When people are dealing with mulitple pathogens and or chronic illnesses at the same time, they want to feel better fast. In the integrative world there are so many tools in the toolbox while also wanting to build trust quickly that they take an aggressive approach to dealing with symptoms/pathogens. On the flip side, you don't want the person to feel worse before they feel better. They already can barely function! In this episode, I'm going to share my perspective of both as a health coach and you can decide for yourself which approach could be best for you.    Connect with Marian: www.roadtolivingwhole.com www.instagram.com/mairmitchell   Join the Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapeuticfoodsolutions

Today, I'd like to share the inspiring story of Shelby, a brave individual from the United States who has been dealing with multiple chronic illnesses for over a decade. Shelby's journey began 11 years ago when she started experiencing a mysterious illness that left her constantly sick and seeking answers from various medical professionals.Her health struggles led to the diagnosis of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus, which subsequently triggered a cascade of autoimmune issues and multiple chronic illnesses. Despite facing numerous hospital visits and consultations with different doctors, finding effective treatment and receiving a proper understanding of her condition proved to be a challenging and frustrating experience for Shelby.After years of uncertainty, Shelby was eventually diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), a condition that was previously unknown to her and many healthcare providers she encountered. The lack of awareness and understanding of MCAS among medical professionals often left Shelby feeling isolated and misunderstood, with few options for appropriate care.Shelby's perseverance led her to seek out specialized medical professionals, including a functional medicine doctor and a gastroenterologist, who were instrumental in guiding her towards the right treatment. One of the key therapies that significantly improved Shelby's quality of life was low-dose naltrexone (LDN), which helped balance her immune system and manage the symptoms of MCAS and other autoimmune conditions.Before finding the right treatment and healthcare support, Shelby's daily life was severely impacted by her illnesses. As a high school junior, she was forced to discontinue her education due to the debilitating symptoms that left her bedridden and unable to carry out simple daily activities. From experiencing severe pain, muscle weakness, and constant nausea to enduring hospitalizations and drastic weight loss, Shelby's journey was filled with immense physical and emotional challenges.Despite the hardships she faced, Shelby's resilience and determination shone through as she sought to raise awareness about MCAS and other underrecognized chronic illnesses. By sharing her experiences and advocating for a greater understanding of these conditions, Shelby aims to create a more supportive and informed community for individuals struggling with similar health challenges.Shelby's story reminds us of the importance of empathy, awareness, and access to comprehensive care for individuals navigating complex chronic illnesses.

Last year's declaration by the U.S Surgeon General that loneliness and isolation are a public health crisis was based on research showing that they have a negative impact on mental health, blood pressure, cognitive performance and, most relevant to our discussion today on Raise the Line, immune system function. That's why it's important for people dealing with chronic illnesses to stay socially connected at whatever level they are capable of, says our guest Dr. Rose Perry, a neuroscientist and executive director of an applied research non-profit called Social Creatures. “When your symptoms aren't good, being isolated can be like throwing gasoline on the fire. I don't think lack of social connection is a cause of chronic illness, it's really about setting conditions that make healing maximally possible,” she says. At Social Creatures, Dr. Perry and her team create programs designed to help populations at risk for social isolation feel like they are connected and supported.  As she explains to host Raven Baxter of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai, providers should be aware of programs like hers and affinity groups (e.g. knitting clubs) in their locality and engage in “social prescribing” as part of a treatment plan. “A lot of doctors will develop a resource list so they can pull it up and then kind of matchmake their patient with an organization.” Don't miss this final episode in our special series on Post-Acute Infection Syndromes where you'll hear about practical strategies providers can use to help address an often overlooked factor in someone's ability to be as healthy as possible. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

