Podcasts about Fibromyalgia

In this episode, my guest is Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, distinguished professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. He is one of leading researchers in the study of how psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT can change the human brain and in doing so, be used to successfully treat various mental health challenges such as major depression, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. He explains how psilocybin induces sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition. We discuss the key components of safe and effective psychedelic journeys, the role of hallucinations, the use of eye-masks to encourage people to “go internal,” and music, as well as what effective therapist support consists of before, during and after the session (also known as integration). We discuss micodosing vs. macrodosing and how researchers control for placebo effects in psychedelic research. We also discuss the current legal landscape around psychedelic therapies. Psychedelic therapies are fast emerging as powerful and soon-to-be mainstream treatments for medical health disorders, but they are not without their risks. As such, this episode ought to be of use to anyone interested in brain plasticity, mental health, psychology or neuroscience. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

For anyone looking to ignite their fat-burning metabolism, boost their energy, and transform how they look and feel, they must start taking care of their liver. Your liver is your body's master detoxifier. It performs over 500 key functions in your body every single day. After decades of wear and tear, our livers slow down and become sluggish. Fortunately, there's a simple, all-natural solution that I recommend. It's called Liver Health Formula.   Liver Health Formula contains 12 powerful botanicals clinically proven to recharge and protect your liver at the cellular level. It helps restore your liver's detoxifying abilities. Try Liver Health Formula completely risk-free, and receive 5 FREE gifts when you order today. Just go to GetLiverHelp.com/Jockers to claim your risk-free supply of Liver Health Formula and all 5 bonus gifts.   If you've tried collagen for aging skin and haven't gotten the results you want... It's because most collagen is missing a critical ingredient. And without this “missing link,” collagen WILL NOT WORK. With this "missing link" you can turn loose, saggy skin –– into tight, glowing, younger-looking skin! So what is that missing link I am talking about? VITAMIN C. Of course, you may know Vitamin C as a powerful immune-boosting nutrient... But did you know Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for anti-aging? You see, Vitamin C it's the "glue" that holds collagen together in your body. And if you're low in Vitamin C, well all of that collagen you're taking is pointless. And here's the thing, not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal… If you're taking Vitamin C in capsule or tablet form, you are missing out on key nutrients as they will simply pass through your body without being absorbed (you can thank your stomach acid for that). However, our friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called ‘MICELLE LIPOSOMAL' technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient! So, if your skin is looking older than you... And the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, and otherwise “old-looking” skin frustrates you… Give Purality Health's Micelle Liposomal Vitamin C a try! It's backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today!   This podcast is sponsored by our friends at Paleovalley. And they have a great new product that I've been taking every morning that is called NeuroEffect.    NeuroEffect is an organic blend of 8 different mushrooms that will fuel your brain for all-day concentration, clarity, and enhanced brain function.    I'm a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms – I take them daily to support my immune system and my brain health. But did you know that virtually every mushroom product on the market isn't actually the mushroom? It's the mycelium that they grow on grain. This means they barely contain any of the medicinal compounds that mushrooms have to offer and instead contain up to 50% starch! The grain can cause gut irritation and can interfere with the absorption of the little mushrooms they do have in it.    Paleovalley's NeuroEffect only uses whole mushrooms that are cultivated naturally and organically. They are then tested not once, but twice for quality, guaranteeing you get 2,100 mg of our neuro-supportive REAL mushrooms that have more than 26% beta-glucans ( the medicinal elements of a mushroom) in every serving, without the grains.   Paleovalley has added an organic whole coffee fruit that has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate the production of a protein vital for focus, memory, and clarity. Which means no caffeine jitters, or feeling like you need an afternoon cup of coffee.    Check out Paleovalley's Neuro Effect and use the coupon code 'JOCKERS' at checkout to get 15% off.   Dr. Jockers is being interviewed today by his good friend Dr. Rodger Murphee, AKA Your Fibro Doctor, as part of Dr. Murphee's Fibromyalgia Summit. Dr. Murphee has been helping people with functional medicine for the better part of twenty years now and is a world-renowned Fibromyalgia expert.   Fibromyalgia is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes pain and tenderness throughout the body, as well as fatigue and trouble sleeping. What advanced nutrition strategies can you employ to turn off chronic inflammation in your body?    If we're going to survive and thrive, we need to look at what we are putting into our bodies as the root cause of inflammation. Fibromyalgia isn't just something that's in your head, so if you know of someone who's suffering from it, or if you'd just like to learn more, then this episode is for you!

