- In this enlightening podcast, we delve into Carly's incredible journey of conquering Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) after a challenging 6-year battle. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and transformation. Prior to falling ill, Carly was a high-achiever and incredibly active, but the onset of CFS left her voiceless and confined to her couch.
Carly's path to recovery was far from linear. She tried various treatments without success and faced moments of hopelessness. It was only when she met Toby and embraced his holistic program that things took a dramatic turn for the better. Toby's teachings emphasized flexibility, fun, and letting go of the need to micromanage every aspect of her life.
A pivotal mindset shift for Carly was learning to release her fear and committing to progress every day, regardless of fatigue. She adopted small, consistent activities that helped her recondition her body without pushing beyond her limits. Carly now views CFS as a challenge that required rehabilitation, not a lifelong sentence.
Today, Carly has fully recovered and, along with a friend, founded a thriving swimwear business that has allowed her to explore the world. Her story is one of triumph over adversity and an inspiration for anyone dealing with CFS or seeking to overcome life's obstacles.

Comment below your biggest takeaway from Carly’s story!
Every movement is better than nothing.
Thank you Carlyand Toby. I've suffered for thirty yrs but as of today I feel like I will make it. I am in a community.
Wonderful! Glad it helped!
Any movement is better than no movement was my best intake:) I literally moved from the couch to the floor during the vid and started moving. as previous athlete i either go too hard too early, or just bored out of my mind and frustrated at the current possibilities. But just taking it easy with a light heart, not "trying", and letting some blood flow is real great:)
Glad it was helpful! Reach out to us if you’d like proper help with it though to stop the guess work!
Yea I feel you on this one cos I super active myself and it's the thing I seem to find hardest regards pacing cos I was really pretty stable this summer and was able to workout in the gym, which actually helped me out of chronic pain initially I felt my nervous system calming down then I started weight training like 4/5 days a wk cos that was my normal bk in the past n I pushed way too hard & ended up bk in bed. Which I'm recovering from now. Lol it's crazy. So now I'm pacing with movement 🤦🏽♀️ I know we can heal it's alot of commitment patience self love listening to the body. Wish u the best on Ur journey 🙏🏼
This was a great interview, I’m 25 and have been sick for 4 years. I’m going to join the course in the early new year, looking forward to it !
Possibly the best interview yet!
Carlys amazing!
Just move, some.
And expect to work to overcome deconditioning for quite a while, even after regaining energy.
I’m so glad I found this channel. As I hear people’s testimonies, I gain more and more hope that there is life after cfs. My goal right now is to focus on what I can control and let go of what I can’t.
Thank you for sharing ❤
I can really relate to other people telling me that "it's a life lesson" and how I'll become "better from what I learned" in a way where they almost expect me to be grateful for the life lesson. I'm still in at the point where no lesson will ever be worth all the things I've missed out on, as I've also been sick during most of my youth. It's a period in life you just can't get back.
Mind you, this has only been told to me by people who did not have chronic illness, were much older than me with no health issues in their youth and while I was not yet recovered. Not the people you want to hear something like that from and really not helpful at the time.
Just want to say... I hear you and I understand.... and I used to think like you too. I started experiencing Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at age 9. I am now 60. I pushed and crashed my way through being a teenager and going to school, pushed and crashed my way through a 4 year college/uni degree, pushed and crashed myself through a 9 year relationship that ended in no children and divorce because of my illnesses, pushed and crashed my way through a 10 year career that ended in 2 medical LOA's and eventually permanent (but considered temporary) disability. Yes... I have missed out on a lot. I've also pushed myself through some wonderful things. Not that I would recommend that approach, but I am grateful for going camping, skiing, and learning to ride a motorcycle. It was my divorce from my husband that helped me to see the silver lining. It took 10 years, but I see this as a gift. There are wonderful things I've learned about myself that I would never have discovered if I would have stayed with him. I was eventually able to leave "the victim" behind. I no longer focus on what I lost, what I missed out on, what I didn't get a chance to try.... because... I realized I still have 30-40 years of my life to live... and the more time I spend being a victim... the more time I am wasting when I can enjoy the life I have now... when I can start creating a life of health... doing the things I want. Even my only youthful regret.... has turned out to be a gift. Not having children. I missed being pregnant, holding my baby, raising an amazing child.... but the gift is that I now have all the time in the world to focus on me... and my recovery. No other commitments. I hope you can eventually find that sliver of joy in your day that will make you question... "What else is possible???" Sending you lots of love.❤
Is there somewhere to follow Carly? Hearing her say she gained weight and felt she needed food to give her energy, that really spoke to me.
