Discover why small, accessible moments in nature are a powerful, and adaptable, tool for mental well-being, especially if you are living with chronic pain, fatigue, or neurodivergence.

April:  Stress awareness month

Why do symptoms of pain and fatigue often flare up "out of nowhere"? The answer usually lies in the invisible accumulation of stress. While April is Stress Awareness Month, for our clients, managing stress is a year-round necessity for physical wellbeing. From the impact of neurodiversity to the "push-through" culture of the modern workplace, we’re breaking down why your nervous system might be overwhelmed and how a holistic approach can help you rebuild your energy and confidence.

We often talk about Autism in childhood, but what happens when the diagnosis comes decades later? And how does that diagnosis shift when you’re also managing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME)?

Here at Vitality360, we have been witnessing an emerging trend with a significant percentage of our client group who come to us as experts in fatigue and pain management are reporting suspected or diagnosed ADHD/Autism. People with ADHD and autism often report significant fatigue, a profound mental and physical exhaustion that isn’t just being “lazy” or tired. This fatigue usually comes from a combination of biological, cognitive, and environmental factors rather than any single cause.

In this blog, we look at key reasons this happens, focusing on shared characteristics as well as those unique to ADHD or autism.
