Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about Frequency Specific Microcurrent and how FSM is used in optimizing health. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr Carolyn McMakin. Carolyn McMakin MA, DC is the clinical director of the Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Clinic of Portland, Oregon. She developed Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) in 1995 and began teaching FSM courses in 1997.
