Before Helping Others With CFS Recovery, Miguel Battled For His Health

After recovering from CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome aka myalgic encephalomyelitis) Miguel Bautista felt like he had a new lease on life. At the height of his illness he was unable to walk or sit up in bed and needed meals blended so he could drink them. Now he is running marathons, traveling, spending quality time with loved ones and running a successful CFS recovery program. His journey through chronic illness was extremely tumultuous, but led to several profound realizations about how he was living his life. It also re-defined his life’s purpose moving forward.

In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Miguel walks us through his incredible journey through the depths of chronic illness and back. Realizing his immune system was overactive was a turning point in his journey. He elected admittance into in-patient psychiatric care to work on calming his hypersensitive nervous system. Through the use of medication and therapy, he was back on his feet within a month, experiencing long-lasting recovery.

After getting out of the hospital, Miguel began sharing his experience online. He quickly discovered the methods he had used to recover and the lessons he learned about neuroplasticity could be applied to other people. He now operates CFS Recovery, offering both free and paid coaching to individuals living through similar circumstances. He tells us about the three fundamental principals of his recovery program: determining your individual stress threshold, understanding the base problem of a hyperactive nervous system, and recognizing that your success will be dictated by how you respond to flaring symptoms.
