HOLISTIC CHRONIC FATIGUE TREATMENT GUIDE
World Leaders in Holistic Care
Our team led by world-leading expert Dr Dani Gordon specialises in treating multi symptom chronic conditions including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
These conditions respond poorly to pharmaceuticals alone, often leading to ineffective treatment and frustrated patients.
Our mission is to improve your resilience and quality of life, even when a cure is not possible, through personalised holistic treatment programs combining:
- Drug therapy
- Novel medicines
- Nutritional medicine
- Mindbody medicine
- Functional medicine
Holistic Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or ME, is a complex nervous system and immune system disorder also involving the cell powerhouses called the mitochondria, gut health including gut wall integrity (eg. leaky gut/leaky brain hypothesis) and is slightly different for everyone, with triggers ranging from an acute stressful event, extreme physical stress on the body or after an acute viral infection or vector-borne illness.
What Goes Wrong In Chronic Fatigue
Specialised immune cells in the brain called microglia, which are involved with up regulating the brain-immune axis and in brain inflammation, form the first line of defence of the blood brain barrier may also become dysfunctional as part of CFS.
There are also many conditions that may be mistaken for CFS such as some vector-borne infections and some forms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so seeing an expert to rule out these specific causes is also important. A main regulatory balancing system in the brain and body, the endocannabinoid system can also become dysfunctional in CFS.
How Holistic Treatment Helps
A personalized holistic approach includes treatments to reduce these underlying drivers as well as improve fatigue quickly using novel medicines. Then targeted holistic treatments with nutritional medicine, nutraceuticals, optimizing the microbiome and addressing increased intestinal permeability using advanced functional medicine testing may be recommended depending on your case.
Mindbody techniques including biofeedback can help decrease brain and body hyperarousal and may help expand the energy envelope and decrease the ‘tired but wired feeling.’ Mindbody approaches combined with novel medicines can also help to restore deep sleep and promote healing, since lack of restorative sleep is also a hallmark of CFS despite being exhausted.
Our Process
Step 1.
Rapid Symptom Relief With Novel Medicines
Novel botanical medicines influence multiple biological functions and often bring rapid relief of symptoms within days.
Most patients see a significant improvement within the first month of therapy across multiple symptom clusters including mood, fatigue, stress, pain, sleep and mental function.
Novel Medicines Can Dramatically improve Quality Of Life
Many patients are able to wean down on other medications to help to further improve symptoms and quality of life and reduce unnecessary drug side effects.
Step 2.
Long Term Recovery
Once initial symptoms are relieved, we develop a personalized holistic long-term treatment plan, since even two people with the same diagnosis can need different things. This can include:
- Drug therapy –
- Functional medicine testing – advanced tests to identify root causes of symptoms such as microbiome testing, brain-gut axis function, methylation pathways and hormone levels
- Nutritional medicine – personalized therapeutic diets, supplements and botanicals.
- Mindbody medicine – meditation, relaxation response training, biofeedback.
- Lifestyle medicine – sleep, exercise, work/home environment.
Step 3.
Long Term Resilience
Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back in the face of challenging circumstances.
The ability to reduce distress, both mentally and physically enhances your quality of life & activates our inner potential for healing. Resilience can always be improved regardless of your medical diagnoses.
Our virtual platform gives you access to holistic tools and resources as part of your treatment to enhance your resilience further, manage your holistic health & see your progress over time so you can get better and stay better.

What Patients Say
After 11 years of doctors from four specialisms being perplexed about my conditions, I was getting precisely no-where. It wasn’t until I saw Dr Dani Gordon that I finally got some answers. Dani is like no other medical professional I have ever seen. She is not driven to solely prescribe drugs to treat symptoms – she is much more focused on investigating a root cause for the issue and on actually addressing that cause. She is also incredibly patient focused, taking individual needs and wishes into consideration. The combination of her talent in problem solving and medical investigation with a really genuine amount of care – in my opinion that is true medicine.