This week discusses heart disease, the number one killer of men and women. In addition to having a strong interest in fibromyalgia and related problems, he also has a strong interest in preventing and treating this serious condition. In this week's episode, you hear about his journey. Nearly all heart disease, the accumulation of plaque in the heart's arteries, is preventable. Still, most, including those with fibromyalgia, are unaware of this silent, lurking disease.  Last week we heard Martin Keogh, author of Naked Realities, share his journey into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which started with a heart attack. A large study showed a 65% greater risk of heart disease in those with fibromyalgia. Early identification and treatment with appropriate medications and lifestyle have proven to reverse heart disease. You will learn more about advanced lipid testing and others that can identify if you are at risk.Dr. Lenz also discusses a study about the concern many with fibromyalgia have about using statins and the worsening of their fibromyalgia symptoms.Dr. Lenz is an internist, pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician, and clinical lipidologist interested in helping those with fibromyalgia and related problems go beyond just learning to live with it and even reverse fibromyalgia. He is also the author of the book "Conquering Your Fibromyalgia: Real Answers and Real Solutions for Real Pain. " It is also available on audiobook with Dr. Lenz as the narrator.

Everyone with fibromyalgia understands how challenging it can be to explain the invisible pain and fatigue that comes with it. Despite affecting millions of people, there's still a lack of understanding and awareness about fibromyalgia. That's where the documentary "Invisible” comes in. Through personal stories and expert interviews, "Invisible" explores the impact of fibromyalgia on people's lives and the challenges caused by the lack of understanding and research. For today's episode, filmmaker Nick Demos joins Tami to discuss his feature documentary on fibromyalgia, Invisible. Nick and Tami have been waiting to do this interview ever since they began working on the film eight years ago. Not wanting to give away the ending before people could watch, a lot had to be kept secret during the production process. Now, they finally get to talk about it publicly. In this conversation, Nick and Tami talk about how Nick became involved with the making of Invisible, its evolution into a documentary about the fibromyalgia community, challenges with finding men when casting the film, how the perception of fibro as a woman's disease has contributed to the lack of research and understanding, the difficulty balancing creating a piece of art with making a film that would educate and inspire action, Nick's on-camera life-changing diagnosis, the unfairness of being discriminated against for something outside your control, why this film is vital to the fibro community, Tami's experience being a part of the film, why it was especially tricky to visually explore stories about an invisible illness, why community is essential, why Tami and Nick consider some aspects of fibromyalgia as a gift, what most surprised Nick while making the film, the truth behind the lack of research on fibromyalgia, upcoming premiere events, how Nick manages his fibromyalgia, Nick's message for you, and more. Invisible is the film that the fibro community has wanted and needed, and we know you'll love it.       Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

Her knowledge is from personal experiences, and her goal is to help others with support through her new release titled "Graceful Agony." Her book is available on Amazon in paperback and e-books and featured on fine literary book sites, with several more books to follow. For Deb, it was not just about being a survivor but about learning to thrive again while easing the path for others facing their fibro challenges.

Gigi is a brilliant TMS mind who lived through 10 years of chronic illness with no idea what was wrong with her. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome at the age of 14, it never made sense to Gigi that her myriad symptoms were always being blamed on this one genetic anomaly. As she grew, so did her symptoms. She was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, POTS, and others. Her worst symptoms of all were bladder pain and urgency, leading to a diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis and eventually leaving her bedridden at the age of 21. Luckily, Gigi's mother and best advocate found my podcast in a late night desperate search, and that's where the magic begins! Gigi has her Master's in Biology from Oxford, and we do a wonderful deep dive into what it means to struggle against new ideas when we are so imbued in the Western Medical Model and what it means to heal incredibly once those new ideas are embraced.

