Video Blog: Chronic fatigue syndrome: questions on treatment at The Optimum Health Clinic

Welcome to this week’s video blog.  This week we have the final instalment of Alex and Sanna’s talk in Stockport earlier this year.  Alex and Sanna are taking questions from the audience about the various treatment options available at the clinic, along with questions about getting tests requested by the nutrition team at the clinic from your GP.  This is a great simple introduction to the clinic’s various treatment approaches, so for anyone currently considering treatment it is a helpful introduction, and for anyone only on treatment on one side of the clinic, a good overview of the bigger picture.

We hope you enjoy, please do feel free to post any questions below, and we look forward to speaking with you next week where we’ll be getting started with releasing our transcripts as well!

Video Blog: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: muscle pain – psychology and physiology

Welcome to this week’s video blog.  This week we have the second of our videos in our groundbreaking new series looking at the different symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and ME from the perspectives of both the psychology and nutrition team.  For this video Anna (Director of Psychology) and Tanya (Director of Nutrition) are looking at muscle pain, a symptom experienced by many patients, and obviously a lot more prevalent in fibromyalgia (which we have a specific video coming up on).  This video explains the role of hyperventilation in muscle pain, the mechanisms of how stress affects muscle pain, the relationship of magnesium to muscle pain, and a lot more!

In response to feedback that two new videos a week is rather a lot for patients to go through (we do get a bit carried away!), we’ve decided to change the format of newsletters to one video a week, along with one transcript.  The transcripts will be starting from late August, so in the meantime, you’ll be getting an easier load with just one video for a few weeks.  Enjoy!

Video Blog: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: IBS psychology and physiology

Welcome to this week’s video blog. We are very excited to be sharing the first of a new series of videos with Anna (Director of Psychology) and Tanya (Director of Nutrition) discussing each of the range of symptoms of ME and CFS from the perspectives of both departments at the clinic. These videos are a fascinating insight into the clinic’s truly integrative approach, whilst also really helping to understand how to best work with different symptoms and truly get to the bottom of them. The first video discusses Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and offers some powerful insightful perspectives.

The second of our videos this week is the latest instalment of Alex and Sanna live in Stockport. This video is the first of several videos from the talk taking questions live from the audience. Questions include extreme fainting in ME and CFS, and how to break out of boom and bust. As always, please do add your comments and questions to the videos.
