The Recovery Diaries with Rebecca Ellison

#10 Why Perfectionism Gets In The Way of Healing with Jo Foster (ME/CFS Nutritional Therapist)


Listen Later

After becoming really unwell with CFS/ME 8 years ago Jo transformed her life with nutrition, lifestyle changes and mindset shifts and is now fully recovered - living a full and happy life of wild swims, veg growing and adventures in nature.
Discovering the impact of the food we eat on our health led to a career change and she is now a registered Nutritional Therapist, working to help others understand and address the root causes of fatigue and guide them on the road to recovery.


We discuss:
Coming to terms with her ME/CFS diagnosis

Overcoming denial 

Being told by the NHS to “accept it”

Where to start on healing… 

Why plant based didn’t work for her genetics 

The power in functional testing 

The emotional rollercoaster of testing

Perfectionism 

Type A personality traits + how they can be detrimental 

“Achieving” in your healing journey

Listening and tuning into your body 

Her change in career to CNM

What is “full recovery?”

Wild swimming benefits
