Podcasts about Fibromyalgia

This week I'm sharing a conversation that could completely shift how you think about healing from trauma and chronic illness. My guest Lisa Erickson went from tech worker to energy healer after her own health crises showed her something profound: when we're dealing with trauma or chronic illness, we often disconnect from our bodies as a survival mechanism. But that same disconnection can block our healing.Lisa breaks down how chakras work as the organs in your energy anatomy, bridging your physical body, emotions, and spirit. What I love about her approach is how practical it is - you don't need to be "woo woo" or spend hours meditating. She shows you how to link simple energy practices to things you already do, like brushing your teeth.We dive deep into why the root chakra at your tailbone is the foundation for all healing (hint: it's connected to your immune system and adrenals), and she maps out how each energy center connects to specific body systems and healing opportunities.This isn't about bypassing medical care - it's about adding another layer of support that helps you feel safe in your body again.

After 38 years as a primary care physician, Dr. Gary Sprouse noticed his stressed patients all knew they wanted less stress, but couldn't tell him where they wanted to be instead. This led him to develop his revolutionary "happy place" framework that's helping people transform their relationship with worry and anxiety. In this week's episode I dive deep into Gary's unique approach: why our greatest human skills create stress as side effects, the universal architecture of happiness, and his game-changing "shoebox method" for managing overwhelm. Gary gives us practical tools to transform worry into planning and build resilience in our anxiety-inducing modern world. As someone working with autoimmune conditions, I see how chronic stress impacts healing and how powerful it is when people learn to build their happy place.For the complete show notes, links and transcripts visit: inspiredliving.show/203

The next Voice for our Scars of Gold campaign, is the lovely soul that is Clare. Clare talks us through her experience of being diagnosed, and living with Fibromyalgia, and Endometriosis. Clare shares how tricky it was to have doctors take her pain seriously, particularly as someone who struggles with her mental health, often having organic physical symptoms brushed off as anxiety. Clare speaks on the medical gaslighting she has experienced, and the mental and physical toll having to fight to be heard takes on a person, on top of these already debilitating diagnosis'. Clare also shares about her life as a young carer, for her mum with MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) - a rate neurological condition. She talks us through navigating this challenging time in her life, while also experiencing her own chronic health symptoms/conditions. Clare's story is informative, touching, and a powerful insight into living with multiple chronic health conditions. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of self advocacy - especially for young people (particularly those with mental health conditions) who are so often dismissed. Thank you Clare for being another fantastic Voice for our Scars of Gold Campaign! Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign sharing the voices of 100 women facing their mortality at a young age with life changing or incurable health conditions.

Living The Full Life with Dr. Juan

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with pioneering integrative medicine practitioner Dr. Jacob Teibelbaum.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author, details preventive measures and treatments for cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. He covers a wide range of topics, including the impact of conventional medications, natural supplement alternatives, dietary interventions, the role of exercise, and the importance of addressing underlying health issues like thyroid problems and metabolic syndrome. Dr. Teitelbaum emphasizes practical and low-cost approaches, and he offers listeners detailed resources and guidance.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of the “Move Fibro Forward” campaign by Tonix Medicines, Inc., the company's commercial subsidiary. This initiative aims to raise awareness, offer support, and bring greater visibility to the millions of individuals affected by fibromyalgia—a chronic and often misunderstood pain disorder that has seen no new FDA-approved treatments in more than 15 years. Fibromyalgia impacts an estimated 10 million adults in the U.S., with approximately 90% of those affected being women. The condition is believed to result from amplified pain and sensory processing in the central nervous system, leading to widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances. Dr. Lederman emphasized that many people with fibromyalgia have endured their condition in silence, often without adequate recognition or treatment options. “We believe that acknowledging the reality of their experience, validating their suffering, and showing empathy is a vital step toward real progress,” he said.

