CFS Recovery Avis 

🌟💫 From barely functioning to reclaiming my life! 💫🌟

I’m truly grateful to the CFS recovery program for the incredible educational content & to the amazing coaches—especially Miguel Bautista 🙌—for their constant encouragement & support that made my recovery possible!

After being debilitated for over 18 months and barely able to function 😔, I put in the work by listening to those educational videos (explained so simply for us with brain fog & cognitive impairment 🧠✨).

Thank you for helping me heal & thrive again 🤍

I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and started my journey completely bedridden, extremely disabled, and unable to care for myself. I came across CFS Recovery Academy and was initially resistant, but I had previously learned from a friend that healing from any chronic health condition involves the mind, body, and soul, and that really clicked with me on a deep level.

My Lyme doctor was addressing the physical side of my illness, but I realized I had my own part to play too. The mind is so powerful. This program helped me adopt a new mindset that became a driving force in my recovery. I developed a belief in my ability to heal by learning from the coaches in the program who had walked in my shoes and came out on the other side. When I started pouring equally into all three: my mind, body, and soul, I started to make meaningful progress.

This program has helped my mental health more than therapy alone, because it has given me hope and a community of people who are on the same path and understand me on a deep level.

I’m still very much in the thick of my recovery journey, but I’m excited about the progress I’m making so far and where I’m headed. From being completely bedbound and unable to talk or sit up, I’ve started to experience moments I once couldn’t imagine, like driving for 15 minutes and occasionally walking across the street, giving me glimpses of independence that once felt so far away.

I’m incredibly grateful for CFS Recovery Academy and the tools and support that have helped me get to where I am today.❤️ I have full faith that I’ll continue making progress to be able to live a normal life and reach full remission one day. ❤️

I’m dealing with ME/CFS for more than 4 years now and I have been on a constant downward trend until I joined CFS Recovery. Not only did I stabilize 4 months in the program, but I actually made progress and I feel like there is slowly coming more and more life back. I have tried many things on my recovery journey, but with this program for the first time I believe I found the way to full recovery.

All coaches have been through it themselves, so they know exactly what people with CFS are going through. They share their wisdom in video modules, group calls and also 1-on-1 support. I also love the amazing community and the positive atmosphere. It‘s so good to see how others progress, what they are struggling with and what works for them. I regularly see people leaving the program because they recovered and got their life back.

I joyned the CFS Recovery Program a month ago and I consider this the best thing I have ever done in case of trying to recover from CFS. You´ll gain a lot of knowledge why your´re having a hypersensitive nervous system and why this is the root cause of your condition. The program is well structured and you will get many tools to calm down your nervous system and acess to information all about recovery. The best part is, that every coach in this program dealt with those conditions themselves and recovered, so they all have experience and you will finally feel like being understood and you get first hand recovery knowledge from somebody who has been in your shoes. The community and it´s people itself is also heartfelt und seeing other members making progress in they´re recovery journey is giving hope and letting you know that you´re not alone in this. I´m happy that I found out about this program after watching Miguel Bautistas clips on Youtube and for the first time I´m convinced that 100% recovery is indeed possible!

CFS has helped me alot with dealing with my symptoms. It has really changed my life. The coaches are great . The community is great. I couldnt say enough good things about CFS recovery. Thanks to Miguel and the staff!

My experience with CFS Recovery has been absolutely life changing. My journey with long covid has been incredibly frightening. There was so much uncertainty and with that came lots of unanswered questions. I began myself to search for answers. In my search, I came across Miguel Bautista's CFS Recovery Channel on Youtube. It was there that I started to get some answers and gain some insight into what was happening to me. I watched his videos on repeat and then joined the CFS Recovery Program. The online support of the CFS Recovery community, the group calls, the content that Miguel provides, and the coaching support team have been the reason I AM recovering. All of the coaches have been through what I am experiencing. It is because of their wisdom, genuine care and guidance/support that I have gone from housebound to being functional again. I cannot say enough about this program!

