Publisher's summary

Discover simple strategies and realistic advice on how to not just get by with chronic fatigue syndrome, but go on to live a life of thriving health after recovering!

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to enjoy a night out with friends again, without having to worry about "overdoing it"?

Do you find yourself making progress, feeling better, only to hit these ceilings in recovery that you just can't seem to break through?

Do you have a clear understanding of what you need to do in order to recover from CFS? Or are you free-styling recovery?

Recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome doesn't have to be so complicated.

Start making progress and gaining traction with these simple strategies. You'll be able to finally pick up momentum in your journey and start feeling the symptoms slowly go away, the energy come back, and get off the emotional roller coaster that this illness brings.

With this guide, you'll discover:

  • Why you're feeling the way you're feeling: Without understanding the mechanism behind where all your symptoms are coming from, there will always be an underlying fear. Mystery means not knowing, and not knowing leads to anxiety. In order to properly fix a problem, we need to first know what we're trying to fix.
  • How this all happened, and how to avoid it in the future: You'll understand that you most likely didn't just get "unlucky" and had this illness come at random. When you know what leads to CFS, you won't have to worry about "crashes" and "major relapses" in the near future because you will know exactly what to do and be equipped with the tools to recover.
  • The top three things to focus on during recovery: The mind-shift, properly dealing with symptoms, and building threshold are the keys to solving this once and for all. If you focus and execute on all three of these areas, it's almost impossible to not see any progress.
  • The most common mistakes to avoid: Awareness of what to do is important, but perhaps even more important is what not to do. Chances are you're making a lot of mistakes right now that can be easily fixed with small adjustments.
  • Three simple hacks to help your body feel more relaxed: I share some of the tools and strategies I used to help stimulate my parasympathetic system and transition out of sympathetic overdrive.

Avoid any progress plateaus physically, mentally, and emotionally with this book that will guide you through the journey of recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome so that you can get back to living life with thriving health!

Great

Miguel is SO smart and reassuring. This book is very easy to listen to and is the only book I have every slowed down instead of sped up the reader’s voice! The chapters and concise and short and there isn’t unnecessary extra fluff. Thanks, Miguel!

This book gave my life back

I was familiar with the brain retraining philosophy as a way to treat cfs, but never trully belied that somehow it is a solution to my problem.

This book is so simple and straight to the point that made me believe that Brain retraining is the cure. CFS is nothing more than HYPERSENSITIVE nervious system. And everything that I learnt about Brain retraining from different programs, suddenly all made perfect sense to me. I gave my trust to Brain retraining 100% and that was the turning point in my recovery.

The good news is that CFS is reversible and the great news is that with Brain retraining, pacing, faith and gently increasing activities we can fully recover.

Before reading this book I was bed bound, spoon feeded, couldnt speak at all and i couldnt concentrate. Now after 2 months I feel like 30% and I am 100% sure, that soon i will get to full recovery.

Thank you Miguel for saving my life!
I definitely recommend this life changing book.

Description so accurate

I experience the same for a period of weeks or months every few years when I’m under severe emotional stress, such as the abandonment of my parents, domestic violence, divorce and financial stress.

You are my life-saver

Amazing book!!! I believed recovery was not possible for years. I have lost 2 friends with chronic illness to suicide. This is not as uncommon as you might think. I WISH my friends would have read this book. It could have changed the trajectory of their lives - and if you open your mind enough, it might just save yours. Thank you Miguel. You are the definition of the word “inspiration.”

More of an introduction than a full book.

Miguel is all heart. (And a good reader.) And I am so glad that he recovered and that he is now sharing his wisdom with other people. I hope that some of his trainings help me recover. It is truly inspiring to listen to him and he is entirely authentic with his hope to help other people recover. However, this book is more of an introduction to his recovery support and lacks the detail that you might be looking for in a full book. It seems that it was written to be paired with the YouTube videos and his recovery program. At his suggestion, I did end up watching the number of the YouTube videos and they are helpful. In some ways you could probably skip the book and just do a deep dive into his YouTube channel!
