Episode 148: Protein, Pacing & Physical Capacity: A Nurturing Resilience Membership Conversation

About this episode

This episode features a conversation from a Nurturing Resilience Group Call discussing various aspects of recovery including protein consumption and managing energy levels.

We’re back again this week sharing a recording from one of our Nurturing Resilience Group Calls. Each month we have one call dedicated to the nervous system and one call dedicated to what I call the more “practical” elements of recovery. In this recording you will hear some of our members asking their questions and we cover topics such as protein consumption, building up physical capacity and endurance, rehabilitation for deconditioning that happens when you have been ill a long time, migraines, delayed recovery after infections, what to do when you have more energy and how to manage guilt around not “doing enough”. This is a varied conversation that covers a range of useful topics. If you want to take part yourself, you are very welcome to join the Membership and get involved.
