Episode 133: Burnout Vs Chronic Fatigue: Are they different or the same thing?

Recently someone asked me if they thought there was a connection between being an empath and Chronic Fatigue. My answer: Absolutely! In this episode we unpack why. We talk about what it means to be an empath and importantly, how many of the qualities of being an empath could actually be learned survival patterns of the nervous system. We may still be sensitive, but we can learn to regulate through our sensitivity to live a beautiful  and energised life!

Travel can have pro’s and con’s when you have a chronic illness like Chronic Fatigue. Travel can be stressful, energy demanding and destabilising to a sensitive nervous system. However, travel can also take us out of our comfort zone in a healthy way and break stuck cycles of fear.  In this episode Anna talks about the pro’s and con’s of travel, how to titrate the experience of travel back into your life as you start to be in the world more, important things to consider when travelling, how to prepare before, recover afterwards and the bits in between.  Website: http://annamarsh.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_marsh_nutrition/ New Nurturing Resilience Membership: https://annamarsh.co.uk/nurturing-resilience/ Repowr Electrolytes: https://getrepowr.co.uk/ (Use the code ANNAMARSH)

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/
