I used to think: Once I "healed" my chronic fatigue, fixed my gut, got rid of my Lyme disease, and had perfect sleep, THEN, and only then, I would be free to start enjoying my life.

But here's the thing: waiting to live my life actually kept postponing the vibrancy I desperately craved. My symptoms got louder. I tried harder to heal, became more strict with my diet and protocols...and I felt increasingly worse as time went on.

It doesn't have to be this way. Here's why living your life and letting the good populate your experience actually SPEEDS UP and allows for healing.

Nervous system regulation is so trendy these days. There are so many hacks, programs, courses, memberships, and influencers talking about it... and rightfully so! Having a regulated nervous system changes the way our bodies function, how we perceive the world, how we think, feel, act, digest, create, interact with others, and even our internal self-talk.

Yet for so many, feeling "regulated" or having the skills to "self-regulate" feels like something you might see on instagram but can't actually integrate into real day-to-day life.

...Which is why I want to talk more about some of the SIMPLEST and most effective ways I've found to shift out of constant panic + hypervigilance to find moments of peace, calm, openness, curiosity, and SAFETY.

I'm delighted to share this episode with Patrick Ussher.

Patrick is an Irish ME/CFS patient, ill seven years. Initially he was more severely ill, including with life-threatening symptoms but, in the last three years, he has become more functional, sharing the research, protocols and strategies he's finding helpful in mitigating the symptoms. Patrick is robustly active in his advocacy work for ME/CFS, and has written a profoundly helpful book: "Understand ME/CFS & Strategies for Healing."
