When your symptoms don’t make sense anymore
When your symptoms don’t make sense anymore
If you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep or symptoms that keep changing…
and nothing you try seems to work for long…
you’re not doing it wrong.
It’s usually because there are too many moving parts — and no clear way to make sense of them.
I help you figure out what actually matters, so you can stop second-guessing everything.
What's going on
You’ve probably already tried sensible things.
Improved your diet.
Changed routines.
Added or removed supplements.
Rested more.
But the overall picture still feels messy.
Symptoms overlap.
Improvements don’t last.
One change affects something else.
At some point, it stops being about effort.
It becomes about needing a clearer way to organise what’s happening.
Not sure what to do next?
If you’ve already tried a lot and nothing seems to stick, it’s easy to get stuck in a loop.
Trying things.
Second-guessing.
Starting again.
Most of the time, the issue isn’t effort.
It’s not having a clear way to simplify what’s going on.
I’ve put together a simple guide that walks you through what actually helps when things feel like this – and what to stop doing.
Read What to do when nothing seems to help.
This is where most people start when they feel stuck.
Start here: Make sense of your symptoms
A short 7-day email series to help you understand what’s going on – without adding more to your plate.
- why symptoms can feel random (but aren’t)
- why nothing seems to stick
- what to focus on first
No routines. No tracking. No overwhelm.
Just simple explanations that help you organise the picture.
How I help
I don’t give you a long list of things to try.
I help you:
- understand what’s driving your symptoms
- reduce the number of variables
- stop wasting energy on guesswork
- focus on what actually matters
So decisions feel clearer – and more manageable.
‘Most people in this position don’t need more information.
They need a way to simplify what’s going on.’
– Jo Saxton
Not sure where to begin?
Start with what feels easiest:
Meet Jo
I’m Jo Saxton.
I work with people who are used to coping – and are quietly exhausted from trying to figure this out on their own.
I have a background in science research and health communication, alongside training in functional medicine frameworks.
I’ve also spent years living alongside complex chronic illness in my own family.
So I understand both sides:
- how complicated this can be
- and how hard it is to keep going when nothing makes sense
I don’t diagnose or treat illness.
I help you organise what’s happening so you can make clearer decisions – and feel more confident about what to do next.
What clients say
Real words from exhausted people who were looking for more clarity and understanding:
‘Trying to cope with my daughter’s chronic health was affecting my own. I couldn’t see what was helping and what wasn’t. Jo helped me slow down and make a clear plan. She connected us with specialists we hadn’t found before, and helped us simplify our routines at home. My daughter is brighter and starting to improve, and I finally feel like I’m not failing her anymore.’
– Kate W.
‘I’d read so much conflicting advice online, and must have spent hours every day looking for ways to help my son. It just left me more confused and guilty because nothing was working. Jo helped me cut through all that noise. She explained how his symptoms could be linked in a way that actually made sense, and gave us practical next steps instead of overwhelming lists. That alone made such a difference in how we’ve supported his recovery.’
– Alex D.
‘Jo helped me focus on what was giving me an uneven sleep pattern and the impact this had on my overall wellbeing. Her approach for me worked so well, as I am a very practical person and working through some different but also simple changes I could make, left me feeling empowered and able to make changes which have really helped!
– Magdalen C.