Having a child with a complex illness can be especially challenging for parents because of differing opinions among providers about causes, symptoms and treatments for disorders such as long COVID and chronic Lyme. “A common theme I would hear from parents is that they really had to push their providers to consider Lyme. Sometimes they even had to beg for testing to be done because it just wasn't considered a possibility,” says Dr. Charlotte Mao, a pediatric infectious disease physician working with leading foundations in the Lyme disease and associated infections arena.  Adding to challenge is that kids often have trouble explaining their symptoms, says Dr. Lael Yonker, a pediatric pulmonologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. “I think takes a lot of patience by the pediatrician, listening carefully to the parents and patient, and really trying to dig into what their symptoms actually mean.” Join host Raven Baxter of The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai as she draws out valuable guidance on how providers can work effectively with both children and parents during a journey laden with uncertainty. Key tips include having humility for the limits of your own knowledge, keeping an open mind for unexpected possibilities and having respect for what patients know about their own body. Don't miss this wisdom drop from these deeply experienced pediatricians and researchers as our series on Post-Acute Infection Syndromes continues. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation

“Helping patients with complex illnesses is a lot like rock climbing. You're looking for toe holds and finger grips that you can use to get from where you are to where this patient wants to be,” says Dr. Leo Galland, an internist and author who specializes in undiagnosed or difficult to treat illnesses. His fellow guest on this episode of Raise the Line, co-founder of the California Center for Functional Medicine Dr. Sunjya Schweig, agrees and says figuring out that next anchor point depends on taking the time to learn about all aspects of a patient's life and lifestyle, and building a cooperative relationship with them. “Listening is the first therapeutic step,” he tells host Raven Baxter of The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at Mount Sinai. In this deeply informative conversation, both experts underscore that working in this realm requires moving past differential diagnosis and symptom management and persisting in the search for root causes. “You have to embrace the complexity and the individuality of illness. Thinking for yourself and always questioning is really important and, you know, being a real pain in the butt kind of person is what you've got to be,” adds Galland. This special episode is packed with valuable insights on the limits of testing, the role of disease triggers and mediators, the power of lifestyle changes and much more as our series on Post-Acute Infection Syndromes continues. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

