Amazing program

I have been in platinum for a few months and I really appreciate the level of support. It is very encouraging when my coach sees my progress.
The community interactions are truly invaluable and so very supportive. It is so important to be able to interact with others that really understand what we are all going through.
This program is a lifeline for so many of us.
Recovery academy calls and integration calls are vital, hearing everyone’s wins is so encouraging and the wealth of knowledge we gain with the questions is spot on.
I feel so very fortunate and blessed to be a member of this community 😘

Im so incredibly happy that I have found this program, the best community and coaches.
For me it’s a totally difference and I don’t feel alone with all this confusion.
Sure recovery is an up and down, but to get reassured and personal plans makes it a ton easier. Will definetly stick to it until I’m well!!

Feeling less alone and having clear reassurance and personal guidance can make a big difference, especially with how up and down recovery can be. That ongoing support and structure is exactly what we constantly aim to provide, We’re really glad you found us when you did and happy to be every instrumental in getting you right on track. Thanks for sharing this, Géraldine.

Joining CFS Recovery has truly changed my life.

When I first started, I was mostly homebound and felt incredibly isolated. I didn’t understand what was happening in my body. But this program gave me the knowledge, tools, and most importantly the community I needed. For the first time, I felt seen and understood by people from around the world who were walking the same path.

The coaches are deeply knowledgeable and compassionate. Their guidance goes far beyond symptom management, they help you reclaim your life. At times, it feels more like life coaching than just recovery support, which has been an unexpected and beautiful bonus!

Six months in, I’ve come so far. I’m working part-time, going on hikes and even short runs, eating out at restaurants, and enjoying time with friends at bars. I feel happy, connected, and hopeful.

Most importantly, I now know that full recovery is possible. I believe it with every part of me, and I’m not just getting my old life back, I’m building a better one.

There are several forms of support available. Everyone can find what they need according to their needs and energy level.

The first thing i learned is to understand adjustment periods. Rather than fearing them, I now experience them with the right mindset. Also, thanks to brain retraining, I managed to get rid of the headaches I had every day for years. I am truly grateful to have tried this program.

Genevieve, this is great progress. Shifting your mindset around adjustment periods and no longer fearing them is a big step, and resolving daily headaches after years is a huge win. We're definitely built to meet people at different levels and in a way that fits every at their capacity , we’re glad that’s been your experience. Thank you for sharing this.💙

Definitely recommend

I had learnt bout brain retraining before joining this course. But the approach to expansion, adjustment periods, the supportive community combined with the brain retraining really changed the speed of my recovery. I started fearing symptoms less and less and that changed everything. I went from being in bed 21 hrs a day to finally being able to walk, bike, swim and travel. I totally recommend the cfs recovery academy and all the wonderful coaches for anyone looking for help and hope. I was at the place where I looked on internet and everything sounded so doom and gloom. But that is really not true. We can recover from these illnesses. I believe that wholeheartedly.

Wow! Wonderful. Going from being in bed most of the day to now walking, biking, swimming, and traveling shows how powerful it is to change your relationship with symptoms. The combination of expansion, understanding adjustment periods, and community support is very crucial for recovery. We’re glad you found us. Thank you for sharing such a hopeful message. Keep winning in life!

This was the turning point in my recovery

I joined Miguel’s Recovery Academy program exactly two years ago, at a time when I was at my absolute worst. I had been housebound for months, struggling with severe Long Covid symptoms after experiencing over 60 extreme neurological issues. From insomnia, panic attacks, POTS, Raynaud’s, MCAS, and intense allergies, to cognitive dysfunction, extreme weight loss, light and sound sensitivity, depression, derealization, and even suicidal thoughts, my nervous system felt completely broken, and my body barely functional.

After months of doctor visits, tests, and being told “everything looks normal,” I was left with no answers. I was told to accept my new reality and learn to live with my symptoms. But I couldn’t accept that so I started searching online for recovery stories and came across Raelan Agle’s YouTube channel, which eventually led me to Miguel and others like Amy from Positively Covid, Roberto Escobar, and Rebecca Tolin. That’s when hope began to return.

