What We Discuss In This Episode

Jenny specializes in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) - a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms. The most common symptom is extreme tiredness. CFS is also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). Many people with conditions like CFS/ME will tell you it goes well beyond burnout and exhaustion. Dr. Jenny has personal experience of struggling with this condition and shares her own journey.

We talk about how western medicine views and treats this type of illness versus  how the functional medicine and naturopathic doctors view and treat this illness.

Since this is a very complex condition, Dr. Jenny shares the ONE Thing she feels our listeners can do to boost their energy no matter if they are really exhausted or feeling well. We discuss how and when we eat can impact our energy and what we can do – especially for those who are exhausted? Dr. Jenny also discusses some of the best ways for people to find the answers they need when they are struggling with chronic fatigue.
