This promotion ends tomorrow! Get yours at https://berberineandliverboost.mswnutrition.com/  EPISODE SUMMARY Struggling with fibromyalgia? What you eat matters. In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals five common trigger foods that worsen fibromyalgia symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog. Learn why processed sugars, dairy, refined oils, nightshade vegetables, and legumes create inflammation in your nervous system, and discover healthier alternatives that support your body instead of harming it. Transform your fibromyalgia management through dietary changes. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Processed Sugar and Carbs Fuel Inflammation – MSG and aspartame found in processed foods directly trigger fibromyalgia flare-ups by increasing nervous system inflammation. Swap these for whole fruits, sweet potatoes, and raw cane sugar with cinnamon. Dairy Creates Digestive Inflammation – Casein in dairy products causes gut inflammation that worsens fibromyalgia symptoms. Replace with coconut milk, almond milk, and ghee as healthier alternatives. Refined Vegetable Oils Are Hidden Inflammatory Triggers – Canola, soybean, and corn oils are highly inflammatory. Switch to avocado oil, olive oil, and grass-fed butter for cooking and dressing. Nightshade Vegetables Contain Harmful Lectins – Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and mushrooms have anti-nutrients that damage your digestive tract and block mineral absorption. Choose cruciferous vegetables like broccoli instead. Legumes May Worsen Gut Health – Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peanuts contain lectins that create digestive inflammation and gas. If you can't eliminate them, soak or boil them to reduce lectin content, or choose sauerkraut for fiber.

Ever wonder why you can't stop craving sugar and carbs no matter how hard you try? It's not about willpower; it's about the wrong bacteria controlling your gut. Paul Barattiero, founder of Echo Water and pioneer in hydrogen therapy, reveals the shocking truth behind those relentless food cravings. Your gut should naturally produce 10-12 liters of hydrogen gas daily through proper fermentation, but most of us are nowhere near that. In this conversation, Paul shares how he accidentally discovered hydrogen water while desperately trying to heal his wife's severe health issues. What he found changed everything: 96% of your gut bacteria need a specific electrical environment to thrive, and when they don't get it, the wrong bacteria take over - literally controlling what you crave. I dive deep into the science behind why your microbiome needs negative electrical potential, how hydrogen water creates the perfect terrain for healing, and why you might finally be able to eat foods you've been avoiding for years. This isn't another wellness trend… We're talking about 1,500+ studies and real solutions for chronic inflammation and autoimmunity!For the complete show notes, links and transcripts visit inspiredliving.show/215

Have you ever wished people could truly understand what fibromyalgia feels like, or what it's like to live with a condition that never really goes away? You are not alone. Explaining fibromyalgia to the people you love is one of the hardest parts of living with an invisible illness. From the outside, you might look perfectly fine, but inside, you feel like you've been run over by a truck. It's even harder when your symptoms change from day to day. You might manage errands or a social event one day and need to rest the next, leaving people confused or questioning what's going on. Trying to explain that experience to someone who has never experienced chronic pain feels impossible. Today, Tami is sharing tools you can use to make these difficult conversations a little easier without wearing yourself out in the process. Using the right strategies and language can make a world of difference. Whether it's a simple analogy, a short story that captures the daily challenges, or setting clear boundaries around what you can and can't explain, these conversations can make all the difference in whether you feel supported or alone. In this episode, Tami shares why fibromyalgia is so hard to explain, how its invisibility, fluctuating symptoms, and emotional weight affect daily life, simple, relatable analogies others without chronic pain can relate to, the power of using tactile demonstrations to show pain and sensitivity, the Spoon Theory and other analogies to explain daily limits, sharing books and other media to educate others, how you can use stealth tactics to help your loved ones understand what you're experiencing, understanding the three circles of trust, setting boundaries and learning to say no without guilt, resources that help with explaining fibromyalgia to children, how growing up with a family member with a chronic illness can teach empathy and resilience, choosing the right time and place to have these fibro conversations, accepting imperfect help and building a supportive team, why you need to create a flare survival plan, how professionals and coaches can help to improve your quality of life, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique. The information you learn in this episode should be shared and discussed with your own healthcare providers. Join us for the Living Well with Fibromyalgia Summit: Holiday Edition. This is a completely free, 10-day virtual event happening October 13th through 24th, designed to help you navigate the holidays with less pain and more joy.

Barb from Canada shares her 26-year journey with fibromyalgia, which began with chronic pain and a lengthy struggle for a diagnosis. Initially, she explored various treatments, including conventional medications like Oxycontin and alternative therapies, but found limited relief. After learning about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) from the fibromyalgia community, she sought a doctor willing to prescribe it. After changing family doctors, Barb encountered a new physician who did not believe in fibromyalgia and refused to prescribe LDN. However, through the LDN Research Trust, she found a supportive doctor who offered remote consultations. Since starting LDN in April, Barb experienced remarkable improvements in energy and quality of life within three weeks, allowing her to engage in activities she had long avoided. Her transformation has surprised both her and her family, leading others to inquire about her treatment.

