GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro are all the rage right now. Originally marketed as drugs to help diabetics with insulin resistance, they were later discovered to help people lose weight. With those possibilities, GLP-1 meds are positioned to revolutionize health in the US since about two-thirds of the population is either overweight or obese and at risk for conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But there's been another new discovery—GLP-1 medications also have anti-inflammatory properties. Several different studies have since shown that GLP-1 medications help to reduce inflammation in the liver, kidneys, heart, and even the brain (which is of particular interest to fibromyalgia patients). Today, Tami is joined by rheumatologist Dr. Isabelle Amigues to talk about GLP-1 medications and how they can potentially help those of us with fibromyalgia. In this episode, Tami and Dr. Amigues discuss the unusual way Dr. Amigues is incorporating GLP-1 medications in her practice, what you need to know about GLP-1 medications, the anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1 medications and the implications, the link between inflammation and adipose tissue, the potential impact of GLP-1 medications on aging-related complications and inflammatory conditions, GLP-1 medications as a tool to get you over the final hurdle to fibromyalgia remission, utlizing mindful eating to help you make better food choices, tapping into the virtuous cycle of weight loss, breaking the stigma and releasing the judgment around our weight, factors to consider before taking GLP-1 medication, who should avoid these medications, putting the horror stories of bad experiences and side effects into context, next steps if you'd like to consult with your doctor about taking a GLP-1 medication, why it's crucial to work with a qualified specialist, the affordability of GLP-1 medications medications, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

“You can only truly heal once you've accepted what's going on.” - Dr. Isabelle Amigues When you're able to reflect on your fibromyalgia as a teacher, you stop fighting your body and put yourself in the best position to heal. Tami often describes fibromyalgia as the biggest gift life has given her. It's a sentiment that can be difficult to understand when you're struggling with getting through each day, but there are things you can do to move forward on your fibromyalgia healing journey. For too many of us, when we received our fibromyalgia diagnosis, the doctor simply gave us the news and sent us on our way. What is omitted in that process is the fact that several rheumatological conditions can occur alongside fibromyalgia, and by treating those, you may experience significant relief. If you've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and your treatment is not working well, that's a sign that something else may be going on. Today, Tami is joined by rheumatologist Dr. Isabelle Amigues to talk about her journey from doctor to patient and why it's crucial to have the correct diagnosis. In this episode, Tami and Dr. Isabelle discuss Dr. Isabelle's struggle with early parenthood and recognition she was feeling sad and unfulfilled in her life, her stage three breast cancer diagnosis and how it changed her approach to medicine, reframing cancer as a gift that's here to teach her something, why her diagnosis taught her to live with meaning and intention, the self-love that came out of Dr. Isabelle's cancer journey, looking at fibromyalgia as a teacher and why Tami believes it's the biggest gift life has given her, Dr. Isabelle's appreciation for her patients and why it's important to her to empower them, why she created a holistic practice, common conditions associated with fibromyalgia, symptoms that suggest something else may be happening in addition to your fibromyalgia, challenges patients face when seeking a proper diagnosis, why it's often a good idea to have at least one visit with a rheumatologist, Dr. Isabelle's message for you, finding the right doctor for you, a doctor's role as a coach, listening to what your body needs, and more.       Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist with a speciality in rheumatology. She has trained both in Paris, France as well as Columbia University, in New York City. She is based in Denver, CO. She is the author of multiple book chapters and scientific articles in rheumatology. At age 40, in the midst of an existential crisis, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative methods, and now that she has studied many of them she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine. She has her own podcast called UnabridgedMD available on all the usual podcast platforms and youtube. Her website is www.UnabridgedMD.com She can be found on Twitter at @unabridgedMD or Facebook and Instagram at UnabridgedMD.
