EP.291/ Endo Q&A: How to manage endo fatigue and brain fog

 

As part of Endometriosis Awareness Month I’m answering your questions over on IG live and I get a really good response when I share these on the podcast last as well! So, that’s what this week’s episode is.

Just a heads up, I’m not sure why but the IG Live recording has a weird buzzing, ticking sound, which we’ve tried to remove, but you may still hear it a little.

So, this week I’m answering: “How to manage fatigue and brain fog?”

There are a lot of factors that could be influencing your endo fatigue and brain fog, so there may absolutely be other areas to address, but here are some of my core essential strategies…

1. Balance blood sugar

2. Check B12, iron, vit D and folate levels and address any low levels or deficiencies

3. Eat a nutrient dense, anti-inflammatory diet the majority of the time

4. Work on your circadian rhythm, starting with getting daylight to your eyes in the AM for at least 10 mins but ideally 30

Can you help me save Jelly the kitten? We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished. 

The vets have given us a very stark picture of the reality. If Jelly goes back on the streets, his condition will deteriorate and he will suffer until he eventually passes away. We have been told to find him a home where he can continue getting care or put him to sleep.

We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can.

If you are able to and want to support, you can donate and read Jelly’s full story on our Go Fund Me page. I truly cannot express how much your support means to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