Hey, friends! It's your Coach, Tami Stackelhouse, with some exciting news.

In this episode of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with Dr. Bruce Gillis about chronic immune system disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, interstitial cystitis, and long COVID. Dr. Gillis shares how his research overturned decades of stigma by proving these conditions are objectively measurable through immune system testing and DNA genomic signatures. The conversation explores the role of epigenetics in disease development, the link between coronaviruses and long COVID, and the discovery of a microbiome-modulating compound that reduces symptoms. Listeners will gain validation, clarity, and practical insights into how accurate diagnosis and targeted therapies can improve quality of life. Dr. Bruce Gillis is a physician-scientist and public health expert whose career spans clinical medicine, research, and academic leadership. After earning his MD from the University of Illinois College of Medicine and his MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health, he completed two residencies and two fellowships before joining the faculty at Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and the University of Illinois. His early work focused on environmental health and toxic exposures, including oversight of the Alaskan oil spill cleanup and aerospace medicine projects. Dr. Gillis later turned his focus to chronic immune system disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, interstitial cystitis, and long COVID. Through groundbreaking research, his team identified specific white blood cell dysfunctions and unique DNA genomic signatures that objectively prove fibromyalgia and related disorders are real, diagnosable conditions. He pioneered the development of the FibroTest, an FDA-reviewed diagnostic blood test now covered by Medicare and many insurers, and continues to study therapeutic compounds that support microbiome health and improve symptom management.   Episode Timeline  00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Podcast focus on aging youthfully; Gillian introduces Dr. Gillis and chronic immune disorders.  05:51 – Dr. Gillis' Journey From rural upbringing to Harvard MD/MPH; work in environmental health, aerospace, and proving fibromyalgia is real.  08:44 – What Are Chronic Immune Disorders? Definitions, stigma, and why current drugs only mask symptoms.  12:17 – Epigenetics & Long COVID How environmental triggers and coronaviruses drive epigenetic DNA changes linked to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.  16:40 – Blood-Based Diagnostics Immune system testing, identification of protein deficiencies, and discovery of unique DNA genomic signatures.  18:56 – Comparing Conditions How fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and interstitial cystitis differ yet share immune dysfunction.  25:34 – Better Diagnostics for Interstitial Cystitis Blood tests prove 11x more accurate than invasive cystoscopy.  27:15 – Therapies & Lifestyle Nutrition, hydration, and discovery of the mycobacterium-derived compound Imbics that supports microbiome health.  34:40 – Future Directions Expanding research into long COVID and other chronic conditions; improving management, not curing DNA changes.  Download your gifts: Mind and Memory Boosting Strategies Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch Email: askdrgill@gmail.com Subscribe to Growing Older Living Younger on your favorite podcast platform and leave a review to help others discover the show.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the latest approaches to healing your body from mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and other complex, chronic health conditions. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for over 50 years and has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a Founding Diplomate of ISEAI. He has written several books, including "Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks."  He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject which led to the publication of his eBook, "Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment, 2016" (now updated to 2022), and then to his best-selling book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Chronic Environmental Illness."  2021 saw the publication of "Energetic Diagnosis," a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as an aid to both diagnosis and treatment of medical illness.  In 2024, his book "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide" was released with a focus on how to approach the treatment of sensitive patients.  And most recently, in late 2025, the second edition of his book "Toxic" was released with several years of new information and insights on healing from complex chronic conditions.  Dr. Nathan has been treating chronic complex medical illnesses for 30 years now, and Lyme disease for the past 20 years.  As his practice has evolved, he finds himself increasingly treating the patients who have become so sensitive and toxic that they can no longer tolerate their usual treatments, and his major current interest is in finding unique ways of helping them to recover. Key Takeaways: Is Long COVID the Great Unmasker? Is POTS an underlying cause or is it a symptom? How might the Radiance Long Hauler testing be helpful? What supplements or botanicals may be helpful for those in a Cell Danger Response? Are hormones generally well-tolerated when one is in a Cell Danger Response? When might be the right time to introduce PC?  VIP? What are the more common sensitizers of a sensitive patient? What are the more common drivers of MCAS? What are some strategies for modulating the inflammatory response? Is MCS the same as MCAS? Should limbic retraining be more active? How often are mycotoxins seen in patients with Alzheimer's? Does HLA-DR impact a patient's recovery potential? How do you handle a suspected mold illness patient when their urine mycotoxin testing is negative? What is the best binder for mycophenolic acid?  Chaetoglobosin? Do the benefits of bentonite clay outweigh the potential risks? What is the source of gliotoxin in the body? How is the treatment of fungal colonization approached? What role have Actinobacteria and endotoxins played in treating patients? Can Bartonella be treated with natural antimicrobials alone? Does treating mold and Lyme improve EDS? Can secondary porphyria be an indication that the antimicrobial is working? What is the role of EMFs in chronic illness? How large of a factor are parasites? Do mold and Lyme contribute to ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, autism, and PANS/PANDAS? What is the role of nitric oxide in recovering health?