There aren't enough stories out there of people who have fibromyalgia and who have found ways to feel better. Many of our doctors tell us there's nothing we can do, and it's not uncommon to hear about how terrible life with fibromyalgia is. But while it can be debilitating, it's not a life sentence. There's always something else you can try to manage your fibromyalgia symptoms. Life adjustments will have to be made, but feeling better is absolutely possible, and all of our students have experienced this for themselves. After taking the Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor® program, graduates see an average of 50% improvement in their symptoms, and after taking the Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® program, are often nearly symptom-free. Most fibromyalgia medications only offer 15-30% improvement, if they work for the individual at all. Today, in the eleventh installment of our Stories of Hope and Healing, you're going to hear the stories of four recent graduates, as told by them. For this class, the Advisor students showed an average improvement of 66%, while our Coach students achieved scores that align with what some people consider remission. In this episode you'll hear about how Jeannette overcame perfectionism and what she did to pace herself, why Jeannette wanted to become a coach, what she's learned from both client wins and challenges, the tools and strategy that most helped Jeannette improve her Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) score, Jeannette's ideal coaching clients, her advice for perfectionists just starting their healing journey, why Shelly chose community and coaching for her fibromyalgia journey, how her coach, Kim, helped her learn to manage her pace and setbacks, how Shelly achieved a 59% FIQR improvement through small, sustainable changes, Shelly's advice for listeners who feel overwhelmed, what it was like for Jacqui to start the class during her worst fibro flare, the major differences in Jacqui's life before and after coaching, the specific steps Jacqui took with her coach around medication, nutrition, and mindset, what inspired Jacqui to become a coach and help other fibromyalgia patients, Lauren's experience being diagnosed during the pandemic and with two young children, Lauren's two-year journey of gradual healing and the long-term strategies that made a difference, success stories from Lauren's clients, how Lauren supports mothers of neurodivergent children, Lauren's encouragement for moms navigating both fibromyalgia and caregiving, how you can get support on your fibromyalgia journey, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

If you've been avoiding medicinal mushrooms because you're worried about immune stimulation, this conversation will change your mind. I talk with naturopathic doctor and mushroom expert Dr. Anna Sitkoff about how most medicinal mushrooms actually promote immune balance and tolerance.Anna explains how mushrooms support autoimmune healing on multiple levels: feeding beneficial gut bacteria, reducing pathogen load, and calming the nervous system. She shares which mushrooms work best for specific conditions, quality markers to look for when shopping, and why reishi is called the "mushroom of immortality."This episode opened my eyes to how these powerful healing allies can support our bodies naturally without overstimulating our already reactive immune systems.For the complete show notes and links visit inspiredliving.show/202

Living The Full Life with Dr. Juan

As a master Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, author, and fibro podcaster, the questions I'm asked more than any others are: How do I get better? How do I improve my Fibromyalgia so I can get back to living the life I want to live? While those sound like simple questions, they do not have simple answers. We all have similar symptoms, what helps you feel better may not be the thing that helps me feel better. We all have to find our own magic formula for what makes us feel best. I know from personal experience just how overwhelming it can be to find that formula on your own. That's why I created a training program in 2015 that would teach people just like you how to improve their own Fibromyalgia, and how to help others do the same. In this first episode of a special series where I'll be answering a lot of questions I get about our Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor® class and about becoming a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, I want to start super basic. We're going over what a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® is, how that's different from a Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor®, why you should consider the Advisor class if you're a patient who just wants to feel better, who else the Advisor class is perfect for, what the certification aspect really means, the staggering statistics on how many participants see significant improvements in their symptoms by the end of the Advisor class.       Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

In this episode, Einat Shinar and I dig into why sleep is the game changer for women's health—especially when it comes to weight, hormones, and inflammation.

Einat shares simple, science-backed habits to reset your cortisol and circadian rhythm, like morning sunlight and mindful eating with protein pacing. We also dive into sleep challenges during perimenopause and menopause, plus a clever mental trick called “cognitive shuffling” to help you fall back asleep quickly.

Welcome back. It's finally becoming more accepted to talk about emotional healing in the context of chronic illness—but in this episode, we're going even deeper.In this podcast, I explore why authenticity is not just a nice idea—it's a crucial part of your healing journey. Whether you're navigating ME/CFS, Chronic Lyme, Fibromyalgia, Long COVID, or MCAS, this is your invitation to reconnect with your true self.One of the most powerful—and misunderstood—gateways to that self? Anger.By reintegrating anger, we don't just reclaim boundaries. We unlock creativity, humanness, real sexuality, and a deeper sense of aliveness. In a world where chronic illness is rising, AI is accelerating, and people are becoming more robotic, this kind of inner fire is more needed than ever.

