Learn how to use my treatment approach to feel better

​

Successful fibromyalgia treatment must work to repair the complex negative effects generated by a chronic hyperactive “fight-or-flight” response, which is the underlying root cause of fibromyalgia. I outline my treatment approach in The FibroManual, which includes guidance both for you and your health care provider.

​

Step One: Rest

This foundational step involves giving the body rest from the constant pummeling by a hyperactive stress response by purposefully enlisting a relaxation response and by restoring deep sleep.

​

Step Two: Repair

Once the foundation of Rest is in place, we work on repairing the body’s ability to break down and absorb nutrients and softening the fascia and muscles in fibromyalgia that are tight and “stuck.”

​

Step Three: Rebalance

The next step is to Rebalance the imbalance in energy production, hormones, and inflammation caused by a chronic hyperactive stress response.

​

Step Four: Reduce

The final step of fibromyalgia treatment is to Reduce any remaining pain, fatigue, or fibrofog by treating those symptoms with targeted medications and therapies.