You pay for actual sessions, group calls and coaching support. It's valid.
This works and it deserves all the recognition it can get.
There is a lot of misunderstanding revolving around nervous system work.
It's a broad spectrum that views life from your nervous system's perspective.
Your start to see how it works, how pain gets actually interpreted by your brain and how your body tunes in to protect you. How your defense system can be triggered by things other than viral or bacterial intruders.
This is no magic and I have come in doubtful, but I get presented facts.
A bunch of these I would have never known as these aren't taught and the internet can be a dark place.
Nervous System work is not about positive thinking and random meditation.
Your NS is a literal System that can get hung up in their danger triggers and pull the limiter. You won't solve this with pills, that's why none of these work longlastingly and you get weird glimpses of feeling a bit better at times and then worse. Why some triggers increase your symptoms and why you feel better when you pace.
If you've gotten the tests for your symptoms done, they come out clean and doctors dismiss you-
don't fall for the dark side of the web. You're not dying. Please, please don't take the bait. I have been there and the hole is deep and it deepens with each string of negavity. Switching beliefs is difficult for the brain but don't let others that sit with you in the pit pull you down.
By now, I have met plenty that have recovered and been confined by the craziest symptoms long time- and I notice my own symptoms dying down, too. It's no miracle. It's reintroducing your Nervous System to life with time.

Technically you can collect all this information on the internet, I did join for the community.
The community is fantastic, the coaches themselves are recovered and they take you by the hand when you get lost, they're grand and definitely what I needed to dig myself out of this place. It's no random thing.

For over five years, my nervous system perceived my kids as a threat. Whenever they were with me, I became even more fatigued.

I couldn’t enjoy spending time with them because I was just hoping to get through the day. Hoping they wouldn’t argue. Hoping they’d like the food. Hoping they wouldn’t hurt themselves. Hoping they’d fall asleep quickly.

I struggled with guilt because I often reacted in ways that didn’t reflect the mom I wanted to be. I always said, “I can’t be with my kids, and I can’t be without my kids.” This inner conflict was tearing me apart.

I saw so many therapists and tried so many different therapies, but nobody could help me with this.

After only three months in the CFS Recovery program, my relationship with my kids has changed completely. I learned how to retrain my nervous system so it no longer perceives my kids as a threat.

For the first time in years, I can simply be a mom again. I’m no more fatigued when they’re with me than when I’m alone. I can now truly enjoy spending time with them. I am much more like the mom I want to be. This means the world to me.

I’m not fully recovered yet, but I’m no longer housebound. I can meet friends again, go for short bike rides, and enjoy many more foods again—including pizza, which felt impossible before.

By the time I found CFS Recovery, I had received diagnoses of ME/CFS and MCAS and had been living with severe food intolerances for over five years.

I was skeptical when I joined the program. But what I found was an honest and highly professional team that is genuinely committed to helping people recover.

The changes I’ve experienced in just three months have already been life-changing. I can’t thank the CFS Recovery team enough.

My experience with CFS Recovery has been nothing short of life-changing. It has completely shifted my perspective, from not understanding my symptoms or why they were happening to having clarity about how to respond to them and logically understand what my nervous system has been trying to communicate to me all along.

As a result, I am now able to respond much better to my sensations, even if it's only 1% on the most challenging days. I can see my progress, and I have learned to accept that recovery is imperfect. Ironically, embracing that imperfection is what makes the process feel right, and I am genuinely okay with that.

Another thing that keeps my mindset strong is having the most amazing coaches and community. Whenever my nervous system gets wobbly, they gently bring me back to my logical mind, remind me to trust the process, and help me see how far I've come.

I am incredibly grateful for everything I have learned through this program. It has given me hope, confidence, and the tools to continue moving forward, one step at a time.

I’ve had a fantastic experience in CFS Recovery. What sets it apart is the chance to attend group zoom calls to help navigate recovery each day, the commitment and availability of coaches to respond to challenges 5 days a week and also the support of community members who are on the same recovery journey.

