In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Evan Hirsch (the Energy MD), who has helped thousands recover from Long Covid and ME/CFS. The conversation raises some fascinating points: how Long Covid can be understood as ME/CFS with a different viral trigger; how the nervous system and mitochondria are not 'dysfunctional' but highly functional, intelligent and communicative. Evan covers the 5 main causes of complex fatigue conditions, and the conversation moves through the difference between nervous system retraining as a 'necessary' and 'sufficient' condition for healing; the difference between recovery and healing and the invitational nature of meeting discomfort with curiosity and openness.

This is a rich, thoughtful conversation, full of wisdom and insight. We hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Jana Norman, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Deakin University, Australia. Jana has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years, as well as, more recently, Long Covid. 

In this conversation Anna and Jana explore the role of the body, and of materiality itself, as way of receiving the wisdom of evolutionary intelligence at work in the body and the world. Their conversation covers the lived, bodily experience of fatigue; the exciting science of cellular intelligence; and spirituality in 'coming home' to body and self so key to healing. 

Expect a rich, explorative journey through important dimensions of being human that are all too rarely touched in conversations about fatigue and healing.

In this bonus episode of the Fatigue Files podcast, you will travel (if you wish) through the four dwellings of ultimate love, leaving, at the end, with a felt-sense of commitment to the practice of dwelling in love, compassion, joy and equanimity. 

Simply rest back, and let yourself be taken on the journey. Please don't listen while driving or using any kind of machinery. You may well experience an altered state or a trance state. You might not, equally. It really doesn't matter. Just let your imagination play, and your unconscious processes will do the rest.

With love, always, Anna

A special bonus episode marking a gap between Season 1 and Season 2 of the Fatigue Files podcast.  This is a hypnotic journey into a world of healing possibilities, drawing on imagination and suggestion. It elicits a sense of connection with a deeper sense of agency, inviting you into a more expansive sense of self, one who can co-construct your own experience. 

Listen with headphones on. Take the volume to a level where you are comfortable with the voice. Please don't use machinery or drive while listening to this recording. 

This recording is part of the Healing Transformation Blueprint program online materials, where it appears in three formats, one of which has binaural beats. This one doesn't have the beats. A version of this  will also be included in an app, currently in development, called Transformation, along with some longer, more multi-layered and crafted hypnotic journeys into lands of imagination. These will include a 'journey to the 13th Chakra', 'Four Immeasurable Minds' and more besides.

In this episode, Anna reflects on the importance of understanding the centrality of the body as a sensing, capable field of aliveness and a highly evolved, highly  intelligent field of meaning-making.  She explores the Western myth of the body-mind split and challenges the sense in which some approaches to healing are almost echoes, no matter how well-meaning, of that older mythic structure.  Is it time, she wonders, to drop the idea of a 'hyphenation' in bodymind and to move towards a much more entangled, dynamic sense of embodiment, the unconscious, and embodied knowing. Anna presents her reflections as an invitation to an ongoing conversation, perhaps overdue, in the healing community, about the need truly to value, appreciate and learn from the body as an intelligent community of intelligences, rather than to conceptualise it as predominantly being the lesser part of a hyphenated mind-body 'connection'.

Having been diagnosed with CFS in 2012, Shaun Moran recovered using various layers of health optimisation science-based approaches.  Shaun now works as a health and recovery coach and offers a program called the 'CFS-Free Recovery Program'.

In this conversation, Shaun and Anna explore some (but not all) of the layers of health optimisation based in a fundamental respect for the evolutionary biology of the body and the science-led approach that draws on it. The health paradigm that Shaun and Anna lay out here together respects the human organism as a complex system of highly evolved intelligences, and the health approaches they discuss boil down to some very accessible, fundamental basics of wellbeing.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Matilda Arvidsson. Matilda recounts her deep journey back from a desperate situation of deep fatigue, trauma and isolation. She had been, at one point, taken to the very edge of her sense of wanting to 'continue as a being'. Her journey back to life centrally involved plants as companions or kin in a relationship of 'being together'. The sheer life force of her plants, Matilda recounts, drew her back into life itself again. This is rich, intriguing conversation invites a refreshing appreciation of how healing our relationship with non-humans can be on our own way 'home' to ourselves. 

Matilda is Associate Professor (docent) in International Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
