Episode 215 - How to Get Out of an M.E/CFS Crash 26 Oct 2026

Crashed again? There are days during M.E/CFS recovery where that thought can suddenly appear: “What if I never get better?” Maybe you’ve been doing well. Then you have a setback. Symptoms increase. Something doesn’t go to plan. And suddenly all the belief you had disappears. If you’ve experienced that, my latest podcast is for you. I talk about something that I think is really important: You don’t have to feel completely confident about your recovery every single day. Doubt can show up. The question is what you do when it does. I unpack that in the new episode. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 214 - How to Let Go of Guilt & Shame With M.E/CFS 19 Oct 2026

Do you feel like a burden? There’s something people with M.E/CFS often carry quietly: Guilt. Guilt that you can’t do what you used to. Guilt that other people have to help you. Guilt about your partner. Your kids. Your family. And sometimes that turns into an even heavier thought: “I’m a burden.” I talk about this in my latest podcast. Not just the guilt itself — but why it can become so heavy during chronic illness and what you can start doing differently. If you’ve been beating yourself up because of everything you can’t currently do, I think you need to hear this one. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 212 - How to Overcome Fear & Anxiety During M.E/CFS Recovery 05 Oct 2026

What if I make myself worse? There’s a fear I hear constantly from people recovering from M.E/CFS: “What if I make myself worse?” You think about going somewhere. Doing a little more. Seeing someone. Trying something different. And your mind immediately starts running through everything that could go wrong. That can make it incredibly hard to trust yourself. In my latest podcast, I talk about fear and anxiety during recovery — why it can become so strong and how you can start rebuilding confidence in yourself again. If fear has been making your recovery feel smaller and smaller, I think this one will help. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 211 - How M.E/CFS Recovery Changes You as a Person 28 Sep 2026

Will you be the same person after M.E/CFS? Something interesting can start happening as you move through recovery. You don’t just notice changes in your body. You start noticing changes in yourself. Maybe you’re more present. Maybe little things mean more. Maybe you’re questioning what you actually want from your work, relationships or future. Maybe the life you desperately wanted back doesn’t even feel like the life you want anymore. I recently got a beautiful question from one of our members about exactly this: How do people change through M.E/CFS recovery? I answer it in my latest podcast. It’s a very different conversation about recovery and I think it’ll give you a lot to think about. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 210: How to Deal With Loneliness & Isolation With M.E/CFS 21 Sep 2026

The loneliness of M.E/CFS One of the hardest parts of M.E/CFS can be something nobody else sees. The loneliness. You can have people around you and still feel completely misunderstood. Or you might genuinely be doing most of this on your own. Either way, it can feel incredibly isolating. In my latest podcast, I talk about this side of M.E/CFS — including what to do when the people around you simply don’t understand what you’re going through. If you’ve been feeling alone in your recovery lately, I think this one will resonate. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 207 - What to Say When People Ask How You Are With M.E/CFS 31 Aug 2026

Tired of explaining how you feel? There’s one question that can become surprisingly exhausting when you have M.E/CFS: “How are you feeling?” Because it rarely feels like a simple question. Suddenly you’re explaining your symptoms. Why you could make it to something yesterday but can’t today. Why you might look fine even though you don’t feel fine. And by the end of the conversation, you’re exhausted from trying to make someone understand. In my latest podcast, I share a simple way to answer these questions without over-explaining yourself. Plus, how to set boundaries when friends or family keep giving you advice you didn’t ask for. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 206 - The 12 Levels of M.E/CFS Recovery 24 Aug 2026

What level of recovery are you in? Most people with M.E/CFS know whether they feel better or worse. But very few know what stage of recovery they’re actually in or what they should be focusing on next. Over the past 17 years, I’ve seen the same patterns show up again and again. So I’ve mapped them into 12 levels of recovery. From feeling completely sick, suffering and lost… To rebuilding your strength and confidence… To eventually moving beyond recovery and living your life again. In my latest podcast, I walk you through all 12 so you can see where you might be right now and what comes next. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Episode 204: How to Stop the M.E/CFS Identity Crisis Step by Step 09 Aug 2026

The M.E/CFS identity crisis no one talks about There’s a part of M.E/CFS that doesn’t get talked about enough. Losing your sense of who you are. Maybe you used to work, exercise, travel, socialise, look after your family, or simply get through a normal day without thinking twice. Then M.E/CFS came along and suddenly so much of that disappeared. And you can find yourself thinking: Who am I if I can’t be the person I used to be? That loss of identity can create an entirely different layer of suffering on top of the physical symptoms. In my latest podcast, I talk about why this happens, how constantly comparing yourself to your old life can affect recovery, and how to start building a future that gives you hope again.

