How to Stabilize Your Energy Levels with CFS: Mastering Baseline | Dr. Olivia Lesslar

[@sparrowbella4209]

I've been doing this somewhat on my own already but so good to hear more in-depth information here thank you so much! God's blessings be upon you all 🙏❤️

Thank you for the reminder of getting back to baseline. I’m currently in the valley of death and I’m seriously surprised to be here. I was doing remarkably well. Back to walking 1-1.5 miles daily. Now I feel awful again and I’m climbing out slowly with lots of pacing.

I push and crash all the time and have done for years. What you say makes sense, but it's getting myself out of a mentallity, a way of being to discipline myself even to do small and often

[@Jamie5633]

Yes and rest when you feel you should do more Fill your tank to 3/4 and stay on that not 1/4 then run down to empty I relate but it’s so important to slow down

[@jenniferfoster2200]

Yeah me too

[@ChrisTownsend-v7i]

I found i had to develop a kind of gauge system internally for myself, like in a big machine,- that i could check to see if all systems are go or not, before i could do things - do i have enuf energy to do this or not? It took me a long time to build this (as i was not terribly body-aware) but it very much increased my self-sensitivity, so i crashed much less often. Eventually, i was able to do this inner scan much faster, much more intuitively. But it took me years.

Thank you thank you thank you!❤❤❤🙏💜💚💙

This is really eye opening, I always wondered why fasting never seemed to work for me and I push and crash all the time too!

I love the cave analogy, I feel like it will be useful when I get to that point of questioning and struggling over why my body is feeling/reacting this way and hopefully keep my mind from spiraling into a depression or hopelessness about this condition. I had to consistently tell my myself over the period of 2 years ( with really no support/understanding of this condition ) that I just need to rest , instinctually it was what I knew I needed to do. Finding the " sweet spot " and asking for support is now the goal. Thank you

Great video! I saw the ME/CFS team through the NHS and they talked about quite a few of these things, but I didn’t feel they emphasised the importance of not doing ‘less is more’ for too long. Thank you 👍

[@CFSHealth]

Glad it was helpful!

[@moiramilne878]

Hi could you tell me where there is an NHS ME/CFS team? Didn’t know there was such a thing. Thanks

[@fezzer65]

@@moiramilne878 it would depend on your locality. Not all NHS boards will have a dedicated team for ME/CFS unfortunately

[@valerieodonovan9710]

Thank you Toby and Dr Olivia. Great video! 😊♥️

[@CFSHealth]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for your videos ! It really helps cause here in France it's very tough to find help and answers.. I have a question: Do you know why exactly after a workout during the day, when we didn't really feel exhausted, we still have a night crash with insomnia? It's really frustrating.

[@lambeth94]

I’ve been ill for 6-8 years, was fairly good-ish for the last 4 but have randomly launched in to a big confusing crash. It’s hard to accept and move on through even tho I know that’s what I have to do… BUT I think what has been said so far.. - the cave is the safest place & your brain body is trying to force you to hibernate to heal - each crash will retrigger your nervous system 😮😱😵 & living in a way that does not trigger more crashes is like giving your nervous system a hug, are some of the most mind blowing yet such simple concepts I have ever heard.. This makes it all make sense, even all the crappy crap you don’t want to to be true, like having no goddamn life, aching all over & showering & shuffling about is the extent of your points usage! It makes it so much easier for someone that doesn’t want to accept no life as your only life - to see what needs to be done and accepted in a peaceful and calm way, as loving yourself better & understanding how & why to do it - not fighting against it all & the pain and UNFAIRNESS!! Thank you, it’s genius

[@deborahrainey4810]

Thank you. This makes so much sense the more i listen to it. Does the program teach you how to find a baseline? Can you do baseline if working full or part time ? The working day demands vary so much. I have been crashing and pushing for 3 years since got covid. Thank you

[@Yentl-gx2cm]

Amazing explanations! Really helpful! Hopefully I can find my baseline soon..

[@CFSHealth]

You can do it!

[@jirihutecka9020]

For me PC games ruined my adrenals + crazy long bike rides. So unfortunate that I realized this after so many years of ruining my health.. Same with diet. I was doing great on 6 smaller meals a day during my bodybuilding days. My blood sugar was stable and I was not forcing rise in stress hormones. Bul last years I tried fasting for days, IF, 2 meals a day etc.. Now knowing all this no more stress from chronic aerobic exercise, PC games and eating at least 4 meals a day so I am not stressing my adrenals chronically..

[@estherzwaan9928]

Thank you so much for sharing all this helpful information! Pushing and crashing has been one of the biggest things that kept me from recovering for many years, and learning how to tackle that contributes a great deal to restoring my hope for the future.

[@JacquiQ]

Can you 'fix' Histamine Intolerance with CFS Health programme ?? I am having awful time with this at the mo. Thx ! The more I start to move the more I get muscle pain :(

[@lucillestack474]

Wow what a great video I've been crashing and burning for many years too, with highs and lows more lows than highs now. only the last couple years I've been paying attention more to the signs cuz my body makes me. lol This makes so much sense and I've known this for a long time it's just putting it to practice I guess the universe is telling me it's time.🙄
