What REALLY causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

It's such a big question that I have been asked thousands of times over the past decade, and I'm sure it's one that you've been asked before too.

There's no one simple answer, so in our latest Podcast Episode I dive deep into what REALLY causes the debilitating condition of M.E/CFS?


Below is what I cover in this short video:

  • CFS is a complex, multi-faceted illness.
  • About 70% of cases are linked to prior viral infections (glandular fever, mono, etc.).
  • Physical and emotional stress, often with a virus, can trigger CFS.
  • Long COVID can evolve into CFS.
  • Environmental factors like stress, toxins, and past trauma contribute.
  • CFS affects the body, brain, immune system, and emotional well-being.
  • Misunderstanding and scepticism from society are common.
  • Recovery is possible; people of all ages and severity levels have reclaimed their health.
  • One significant challenge faced by individuals with CFS is the lack of understanding and belief from the outside world. Society sometimes dismisses CFS, attributing it to being "all in the head" or implying laziness, which is far from the truth. The emotional and spiritual aspects of a person are deeply impacted, leading to a sense of loss and mourning for their old life.

    I know you're going to find this episode incredibly helpful in understanding the causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, because the more we know about it, the more support there can be for those struggling with it.
