When Your Tests Are Normal… But Your Symptoms Aren’t with Miguel Bautista

from Take A Breath

This week’s episode is for anyone who has been dealing with symptoms that feel very real, very limiting, and yet every test, scan or specialist appointment seems to come back with the same answer: “You’re fine.”I’m joined by Miguel Bautista, founder of CFS Recovery, who helps people recover from chronic fatigue syndrome, long COVID and other debilitating symptoms through a nervous system and neuroplasticity-based approach.Miguel shares his own powerful story of recovery after four and a half years of living with a hypersensitive nervous system, severe fatigue, brain fog and a huge range of physical symptoms that left him bedridden and searching for answers.Together, we explore what can happen when the body is stuck in survival mode, why symptoms can be very real even when tests come back normal, and how recovery can begin when we start working with the nervous system rather than against it.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why a hypersensitive nervous system can create real physical symptoms even when tests appear normalHow stress, personality traits and life pressures can push the nervous system into survival modeHow neuroplasticity and brain retraining can help change persistent symptom patternsWhy your emotional response to symptoms can influence whether they intensify or settleThe difference between managing symptoms and truly moving toward recovery and thrivingFor Recovery Stage Identifier and Personalised Recovery Report go to: https://cfsrecovery.co/breatheDownload 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
