There are some schools of thought that suggest poorly functioning adrenal glands could be an underlying cause in chronic fatigue. Although imbalanced adrenal function could be part of the complex web of fatigue, it is more likely to be a piece of the puzzle than the whole puzzle itself.  That being said, when it comes to recovering energy and vitality, there is seldom one magic solution. Instead, improvements happen when we support the body as a whole. Part of that support may include supporting the adrenal glands. In this latest episode of the Chronic Fatigue and Burnout Recovery Podcast Anna talks about adrenal function, how to identify dysfunction with testing and symptoms and most importantly how to support both high and low adrenal output.  Website: http://annamarsh.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_marsh_nutrition/ 1-1 Support: https://annamarsh.co.uk/1-1/ Nervous System Work: https://annamarsh.co.uk/workshop/ Join the Nurturing Resilience Subscription: https://annamarsh.co.uk/nurturing-resilience/ Electrolytes: https://getrepowr.co.uk/discount/ANNAMARSH Adrenal AM Supplement: https://trueperformance-supplements.co.uk/supplement/adrenal-am/ Adaptocrine: https://www.amritanutrition.co.uk/products/adaptocrine-xl-k-124-120-capsules (practitioner code 9C5WFV)

Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are a class of medications originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but have since gained widespread attention for their effects on weight loss and metabolic health. Emerging research suggests that GLP1-Receptor Agonists could be supportive in managing inflammatory symptoms associated with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Although research is currently limited, Anna talks about what we know so far and her experience with clients taking these drugs in clinical practice.  Website: http://annamarsh.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_marsh_nutrition/ Research Paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002962925011061 Take the Fatigue Recovery Quiz: https://app.annamarsh.co.uk/quiz New Nurturing Resilience Membership: https://annamarsh.co.uk/nurturing-resilience/

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex and often misunderstood condition that leaves many people struggling with persistent exhaustion, brain fog, and muscle aches. Although there are multiple different factors that contribute to symptoms and every case is different, diet can play a significant role in symptom management.  There are many different dietary approaches and different things will work for different people depending on the mechanisms contributing to their specific case. One dietary component that has gained attention in this context is oxalates—naturally occurring compounds found in many healthy foods such as spinach, nuts, and berries. For some individuals with chronic fatigue, high oxalate consumption could potentially contribute to and worsen symptoms.  In this episode Anna explores the relationship between oxalates and chronic fatigue, possible causes of oxalate intolerance, and how adjusting oxalate intake might help alleviate some of the challenging symptoms of this condition.
