    The 4-Step Process to Resolve Long Covid and Chronic Fatigue Naturally

    Join us and learn about Long Covid, CFS, as well as these related topics: The 5 energy drainers that you need to remove to increase your energy The major reason why the providers you've seen haven't helped and why most fatigue treatments fail The surprising flaws in laboratory tests and how they are keeping you sick The reason why you can feel worse during treatment and what you can do about it The 4-step process to finding and fixing the causes of chronic fatigue International Long Covid & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Expert "Evan H. Hirsch, MD, also known as the EnergyMD, specializes in helping people with Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) resolve their symptoms naturally so they can get back to living their best lives. After recovering from his own 5-year battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, he created the EnergyMD Method, a research-informed, clinically tested 4-step process that addresses the "Toxic 5" real root causes of fatigue. Through his best-selling book, podcast, and virtual program serving clients across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, he has helped thousands of people around the world recover their energy and return to the activities they love. He has been featured on TV, podcasts, and summits, and when he is not supporting clients, you can find him singing musicals, dancing hip hop, learning languages, and traveling with his family." In Evan's own words: "Hi, I'm Evan. My journey into energy and recovery started when my wife, Stacy, was diagnosed with chronic fatigue. As a medical professional, I felt completely helpless watching her struggle, realizing how limited conventional medicine often is. Years later, after opening my own functional medicine practice, I hit a wall myself. Exhaustion, brain fog, body pain – I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Trying to balance work and family became nearly impossible. I knew I needed to find answers, not just as a practitioner, but as someone living with it.  That led me on an intensive exploration into the root causes of ME/CFS. Through research, conferences, and a lot of trial and error, I identified what I now call the "Toxic 5": heavy metals, chemicals, molds, infections, and nervous system dysfunction. These are the often-overlooked factors that can keep you stuck in a cycle of fatigue. The amazing thing is, once I understood these underlying issues, I was able to recover. That experience inspired me to write a book and shift my focus to helping others reclaim their energy and vitality. Now, I work with people struggling with ME/CFS and Long Covid, guiding them toward lasting recovery. I've developed a program, EnergyMD, that goes beyond the typical approaches. While Long Covid brings the added challenge of the virus and spike protein, the core principles are the same: addressing the Toxic 5. One of the most powerful components of the EnergyMD Program is nervous system retraining. By incorporating this element, we've seen people recover more quickly and experience deeper, more sustainable results. It's a piece of the puzzle that's often missed, even in functional medicine. My mission is to help 1 million people reverse ME/CFS and Long Covid. If you're feeling trapped in a cycle of fatigue, know that you're not alone, and there is a path forward. If you're ready to explore the EnergyMD Program and discover how to reclaim your energy and your life, I'm here to guide you."

But, Mark has many albums, and I believe we play at least one song from one of his other albums.  From MarkPinkus.com "Mark was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
