Sarah Hall is a breast cancer survivor, mom and health coach. She was diagnosed in her early 3-'s while pregnant and had to navigate cancer treatment while pregnant, through delivery and breast feeding. Through her experience she discovered her love for helping others build resiliency and find confidence, self esteem, and energy in survivorship. She co-hosts a podcast Besties with Breasties which is devoted to helping women develop their own resiliency and resources in recovery. She joins the show today to discuss the emotional and physical aspects of healing and unique challenges of being a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer.

Among my clients recovering from breast cancer the most common symptoms I hear them struggling with is brain fog and fatigue. While these symptoms often arise in response to treatment all too often these symptoms are present prior to treatment and get worse as a result of treatment and become chronic.

Fatigue affects millions of people and most don’t realize resolution is possible. In the United States, fatigue is the seventh most common reason for visiting an internal medicine practice, accounting for more than 10 million visits and more than $300 million in medical care costs. Conventional medicine does not have good tools to treat fatigue, thus a functional & environmental medicine approach must be used. 

Today, fatigue expert Dr. Evan Hirsch joins us to discuss addressing fatigue from a perspective of functional medicine and identifying and addressing the root causes of fatigue and strategies to reverse these debilitating symptoms.

Dr. Hirsch suffered with fatigue for 5 years before he achieved resolution using the Fix Your Fatigue Program that he pioneered in his medical practice. 

Key points in today's interview:

• How does someone know they have fatigue? 
• What is a “level 1 problem” and what are the 3 levels of fatigue? 
• What are the causes of fatigue? 
• Why is it so hard to treat fatigue? 
• What is the 4 step Fix Your Fatigue System that you use to treat these causes? 
• How do you know if you can help (or not help) someone with fatigue?
