Episode 21 - Anti-inflammatory Anti-diet
Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast to get updates.

This episode continues education on self-management of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. Food and nutrition are an essential part of your well-being. Proper nutrition is also essential if you have autoimmune diseases, like lupus or RA, or other chronic disorders.

I like to break down problems into logical, doable sections that can be tackled using the power of knowledge while acknowledging that we are humans with the human brain and emotions. I also like to think of the root cause of our problems - like weight gain and obesity - it may be a different reason for many people, so forcing the same diet will not work on everyone, and the outcome will be different.
So I teach a 5 step solution that I adopted from many sources; I don't claim that it is my original idea, but separating the approach to eating into these steps lets me think of tackling the problem more effectively, and I need structure. 

So the steps of my program are:  remove, replace, repair, remain, and relax. 

Remove foods you do not want in your diet. Replace them with nutrition, repair digestion/gut, remain committed to this lifestyle change, and relax - work on sleep and relaxation, calm your dysregulated nervous system. 

Today I will talk about step one: remove.

This episode continues education on self-management of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. Food and nutrition are an essential part of your well-being. Proper nutrition is also essential if you have autoimmune diseases, like lupus or RA, or other chronic disorders.

When it comes to nutrition and dietary changes, many people aim to be perfect – perfect diet, follow all the rules, but often start making decisions based on self-criticism and self-loathing, not love. It is hard to maintain motivation with negative self-talk. This episode examines the roots of perfectionism, self-loathing, and their effect on your diet success.

This episode continues education on self-management of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. Food and nutrition are an essential part of your well-being. Proper nutrition is also essential if you have autoimmune diseases, like lupus or RA, or other chronic disorders. 

During the last episode, I mentioned the harmful effects of sugar on the nervous system and fibro symptoms. I get a lot of questions about sugar.
So this episode is dedicated to sugar. It is actually a module from my course on nutrition, Mindful Eating for Autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia (https://www.rheumcoach.com/mindfuleatingwaitlist). So instead of re-recording it for the podcast, I am sharing with you this entire module - audio as podcast and video with slides on YouTube. It is packed and covers information on sugar, its effects on the development of the disease of both adults and children, sugar addiction, and fatty liver disease. This episode will provide information for anyone, not just people with pain, so please share with your friends and loved ones.   If you have any questions or comments, please email me; you can find my email in the show notes.

This episode continues education on self-management of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. Food and nutrition are an essential part of your well-being. Proper nutrition is also essential if you have autoimmune diseases, like lupus or RA, or other chronic disorders.

This episode starts the discussion of how the nervous system and gut influence each other.

Episode 16 - Fibromyalgia Pain Science Education -   Catastrophizing pain and symptoms
Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast.

This episode continues pain science education of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain. 

Today we are talking about catastrophizing thoughts,  what they are, why you have them, how they affect pain and fibro, and how you can unlearn this way of thinking.  

Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that prompts people to jump to the worst possible conclusion, usually with very limited information or objective reason to lose hope. 

When a situation is upsetting but not necessarily catastrophic, they still feel like they are in the midst of a crisis.

Everyone has negative thoughts. But for some people, negative thinking can spin out of control and out of proportion to the reality of a situation. A relatively small error, disappointment, or source of embarrassment (or even the possibility of one), a lab result, a symptom, or a diagnosis - can sometimes become a cause for significant fear or distress— a catastrophe in one's mind.

Catastrophizing is a very common behavior in someone who has chronic pain. 

Pain catastrophizing has been proven to worsen pain, increase disability, decrease functioning, and worsen mental health.

Episode 15 - Men & Fibromyalgia. It is real. Underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast.

Although fibromyalgia affects more women, about 10% of fibromyalgia patients are men. I think it is underreported and underdiagnosed.
This episode covers how fibromyalgia symptoms differ in men and women. Then we will discuss the impact of Fibro on men's lives, relationships, and interactions with their healthcare providers.
Often, feelings of shame, embarrassment, and unworthiness drive the lack of seeking help and treatment. This is so far from the truth. Men are worthy of feeling better, and many treatment options can help.
