A Friendly Request from Liz: Guests on my channel are for inspiration and nothing shared is medical advice. Guests are not intended for troubleshooting urgent matters over social media or email. Please consult a trusted health provider if you are in any type of distress.
Guests often love hearing gratitude for their story, but please be considerate if reaching out in terms of the content shared, length of the message, and the amount and type of follow-up questions and be mindful of a person’s time, privacy, and emotional bandwidth. If you are seeking help from a guest who is a practitioner, or a practitioner whom a guest mentions, please do not send multiple urgent emails and then cancel or no-show without compensating the person in some way. This is much appreciated and is not about anyone in particular. Also, all is good if you’ve done this before, just asking for the future.
Sending my encouragement and support! For more inspiring stories and ME/CFS recovery resources go to healwithliz.com.

Oh I remember she was in my Cohort at CFS school. So nice to see she is thriving again!❤️ I have recovered from CFS too 🤗

[@poppywildman5717]

Oh wow yes I remember too! I'm so glad you've recovered too Miriam😊🎉❤

[@TheDeafNomad.]

I'm really stoked for these shorter interviews. 😊

[@budomove]

I’ve watched dozens of your recovery videos, and love them. I had been taking a break from them recently, but these new short recovery vids are awesome, and will def start watching them again. No need to even use time stamp to get to the meat and potatoes of what worked. Love it, thanks so much Liz! 🙏🏽

[@breatheandhealwithdee]

❤❤❤❤ Look at you absolutely shining poppy. So incredible to see, after starting our cohurt together and seeing you barely being able to lift your head of the pillow in the first call to now, you are absolutely glowing. So inspirational. ❤❤

[@poppywildman5717]

Thank you for having me on your channel Liz! You've been a ray of hope throughout my healing journey, and I found my missing piece through an interview on your channel, so felt really special to get to share my story with you and your followers!😊❤️

[@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach]

Oh Poppy, you are such a ray of light!! I love seeing how you're continuing to thrive! It was an utter joy to watch you blossom in my Be Your Own Medicine course. Working for the forest school sounds so perfect for you! And thank you Liz for sharing Poppy's inspiring story in this visual way! Love to you both!💞

[@poppywildman5717]

Aw lovely to hear from you Rebecca!!🥰 always so thankful for you for sharing your story, can't imagine what my life would look like if I hadn't found your interview, and of course your brilliant course!💞💞🌟🌟

[@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach]

@@poppywildman5717 Oh Poppy, you hold such a dear place in my heart! I've been meaning to catch up to see how you're doing since you took my course a year ago. I'm launching a live cohort now but will be in touch after that. Keep shining and doing what you love! You truly make my "work" a joy and you are an inspiration to many others now too! I didn't realize you found my recovery story on Heal with Liz. I love her and her work!🌳💚

[@poppywildman5717]

Aw that's so sweet!! Your work is so life-changing and magical - I hope everything goes well with the latest cohort of your course. It's been such an amazing year since I completed it last autumn! Looking forward to hearing from you when you're all finished with that🥰🌟

[@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach]

[@suzie1130]

Loving these shorter videos. My brain can handle them much better :)

[@idragonfly]

Happy for you Poppy! 👍

[@poppywildman5717]

Thank you!😊

[@suzie1130]

Congratulations Poppy. You are so inspiring!!!

[@poppywildman5717]

Thank you!😊

[@Candiedclouds]

Congrats on your recovery 😊🩷 Thank you Liz for putting these videos together! You have no idea how much hope these give me 😁

[@poppywildman5717]

Thank you for watching😊 good luck with your journey, you've got this!

[@Candiedclouds]

@@poppywildman5717 hey Poppy, when you got that “ah ha” moment and started to expand energy, was it met with resistance from the brain? Was it sending symptoms and what helped you get through those times? Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story 🩵🩵☺️

[@mariak9434]

Thank you for sharing 💖 I’ve tried some brain training, would you mind if I ask what makes this brain training different?

[@dariam4246]

Thank you! Did Poppy take Rebecca Tolin’s Be Your Own Medicine Course?

[@HealwithLiz]

Yes, Poppy did Jen & Karden's CFS School then Rebecca Tolin's Be Your Own Medicine. :-) Many of us did multiple programs to heal, because each presents things in a unique way. I provide detailed descriptions and participant insights in the independent Programs Guide I made with Lindsay Vine. Rebecca's latest live cohort just started and Jen & Karden have a major update coming.

[@lessons9745]

Too short... I like a little more substance . I am thrilled she feels better though!

[@poppywildman5717]

I'd love to do a longer one at some point too, especially if people have more questions! Was hard to fit everything I wanted to say in such a short time, although I personally generally prefer the shorter ones (short attention span😂). Thanks for watching though!❤

[@zeusthegreek4664]

How do you stop or mitigate getting symptoms during a sleep cycle. I can feel my body warming up, and bam I wake up fatigued and with sore muscles. Do you know of a strategy to stop this or minimize it.

[@Truerealism747]

Do your muscles hurt everyday

[@santeenl]

'She's now thriving'. Is she like lifting and going on vacation and moving around and everything?

[@poppywildman5717]

I mean I have no interest in lifting if you mean in the gym sense😂 but I do go on vacation all the time and move around however I want!💞💞

[@santeenl]

@@poppywildman5717 That is so amazing! I'm in burnout recovery, slowly I'm finding out that my symptoms are like the same as most with LC, CFS, AFS etc. It's all kinda the same, I'm about 70% functional again, I went on vacation to London 3 weeks ago and try to do some sports, but my energy is still a bit low and I can have brain fog etc.

[@germanside7890]

[@monnmar1]

amazing amazing - may i ask - have you come across anyone who has healed from a vaccine injury - this is my current story
