In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Lenz to talk about fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and how lifestyle can play a powerful role in improving symptoms and quality of life.

We discuss what fibromyalgia is, what may contribute to it, and whether it’s possible to improve or even reach remission. We also explore how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and nervous system regulation can help you take back more control over your health.

If you or someone you love is struggling with fibromyalgia, my hope is that this conversation gives you practical strategies, a new perspective, and most importantly, hope.