In 2018 the people of Ireland voted to repeal the 8th amendment and grant women access to safe and free abortions up to 12 weeks into pregnancy. Ireland was promised ‘excellent' abortion services but what is the reality 5 years on? Yesterday an independent review of abortion services was released that proposed 10 major changes to legislation. Dr Deirdre Duffy, a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Lancaster University talks to Anita about the review. As the nation prepares for the coronation, Anita Rani considers the issue of gender and sovereignty. The British people have only experienced Queenship so whilst the coronation of Charles III marks a return to the more traditional role of kingship, it's a big shift for the public. She'll be joined by Tracy Borman the author of numerous books and co-curator of Historic Royal Palaces and Professor Anna Whitehorn from City, University of London and Director of the Centre for the Study of Modern Monarchy. The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, is facing a trial over an allegation that he raped an advice columnist nearly three decades ago. Jean Carroll, who is 79, is suing Mr Trump for allegedly assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, a charge the former president has denied. The civil trial, which started yesterday, is expected to last two weeks. Amanda Taub from the New York Times joins Anita to talk about how this historical case can be brought after several decades.

Dr. Zimmerman's passion for brain health stems from his personal experiences with his wife, who, after two car accidents, discovered that she had been unknowingly suffering from symptoms similar to those of his patients. It is essential to recognize that many people have undiagnosed head injuries from accidents or sports that may be impacting their health.There are two categories of head trauma symptoms: Immediate symptoms from the time of injury, such as brain fog, headaches, mood changes, and word-find challenges. Resiliency challenges within the body, similar to autoimmune issues, where you can no longer tolerate things you used to. The brain-body connection is a two-way street and can result in various symptoms, including: Fatigue Headaches ADHD and focus issues Depression Anxiety Sleep disturbances Memory issues Trouble with word-find Evaluating brain health goes beyond imaging; we must assess functionality. Injuries can cause the brain to not connect as it should, leading to an energy crisis. The brain uses 25-30% of the body's energy, and inflammation can worsen this energy deficiency. Assessing eye movements, tracking targets, and shifting focus points can be essential indicators of brain health.Advanced testing methods, such as video oculography or video nystagmography, are recommended for a thorough evaluation. Brain injuries often make individuals more visually dominant, which means balance is greatly improved with eyes open. Simple balance testing techniques can be used to assess the brain's connection.Factors like stress can lead to poor sleep, blocking the glymphatic system - the brain's cleanup process. This results in a "toxic soup" within the brain. The worse the inflammation and energy crisis, the worse the brain's connectivity, which impacts each aspect of health.There is a direct connection between brain health and autoimmunity. Gut health is essential for healing autoimmunity, but alterations in brain health can impact gut functions like acid and enzyme production and motility. If activities like reading or computer work tire you more than physical exertion, consider testing for brain health.One Step to TakeCheck your balance with eyes open and closed on both firm and soft surfaces to get a better understanding of your brain's connectivity and health.

A couple of weeks ago on a solosode, you heard me speak about how many red light therapy companies are misrepresenting (either intentionally or not) their product's light irradiance. This has been an ongoing issue in the industry that is much more rampant that you would want to believe. On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will tell you how BioLight is going to set a new standard for product transparency in the red light therapy industry.​​Now this is not intended to be "calling out" other companies. More accurately, BioLight wants to raise the bar for its own standards and, ultimately, see a positive shift in the red light therapy industry as a whole as a ripple effect. In the end, this would only benefit consumer. I will also cover two exciting pieces of photobiomodulation research. This first study is the definition of "hot off the press," as it just dropped on 4/16! On top of that, it is a very compelling piece of research that looks into vascular photobiomodulation for spinal cord injury. ​So we get two discuss two novel topics relative to red light therapy: vascular RLT and spinal cord injuries.The second article is a review of the literature on photobiomodulation for inflammation and also acute and chronic. This ​goes into depth on a myriad of specific conditions related to pain (i.e., non-specific low back pain, post-surgical pain, knee osteoarthritis and much more). So it paints a great picture of just how much red light therapy can benefit pain of virtually all types.​Enjoy the information in this episode. My hope is that you continue to find the unfolding story of red light therapy as interesting and fascinating as I do. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) Light irradiance: (7:33) Companies aren't reporting the correct light irradiance: (12:21) Red light therapy research: (15:28) Vascular red light therapy: (22:42) Two other studies on fibromyalgia and pain: (31:48) Inflammation: (33:09) Discussion portion of the article: (38:46) Knee osteoarthritis: (40:13) Fibromyalgia: (41:23) Oral pain and inflammation: (44:02) Post-surgery pain and swelling: (44:56) Conclusions of the article: (46:13) - Research article from the episode: Systemic vascular photobiomodulation accelerates the recovery of motor activity in rats following spinal cord injury Efficacy of Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Treatment of Pain and Inflammation: A Literature Review Learn more about these topics and on how RLT can be beneficial:Nerve Injury Pain - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Today I had an amazing conversation with Dr. Anshul Gupta about Hashimoto's disease and the significant role mold toxins play in autoimmune conditions.Here are the highlights from our chat:

