Recover from ME/CFS
Your journey to wellness begins here. Discover how the Power Up Program can help you develop a plan to regain your functioning and strength. The five-factor protocol emphasizes the idea that most people who recover focus on five main areas. These areas are medical, psychological, pacing, exercise, and diet.
The Power Up book is available on this website. In this work, detailed instructions are provided for the psychological aspects of this disorder, exercise, and pacing. Medical concerns and diet are your responsibility, as supported by your physician and other chosen professionals. (Please note: There is a 2nd page with additional materials on this website.)

OVERVIEW OF ME/CFS: THEORY AND TREATMENT
DIET & NUTRITION
Diet and nutrition play an important role in maintaining good health. Overly processed foods can cause harmful inflammation. Many people with ME/CFS move toward a plant-based, whole grain diet and restrict intake of sugar and alcohol.
EXERCISE
Educated movement is a key piece in increasing energy. Few seem to improve without the careful implementation of an exercise program.