“You don't have to do it all this holiday season. Do the things that matter most to you.” - Tami Stackelhouse The holidays can be a difficult time of year for people living with fibromyalgia. Between shopping, cooking, decorating, family gatherings, and endless to-do lists, it's easy to push yourself too far and end up in a massive fibro flare. You want to show up for the people you love, but your body will remind you that there's only so much you can give. Luckily, a memorable holiday season doesn't just come from doing everything you've always done. Instead, it should be about doing what matters most. By learning to prioritize, pace yourself, and let go of the “shoulds,” you can create a season that's joyful and supportive of your health instead of draining it. As we head towards the holidays, take your time, slow down, choose what feels right for you, and give yourself permission to rest without guilt. In this episode, Tami talks about why it's time to start thinking about navigating the holiday season, balancing energy and prioritizing what matters, planning buffer/recovery days before and after events, fibro-friendly food strategies, tips for eating safely, setting boundaries, mindset shifts for a less stressful holiday, time-savers to reduce stress this holiday season, why you should think ahead about dressing for comfort and creating a sensory-friendly environment for yourself, the impact of focusing on meaningful decorations and simplifying your holiday decor, the importance of accepting help, prioritizing joy over holiday “shoulds,” letting go of old traditions and creating new ones, and more. You'll also get a sneak peek into the upcoming Living Well with Fibromyalgia Summit: Holiday Edition, featuring talks from Certified Fibromyalgia Coaches® on areas like balancing commitments, setting boundaries, and creating joyful new traditions.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

I'm busting the biggest autoimmune myths with Dr. Cory Rice, who went from solving cold cases in forensics to solving the puzzle of autoimmune disease. This isn't your typical "manage your condition" conversation - we're talking about actual reversal and why these conditions aren't rare anymore (affecting 1 in 10 people!). Dr. Rice explains why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, why women are disproportionately affected, and reveals his mandatory gut testing approach that's helping patients reclaim their lives. If you've been told there's no hope or you just need to "manage" your autoimmune condition, this episode will change your perspective completely.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/212

The discussion is anchored around a comprehensive review from the Mayo Proceedings and explores why opioids, despite being widely prescribed, are not effective for fibromyalgia patients and may even be harmful. The podcast also covers the mechanisms of fibromyalgia, how it differs from other pain disorders, and why alternative treatments such as FDA-approved medications, exercise, sleep management, and cognitive behavioral therapy are more effective. Listeners are encouraged to seek professional medical advice before making any changes to their treatment plans.00:00 Introduction to Opioids and Fibromyalgia01:23 Understanding Fibromyalgia and Opioid Use03:18 Medical Guidelines and Opioid Efficacy05:39 Neuroimaging Insights and Opioid Hyperalgesia07:28 Expert Opinions and Alternative Treatments08:28 Reasons for Continued Opioid Prescriptions09:27 Psychological and Social Factors10:26 Moving Forward: Multidisciplinary Care12:14 Guidance for Current Opioid Users16:24 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Support the showWhen I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

I'm obsessed with this conversation. Hali Laricey taught me how to read my CBC with differential like a detective - and you probably already have years of these sitting in your patient portal right now. Those "normal" labs everyone dismisses? They're actually hiding specific patterns that can predict autoimmune flares months before symptoms hit. Hali breaks down the exact functional ranges for neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes that reveal bacterial loads, viral activity, and chronic infections like EBV. This isn't about ordering expensive specialty tests - the CBC with differential is available anywhere and costs almost nothing. If you've been told your labs are normal but you still feel terrible, this episode will give you the tools to have empowered conversations with your healthcare team.For the full show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/207

When she was growing up in conservative, evangelical rural Minnesota, she knew. When she was excelling at sports, giving and receiving body slams and folding chair hits as a pro wrestler, she knew. Even when she married a woman while still living as a man, Denise knew that she was female. Denise figured it was either suicide or take action to live her truth and fully transition. With her debut special, Bougie on a Budget, now streaming on Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime, Denise opens up her gender journey and the joys and challenges she faced along the way. She reveals that her standup career took off when she acknowledged her transgender status on stage.
