Stability is the foundation of healing. As humans we are self-organising, self-healing human beings. Yet, in chronic illness the body has become increasingly disorganised and increasingly unstable over time as a consequence of having to cope with multiple and ongoing stressors of life. In this podcast Anna talks about the disorganisation in a “syndromal system” and how we can support the body to become more stable and organised again. This podcast will help you reflect on where you are in your journey and areas of your life that you can prioritise to support greater stability in your chronic illness and/or fatigue recovery journey.  Useful links: Website: http://annamarsh.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_marsh_nutrition/ Apply for 1-1 Support: https://annamarsh.co.uk/1-1/ Nurturing Resilience Workshop: https://annamarsh.co.uk/nurturing-resilience-special/ Nervous System Workshop: https://annamarsh.co.uk/workshop/ Blood Sugar Mini Course: https://annamarsh.co.uk/courses/
