Episode 175 - Mitch's M.E/CFS Recovery Story

From Bedbound to Living Again: Mitch’s M.E/CFS Recovery Story

A few years ago, Mitch was a fit, active teenager. 

Then his body started shutting down. 

Within weeks, he went from riding his bike to school… to ending up in hospital, terrified, wondering if he was dying. 

At his worst, making his bed felt like a massive achievement. The couch became his whole world.
Noise, light, conversations - everything was too much. 

In this week’s podcast, Mitch shares his full story - honestly, calmly, and without sugar-coating it. 

Not just what it was like to be that unwell but what actually helped him move forward, step by step, until he got his life back. 

Today, Mitch is:
running again
working long shifts
travelling
living fully 

This episode isn’t about a miracle fix. It’s about fear, patience, timing, and learning how to move toward health instead of fighting symptoms. 

If you’re struggling right now, I think you’ll feel very seen by this conversation.