What can you do to be productive when you have a chronic illness or a very unpredictable schedule? That's what we're looking at today.  You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived Take The NEW COD Course The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 329 Hello, and welcome to episode 329 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. It's a daily challenge to protect our time and stay focused enough to get our work done. It becomes even harder when we don't get enough sleep or are worried about something in our personal life.  Yet, if you are suffering from a chronic illness or recovering from one, this challenge becomes exponentially more difficult. Not only are you trying to get work done, but you will also face unpredictable tiredness, low energy, difficulty consistently doing your work, or even knowing if you can do any work today.  This means planning the week is almost impossible, and you'll find yourself frequently changing events and meetings on your calendar.  The good news is there are things you can do that don't make you even more tired.  So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Mia. Mia asks, do you have any productivity tips or advice for those with chronic illness? Or just those who have incredibly unpredictable schedules? I'd love to find a way to be more productive that doesn't feel stressful, but obviously, time management is difficult for me.  Hi Mia, thank you for your question.  With illness, the priority is always to avoid making things worse. This means prioritising rest above everything else. Naturally, this can be difficult as an employee because of your company's demands. Hopefully, you have an understanding boss.  It's also tricky if you are self-employed, as your work may be your only source of income.  So, given that you must prioritise rest and recovery, the place to start is with your calendar. Don't start with your task manager—that will never help you. All that will do is remind you that you have a lot of things to do. It will never tell you if you have the time to do it. Only your calendar can do that.  Before opening your calendar, though, ask yourself when you will most likely be focused and have some energy. That could be in the morning if you are a morning person or perhaps in the evening if you are a night owl. It's this time you want to be protecting.  However, there's an important factor to consider. According to recent research, and as Andrew Huberman points out, we focus in ninety-minute cycles.  In other words, we can focus for about ninety minutes before needing a rest. However, that time will reduce if you are ill or recovering from an illness. Depending on the severity of your illness, the amount of time you can focus on before needing a rest could be very short. A couple of years ago, I worked with a client who was suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and her focus time was around twenty minutes before requiring a four-hour rest. Fortunately, she was on long-term sick leave, but being an ambitious person, she wanted to readjust her lifestyle so she could better cope when her condition improved.  When you know your focus time ability, you can better plan a schedule that allows you to get at least some things done.  For instance, if you know you focus better early in the morning, plan your focus block of time then. You want to work with your natural rhythms rather than fighting against them. It's tough when you're not sick to fight your natural rhythms; when you are sick or recovering from an illness, it will work against you and leave you more tired.  When planning the week, try to book meetings and appointments when you are not at your most focused. There's something about human interaction that produces its own natural energy.  This means that if you are a morning person, you would schedule a block of time in the morning for doing your most important work for the day, then give yourself a sufficient break before allowing one or two meetings in the afternoon.  The good thing about this approach is if you feel strong and can go a little longer with your focus time, you have the flexibility to do so. Although, be careful here.  I usually need to wake up early Monday and Tuesday morning for calls. I only get three or four hours of sleep on Sunday and Monday nights. I find that on Tuesday afternoons and evenings, I am exhausted. Knowing this, I don't schedule much work but keep things as free as possible, so I am not trying to push myself too hard.  If I push through on a Tuesday, I am also tired on Wednesday. If I back off a little on a Tuesday afternoon, it will give me time to recover, and I can be back on point on Wednesday. If you schedule this during a weekly planning session, you can protect time for focused work before anyone tries to schedule more meetings with you.  Okay, so that's the weekly planning taken care of. Now, how do you deal with the unpredictability of suffering from a chronic illness? This is where having a weekly objective comes in.  Whether you are suffering from a chronic illness or not, one thing you will likely have discovered is that, being human, your energy and motivation ebbs and flows. Some days, you're on fire and in the zone; others, everything is a struggle. The trouble is, it's impossible to predict when this will happen.  The mistake we all make is thinking tomorrow will be the same as today or better, yet that's not guaranteed. When you set objectives for the week rather than the day, if you do have a bad day or two, you can still recover and get what needs to be done, done. Another thing to work on is establishing your daily non-negotiables. In my case, they are walking Louis, my little Yorkshire Terrier, getting a minimum of twenty minutes of exercise and spending at least thirty minutes responding to my actionable emails and other messages.  What are your daily non-negotiables beyond getting enough sleep and the right nutrition?  Whatever they are, they need scheduling, so you protect time for them.  I would also recommend scheduling your rest times too. Rest and recovery are a big part of your rehabilitation when you are ill. This becomes a hard must-do each day—whether you want to or not. Not getting sufficient rest will delay your recovery, which is never good.  Scheduling your rest time also brings some predictability to your days and week. If you know you will rest between 10:30 am and 2:30 pm, you can better schedule your tasks and appointments in the day. You have a hard block for four hours in the middle of your day, and whether you need the rest or not, at least you know you have it in reserve.  Now, what about the people with unpredictable schedules? I was thinking about what types of work this would be and thought of firefighters and emergency room medical professionals. No day will be the same; some days could be very quiet, others extremely busy and stressful.  In these situations, you will find that this type of work involves shifts. You're either on shift or not. When I was working in hotels, we worked shifts, and there was no way I could expect to do any focused work while I was on shift. It was impossible to predict when things would be chaotic or quiet.  To do focused work, you need protected time. If you are not confident you will get the peace and quiet needed, you will be on edge, waiting for the next interruption. This is not a great place to be mentally when trying to do your most important work.  The only real option is to structure your days so that when you are on shift, you allow yourself the freedom to do light, easy tasks such as admin and communications. These rarely need a lot of focus and can usually be done little by little.  You can save the tasks you need to concentrate on for an hour or two when you are not on shift. Once you structure your weeks in this way, if you are asked to produce a piece of work by a given date, you can check your calendar to ensure you have enough non-shift days to do the work you are asked to do.  It's worth remembering that we are all limited by the hours we get each day. We can leverage this by hiring assistants and other people to do some of our work, but that option is not available for all of us. And you cannot delegate important things such as rest, family time, and working on your health to other people.  When you work shifts, much of the decision-making is taken away from you. You're on shift, and your job is to help people. For those hours you are working your shift, that's what you do. If there is downtime, take advantage by doing the little things that have a bad habit of accumulating, but never schedule something important when you are working. Leave those tasks for when you are off shift.  The key, Mia, is to get very strict with your calendar and trust that it will do its job for you. This does involve you not ignoring your calendar. You can reschedule or delete things but not ignore them. You need to trust something, and your calendar serves you. You can trust it.  I hope that has helped, and thank you for your question, Mia.  Before I go, my book, Your Time Your Way, is now available in Kindle, soft back, and hardback versions. The links are in the description below.  Thank you for listening. It is now my turn to wish you all a very productive week.   

