In this second episode, Dr. Lenz looks at 3 studies showing the impact food has on fibromyalgia. The first study used a healthy Whole Foods plant-based diet and showed a marked reduction in symptoms. The second study was randomized to a typical Western diet and a Whole Foods plant-based diet and showed significant improvement within 6 weeks. The last study used meal replacement shakes to achieve impressive weight loss and also improvement in symptoms that went beyond the expected weight-bearing joints.
Dr. Lenz is an internist, pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician, and clinical lipidologist with an interest in helping those with fibromyalgia and related problems go beyond just learning to live with to even reversing 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 where Dr. Lenz is the narrator. You can also go to Conquerinyourfibromyalgia.com to read some blogs that Dr. Lenz has done on fibromyalgia.

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.
Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn’t replace personal medical advice.*
