Tyler de Francesco's Story: Living with ME/CFS

When I first got sick, my entire life fell apart. I was studying nursing, working in healthcare, and constantly on my feet. I loved helping people and felt like I had finally found my purpose.

But slowly, my body started breaking down in ways I couldn’t understand.

The Science Behind ME/CFS Recovery

In ME/CFS, the nervous system can get stuck in a chronic stress response. The issue may be functional rather than structural. Your nervous system may be locked in protection mode, making even normal activities feel overwhelming. This is what keeps symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and pain cycling.

Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to rewire itself, to help shift out of that stuck state. Instead of just managing symptoms, it works to address what may be driving them. That's where meaningful progress can begin.

Research on neuroplasticity-based interventions has shown measurable improvements in autonomic nervous system function. A 2021 review in Frontiers in Neuroscience confirmed that the adult brain retains significant capacity for rewiring, even after prolonged dysfunction. Voss et al., 2021

Through nervous system retraining and neuroplasticity protocols, people with ME/CFS are recovering every day. CFS Recovery has helped people from bedridden to semi-functional and everywhere in between.

What is nervous system retraining?

Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity principles to help your brain and nervous system shift out of a stuck stress response. In ME/CFS, the nervous system often gets locked in a protective mode after a viral trigger or prolonged stress. Retraining helps it recalibrate, which may allow your body to start functioning more normally. It's coaching-based, not medication-based.