Dr. Anna Blessing, a Frequency Wellness Doctor discusses the power of frequency medicine and biofeedback to bring the body back into balance to control various chronic mental and physical conditions. Dr. Anna Blessing, PhD, M.Msc, B.Msc, CNC is a Frequency Wellness Doctor out of Tucson, AZ. She operates a Frequency Wellness Center called Tucson Biofeedback. There, they administer a blend of different non-invasive modalities to facilitate the body's innate healing for a number of different chronic issues. Earlier, after traditional medical approaches failed in helping her overcome years of suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, migraines, anxiety/depression and C-PTSD (trauma), Dr. Blessing set out on a path to heal herself. This led her, surprisingly, to Biofeedback and Frequency Therapies. As a result, she is now in a total remission and healed of all conditions. Additionally, she has a renewed understanding of Quantum Biophysics and Metaphysical Sciences. How it Works Dr. Blessing has an innate capacity to understand complex subjects and see the layers of patterns playing out in each person. She specializes in facilitating Trauma and Nervous System stabilization sessions through different forms of Biofeedback. These sessions work within the amygdala, limbic system and subconscious, where trauma is stored, causing dysregulation in mind and body. Due to her mastery in this form of the Healing Arts, many are able to liberate themselves from years or decades of suffering in just a few sessions. It is now becoming recognized that at least 80% of all health conditions reside within our body's stress, emotional and trauma responses, rewiring the brain and body which ultimately manifests in dis-eases of mind, body and spirit. Working with the nervous system, which includes the fascia and brain, is a key piece to healing any health challenge. Tucson Biofeedback's staff of technicians all started as patients with Dr. Blessing. Together they work with people helping them overcome chronic, previously written off, health challenges. Conditions such as: Fibromyalgia, POTS, Autoimmune Conditions, TBI's respond especially well to their approach. The success of this unique approach has attracted the attention of leading medical research clinics and hospitals. [Tucson Biofeedback – Visit her Website] • [Tucson Biofeedback – Meet the Team]

Continuing our discussion with warrior, Tessa Koller. Tessa manages a rare genetic syndrome called 22Q11.2 Deletion Syndrome which can cause heart defects, poor immune function and more. She has endured several near-death experiences including one due to long haul Covid as well as many surgeries resulting in chronic pain.

Fibromyalgia can feel like an endless taking away of things. Whether you're newly diagnosed and struggling to find your way, or you think you have it all figured out, boom, life happens. We've all had hopes and dreams that ultimately died or were taken away. Living your best life doesn't mean avoiding anything terrible happening - that's impossible. Instead, the key is knowing how to take care of yourself when life implodes. For this episode, Tami interviewed Dr. Ginevra Liptan, fibromyalgia specialist and author of The Fibro Manual and the Fibro Food Formula. While in medical school, Dr. Ginevra was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and has since devoted her career to helping other fibro patients. With all her expertise, it's easy to assume her fibro would be permanently under control, but none of us are immune from life's ups and downs. In this conversation, Tami and Dr. Ginevra discuss how Dr. Ginevra's life fell apart during the pandemic, dealing with the worst fibro flare since she first got sick, the power of reconnecting with your deeper purpose, Dr. Ginevra's drive to help people with fibromyalgia, giving yourself the grace to slowly build the pattern of accomplishing things, figuring out who you are after your diagnosis, finding meaning and direction from the pain, how Frida Kahlo has inspired Dr. Ginevra, why therapy was life-changing after her divorce, how to separate your vision from your purpose, what it was like for Dr. Ginevra to lose the Freedom Center so close to getting her divorce, the struggle to find a new identity after a life implosion, why Dr. Ginevra doesn't identify with the typical Western medical doctor-patient dynamic, the terrible experience Dr. Ginevra had when taking her son to the doctor to investigate potential fibro symptoms, her work to help other doctors improve their standard of care for fibro patients, how you can help your doctor help you, why so many primary care doctors are burned out, the magic combination of a fibromyalgia health coach with a fibromyalgia doctor, Dr. Ginevra's message for anyone dealign with a life implosion, and more. If you're struggling on your fibro journey, Tami hopes today's interview will help you feel less alone. Be kind to yourself, take advantage of every available resource, and take small steps toward your goals. Brighter days are possible, and there can be a silver lining to the clouds you face.       Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique.