I have absolutely zero regrets joining the program and was most definitely worth spending the money to be in it. I was a little hesitant at first, especially because I had gotten better on my own the previous year (but crashed again) and I was trying to be more conscious about spending. And learning off the free youtube channel after my last crash was already very informative. But having access to the coaches multiple times a week when feeling doubts and hearing from other people directly their own experiences about the specific things you have questions about has been SO so invaluable. Getting that reassurance throughout each phase of the journey (as our CFS brain can make us feel very emotional and forgetful) was the crutch I needed. I never expected that the feeling of connection with the community would mean so much to me as I was already not feeling that I needed it in the first place. As someone who considers herself a very self-aware person already, there was still so much I learned that not only has been helping me in my recovery, but also in life in general. The self-growth is crazy! I have made great progress in just the first 4 months I've been in the program and it feels surreal to already be in a place where I feel ready to tackle life outside my home again. And I am so grateful for the hand-holding at a distance with each phase that can feel scary to tackle. I don't believe I would have improved this quickly if not for allowing myself this support, and I am forever grateful. The confidence and trust that I've gained in myself in that short amount of time is something that is truly invaluable. I am so grateful for the friends I have made here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3

I enrolled into the CFS Recovery school program and I'm almost fully recovered because of it (last 5-10 % to go). I went from housebound to going to the gym and cycling again. The community is very supportive and positive thinking. That last part is very important in order for the nervous system to feel safe and ready for recover. Before I joined the program I was very hesitant and skeptical. Because how is it possible that the key to this so-called incurable syndrome lies in an online paid programme? Most people where I'm from, including myself, would say this is fishy. And yet it simply and undeniably works. Beware: this approach requires 100 % commitment and a LOT of effort. But the reward is priceless: living again and perhaps more fully than before. The people at CFS recovery are so nice, and they are most interested in getting your life back as fast as possible. I rarely rate 5 stars but it's
well deserved.

If you experience cfs/ long covid and you have a need for answers, support and people that can help you regulate your emotions, this is absolutely the place. The coaches are incredibly understanding and always find the right thing to say. I managed to go from close to housebound to going to the gym everyday, socializing for hours, doing school full time, etc.

Also the community is just a great group of people constantly spreading support and positivity. I made some great friends.

Goodluck on your adventure.

I joined the program in December 2025 and I found that just understanding what’s going on has really helped me. In the past six months I’ve been able to do more and yes I still have symptoms and flare ups, but I don’t see them in a negative way anymore. Also there is a weekly coaching call which is really useful to hear from other people who have the same problems as you and get answers from the coaches on what to do next. The community is very positive and is very different to a lot of the online groups you find out there which focus on the negativity of CFS.

I really have enjoyed being a part of this community and I also love the content that’s provided because it helps you to understand why you’re having symptoms and not to panic and respond well.

What stands out to me about CFS Recovery is that they have a very precise and well-thought-out system in place — nothing feels accidental. They also seem to be continuously refining and calibrating the system further.

The coaches are great! They all have been through the trenches themselves and can provide reassurance in a way that someone who hasn’t experienced this condition simply can’t.

There is a method in the “madness” of recovering from CFS and long COVID, and the CFS Recovery approach provides a structured framework not only for recovery, but also for staying recovered and thriving.

The community is also amazing, very positive, and supportive!

I’ve made great progress with their support, and I’ve also witnessed dozens of other people make significant progress and get their lives back!

You’ll thank yourself for joining. :)

