When I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. In the exam room, time is limited. But the need for understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia is vast. That’s why I created this space: to offer deeper education, validation, and hope.

  • Awesome!

    I’ve been struggling with invisible illnesses , mental health struggles and just feeling unwell most of my life. Now that I’ve been diagnosed with EDS, POTS, lupus, MCAS, fibromyalgia, adhd and am a hsp. (Although I really believe I have high functioning autism)

    Hearing about literally every connection I have on this show has been very liberating. I will recommend this podcast to anyone that is going through the struggle of not

  • Please read!!! Treatment as miracle

    Please read this: you must try Suboxone Film (only .5 mg! - tiny dose) and you can live a normal life as I do —- I suffered for years- it is scheduled III (unlike opioids schedule II) and doctors can write it off-label for pain like many drugs are prescribed. It is generic. No tolerance w this unique molecule Works great with gabapentin-take 3 hours before you wake up (set alarm, go back to bed or take to sleep pain free). It WILL let you lead a normal life. I tried to go 1 day without it and I ... more

  • Really informative

    I’m finding this podcast Really informative. I developed fibro after a car crash in 2002. It took a few years to get it official diagnosed. Some of the content I already know, but is still a good reminder. I’m also learning new info. Thanks for doing this podcast. :)

  • Dr. Lenz's podcasts are extremely informative and educational. After YEARS of struggling with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain, I felt like I had no more options to try to start healing and get out of a pretty bad depression from all that my body issues were controlling. I blasted through all of the podcasts in a few months. After still feeling a bit frustrated on where to turn next, I reached out to Dr. Lenz directly and shared exactly how I was feeling. He immediately returned my message and offe... more
