those with energy-depleting illnesses like ME/CFS. Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest and most studied medicinal plants. It's been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but modern science is now validating its applications for conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Long COVID. 1. Improves Microcirculation Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow, especially in the small vessels of the brain and extremities. This is critical in ME/CFS, where impaired oxygen delivery to tissues can worsen fatigue. 2. Supports Mitochondrial Function Many people with ME/CFS experience dysfunctional mitochondria—the energy-producing engines of cells. Ginkgo has been shown to protect mitochondrial membranes and improve ATP production, helping the body generate more usable energy. 3. Reduces Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is a hallmark of ME/CFS and contributes to inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue. Ginkgo's rich flavonoid profile helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. In the study mentioned above, participants taking Ginkgo and Cistanche showed significant increases in antioxidant enzymes like SOD and CAT. 4. Enhances Neurotransmitter Function Ginkgo biloba modulates neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—chemicals that regulate mood,

The step-by-step guide to CFS recovery This is the exact step-by-step guide you need to know in order to recover from chronic fatigue syndrome. It's the recovery path most people never get shown — but it's the one that actually leads to real, lasting progress. If you've been stuck, going around in circles, or wondering why you're not getting better — this could be the turning point. Hope it helps you as much as it's helped thousands of others.

What if your body already knows how to heal itself, and your brain just needs to get out of the way? After 27 years of debilitating chronic illness—including lupus, chemical sensitivities, and chronic fatigue syndrome—wellness coach Lori Clemmons discovered the transformative power of neuroplasticity when conventional treatments failed her.In this enlightening conversation, Lori reveals how she went from being homebound and sometimes bedridden to hiking, jogging, and living vibrantly by retraining her brain. The key? Calming her overactive limbic system—the part of the brain constantly scanning for threats—through mindful practices like forest bathing, meditation, and positive thought redirection. As she explains, when we shift from constant fight-or-flight mode to a state of relaxation, our bodies produce healing neurotransmitters instead of stress hormones, giving us the energy needed for recovery.For anyone struggling with chronic conditions, sleep issues, or the natural changes of aging, this episode offers compassionate, practical guidance for making peace with your body. Lori's "compassionate self-coaching" approach teaches how to take small, sustainable steps toward healing rather than overwhelming yourself with massive changes. Whether you're dealing with persistent health challenges or simply want to approach aging with grace and vitality, this conversation illuminates how changing your relationship with your brain can transform your relationship with your body.What small step could you take today to begin rewiring your wellness?Bio Lori Clemmons is a compassionate Wellness Coach, chronic illness survivor, and author of Rewire Your Wellness: A Holistic Guide to Healing Chronic Pain, Anxiety, and Fatigue.

Dear Stef,I need your help. I've been a long time listener and sought out therapy as soon as I turned 18. Between then and now I have made very limited progress chipping away at my armor and processing my childhood. I'm panicking at how long its taking when I want to cross the desert, meet a virtuous woman and maketh the babies.I think biggest hurdle is that I'm quite split between my emotional and intellectual. I'm really strong on the intellectual side, identifying patterns, reasoning through healthy behavior, and making theoretical connections with my past. I've learned this alone doesn't work. With me, it doesn't touch my beliefs or really change how I feel or even open a door for me to explore or interact with that realm. I feel hopelessly broken.To be more fair, I have occasionally made connections between these two worlds but only briefly a handful of times in therapy. That's not enough. I still have many dysfunctional behaviors from my near death experience called childhood. I had no bond, was not parenting and was constantly in danger of violence from my middle brother and abandonment from my sadistic mother.I'm baffled that I can logically understand how bad I had it but still lag behind so much with my emotions and lack of empathy for myself. Typically in your call-in, once people understand, they connect. I am so fucking frustrated. No matter what I've tried with two therapists and journaling, I'm not touching it.I am not without emotions, I can feel them strongly. I do try to suppress them until their intensity overpowers the suppression.Talking about suppressing, I've been experiencing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(self diagnosed) for the past 10 years. I've been to alternative, normal and specialist doctors and ruled out all kinds of illnesses, infections and deficiencies. I'm left with a "*shrug*, we don't know what's wrong with you". I have a working hypothesis that it's mental with physiological effects. I both overuse my fight-or-flight and ignore/suppress the feedback of my body. I just keep pushing through and at some point, my body has burnt out and has trouble repairing muscle damage. You are supposed to repair when you are safe!On another note, fair warning, my mom fights with fog. Prior to writing this, I have tried to overthink this conversation you and I'll have. I kept looping in those conversations because my inner mom would lose to inner Stef. She tried fighting tooth and nail to get by with "I don't know" and 'I don't remember". When she couldn't outwit or play dumb/passive or manipulate, I felt unspeakable danger will occur, like I'd die. Contrary, I think this is when SHE dies and I can be free to be vulnerable.In my experience, most of my past is a grand canyon chasm of fog so thick you can cut a slice of it and serve it as meringue. Only a few plateaus (memories) peek out with little sense of depth. On the same note, in a therapy setting, when I try to bring awareness to what I'm feeling, I get nothing, like going to a play with a white curtain in front of the performance the whole time. The cast is doing something behind there and no matter what, the curtains never part.There's quite a trail of blood leading to my mother in the my present day disfunctions: Whipping myself verbally, rounding down my accomplishments, believing I'm worthless and feeling unsafe in social situations to the point where its easier to avoid most interactions, and fear of dating due to risk of abandonment.My ACE score is 6 or 7 of 10. Not sure on the whether the one about parent being assaulted counts. There was no drug use, prison, or sexual abuse (not counting early exposure to pornography through unfettered internet access). My mother is a malignant narcissist, father a workaholic, middle brother is really fucked up, oldest brother seems kinda okay but sides with my mother. I've been torturing myself for the past 3 weeks straight trying to ask for your help. I've been strongly avoiding and fearing it and yet strongly intent to make it happen. Something tells me that I did a good job providing enough info in this email alone to for you to help me get unstuck.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Dr. Jill Carnahan invites Ashok Gupta, an expert in neuroplasticity, to discuss how we can harness the power of the brain to heal from chronic illnesses. This conversation is crucial for anyone interested in understanding how our mental and physical health are interconnected.  Throughout the episode, Ashok Gupta shares his groundbreaking insights on rewiring the brain, explaining how certain thought patterns can perpetuate inflammation and lead to an autonomic imbalance. Using his Gupta Program, Ashok discusses strategic approaches to break these cycles and promote healing and resilience. Join us for this informative and inspiring discussion on Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan. Whether you're struggling with chronic conditions or simply looking to enhance your mental health, this episode with Ashok Gupta is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice. Key Points: ① Neuroplasticity as a Healing Tool: Limbic retraining harnesses the brain's neuroplastic potential to interrupt maladaptive stress and threat responses originating from the amygdala, insula, and anterior cingulate cortex—pathways often implicated in chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, long COVID, mold toxicity, and chronic Lyme disease. ② Rewiring Dysregulated Threat Perception: The Gupta Program helps patients identify and disengage from unconscious fear-based patterns that perpetuate inflammation, autonomic imbalance, and HPA axis dysregulation—restoring homeostasis through self-directed neurocognitive techniques like visualization, mindfulness, and vagal tone activation. ③ Integration with Functional Medicine: Brain retraining serves as a critical adjunct to biochemical and physiological interventions by addressing the top-down influence of trauma, stress, and limbic system over activation, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of gut-healing, detoxification, and immune-modulating protocols.