I chose Miguel’s Recovery Academy because it was more accessible than his premium program, and I’m so glad I did. The support from the coaches inside the Academy was absolutely invaluable. Their insight and compassionate guidance helped me navigate the fear and symptom flares that came with rewiring my brain and nervous system. I truly believe that without their help, my progress would’ve taken much longer.

After five months in the program, I felt strong enough to continue on my own. The tools and understanding I gained about the nervous system, how to respond to APs, and how to approach graded exposure, laid the foundation for the recovery path I followed.

Two years later, I can honestly say I feel like I’m almost 100% back to “normal.” I now work 30 hours a week (by choice, I could work full time if I wanted to), travel freely, eat whatever I want, and no longer deal with POTS, anxiety, or any of the debilitating symptoms that once ruled my life. I rock climb and strength train multiple times a week, something that would've been unimaginable back then!!

This program, along with others that I paid for and are similar to this, helped me understand my body and mind in a way I never had before. It gave me the tools to regulate my nervous system and approach life’s inevitable stressors with more resilience. Though I still get minor symptoms like the occasional tension headache, or a little insomnia here and there when I try new things or stimuli is higher, or when I’m overwhelmed about life, I now know how to respond and that makes all the difference.

This program was the starting point of my healing journey, and I’m so deeply grateful for it. It opened my eyes to the world of nervous system regulation and led me to a community of people who’ve also recovered from conditions that once felt impossible to escape.

Maria, thank you for sharing such an incredible journey. Going from being at your absolute worst with no answers to now working, traveling, training, and living freely again is a massive transformation. It really highlights how understanding the nervous system and learning how to respond to symptoms can change the trajectory completely. We’re grateful to be a starting point for that shift and will continue guiding you in building lasting recovery. Keep going!

Exceptionally well put together framework for CFS recovery

"CFS recovery" has helped me not only fully understand what is actually happening in my body and why, but offers a fully supportive framework which includes weekly group calls where I can get any questions answered, plus I have access to a peer group of others with CFS who are moving along on their recovery journeys too. I have done other courses but this for me is the one that is most complete, and has helped me the most.

Really great to hear this. Understanding what’s actually happening in your body is such a turning point necessary for everyone in recovery, and having a structured framework to follow makes that actionable. We’re glad the combination of group calls, ongoing support, and community has made this stand out compared to other programs you tried. We're dedicated to give the best and up to date recovery strategies backed up by researching and proven track record. Thank you for sharing this us and we're glad to be the turning point of your story.

Like no other CFS recovery program!

I’ve looked at many programs, tried a few and they just didn’t have the level of support and education that CFS Recovery Academy offers. This is a step by step method that is well organized and well explained. There are several coaches who have all recovered using this method so you have a variety of personalities doing the teaching and coaching too. It’s very interactive so you never feel alone on this journey. Platinum experience is wonderful because you have access to your own coach 5 days a week for a year if you need more info and support. I doubt there is another cfs recovery program out there that can match the benefits of CFS Recovery Academy!

The content is well-organised

The content is well-organised so you know what to do next. It starts with foundational things you need to know, and then builds slowly upon these principles that have been the key for many people healing from CFS, POTS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia.

Much of the content is new and easy to digest.

I found what if been looking for

I found what if been looking for. Like many others I wish I would have found this Programm sooner. I’ve been diagnosed with Post Covid one and a half years ago, however been ill for over 3 years. I now have a understanding of what is happening to me and how to approach my recovery with support from the coaches and the community of CFS Recovery. I can already see progress in my recovery after having joined a little over a month ago. I am in the middle of my journey and I believe 100% in this approach for recovery.

