How I Treated My Chronic Fatigue
Here's how I used Functional Medicine to heal my body of chronic fatigue syndrome and how you can too.
all right now let's listen to our second question which comes from Margot hi Dr Hyman it's Margot Kaylor I am desperate for help I've been diagnosed with chronic fatigue fibromyalgia renoid mixed connective tissue disease Pop um I have tried everything integr medicine Western medicine I wish that I could afford to come see you I'm hoping that you pick me for uh one of your calls I really need some help and want to get better I need energy and stamina and be to be able to sleep thank you this is a topic Margo that's near and dear to my heart and you'll learn in a minute why I'm sure you've heard from your doctors and the many ads on TV that the only way to treat your symptoms is with a drug but I'm here to tell you that that's simply not true and let me tell you why I'm so sure because I had chronic fatigue syndrome it's actually what launched me on my career in functional medicine because over 20 years ago I went from being super healthy riding my bike 30 m a day even more 100 Mil a day and being able to remember huge amounts of information to being completely laid out uh couldn't walk up the stairs couldn't remember where I was at the end of a sentence from where I started and and I had severe symptoms I had cognitive problems sleep issues muscle pain I had gut issues my whole system broke down and everybody told me it was you know just emotional or psychological but I knew it wasn't that there was something really going on it turned out I had mercury poisoning and I had gut issues and I fixed those and using the power functional medicine I completely recovered and you know I've been working for the last oh plus decade plus doing doing writing books traveling all over the world doing the things that I need to do to tell the story of how there's a different model of medicine so let's talk about the role of what the root causes are here so the root causes of chronic fatigue are real they're not they're not just someone's you know whining and doesn't go to work it's a real condition and the challenge is that most doctors and science doesn't really understand it and isn't applying the knowledge that we do have so it can be caused by gut issues it can be caused by lime and tick infections it can be caused by mold it can be caused by heavy metals so there are real things we look at to actually fix this problem so what ends up happening is that all this inflammation and free radicals ends up damaging your mitochondria these are the little energy factors in your cells that keep you running and functioning and thinking and doing all the things you need to do so you have to fix your mitochondria and that involves a comprehensive approach including diet and lifestyle stress reduction it includes gentle exercise it includes things like meditation but it also includes fixing the causes which is dealing with lime if that's an issue dealing with mold if that's an issue dealing with heavy metals if that's an issue all these things are really critical to fix the problem and then you need to support the body support the adrenals support the mitochondria with the right nutrients we use a whole host of things those are symptomatic treatment they're not going to fix the cause but you can support people to feel better so I want you all to know that my story had a very happy ending and yours can to Margot so check out this week's house call blog for resources and consider visiting a functional medicine doctor to figure out a personalized plan for you to heal and better yet Thrive so that's all the time we have for house calls today and if you like this video be sure to share with your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter and if you have any questions you can tweet them to me or send your video submissions to drhyman.com and maybe next week I'll make a house call to you thanks for watching

Having mecfs for 37 years, this is simply irresponsible… if it were this easy
I live in a 1900 American Foursquare, the basement is a constant wet zone and when you go down there you can smell the mold in the mildew. I've always been highly allergic to molds. I don't know what to do though to combat the mold situation in our home. All I know is I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Only thing to help my chronic fatigue has been daily usage of the 12 hr sudafed you get from pharmacist. In addition, caffeine, B12 methylated and electrolytes but not too much sodium. Been fighting this 20 years.
I didn't get anything
So many people I know being diagnosed with this after receiving the covid vaccines
Nada
Thanks for nothing doctor.
One of the root causes that you didn’t include is Epstein-Barr virus.
Which supplements support mitochondria tho?
👎👎👎👎
More bs as usual.
Thank you for this informative video.
zero useful info in this video
Hello, how do I know if I have lyme disease? What tests should be done? I already know I did have the tick bite, I actually had the red circle also. But it was years ago.
Hmm putting a lot of people on the wrong path with making them think their mitochondria arent working properly.
worthless
He's saying CFS is a break down of the mitochondria cells. You must examine your life to see what's been assaulting you. Diet, stress, poisons. See a functional medicine drto start your journey!
CLICK BAIT, DONT BOTHER>
If ppl could recover from listening to this there wd be no chronic fatigue syndrome.
You are lucky that I am desperate enough to click on any click bait.
One can try Ashwagandha Capsules by planet ayurveda this really helps
This was a pointless video.
Absolute flog
Nothing helped me.
I need the power of functional medicine. I have same issues you had when you started your journey plus Hashimoto’s. I had Mercury filling removed. Dentist didn’t do that the right way so I was very sick for months, shortly after having a baby. 🤦♀️ I wish the video included info on what to do 🙏
Crazy thumbnail and misleading title, you should be ashamed.
Misinformation
Visit functional medicine doctor.
In the last 24 years diagnosed with ME and Lyme I did/tried all the things you tell about and much more, mr. Hyman. It cost me 35.000 euro,but nothing helped so far😪. For me then. Hopefully it does for other patients. Less sick with Me or chron. Lyme.
After every infection I am getting sicker.
Since Omicron infection last year, I am laying 22 hours per day horizontal instead of 20 hours per day in the years before.
But, I am happy for you that you recovered.😊
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Wow that was an empty packed video, wtf, click bait,,, other than, go see a “ functional medicine doctor”… yeah ok,, but not sure if ya know,, most people with ME/CFS will never afford a Functional Medicine doctor,, cause were in bed sleeping, not working, and if your lucky enough to get approved for disability,, you’ll never even be able to afford the bare necessities of survival expenses, nevertheless, supplements, treatments and Holistic doctors.
I learned nothing
For someone that is so desperate this is like sick to me that he gives false hope but no solution
Tried functional nutrition cost a fortune and did nothing for my m.e and fibromyalgia. Complete rip off don't bother
charlatan
This is a terrible way to make videos, mr. Mark. Super misleading, nothing concrete, a waste of time. DISLIKED.
Thankyou for sharing this video.. Atirasadi Churna by planet ayurveda it is very beneficial
Nice video.. Chanderprabha Vati by planet ayurveda is very helpful in this condition
Wow what a headache
All they think about is how they can screw you
You didn’t really answer the question. You skirted the answer.
🤡
I'm not sure why people are saying the title is misleading. He said find a functional medicine doctor who can identify your issue. There's no one remedy that fixes everyone.
I have watched some of his videos. The title doesn't match the content 😅
Cfs ist multisystem dysfunction. Circulation not working right, thus heart not working right, digestion damaged, POTS, it's neurological autoimmune were the whole body system is out of whack…..it's not going to be solved by diet, supplements or eradication…..
"Great video! I’ve been using the ANTI-FATIGUE PACK from Planet Ayurveda, and it’s made such a difference in my energy levels!"
