Chronic fatigue syndrome often involves mitochondrial dysfunction, where your cells struggle to produce adequate energy for daily functioning. Our specialized approach focuses on providing the specific nutrients your mitochondria need to function optimally, including B-vitamins, CoQ10, magnesium, and other cofactors essential for cellular energy production.

We carefully assess your individual biochemical needs and create targeted nutrition strategies that support these cellular powerhouses. In New Paltz's health-conscious community, we leverage access to high-quality, locally-sourced foods that naturally support mitochondrial function. Our protocols incorporate seasonal Hudson Valley produce rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients that protect cellular structures while supporting energy metabolism.

We understand that implementing dietary changes requires energy you may not have, so our approach emphasizes simple, practical strategies that deliver maximum benefit with minimal effort, allowing you to nourish your cells without depleting your already limited energy reserves.

Chronic inflammation plays a central role in chronic fatigue syndrome, perpetuating symptoms and interfering with normal energy production and recovery processes. Our comprehensive anti-inflammatory approach identifies and eliminates dietary triggers while emphasizing foods that actively reduce inflammatory markers in your body.

We use evidence-based protocols that have been shown to decrease systemic inflammation and improve energy levels in individuals with chronic fatigue. Our practice takes advantage of the region's abundant access to anti-inflammatory foods, including fresh herbs, omega-3 rich fish, and seasonal produce with high antioxidant content.

We create personalized elimination and reintroduction protocols when needed, helping identify specific foods that may be triggering inflammatory responses unique to your system. The result is a sustainable, enjoyable way of eating that actively reduces the inflammatory burden on your body while supporting improved energy, better sleep quality, and reduced pain and brain fog.

Blood sugar instability can dramatically worsen chronic fatigue symptoms, creating energy crashes that leave you feeling more exhausted than before. Many individuals with CFS develop reactive hypoglycemia or insulin resistance, making strategic blood sugar management essential for symptom improvement.

Our approach focuses on creating meal timing, food combining, and macronutrient balance strategies that maintain steady glucose levels throughout the day. Working with clients in the New Paltz area, we understand how local lifestyle factors like seasonal activity changes, stress from college town dynamics, and varying schedules can impact blood sugar stability.

We develop flexible, practical meal planning approaches that accommodate these realities while maintaining the consistent nutrition your body needs for stable energy. Our strategies include specific guidance on pre and post-meal timing, strategic snacking, and how to handle social eating situations without triggering energy crashes that can set back your recovery progress.

Chronic fatigue syndrome frequently involves digestive dysfunction, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), leaky gut syndrome, and compromised nutrient absorption that can perpetuate fatigue and other symptoms. Poor digestive health means even the best nutrition plan won't deliver optimal results because your body can't effectively absorb and utilize the nutrients you're consuming.

Our approach addresses underlying digestive issues while optimizing your ability to extract maximum nutrition from food. In the New Paltz community, where stress levels can be high and eating patterns irregular, we focus on gentle digestive healing protocols that don't overwhelm your system.

We incorporate locally available fermented foods, healing broths, and easily digestible nutrient-dense options that support gut repair while providing essential nutrition. Our digestive health strategies are designed to work synergistically with your body's natural healing processes, gradually improving absorption and reducing the digestive burden that can drain precious energy.

Chronic fatigue syndrome often involves dysregulated stress response systems, including adrenal dysfunction that impacts your body's ability to manage daily stressors and maintain stable energy levels. Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting healthy adrenal function and helping your body develop more resilience to physical and emotional stressors.

Our protocols include specific nutrients and eating patterns that nourish your stress response systems. Living in New Paltz means navigating unique stressors, from academic pressures to seasonal changes that can impact mood and energy.

We develop nutrition strategies that specifically support your adrenal glands and nervous system, incorporating adaptogenic foods and strategic meal timing that works with your body's natural cortisol rhythms. Our approach helps stabilize your stress response, leading to more predictable energy levels and improved capacity to handle daily challenges without triggering post-exertional malaise or energy crashes.

Recovery from chronic fatigue requires a long-term perspective that balances gradual improvement with sustainable daily practices. Our approach emphasizes creating nutrition strategies that you can maintain consistently, even during symptom flares or challenging periods.

We focus on building flexible frameworks rather than rigid rules, allowing you to adapt your nutrition approach as your energy levels and symptoms change over time. For New Paltz residents, this means developing strategies that work with seasonal changes, varying schedules, and the realistic demands of daily life in the Hudson Valley.

We provide tools for energy pacing through nutrition, helping you understand how different foods and eating patterns affect your symptoms so you can make informed choices that support your healing journey. Our sustainable approach prevents the boom-bust cycles that can worsen chronic fatigue, instead creating steady, incremental progress toward improved energy and overall well-being.