This program has saved my life

Before I signed to this program, I did quite a few other programs which almost haven't helped at all. I was afraid to do any kind of activity, and I thought that activities are bed for my recovery and symptoms are bad for my progress. The coaches have taught me that we need symptoms in order to progress. And symptoms are the body's and the nervous system's way to adjust to the new activity. I've started the program when I was housebound, now I can socialize, go shopping, travel and enjoy life. I still have a way to go, but I know it's only a matter of time until full recovery 🤩♥️

Essential, effective, excellent

I wish I had embarked on this program at the start of my long covid journey 1.5 years ago. Not a single doctor could tell me the root cause of my symptoms and I felt isolated, confused, scared and stuck in a loop of pushing and crashing. Thanks to the principles of this program I have my life back. I'm well on the way to full recovery and not just that but the tools given in this program have addressed a longer standing nervous system dysregulation that I didn't didn't know was the cause if chronic migraines, rumination, feeling under equipped to handle strong emotions etc. I am so much stronger mentally and physically thanks to this program . So eternally grateful

CFS Recovery - my best choice

I had partly recovered from CFS using a different online program , but I was stuck and feeling discouraged and isolated. I realised I needed a coach , interactive communication and a community. I heard an interview Miguel and immediately signed up with CFS recovery. This was the best decision I could have made . I immediately felt connected, understood and supported by the coaches and the community. The program is easy to understand -with clear strategies and actions. I have a personal action plan developed monthly in a phone call with my coach. I can also reach her or other coaches by text five days a week and answers come quickly. There are also multiple Zoom calls every week, which is another opportunity for interaction.
I’m now about 80% or more recovered and I am confident that I will fully recover with this program.

This program led me back to my active…

This program led me back to my active life!After struggling for over two years to recover from long covid I found the Recovery Academy on Facebook. I’d tried many gadgets along the way that calmed the nervous system— for the moment. But I continued a pattern of “cured” and “crashed”. The Academy offers several levels to accommodate your need and your budget. The well organized collection of video models explain the science of the nervous system in easily chunks that I could absorb even with brain fog. I found the frequent group zoom calls especially helpful for answering questions and providing emotional support and encouragement. In the three months I’ve been here, I’ve learned how to respond to the bizarre symptoms that are common with cfs/LC and I’m now back to my very active cycling life and nearly symptom free. I’m very happy with the program and highly recommend it.

Life changing program

Thank you for creating this amazing program Miguel.
From living with extreme symptoms everyday for 7 years which left me bed bound and house bound, to now living life on my own terms again. I still have a way to go, but it’s like a whole new life unlocked in front of me. I’ll be forever grateful and can’t recommend this program enough. If you’re still on the fence, please dare to check it out. The coaches are super kind and everyone is extremely supportive and want to see you succeed! Which you will! Recovery is inevitable if you follow the recovery principles and give your body time to heal and adjust. This is no miracle cure and you definitely have to put in some work, but it is so worth it. Thank you Miguel and coaches❤️

My perspective as a bilingual bicultural psychotherapist/social worker

In the summer of 2024 I was considering applying for Social Security disability. I made a transactional decision and instead of investing energy pursuing that, I joined CFS recovery academy. It's the best decision I've made for my Recovery. Being part of such a caring and experienced Community was a major game changer. The structure, support and care made a huge difference. Learning to undo my "fight vs. flight" reactions, and how to shift my mindset from a 'victim' losing a battle to THRIVER is well worth the investment. What you will find here cannot be found in the mainstream Healthcare Community, believe me I tried for over 3 years between MD's, lab work, psychotherapists, and on and on and on. Try this, you've got nothing to lose, take this from a psychotherapist / social worker with over 30 years of experience in the healthcare field. Thank you everyone at CFS recovery academy! And now, on to my thriver video interview of my recovery story. GRACIAS!

18 months and Thriving better than my old self!

I have been in the program for 6 months and so much has changed for the better since joining.

The tools, resources and understanding of this illness made all the difference for me. It gave me both hope and direction that I could apply towards getting better.

When I came into the group I was pretty functional, but still struggling with some symptoms, and hadn’t worked out for a year due to symptoms and fear of going backwards.

Six months later (currently) I am back to my full strength, prior to the illness, working full days again, have full focus back, and find myself doing all the things (and more) that someone without the illness.

Bottom line, I no longer think of myself as having this. I’m extremely thankful for the excellent training Miguel and his team put together.

It gave me hope and healing and I know it’ll continue to help so many!
