Why Fibromyalgia Isn’t in Your Head: The Science That Changes Everything with Dr. Bruce Gillis
Send us a text
For decades, fibromyalgia patients were told their pain was “all in their head.” Dr. Bruce Gillis, Harvard-trained physician and researcher, has changed that narrative with the first blood test to prove fibromyalgia is real.
What if the condition you’ve struggled with for years - pain, fatigue, brain fog - wasn’t imaginary, but instead rooted in your immune system? That’s the groundbreaking discovery Dr. Bruce Gillis brings to light in this episode of Raise the Script with Nutrigenomics.
Dr. Gillis developed the FM/a® Test, the first diagnostic blood test for fibromyalgia, providing biological validation for millions of patients who had been dismissed or misdiagnosed. He reveals how fibromyalgia is not a syndrome, but an immune deficiency disease with measurable DNA and immune system abnormalities.
Together, we explore why fibromyalgia has been stigmatized for decades, how pharmaceutical and economic interests have slowed recognition, and what this breakthrough means for other conditions like long COVID and interstitial cystitis. If you’ve ever felt unheard by the medical system, this conversation offers hope, science, and a new path forward.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why fibromyalgia is a legitimate biological disease, not “all in your head”
- How the FM/a® Test detects fibromyalgia through immune system markers
- The connection between fibromyalgia, long COVID, and interstitial cystitis
- How gender bias and stigma have shaped the experience of invisible illness
- The future of diagnostics and targeted immune-based therapies for chronic pain