Episode 184 - Finally: A Practical Guide to Recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 16 Mar 2026

This took 4 years to create When I went through chronic fatigue syndrome over two decades ago, recovery was incredibly isolating. There was no YouTube. No social media.

That’s why, for the past 16½ years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people recover. And it’s also why I wrote this book. In today’s podcast episode, I share what’s inside the book and the recovery frameworks it teaches. Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Are you scared of losing people? There’s a part of recovery that doesn’t get talked about enough. You want connection. You want to feel normal. You don’t want to miss out. But you also know that doing too much can set you back.

Episode 178: How to Stop Feeling Drained After Socialising 02 Feb 2026

Episode 177 - The Energy Trap That Keeps People Stuck 26 Jan 2026

What feels like energy is often adrenaline and that’s what keeps the push-crash cycle going.

If You’re Struggling With M.E/CFS, Read This When I was going through chronic fatigue syndrome over 20 years ago, I genuinely thought my life was over. I went from fit, healthy, and full of energy… to barely being able to lift my head off the pillow. What made it harder wasn’t just the symptoms.

In this week’s podcast, I share the things I wish I’d known back then — the things that would have saved me years of struggle, fear, and chasing the wrong answers. Not theory. Not trends.

Episode 175 - Mitch's M.E/CFS Recovery Story 12 Jan 2026

From Bedbound to Living Again: Mitch’s M.E/CFS Recovery Story A few years ago, Mitch was a fit, active teenager. Then his body started shutting down. Within weeks, he went from riding his bike to school… to ending up in hospital, terrified, wondering if he was dying. At his worst, making his bed felt like a massive achievement. The couch became his whole world. Noise, light, conversations - everything was too much. In this week’s podcast, Mitch shares his full story - honestly, calmly, and without sugar-coating it. Not just what it was like to be that unwell but what actually helped him move forward, step by step, until he got his life back. Today, Mitch is: running again working long shifts travelling living fully This episode isn’t about a miracle fix. It’s about fear, patience, timing, and learning how to move toward health instead of fighting symptoms. If you’re struggling right now, I think you’ll feel very seen by this conversation.

Episode 174 - The Recovery Trap That Keeps People Stuck With M.E/CFS 05 Jan 2026

The recovery trap that keeps people stuck with M.E/CFS One of the most frustrating parts of M.E./CFS recovery is doing all the right things… and still feeling like nothing is moving. You’re trying. You’re careful. You’re doing your best. And yet, progress feels stuck. In this week’s podcast, I talk about something I see all the time — what I call the recovery trap. It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of willpower. And it’s definitely not because you’re broken. It’s a very common pattern that quietly keeps people stuck often without them realising it. In the episode, I walk through: why acceptance isn’t giving up why chasing your old life can slow recovery and how doing the right things at the wrong time can keep the body in survival mode If you’ve been plateaued, pushing and crashing, or feeling confused about what to do next… this will likely resonate.

Episode 171 - From M.E/CFS to exercising again without P.E.M (Raff's Story) 15 Dec 2025

What real M.E/CFS progress actually looks like Before joining CFS Health, Raff was spending around 22 hours a day resting. Getting dressed. Eating meals. Holding her head up. All of it took everything she had. She lived with constant dizziness, tinnitus, light and noise sensitivity, and severe brain fog. Even a one-minute walk could wipe her out for days. Like so many people with M.E/CFS, she was doing everything carefully but still not getting better. Today, things look very different.

Episode 168 - What Doctors Get Wrong About M.E/CFS 24 Nov 2025

Please don’t believe this… If you’ve ever heard things like: “Everyone gets tired.” “It’s all in your head.” “You just need to exercise more.” My heart goes out to you - because comments like these can stay with you for years. In this week’s episode, I break down the six biggest myths doctors still tell people with M.E/CFS… the same myths that leave so many feeling misunderstood, dismissed, and completely alone.

This episode will help you understand what’s actually true and what’s absolutely not, so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