 My guest says there is a complete process that generally got created to sustain and keep moving forward on my healing journey. I think it works like this. Your left brain that holds your schedule and others wants and needs of you right next to your stress and negative talk spirals is also the side that heals you completely naturally from within. When you look at or create art and get fully into that “artist brain” your right brain takes the wheel and all that stuff in the left goes quiet. It is like you go somewhere else entirely. This frees up the Left brain to do that self-healing.The path to the complete Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and CFS Cure has many little components. You get into the sub-conscious, use the right intent, and speak the truth of your perfect outcome and correct a bunch of negative tornadoes that threaten to take you into unhappy spirals. Visualizing and imagery is very effective in a doctor, drug, diet, and exercise free way to get back to your perfect health. https://abstractannessa.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

This week we will start with a multi-episode series of the interview with Tammara Rosier, an author, and ADHD coach, discussing ADHD, a condition prevalent in 25-75% of those living with fibromyalgia and related problems. The insights she shares with her clients and her book are valuable for those trying to live better with fibromyalgia and brain fog. We learn about the grid she uses with her clients to help them understand their challenges. Adults with ADHD have a peculiar relationship with time, often investing it frivolously or ineffectively. Many of us feel anxiety, guilt, or self-loathing when we think about how we use our days, resulting in more wasted energy and time. Routine tasks, like laundry and paying the bills, frustrate us. When we look at those who don't have ADHD, we wonder, Why are ordinary tasks so difficult for us to accomplish?We see our world in predictable ways. We divide our tasks into two categories—fun and not fun. The ADHD brain searches the horizon for the interesting, shiny, curious, remarkable, and exciting, and we call it all “fun.” We are captivated by fun—it affects our levels of drive, motivation, and happiness.Dr. Lenz is an internist, pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician, and clinical lipidologist interested in helping those with fibromyalgia and related problems go beyond just learning to live with it and even reverse fibromyalgia. He is also the author of the book "Conquering Your Fibromyalgia: Real Answers and Real Solutions for Real Pain. " It is also available on audiobook with Dr. Lenz as the narrator.

Having good conversations with doctors can be difficult for many fibromyalgia patients. Whether it's dealing with fibro fog or the fear of being labeled as a drug seeker, we often leave these interactions without feeling understood or confident in the action plan. So how do we have better conversations with our doctors? By finding the right practitioner and arming yourself with tools to support you during your appointment. Today Tami is joined by Dr. Andrea Chadwick to talk about current fibromyalgia research, the hallmarks of a good doctor, and simple strategies to get the most out of your doctor visits. In this episode, Tami and Dr. Chadwick discuss why she chose to work with chronic pain, the mission behind Dr. Chadwick's Fibromyalgia and Centralized Pain Exploration Lab, the overlap between fibro and other chronic pain conditions, why it's essential to tell our stories, research into how and why heat therapy helps with pain, advocacy for fibromyalgia research, the value of recording your pain journey and details of interventions you've tried, the types of conversations Dr. Chadwick has with new patients, figuring out your goals for your therapeutic relationship, how you can create space for grace, finding the version of you that works best in your fibromyalgia body, getting comfortable with moving on from a doctor who isn't a good fit, how Dr. Chadwick became involved wth Swing Care and what you can expect from their virtual clinic, the advantages of telehealth, how you can register your interest in Swing Care expanding to serve your area, Dr. Chadwick's message for people struggling to find good doctors, bonus resources you can use to make doctor visits easier, and more. Dr. Chadwick wants you to know that there's hope out there, and you can advocate for yourself to get better care. Getting better with fibromyalgia is a journey and a process. Trust the process, and more importantly, trust yourself.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique.

