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.
