Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast to get updates.

This episode continues education on self-management of fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. Exercise and physical activity are an important part of your well-being.

Research and my practical clinical experience show that exercise, regardless of type, reduces pain and depression and improves the overall quality of life. The patients who successfully manage their fibro symptoms universally credit exercise, sleep, and nutrition as essential treatment modalities for controlling their symptoms. These patients may use different exercise types; one may be into yoga, another swimming or walking, etc., but they all move. This episode discusses exercise, our lack of motivation to add physical activity, and how to start moving. Let's GO!

Episode 25 - The Science of Sleep
Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast to get updates.

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

Emerging science shows that sleep is the most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body health each day. SLEEP IS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF WAKEFULNESS. Sleep is an essential physiologic state that is required for health and longevity. Some body functions only occur when you sleep. This episode is about sleep, why we need sleep, how much, and the terms you often hear, such as the sleep cycle (non- REM and REM sleep), the circadian rhythm, melatonin, and of course, the caffeine and why it disrupts our sleep. 😴