Iv'e recently noticed an interesting pattern in my sleep. Those days where I'm strictly low carb-high protein, I tend to wake up at 4 am regardless of what time I go to sleep. I usually go to bed at 10, but even when I went to bed at 12 - same thing happened! It's always the same time - betwwen 4 to 4:30 and from then until wake-up time I'm drowsing on and off! The other days when I'm adding carb throughout the day, my sleep is amazing! I've tried adding a little carb at night on my low carb days, sometimes a banana, sometimes even a piece of cake, but to no sucess. I take vitamin D every day both from the sun (when available) and from supplements (10000 UI). I'm 30 years old and I work out 3-4 days a week bodybuilding style. Oh and I fall asleep quite fast at night, but it's the waking up that bothers me. Hope you can help me, and waiting for your kosher certification on your LMNT's. Israel from Brooklyn   Brother's horrific fibro post op kidney transplant Longest time listener, first time caller, My brother (28 years old) suddenly went into kidney failure for no reason anyone has provided a good explanation for on Christmas Day 2019. He was on hemodialysis and then peritoneal dialysis until July of 2022. He underwent a kidney transplant from the best human among us. ‘Phase II' of his transplant included (was supposed to include) receiving stem cells from his donor post operatively, with emerging data showing reduction of anti-rejection meds with treatment. The trial was cancelled 10 days before he was supposed to participate, and who knows what happened to these stem cells. He is currently experiencing excruciating full body pains and has been diagnosed with medication induced fibromyalgia. He eats SQUEAKY clean, 5'10/160lbs but has poor tolerance to exercise because getting hot or sweating makes him itch excessively. He is nearing hopelessness due to the severity of symptoms and since his clinical trial was cancelled, will never receive those already harvested/cultured stem cells. I can't watch him suffer anymore and gratefully ask for any suggestions or referrals you could provide. You guys rock - found you guys in 2013 and it changed everything for me. Sincerely, Concerned sister   TRT Matt: Hi Robb I know you've brought up this subject in the past and chronically you experience with clomid.

In this special episode, I'm joined by Chazmith Newton,  host of the Our Power Is Within podcast. Chazmith and I both started our podcasts around the same time and have done over 100 episodes each, and so we decided to come together and share the key insights, lessons and takeaways that we've gained from speaking to the many guests that have been on our shows. There are many synergies to our stories and how our podcasts came about, so it was great to come together and have this conversation.In this episode, we discuss each of our situations regarding  our own health and how our podcasts first came about, and our shared experience surrounding how hearing success stories of people recovering can be both inspirational but also triggering, and how we've had to navigate that in doing our podcasts. We also discuss the many modalities that our guests have had recovered with, including somatic tracking, brain retraining, breathwork, etc.  We discuss the importance of having faith in divine timing, cultivating a belief that you will recover, learning to trust your body again,  seeking support, and trying to find gratitude within your journey to health. FOLLOW CHAZMITH HERE▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ourpoweriswithin▶ Website -https://www.ourpoweriswithin.comFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL▶ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheChronicComeback▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thechroniccomebackSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST▶ Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-chronic-comeback/id1533970626▶ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_BGsN1LaeL4iudgSNUw7A▶ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/71485tI9o4JPPkg1IpmDaX#ourpoweriswithin #chazmithnewton #podcasting #healing #chronicfatigue #fibromyalgia #lymedisease #chronichealth #chronicillness #thechroniccomeback #cfs #me #recoverystory

We continue the conversation with Dr. Heather Martarella, a pain psychologist. This week we discuss thought patterns that are barriers to getting relief from chronic pain. These include negativity and catastrophic thinking patterns. These are also known as pain-related cognitive distortions. We also discuss shifting from a place of acceptance to one of hope. She also shares challenges and opportunities to make the biopsychosocial spiritual model more frequently incorporated into pain management.Dr. Lenz is an internist, pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician, and clinical lipidologist interested in helping those with fibromyalgia and related problems go beyond just learning to live with it and even reverse fibromyalgia. He is also the author of the book "Conquering Your Fibromyalgia: Real Answers and Real Solutions for Real Pain. " It is also available on audiobook with Dr. Lenz as the narrator. If you have questions or topics you would like to have discussed on a future podcast, email Dr. Lenz at doctormichaellenz@gmail.com. You can also share a recording of your question.