One key theme in this episode of Raise the Line is that attention to details matters for both patients with post-acute infection syndromes and the clinicians helping them as they grapple with often debilitating symptoms caused by dysautonomia, cardiac complications and other disorders. For patients, it's about paying close attention to their bodies and diet, and being intentional about their use of energy. For providers, it's listening very carefully to patients as they describe their fatigue, pain, lightheadedness and other symptoms and keeping up with the latest research on  treatments so there are options to offer if there's little or no progress being made in physical therapy, which is sometimes the case. “Don't just assume therapy is gonna go smooth. It rarely goes smooth. So, have an answer for the patient who says, ‘I'm not feeling better, what should I try next,'” says Dr. David Putrino, director of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at Mount Sinai. It's also important to set expectations for patients who may think a few weeks of PT will resolve their issues, as is often the case with recovery from an injury. “What we're looking to do is reduce the number of flare-ups that happen, reduce the severity of those flare-ups, and ideally reach a point of symptom stability,” says Dr. Jenna Tosto, a leading expert in neurophysiological rehabilitation at Mount Sinai. To help patients understand the amount of progress happening, if any, host Dr. Raven Baxter, a long COVID patient herself, says keeping a daily journal and using fitness trackers can reveal important details. This expansive conversation includes valuable insights for patients and providers alike on breathwork, emotional regulation and other techniques to try during the search for improvement and recovery in complex chronic illnesses. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health SystemSteven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

Exercise is good for you, except in very specific cases when it isn't. One of the few examples, post-exertional malaise (PEM), is the subject of today's Raise the Line episode in our series on post-acute infection syndromes produced in collaboration with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mt. Sinai. “The key to understanding PEM is that it's not just fatigue. It's really the worsening of symptoms or the onset of new symptoms after exercise,” says Dr. Rob Wust of Vrije University Amsterdam.  His research group is one of several around the world now focused on this previously obscure phenomenon due to the prevalence of long COVID in which PEM is a nearly universal symptom. And while it's good news that this debilitating affliction is receiving new attention, no clear picture of causes and treatments has yet emerged. In terms of suspects, the body's energy suppliers, mitochondria, are a popular target, but while Wust's team and others attempt to unravel the mysteries of mitochondrial dysfunction, millions of patients suffering with PEM need strategies to avoid exhaustion. In that regard, Dr. David Putrino of the Cohen Center says patients and clinicians alike need to take all use of bodily energy into account, not just obvious activities such as walking. “The brain uses a lot of energy, so cognitive exertion will cause crashes. Emotional exertion will cause crashes and so will digestion and even sweating.” Join host Raven Baxter of the Cohen Center as she explores what can be done for patients as the race to find better diagnostics and treatments for PEM continues in some of the world's top scientific centers. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Long COVID Physio 

It's hard for many to believe a tick bite or case of COVID can lead to severe mental illness, but we'll be hearing from someone on this episode of Raise the Line who lived through just that experience. Dr. Raven Baxter also happens to be the host of this special series on post-acute infection syndromes produced in collaboration with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mt. Sinai. While struggling with long COVID, Raven developed panic attacks and other mental health problems, and even though she explained to providers that she previously had no history of mental illness, there was reluctance to attribute the symptoms to her body's reaction to SARS‑CoV‑2. Unfortunately, this is not surprising to Dr. Shannon Delaney, a psychiatrist whose patients share similar stories. “People who are going through this can be suffering a lot, not only because of their symptoms, but because of invalidation from the medical community,” says Delaney, who believes brain inflammation caused by immune system dysregulation can explain why mental health issues emerge in this context. While Raven's other guest, Dr. Mike VanElzakker, concurs, his research at Massachusetts General Hospital and the PolyBio Research Foundation focuses on the vagus nerve as a contributing factor to symptoms of various types. “I would argue at least part of what people with these complex chronic illnesses are experiencing is an ongoing sickness response and that may be because there is a signal that's constantly bombarding the vagus nerve, which may be sensitized by inflammation.” This is an eye-opening look at mind-body connections that are challenging conventional wisdom.  Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

