In this episode we dive into the metabolic and lifestyle foundations that drive chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, and energy dysfunction. Blood sugar stabilization is covered in depth, from managing hypoglycemia and insulin resistance to the role of ketogenic nutrition in difficult cases that have not responded to other approaches. We also look at hydration and electrolyte balance as an underappreciated piece of cellular energy production, and walk through practical sleep strategies including weighted blankets, white noise, mouth taping, and building a consistent sleep routine.