First off, apologies from our team for the late posting, I had a sudden medical emergency myself that put me in the hospital.  But... we are back and will be posting a new episode on that incident in the near future!  Thank you for trusting us to return to show production, even if we are 30 hours late!  We are running with back to back reruns based on listeners requests.  For this week's show, let me re-introduce you to Meg Pecora from our first season in July of 2018. At the time Meg was a recent college graduate from Columbia in Chicago. Now she is a recently engaged artist with chronic pain due to Fibromyalgia.  She was approved for the Illinois medical cannabis program and discusses the process of obtaining the authorization and finally "prescription" for medical cannabis as a pain reliever.  ​ Medical marijuana uses the marijuana plant or chemicals in it to treat diseases or conditions. It's basically the same product as recreational marijuana, but it's taken for medical purposes. The marijuana plant contains more than 100 different chemicals called cannabinoids. Each one has a different effect on the body. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the main chemicals used in medicine. THC also produces the "high" people feel when they smoke marijuana or eat foods containing it. ​"The greatest amount of evidence for the therapeutic effects of cannabis relate to its ability to reduce chronic pain, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and spasticity [tight or stiff muscles] from MS," Bonn-Miller says. ​Medical marijuana received a lot of attention a few years ago when parents said that a special form of the drug helped control seizures in their children. The FDA recently approved Epidiolex, which is made from CBD, as a therapy for people with very severe or hard-to-treat seizures. In studies, some people had a dramatic drop in seizures after taking this drug.  ​The cannabidiol Epidiolex was approved in 2018 for treating seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. In addition, the FDA has approved two man-made cannabinoid medicines -- dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros) and nabilone (Cesamet) -- to treat nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy.  ​ (credits: WEBMD & Marcel Bonn-Miller Ph.D.)

Today we explore TMS and the mind/body connection that may just be at the root of your chronic pain or frustrating conditions. Studies and medical discoveries show that certain personality types are prone to suppressed emotions causing conditions such as: TMJ, Sciatica, Plantar fasciitis, Frozen shoulder, Rotator cuff injuries, Hip pain, Knee pain, Shin splints, Tennis elbow, Golfer's elbow, Tinnitus, Chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, Irritable bowel syndrome, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Migraines and tension headaches, Back pain, Neck pain, Shoulder pain, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Tennis elbow, Neuropathy, Vertigo and more.  In today's episode we discuss revolutionary concepts from books like The Body Keeps and Score and a series of books inspired by the research and healing treatment of Dr. John Sarno.    Referenced in this episode:  "The Mindbody Prescription”: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain" by John E. Sarno "The Body Keeps the Score Workbook”: Mind, Body, and Spirit Exercises for Trauma Survivors" by Bessel van der Kolk The Top 10 Health Discoveries of Dr. John Sarno” by Steve Ozanich  “All the Rage: Saved by Sarno" directed by Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley (documentary)   Bret's Mantras: My body is strong and capable of healing itself. I trust in my body's ability and I am no longer afraid of physical activities that I once enjoyed.  I am committed to exploring my suppressed emotions, repressed anger and releasing any tension that is causing my condition.  I do not need to fear painful thoughts or emotions  There is nothing structurally wrong with me .  I am grateful for my body and the ability to feel sensations, even if they are uncomfortable at times. It's normal and harmless to sometimes experience physical discomfort or pain but I will remember that sensation is a reminder to notice my emotions.  I release any fear or anxiety around my condition and replace it with trust and confidence in my body's healing abilities. I will no longer give my condition my energy or my focus.  My condition is not dangerous, so I will resume physical activities that I have been fearfully avoiding.   My physical body is miraculous and capable of overcoming anything.      Download the Patreon App and Join The Chalene Show at patreon.com/TheChaleneShow       Thank You To Our Show Sponsor Go to getsoul.com/Chalene  Check out The Sleepi Gummies and 15% off will be automatically taken at checkout       Thank you to our Sponsor!!!