It’s been about a month of expansion for me! It started with meeting up with a friend from my home town to paint pottery together and catch up on life. We had some pizza and then found an outdoor farmers market where we ended our time together shopping for crystals. Total time I was outside and drove myself was about 6 hours which is a major uplevel.
I have also been to the beach thinking I would be a lounging under the shade, but I was shocked I spent the whole time in the sun, playing in the sand, becoming a sand mermaid. To my surprise I even played capoeira with my partner for 20 minutes. He was just as shocked as I was.
My newly adopted kitten is now in his teen phase and I can actually keep up with him and his antics.
I have finally been able to stick to a skin care routine, which I wondered if I would ever be able to take care of just the basics again. Some days I wear simple make up and some days I try to push the boundaries with additional self care practices I did before I got sick.
Just a few days ago, I went on a 1 mile hike on a rocky road. It was pretty flat and took me 30 minutes, quite exhausting and I did feel a mild AP but here I am, pacing well and still doing what needs to be done around my apartment.
I also dance 2-3 songs a day and it now energizes me-before, it would debilitate me just attempting.
I managed to get myself from bed bound to semi functional within the home on my own before I joined CFS Recovery School about 6 months ago. After so much trial and error, courses, labs, and supplements, other nervous system/ chronic illness courses were way too overwhelming with data but this felt simple enough for my capacity and my results show this to be more effective.
I am slowly expanding beyond the capacity I started with and Im looking forward to expanding beyond anything Ive ever done even when healthy. I know I will.

I love this program and it is no exaggeration to say that it is saving my life! Where do I begin. First the content is set up in a really helpful way to understand what is actually happening in your body. Then there are the group calls that are so positive and supportive with everyone sharing their wins and then time for questions. It is so comforting to see you are not alone and are actually recovering alongside a big, kind community. Same goes for the space (Platform) where you can ask questions and share wins. I am learning just as much from the rest of the people as I am from the amazing coaches. The coaches and all staff members are so kind and driven to help you get to thriving health. And it feels so honest and real that they have all overcome the same challenges. They really know what they are talking about + what you talk about when you describe your struggle.
I have the privilege to be in the Platinum program which comes with additional support and it has been just incredible to have a coach I can reach out to every day if I need anything. I don't feel stuck anymore. I feel like I am finally 100% understood and see a concrete way of getting my life back and even better to thrive. I highly recommend this program!

great tips, very experienced people with great insights. helped me understand cfs and got me from being stuck in bed for 23hours every day in darknes and silence. there is also everything by cfs recovery on youtube, but here it has more structure. plus great and supportive comunity, i would say thats especialy welcome for woman. the only star misssing is for the locked slots which you have to unclock one by one each month. would be really helpfull for me in the begining if i could see it all right away. also you lose evrrything that you unlocked if you cancel the plan, which is great for busines, but not for me. but if u have money. i wouls sugest the tier i used(40$) but also the more expensive ones for more conection with coaches. they will find a way to help you heal one way or the other if u put in the work. nobody can do it for us, they can just help us find the right way for each one of us

Since joining the program 2.5 months ago, I’ve made some incredible progress. I went from being mostly couch-bound to being able to run errands, start socialising again, and return to part-time work.
The support from the community has been invaluable, and the coaches provide such great guidance, encouragement, and motivation along the way.
If you’re on the fence about joining, I highly recommend giving it a try — you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Probably the best program for CFS out there. This program is literally a cure for an "incurable" disease. It sounds weird, but it is true - at least in my experience (but also in the experience of others, as you can see). It is minimalistic, straight to the point, and life-changing. Even the free YouTube content is super high quality, and the program itself is even better.

Before I discovered CFS Recovery, I was in a really dark place. It felt like my life was completely over and there was no hope. Then I discovered the CFS Recovery YT channel. I made a lot of progress just by consuming the free content. Later, I joined the CFS Recovery School for a few months, and my recovery skyrocketed even further.

The best part? Using this approach, you will not only recover from CFS but also from problems you probably had your whole life without even realizing it. And the coaches - they are probably some of the most regulated people you will ever meet. This program is essentially a mix of brain retraining, gradual exposure therapy, a self-improvement bootcamp, and zen training - all at once.

And also - I am aware of other programs and modalities. If you are considering other brain retraining programs, I would say that CFS Recovery is probably the best one out there. It is both down-to-earth and science-based; it touches on deeper philosophical topics but doesn't go full "woo-woo" like other programs and approaches often do. Also, it is not rigid. You don't have to do any "rounds" and you don't need a strict routine. It teaches you how to flow with life and retrain your brain on the go. It teaches you adaptability and resiliency.
