- Chris shares his 4-year recovery journey from moderate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E.
After struggling to walk 5 minutes on a typical day with CFS, Chris is back to playing Aussie rules football, working full-time as a teacher, and living life with renewed purpose.
Chris talks about the challenges during his journey, the things he tried that didn't work, and he things he tried that did.
He shares the Ayurvedic principles that helped him heal his gut, his experience with Western and Eastern medicine, mediation techniques (it's not trying to think nothing!), discusses how he improved his sleep, cold-water therapy, and much more. He talks about his upward trajectory when the pieces came together. He also shares encouraging words of wisdom for others on their healing journey.
You can read his written recovery story here, which goes into more detail of each aspect of how he healed:

*Happy Update*: Chris completed the marathon he was training for (he finished in under 4 hours!). After the school term ended, he is now starting to coach others! You can reach Chris at his new Instagram handle @healingwithrocdoc38 about coaching. I also included a link in the description to his full written story and to his new coaching website. What a great guy!
Did u suffered from pots
So happy to hear he reached his goal :-) I can't imagine how amazing that felt! Well done Chris xx
@@becoming_a_betty Yesss! Chris actually got me a tank top, which in Australia they call singlets I learned, from his race. All the way across the ocean (I'm in California). Sooo proud of him!!
@@HealwithLiz That's so sweet! ☺️ You can think of him each time you rock your singlet! xx
Seeing Liz’s smile every day should be part of everyones recovery!! Thanks Liz
Fking legendary interview. No fluff in true Aussie fashion. Good on you Chris. I'm doing very similar things and hope I can be a real dad again soon. Thank u so much liz
If you watch until the end, you'll see a Pie Chart I made of Chris' recovery :).
Dr Gabor Mate is about dysfunctional childhood/trauma causes disease resulting in disconnection from self (going through the motions) comes down to learning about our childhoods, our parents how did it effect me and choices I made that may have got me here. Where do feelings of shame, fear, low self worth, self sabotage, people pleasing etc. heal our past heals the body. We are what we believe and it is also about surrender too it’s a balance and spirituality is important too. I will never get back to where I was but who is to say that was the best way. I am far more grateful, content, present, and kinder to myself which brings great peace.
What a guy! Thanks so much, so informative and very inspiring. I’m going to channel Chris on my recovery
We need more of this and less of these CFS “Guru’s”
Thank you Liz and Chris for taking time to offer this discussion on recovery, much appreciated.
Thanks Blake, your kind words are much appreciated! ❤️
Loved this video, so inspiring! It's given me some motivation and positivity to keep pushing forward. Thank you Liz and Chris. Xxx
I loved, loved, loved this video and recovery story! I love your channel and all of your content, Liz. Sometimes it’s the place I need to go. Thank you. Chris, this was so helpful. Thank you for talking with Liz about your experience and how you healed. You discussed in a way that was so helpful and not vague. Thanks for the details. Thanks you two. 🙏
Your comment made my morning, I am so grateful for your kind words, and glad you enjoyed our chat! ❤️❤️❤️
Wait I’ve seen the guy on Cfs health with Toby Morrison too
Thanks Chris for the testimony as I try to make my recovery/ comeback!
What an absolute Dude! I loved this 💕 Such an inspiring story, thank you both so much. xx
He is such the dude!!! That you soo much for your comment, I shared it with Chris and it made his day. 🙏
@@HealwithLiz Ah that's amazing, thank you for sharing it with him Liz. I'm so glad he knows how appreciated it is that he shared his story. Such a genuine and amazing guy xx
I've been going through this after covid. I trained 5 days a week and was athlete, now I can get through a full day's work after months of recovery, but still haven't been able to go back to training
Thanks for your comment Benny. Sending you my support. I have a recovery story from another athlete (long distance trainer) coming soon. Some of her key things was stopping fighting her body, acceptance, finding the meaning/purpose of what it was trying to teach her, and work to calm the nervous system to increase resilience (I can't do it justice in a quick RUclips comment). Like Chris, she found Wim Hoff breathing and cold water immersion helpful. I hope you found Chris' story helpful. In written interview I link to in the RUclips description, Chris breaks down more of his specific movement strategy. You may want to check out Luke's LC recovery story featuring Pamela Rose on Raelan's channel, if you haven't seen it, in case it's useful. I think factoring in mental stimulation also can help, too, in my experience -- and factoring in brain emptying time as Pamela calls it. You'll be even stronger one day physically and mentally because of what you learned from this setback.
@@HealwithLiz I can't thank you enough for such a positive message! Thank you thank you thank you.
I am trying to stay as positive as possible. For me training was my therapy, so now I've really had to turn inwards and address my inner problems. I'm sure I'll come out the other side eventually.
I will definitely check out the other episodes. 🙏🏻
Such an inspirational story, Chris! Great video, thanks!
I go to a duck pond and I sit down and meditate 20 minutes and walk around again I found that this exercise for me it's quite awesome he keeps me going yesterday I had a hard day went to the casino for my birthday and then I crashed
Happy Birthday Nate. I love that you visit the duck pond and meditate. I used to do that in a nearby flower garden.
lovely interview -- thanks to both of you
I find alcohol, even one glass of wine or one beer to be a surefire trigger for a crash. Neurotoxin. I’ve found mushrooms of all types, medicinal, gourmet and magic, micro dosing, to be extremely beneficial
I wish I knew where to get some.
Can you tell us what type of meditation he was doing? Like just regular mindfulness?
You can reach out to Chris through Instagram @healingwithrocdoc38 or his website linked in the description -- he's an awesome dude.
Is this Channel only for Storys or also for help to get cured?
What is the diet name?
Did he had pots