Why do patients with long COVID have such a wide array of symptoms affecting so many bodily systems? That bedeviling question is the focus of this episode of Raise the Line featuring Dr. Resia Pretorius, head of the Department of Physiological Sciences at Stellenbosch University in South Africa and a renowned researcher in coagulation. “The underlying concept of what is happening, in our minds, is that long COVID is a widespread vascular endotheliitis, which is driven by the presence of all sorts of inflammatory molecules in circulation,” she tells host Dr. Raven Baxter of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE). Because endothelial cells line blood vessels that travel to every part of the body, their impairment produces a range of symptoms. Dr. Pretorius and her research colleagues have discovered that “microclots” – abnormal proteins that prevent clots from breaking down – are another ingredient in the long COVID recipe due to their possible role in reducing oxygen flow to the brain and other organs. Because of their unusual structure, microclots are not detected by customary blood tests, leading Dr. Pretorius to add her voice to the chorus of stakeholders calling for the development of new diagnostic tests and additional treatments. “We need a concerted effort for trials. We need FDA approval for the laboratory test that we developed. I'm confident we will get it done, but it will take time, which is sad.” Tune in to learn about the possible causes of microclots, promising research on anticoagulation therapy and why long COVID is not a “checklist” disease, as our special series on post-acute infection syndromes continues. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health SystemSteven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation

In a word cloud generated from this episode of Raise the Line, ‘communication' would dominate: communication between the immune system, nervous system and connective tissue; communication between patients and providers; and communication among providers to solve challenging diagnostic puzzles. As our special series on post-acute infection syndromes continues, host Raven Baxter of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) is joined by neurologist Dr. Ilene Ruhoy, immunologist Dr. Anne Maitland and physical therapist Dr. Valerie Iovine Rogers to unravel the interconnectedness at work in these diseases and reveal key insights about caring for patients. “In the complex disease world, there isn't a nice protocol that we have in other parts of medicine, so it takes a lot of listening and a lot of trial and error,” says Dr. Ruhoy. “The most important thing is to continue digging into that story and building that practitioner-patient relationship so that there's trust there,” adds Dr. Maitland. All agree that a lack of specialists in mast cell activation syndrome, hypermobility disorders and related areas puts a premium on developing referral networks so that diagnostic roadblocks do not end the search for answers. “It really harps on the importance of an interdisciplinary care team where all of us have to communicate with one another and educate the patient so they know what they're advocating for and where they need to go,” Dr. Rogers explains. Don't miss this instructive conversation on both the art of patient care and the science of these often debilitating illnesses. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

Diagnosing Post-Acute Infection Syndromes: Special Series from The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai“Tick-borne illnesses are incredibly stealthy and complicated and if I wasn't living and breathing it every day and seeing the intensity of these symptoms in patients, I would never believe it,” says Shannon Delaney, a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City. The complexity of such illnesses and the symptoms they cause is a key reason it can often take years to reach a diagnosis, which is the focus of this episode of Raise the Line, part of a special series on post-acute infection syndromes that Osmosis from Elsevier has created in partnership with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. In addition to Dr. Delaney, host Dr. Raven Baxter of CoRE welcomes Dr. Amy Kontorovich, an associate professor in Cardiology and Genomic Medicine at the Icahn School and Dr. David Putrino, director of Rehabilitation Innovation at Mount Sinai, to explore the limitations of current diagnostic tools and protocols and what changes are needed to improve patient care. Key themes include developing better tests for pathogens and educating providers to listen more carefully to patients. “In a typical medical encounter, the biggest dropped ball is completely disregarding an acute infection in the medical history,” stresses Putrino. All agree that providers need to be more comfortable with uncertainty and resist the urge to develop treatment plans that don't address root causes. “If more doctors could just say, ‘I don't know' I think it would do a great service to patients," adds Kontorovich. This is a candid and enlightening discussion about the importance of developing a collaborative, patient-centered mindset to provide the best care for those suffering with a range of post-acute infection syndromes.Mentioned in this episode: Mount Sinai Health SystemSteven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation
