Read this book about 2 months ago and I HIGHLY recommend it for CFS Recovery!

This is years ahead of where the NHS is currently having its scientific debate. Alex has figured out so much more already!

The book was amazing! I listened to it as well. I’m an NP suffering from ME/CFS, trying to work online part time. I get so disregarded by the medical system.

In Alex's first book (written many years ago) he talks about the final thing he did to recover was a very early rendition of the Phil Parker's Lighting Process. He is now such a pusher of function medicine (and the OHC patients spends thousands and thousands on testing, supplements, etc.) whereas there really was no functional testing/functional medicine, etc. when Alex recovered.

Probably one of the best interviews you have done… Omg the personality traits… at least 4 of them is me….

I love that you consciously engage with people that challenge your narrative! It's so important if you want to find truth rather than comfortably confirm your own opinion!

Wow!! This man is fantastic. He explains things so well. I will be buying his book.

Another excellent and resourse-packed interview. One thing I would say I that Alex repeatedly said that he hadn't planned this as his life's work, but I disagree. On a soul level, it's very clear that both of you DID plan this, as I believe, so many of us that are suffering and learning along the way did ❤️

I fit in every one of those patterns. 😮 The achiever and perfectionist gave me financial abundance that I don’t get to enjoy. My time, energy, and money are consumed by trying to heal. 😢

One minor point of difference I have: at one point was brought up the choice of prioritizing someone else's needs or your own. I often see it differently. I mean, when you have ME/CFS and little energy people aren't exactly beating down your door to meet your social needs (I mean, we are social creatures, right?). So I often see social opportunities as a choice between "Do I go out and die of exhaustion?" or "Do I stay home and die of loneliness?". And yeah, some of that may be grounded in low self-esteem, but not all of it.

I have your book Realan and now I've bought Alex's book too . Thank goodness for your knowledge and belief that we will all recover from ME and or long covid

Thanks Raelan and Alex. This is such an amazing interview with so much great information. My trigger was a chiropractor neck and spine adjustment. I was a nurse one day and debilitated and bedbound the next with pots syndrome and mecfs. I love that Alex speaks on subtypes, because I think we each may have something different fueling the illness. And oh my!! I think I fit all of those personalities. My whole life I was a helper, achiever, perfectionist, controller etc. I thought I was a successful, responsible adult 😂. I now realize I lacked boundaries and a healthy lifestyle. I can also completely relate to getting better and then going back to that type A unhealthy lifestyle and relapsing into death valley again. I am so guilty 🙋‍♀️ It’s so hard to break patterns that are so engraved in our being. But recovery is definitely worth putting in the hard work. 💪

What a helpful video! I am the person who has climbed up to "zero," then fallen back into (energy) debt again, over and over and over.

Thank you Raelan and Alex! HOPE is healing!

Thank you Realan for your effort sharing all these stories. I am on my healing journey and your chanel helps me to sustain motivation and stay on track. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic interview. Alex is one of my heroes...he does amazing work and is so knowledgeable...I love his YouTube channel. I am so glad you got to interview him. I have his book and I can't wait to read it! Thank you ❤

Great interview, lots of information. I did Alex Howards RESET Program, a great place to start, I am currently reading his book. I found Alex's approach easy to to understand and very relatable. Love his work, so glad you got to interview him.

Thank you so much!

Thank you Alex 🙏💖 and beautiful lovely Raelan ❤️💫❤️
