This is the first of a 3 part series discussing the role food has on fibromyalgia. Food choices have probably the most powerful impact on your overall health but are probably the most overlooked. In the three-part series, I will look at 3 studies showing a positive impact of food on fibromyalgia. I will look at why they likely work, obstacles to implementation, and pathways to getting through them.

When I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That’s why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you’ve been told fibromyalgia “isn’t real” or that it’s “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You’re not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you’ll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD.
