With constant exposure to stimulants in our environment, people with fibromyalgia need to practice a natural therapy I call “intentional grounding”. Due to the fact that some people living with fibromyalgia cannot always travel in the same way as a non-fibro person (due to severity of symptoms) this becomes even more essential. No, it’s not just for football anymore!!Intentional grounding means…

Living with fibromyalgia requires that we adhere to our body clock. The body clock is the internal rhythm that supports our daily functions. Why is adhering to our body clock so important?  Because when we do, we naturally support the many systems in the body that correlate with fibromyalgia, especially the nervous, endocrine and immune systems. Optimal health in these…

Could a weighted blanket become an effective addition to your fibromyalgia treatment plan?

What Is Fibromyalgia and Why It Affects the Whole Body Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity throughout the body. Unlike many other conditions, it doesn’t cause visible damage to muscles or joints, yet the pain can feel intense and persistent. The term itself gives a powerful clue about the condition. “Fibromyalgia” combines two meanings: Fibro refers to fibers—specifically muscle…

Fibromyalgia is a complex and often misunderstood chronic illness that affects the entire body, not just muscles and joints. Many people associate fibromyalgia with widespread pain and fatigue, yet the condition reaches far beyond those two symptoms. It can affect the nervous system, immune responses, digestion, mood, sleep, skin, and even how the body heals. Because of this wide impact, fibromyalgia often presents with symptoms that seem unrelated…

Nervous system healing is deeply connected to one powerful truth: humans regulate each other. The same presence that can calm your body, slow your heart rate, and bring peace can also trigger stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. This dual reality is especially important for those living with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, where the nervous system is already highly…

FiFibromyalgia is commonly associated with widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. However, many people living with the condition experience symptoms that go beyond physical pain.

Sounds may seem louder than usual, lights may feel brighter,…
