Today I’m delighted to be joined by Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, a licensed Naturopathic Physician with over 20 years of experience helping people recover from long COVID and ME/CFS-related fatigue.

Having overcome chronic fatigue herself (twice!), Dr. Jenny developed a powerful, root-cause approach that blends Functional Medicine with subconscious healing to restore energy and vitality. Her signature system focuses on five key root causes of fatigue, combined with foundational lifestyle shifts that support the body, mind, and spirit.
