The Chronic Comeback
How Alex Went From Being Bedbound with Chronic Fatigue to Regaining Full Health using Faster EFT
In this episode, we have Alexandra Marynczak. Alex's health started deteriorating in her late teens, leaving her bedbound for most of her early 20s. After her own research led to a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue, she set about looking for positive recovery stories and it was through a mix of brain retraining programs, Faster EFT and diet that she restored her health, and she now helps others recover too as a Mind Body Therapist and Holistic Health Coach.