“Listening to your body is one of the key things you need to do to make everything else work.” Over the past ten years of teaching people about fibromyalgia, Tami has seen certain issues repeatedly come up that get in the way of the healing journey. Last week, during our Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® training class, a student raised an important question about how we identify these issues when we have a client who isn't improving as we would like them to. The more you learn about fibromyalgia, the more aware you are of tools that could help you and why your symptoms may not be improving. At the same time, some less obvious issues often go unnoticed but must be addressed to make progress. Things like working with a doctor who doesn't quite know what to do with us, being in a season of life that doesn't allow us to prioritize ourselves, or unconscious trauma responses that block us from making the changes we need to. In today's episode, Tami is sharing the top three hidden reasons why your fibromyalgia symptoms might not be improving. She discusses why not listening to your body can block healing (whether or not it's unintentional), the key difference between consciously ignoring your body and being unaware of what it needs, the benefits of writing your body's owner's manual, how trauma can make it harder to manage your symptoms, acknowledging that rest and awareness are essential for healing, how undiagnosed or undertreated health conditions can get in the way of your healing journey, underlying conditions that Tami had to address as a part of her fibro journey, advocating for yourself and finding medical professionals who listen, how fibromyalgia amplifies other sources of pain, the importance of being realistic and managing expectations, why some people may not be ready, willing, or able to do the work required for improvement, when it's okay not to do the work, support for those facing financial or geographic limitations, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

Dr. Osansky shares how stress can exacerbate autoimmune conditions and why managing stress is crucial for recovery. We also explore natural approaches to treatment, including dietary changes and herbal supplements. Plus, he emphasizes the importance of identifying personal triggers that may impact thyroid health. Whether you're navigating thyroid issues or simply seeking more knowledge, this episode equips you with practical insights and tools for your healing journey.

In this very personal and insightful episode of The MindHealth360 Show, Ashok Gupta – internationally renowned health practitioner and creator of the Gupta Program – joins us to discuss how brain retraining can reverse chronic illness and heal the nervous system. Gupta shares the powerful story behind the creation of his program, which he developed after suffering from ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) as a student at Cambridge University. Through his own neurological research and treatment plans, Gupta achieved full recovery and has since helped thousands of others do the same.  Kirkland Newman shares her own journey through mould toxicity, nervous system dysregulation, and severe neurological symptoms, and how the Gupta Program – recommended to her by Dr. Neil Nathan – was instrumental in her recovery. Together, they explore how chronic stress, trauma, and environmental triggers can lead to maladaptive brain responses that keep the body stuck in illness, and how brain retraining offers a path to healing.  In this compelling episode, Gupta explains the science behind his program, its origins, and how it helps people with conditions such as ME/CFS, CIRS, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia, long COVID, mould illness, anxiety, and other neurological and mental health conditions. He also reflects on the broader implications of neuroplasticity and the mind-body connection in the treatment of chronic disease.  In this episode you will learn about:  How Ashok Gupta developed the Gupta Program after healing from chronic fatigue syndrome during his time at Cambridge University.  The role of brain retraining in reversing neurological and mental health symptoms caused by an inflammatory and immune response driven initially by toxins and pathogens, and leading to a dysregulated nervous system and chronic symptoms Why chronic illness is often rooted in a “trauma loop” within the brain's limbic system.  How the Gupta Program uses neuroplasticity to interrupt maladaptive patterns and rewire the brain toward healing.  Why environmental triggers like mould can activate a dysfunctional threat response in the brain.  How Ashok Gupta's recovery journey led to the creation of a structured, evidence-based program that has helped thousands of people globally.  A firsthand account from host Kirkland Newman on how the Gupta Program helped relieve her symptoms of tremors, anxiety, fasciculations, and more.  The importance of viewing chronic illness through the lens of the brain-body connection, and the role of hope and empowerment in recovery.   

In this special bonus episode, Tami is sharing a recent guest appearance she made on the Manders Mindset podcast hosted by Amanda Russo. Also known as The Breathing Goddess, Amanda is a Breathwork Detox Facilitator, Transformative Mindset Coach, and Divorce Paralegal.
