Join us for a transformative conversation as Dr. Efrat Lamandre, or Dr. E., founder of The Knew Method, returns to dissect the often misunderstood condition of fibromyalgia. We challenge conventional medical perspectives and stress the importance of a balanced lifestyle. 

In this episode, Dr. E, a nurse practitioner turned functional medicine advocate, shares her personal journey influenced by her wife's battle with autoimmune issues. Discover how her pivot from traditional medical practices to a holistic approach has revolutionized her practice at EG Healthcare. We navigate the hurdles patients face in diagnosing fibromyalgia, the absence of specific blood markers, and the critical role nurse practitioners play in the healthcare system.

We also tackle the unrecognized causes of fibromyalgia, such as mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and chronic infections, and explore effective detox protocols including infrared saunas and specialized supplements. Learn about the significance of personalized care and how lifestyle interventions and central nervous system work can help in managing chronic conditions. Empower yourself with proactive health strategies from a woman's perspective and tune in to gain insights on navigating the complex landscape of chronic illnesses.
