Living with the Silent Disease: Laura’s Journey Through Chronic Fatigue
Description
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — the silent disease that so often gets overlooked, misdiagnosed, or dismissed entirely. In this deeply personal episode, we’re joined by the lovely Laura from @alifeworthnourishing to shed light on what it's really like living with chronic fatigue.
Laura shares her powerful story — from the years of confusion and exhaustion, to finally getting a diagnosis. She walks us through the tests she had to advocate for, the health history that shaped her journey, and what managing chronic fatigue looks like for her today.
If you've ever felt like something was "off" but no one was listening, this episode is for you. We talk gentle routines, self-compassion, navigating medical gaslighting, and what a day in Laura’s life actually looks like now.
Whether you’re personally dealing with fatigue or supporting someone who is, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and more informed.
