Jaspar’s childhood was dominated by chronic fatigue syndrome. Once a healthy, active boy he contracted glandular fever age 9 which left him bedridden for 6 weeks. A year later CFS hit hard. For the next 6-7 years he attempted homeschooling, but due to limited energy levels and severe brain fog, it wasn’t very successful.

Life improved during adulthood as he developed a better understanding of his body, how to manage his stress levels and discovered many different tools to support his physical and mental health. Today Jaspar is an endurance athlete and qualified personal trainer!

He does still experience relapses, often triggered by stress. In the video he reveals some of his stress management techniques as well as strategies he used to keep him feeling positive and upbeat during his childhood and teens with chronic fatigue syndrome.
