Ep 136 - Fibromyalgia Explained: Causes, Symptoms, and Hope for Women 40+

https://tamistackelhouse.com/fibromyalgia-podcast/ If you've ever wondered why your fatigue, pain, or brain fog feels bigger than it should — this episode is for you. Melissa sits down with Tami Stackelhouse, award-winning author, founder of the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute, host of the Fibromyalgia Podcast®, and executive producer of the feature documentary INVISIBLE. Tami shares her journey from diagnosis to remission and the holistic framework she teaches women to reclaim their lives from chronic pain. Together, they unpack: What fibromyalgia really is (and why it's so often misunderstood). Why it overlaps with autoimmune and hormonal conditions like Type 1 diabetes and perimenopause. The role of hormones, thyroid, and adrenal health in managing pain and fatigue. The "Book of You" method — Tami's personal system for tracking symptoms and breakthroughs. How listening to your body with compassion (instead of judgment) can change your healing journey. You'll walk away to understand why tracking your symptoms matters, how small daily choices add up to big changes, and why self-compassion might be your most powerful medicine.   Follow Tami Stackelhouse IG - @fibrocoach Website: https://tamistackelhouse.com/ Podcast:  Fibromyalgia Podcast   Hit the subscribe button and rate and review to help this podcast reach more people.