The episode explores the importance of safety, integration, and the impact of psychedelics on personal and professional growth. Shawn offers insights into optimizing brain health, supplements, and creating an environment conducive to healing and growth. 00:00 Introduction and Initial Reflections 00:22 Welcome to the Psychedelic Coach Podcast 01:10 Meet Shawn Wells: Accomplishments and Identity 02:44 The Turning Point: Embracing Psychedelics 07:55 The First Psychedelic Experience 09:37 Realizations and Integration 13:03 The Journey of Healing and Growth 24:37 The Importance of Safety in Psychedelic Spaces 28:52 Exploring Parazanthine and Brain Health 48:32 Exploring Mitochondrial Health 52:29 Understanding Neuroplasticity and Microdosing 56:59 The Power of Echo Dosing 01:03:06 Navigating Emotional States  01:07:35 The Truth About Supplements 01:12:29 Parazanthine: The New Energy Booster 01:14:37 Final Thoughts and Reflections Overcoming the Past: The Weight of Achievements Shawn candidly opens up about his past, marked by trauma and an excessive drive for achievement. Despite a successful career, with numerous patented ingredients and a bestselling biohacking book, Shawn reveals that his accomplishments were once tied to conditional love and recognition. It was during his first psychedelic journey that he realized he was worthy of unconditional love. This epiphany became the cornerstone of his transformation. The Turning Point: Embracing Psychedelics Inspired by thought leaders like Tim Ferriss and Dave Asprey, Ben Greenfield Shawn ventured into the psychedelic realm. His first experience, facilitated by Tah and Kole, was both terrifying and enlightening. Surrounded by warmth and acceptance, Shawn experienced a profound shift—learning he could be loved simply for being himself. Integration: The Ongoing Process The psychedelic experience was a catalyst, but Shawn emphasizes the importance of integration. Post-ceremony efforts involved distancing from unsupportive relationships, embracing conscious uncoupling, and reevaluating career choices. These changes, along with ongoing self-work and facilitated sessions, helped Shawn develop deeper relationships and inner peace. Science Meets Spirituality: Enhancing Experiences As a formulator, Shawn began exploring how supplements could augment psychedelic journeys. By focusing on brain health and neuroplasticity, he developed stacks that aid in pre and post-journey integration. Parazanthine, a caffeine metabolite, is one such compound that supports cognitive function and energy without the typical side effects of caffeine. Creating Safe Spaces: The Role of a Facilitator Shawn's journey highlights the value of skilled facilitation in processing trauma and enhancing psychedelic experiences. He stresses the need for facilitators to create environments that promote safety and acceptance, allowing participants to explore their inner depths without fear. Evolving the Path: The Echo Dosing Concept Shawn introduces the concept of echo dosing—microdosing with elements of past transformative experiences to reinforce the gains made. By integrating sensory triggers like music and aromas from the original journey, individuals can deepen their integration and continue personal growth in their daily lives.
