Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is becoming an alarming epidemic. Once dismissed as a vague or elusive condition, CFS is now recognized as a debilitating disorder characterized by extreme fatigue, brain fog, and a host of other symptoms that don’t improve with rest. For those living in cities, the combination of environmental stressors - such as electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 5G and electricity, poor-quality water, air pollution, fast food, and a lack of connection to nature - creates a perfect storm for the rise of CFS. More and more people are reaching out, desperate for answers. The good news? There’s a scientifically grounded, holistic approach to combat CFS and reclaim your vitality: the SUPER Human Protocol. 

‍The Urban Assault on Our Health

‍Modern urban life is a double-edged sword. While cities offer convenience and opportunity, they also expose us to unprecedented levels of stress and toxicity. EMF from Wi-Fi, cell phones, 5G networks, and electrical devices disrupts our body’s natural electromagnetic field, potentially interfering with cellular function and contributing to symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Poor-quality water laden with chemicals and microplastics further burdens our detoxification systems. Fast food, often devoid of nutrients, fuels inflammation and oxidative stress. Add in sleep deprivation, a lack of sunlight, and minimal time spent in nature, and it’s no wonder our bodies are struggling to keep up. CFS is not just about feeling tired—it’s a systemic breakdown. Research suggests it may involve mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. The good news? By addressing these root causes, we can begin to heal. 

‍The SUPER Human Protocol: A Blueprint for Energy Restoration
‍
1. Reconnect with Earth’s Magnetism

‍Grounding, or earthing, is a simple yet powerful practice that involves direct contact with the Earth’s surface—walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil. Studies show that grounding can reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and balance cortisol levels. The Earth’s natural electromagnetic field helps stabilize our body’s own electrical systems, which may be disrupted by urban EMF exposure. Spend at least 20-30 minutes daily reconnecting with nature. Your body will thank you. 

‍2. Optimize Oxygen Intake

‍Oxygen is the cornerstone of energy production. Clean air is especially important, so if possible, spend daily time in a nearby park or forest. Many of us breathe shallowly, especially in stressful urban environments. Functional nose breathing—focusing on slow, deep breaths through the nose—helps balance oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, optimizing oxygen absorption. Incorporate breathing exercises into your daily routine. Techniques like box breathing (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds) can enhance lung capacity and reduce stress.

‍3. Prioritize Clean Water for Hydration
‍
‍Ensure your tap water is free from heavy metals and has a good pH and ionization level. Proper hydration is critical for cellular function and the health of soft tissues. Adding a small amount of quality salt and electrolytes to your water can support proper nervous system function and improve the transmission of nerve impulses.

‍4. Harness the Power of Natural and Red Light

‍Sunlight is nature’s medicine. Daily exposure to natural light regulates circadian rhythms, boosts vitamin D production, and supports mitochondrial function. If you’re stuck indoors, consider red or near-infrared light therapy. These wavelengths penetrate deep into cells, stimulating energy production and reducing inflammation. Aim for at least 20 minutes of sunlight or red light therapy daily.

‍5. Incorporate Daily Movement

‍Movement is non-negotiable for combating CFS. Walking is one of the most accessible and effective forms of exercise, promoting cardiovascular health, lymphatic drainage, and mental clarity. Aim for 10,000steps daily (approximately 6 km). If that feels daunting, start small and gradually increase. Consistency is key. Personally, I enjoy running, gym workouts, yoga, and myofascial unwinding. Movement should be about creating a state of joy, aliveness, and harmony with the universe, rather than reaching specific goals.

‍6. Nourish with Whole Foods and Supplements

‍Your body is a temple, and the food you eat is its foundation. A diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods—think fresh vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats—provides the nutrients your cells need to function optimally. Avoid inflammatory triggers like sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods. While transitioning to a whole-food diet may seem overwhelming, start with small, sustainable changes. Your energy levels will soar. Personally, I prioritize daily magnesium, AG1 drinks containing a spectrum of vitamins, and probiotics.  

‍7. Cultivate Inner Silence Through Meditation

‍Daily self-awareness practices are crucial for cultivating an inner witness and observing our thoughts and feelings. Our reality is shaped by our beliefs and thought processes. Meditation and sitting in silence are incredible ways to become aware of unhealthy patterns and shift toward thoughts that expand consciousness and heart coherence. Focusing on the heart during meditation can send more loving signals to the brain, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system and relieving stress or anxiety.

‍8. Optimize Sleep for Circadian Rhythm Efficiency

‍Sleep is crucial for energy recovery. It’s important to monitor not only the total duration (7-9 hours daily) but also the quality of sleep. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep plays a vital role in re-energizing the mind and body, while deep sleep is the most restorative stage, making up 0-35% of total sleep. Melatonin can be a beneficial supplement for balancing circadian rhythms and promoting deep, regenerative sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation can disrupt the body’s major systems, leading to stress and illness.

‍9. Protect Yourself from EMF Radiation

‍In our modern world, EMF exposure is unavoidable, but we can take steps to mitigate its effects. Consider using EMF-protective devices, such as shielding phone cases, router guards, or wearable pendants that neutralize EMF radiation. Additionally, certain supplements can help protect your body from EMF damage. Antioxidants like glutathione, vitamin C, and melatonin can combat oxidative stress caused by EMF exposure. Magnesium, a natural calcium channel blocker, may also help reduce the impact of EMF on your cells.

‍10. Release Emotions for Healing

‍Releasing tension from fascia and soft tissues and expressing emotions can be crucial for rediscovering passion and energy. Our bodies store memories, and suppressing emotions can block energy flow, contributing to chronic fatigue. My favorite therapies for working safely with the body and emotions include Biodynamic Breathwork, Myofascial Energetic Release, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, and Lomi Massage. Seek a skilled facilitator to help you connect with your feelings in a safe. 

‍The Science Behind the Protocol

‍The SUPER Human Protocol isn’t just a collection of wellness trends—it’s rooted in science. Grounding has been shown to reduce inflammation by neutralizing free radicals. Functional breathing improves oxygenation and reduces stress hormones. Natural light exposure regulates melatonin and serotonin production, essential for sleep and mood. Movement enhances mitochondrial biogenesis, the process by which your cells produce energy. A whole-food diet reduces oxidative stress and supports gut health, which is closely linked to immune function. And EMF protection strategies, backed by emerging research, can help safeguard your body from the harmful effects of modern technology. 

‍Take Control of Your Health

‍CFS may feel like an insurmountable challenge, but the power to heal lies within you. By reconnecting with nature, optimizing your breathing, harnessing the power of light, moving your body, nourishing yourself with real food, and protecting yourself from EMF radiation, you can break free from the cycle of fatigue. The SUPER Human Protocol isn’t just a solution—it’s a lifestyle. Start small, stay consistent, and watch as your energy, clarity, and vitality return. Your body is your greatest asset. Treat it with the care it deserves, and it will reward you with a life of energy and purpose. The time to act is now.