We don’t give out our client information. I hope you enjoyed the interview.
@@CFSHealth I just meant like on youtube or something. I understand. I wouldn't ask for anything personal. I thought maybe she had a channel or something. Thanks!
This is me too Bonnie. Feeling like I need food for energy ....but yet eating (healthy whole foods) doesn't give me energy. So this past summer I stopped dieting as it was just creating stress. I thought I would gain a whole bunch of weight, but I am able to maintain within a 2lb range. I keep telling myself, that once my body is beginning to heal... the weight will come off. As well... when I start having more energy... I can start to incorporate activity... which will take care of the rest. I agree with Carly though. It's more so about the root of "why" you are eating. For me I discovered that it wasn't really to get energy .... it was to "not feel" (lonely, alone, misunderstood, unloved, not believed, not enough, not in control.)... and "to provide nurturing and comfort" ...(something that I didn't get as a child, didn’t get from an ex-husband, still don't get from parents.) So... this time I have while my body heals... is a good time to explore and be curious about why I approach eating the way I do and my beliefs around food. (Why am I punishing myself for having CFS/FM... by overeating?) Best wishes to you... sending you lots of love ♥ !
@@mycreativeheart4159 Thanks for your reply! Yes, comforting eating is a thing for me. I was told at age 16 I had reactive hypoglycemia. I've always eaten often, but in the past few years, it is getting worse and worse. When I'm eating well (how I want to eat), it is Whole food plant based with low fat and low sugar and low glycemic foods). I've had stomach pain for years and eating this way gives me no pain. I crave the bad processed food though when I feel that reactive hypoglycemia hunger. It's a struggle for sure. I wish you well also. I hope you have lots of good healing. Love to you too. Thanks! 💗
I think she ate for comfort not energy? Startt with eliminating junk food, sugar, and do low carbs! Maybe u need more protein, improve gut health with fermented food saurkraut, , kefir! Its a start, then look into brain re training it's All connected to a maladaptive nervous system! Wishing you well!
My best take from Carly's success story is that it can take a while to recover properly. I am a lot better but still suffer from PEM. I get frustrated that recovery is taking so long but it looks like I have to be patient. After 18 months on the program I had hoped to be further ahead. Maybe I've loosened the grip too much.
I'm in the program too.... it might be a case of "have not loosened the grip enough"? If you are still suffering from PEM... it sounds like you might still be overdoing it. Maybe not all the time... but every once in a while. Patience is hard to keep going consistently. I realized last week, that it's okay to test the boundaries of my baseline, but I have to keep checking in with my body... "what does it need right now?" And if it tells me to stop... I HAVE to stop. I then follow up with an energy-in activity to help restore any stress I might have unknowingly created. Sending you lots of love!❤ You got this!
I’m trying to retrain my body too quickly it seems. I need to do 80% of what I can do, not 100%.
How expensive is the programme
Is this an old upload?
Probably not. Toby has been doing this for 15 years or so. Carly said she worked with him 12 years ago. Toby has been recently gathering previous clients and doing interviews.... this shows that recovery through his program is not a "fad" but provides long term recovery success.❤
@@mycreativeheart4159 yea it's just that I remember seeing this video a few years ago
@@Itscliffbooth ahhh... I've only known about Toby and cfs health for a year... so yup... I'm probably wrong.👍
There do seem to be a lot of interviews with people who worked with Toby a lot of years ago. It would be more encouraging to hear from people who are involved with the current program.
@@vivscottow1269 there are more current videos, you'll have to check. Charlie's interview comes to mind. She is one of our mentors.
