Great interview. One of the best. I myself have pushed myself into low adrenal state (all symptoms show it) and after 7 months of all bloodtests and mri etc i finally realised that i need to remove stressors to start my recovery: work enviroment and mainly overtraining. I was until last week training 7x a week and alongside hardcore diet. All this stopped and lets see how long till i recover. I also read john sarno a lot and mind body connection is clear: cause is stress and relieve is stress removal
Agree, BUT after reading Sarno’s book, pushed myself through my back pain and cautiousness while XC and ended up with a spine fracture. My life is a wreck even two years later, still trying to heal.
@@jenniferroberts7581 so u had a real physical injury and ignored it. Thats stupid. Dr sarno only applies if you dont have any real injury and confirmed by tests etc
I wish in the UK we had more autonomy over what testing and treatment we receive. I'm glad he said we know our own bodies best, cause doctors can only get a snapshot idea of things from the short time you're there
100%. The NHS is woefully bad in this area and generally there’s a complete lack of interest in taking an experimental, risk-based approach to treatment.
In tje US we wish we had affordable baseline Healthcare. With the ability to purchase supplemental benefits that would cover more. I'm leaving California to pursue the tests and treatment the US insurance companies refuse to cover. It's cheaper and better. Most importantly I'm driving my own Healthcare even if I pay out of pocket.
The joys of centralization. It doesn't matter which doctor you consult, because there is only one opinion - that spat out by the algorithm designed by the Department of Health and Social Care, usually paracetamol.
Raelan you are my RECOVERY GURU! I cannot thank you ENOUGH and I loooooved this interview so much. Those of us living with ME/CFS absolutely NEED to hear “You are smart enough “ and “Have faith. You can get better.” Wow. That alone made me want to cry. I have a medical appointment tomorrow and I will be approaching it with equanimity and confidence with my own stake in the ground. Thank you for the COURAGE, compassion, commitment and love that you lead with. We need you, truly. You guide us back to ourselves. ❤
Raelan, my brother is also doing the carnivore diet and he is doin amazing! ❤ very interesting i think. Love to you and thank you for the interview 🙏🫶🙏
I live in Arizona and despite the dry climate it is very common to have homes contaminated by mold and mycotoxins. This due to water damage or leaks inside the home. Many in this area, including myself, have had serious issues with mold illness. Otherwise, great interview.
Unfortunately, no one knows their normal numbers, and there aren't doctors that can help us understand them, so we can't get tests and go in and advocate with the numbers.
What you speak to about slipping back into symptoms is more easily triggered and “recovery” often is diligent and dedicated “management of a more fragile system” vs just living life as previously lived as though it can’t or won’t happen. So when most claim recovered it is an altered lifestyle vs a bounce back to what was.
With respect to long covid and antihistamines, benedryl helps me get sleep and calms my nervous system back down in between exercise sessions. Is this approach okay or do I need to fully feel the symptoms in between exercise sessions before starting the next workout?
The one good thing about covid if you can call it that is research into cifs which was going at a crawl is now very much in the spotlight due to long covid being so silmar.
This interview is sad because I thought it was possible to fully recover from long covid/cfs however it seems that he still very limited in what he can do in life. Good interview though a little depressing
Ryan, I checked into this video, saw your comment, and wanted to reply. I am so, so sorry to hear that this is what you heard. I'm not remotely limited, and haven't felt better. Allow me me clarify: At 60 I'm a hard-core rock climber, mountain biker and extreme skier. My brain works great, and I am able to be very productive in my work and relationships. These activities aren't stressful to me; they're what I live for. But that said, I am able to do all of this because I am prioritizing sleep, diet, and the creation of a positive environment around me. I can feel that my stress threshold has been lowered over the years, and when I feel that creeping tightness in my chest, the shorter breaths, or the impending tingling of anxiety, I acknowledge it, identify the trigger, and take steps to get remedy it. I want to encourage you that you can get better. You can do it! I can do all of these activities, and feel great, because I've optimized my biology and environment-- but I've have learned to recognize the emotional triggers that set me back. I never had long Covid. We are still seeing the fallout from the Covid years, and learning how the virus affects us long term. My fatigue resulted from adrenal dysfunction secondary to stress. In my professional opinion, this is one of the most common etiologies of CFS. If you'd like, track me down with the links above and we can discuss this further. Be well. SAR
I took it as being careful not to overdo it/anything. So many people come down with these illnesses due to overdoing it... more than the average person. For instance, I have to live a balanced life now, instead of living on high drive like I used to. I don't consider it limited, but how it always should have been.
I took it to mean if you return to the behaviours that made you ill, then it’s logical to expect the same outcome. I have recovered, but my life is much different.. but better and balanced.
This was also a bit depressing for me, but over the last few months I have realized that for most of us, something in our lives was making us sick. So in the case you want to go back to living your old life, you might have some limits. Ideally, you see this as an opportunity to direct you life in a new, better, balanced way.

Well said, I agree!! 💛🇨🇦
❤😊
Someone eating porterhouse steak for 5 years could feel terrific! Carnivore or meat based diet is very suitable for many.
What a brilliant interview! Thank you so very much Raelan and Dr Resnick!
Impossible to remove all stress in today's world.😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Keep doing these kind of interviews Realan.We love you both❤.Thank you so much,it helps.
Raelan, my brother is also doing the carnivore diet and he is doin amazing! ❤ very interesting i think. Love to you and thank you for the interview 🙏🫶🙏
Great interview. I would like him to be my doctor. His attitude is so refreshing.
One of the best interview, awesome info... Thanks to both of you..

Awesome info and perspectives - thank you!!
Unfortunately, no one knows their normal numbers, and there aren't doctors that can help us understand them, so we can't get tests and go in and advocate with the numbers.
Excellent interview!
Love your voice. Love your work.

Very good interview

Would love to have you on my channel for an interview if you're interested
7:50 after recovery
So basically you can still live youre life doing what you want raelen but not with the same stress you had before that lead you to being sick
The one good thing about covid if you can call it that is research into cifs which was going at a crawl is now very much in the spotlight due to long covid being so silmar.
NFH ? Bio K?
Sorry I don't agree with this guy. Other people have fully and completely recovered, as shown so often on this channel.
It depends on the person and what treatment you had. A lot of people fully recover without limits.
Lol, if someone ate nothing but porter house steaks for 5 years, they would the most ideal healthy person out there 😂😂😂🙄
My 4 x saliva cortisol test is high not low 😵💫 but i do have 2 kids 😂
