5 Foods That Make Fibromyalgia Symptoms Worse
Tuesday Oct 28, 2025
Tuesday Oct 28, 2025
Berberine and Liver Boost – Fibromyalgia is driven by chronic inflammation, and your liver is key to managing your body's inflammatory response. As you eliminate trigger foods discussed in this episode, Berberine and Liver Boost supports liver detoxification, helps regulate blood sugar, and reduces inflammation—essential for managing fibromyalgia symptoms. This promotion ends tomorrow! Get yours at https://berberineandliverboost.mswnutrition.com/
EPISODE SUMMARY
Struggling with fibromyalgia? What you eat matters. In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals five common trigger foods that worsen fibromyalgia symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog. Learn why processed sugars, dairy, refined oils, nightshade vegetables, and legumes create inflammation in your nervous system, and discover healthier alternatives that support your body instead of harming it. Transform your fibromyalgia management through dietary changes.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Processed Sugar and Carbs Fuel Inflammation – MSG and aspartame found in processed foods directly trigger fibromyalgia flare-ups by increasing nervous system inflammation. Swap these for whole fruits, sweet potatoes, and raw cane sugar with cinnamon.
Dairy Creates Digestive Inflammation – Casein in dairy products causes gut inflammation that worsens fibromyalgia symptoms. Replace with coconut milk, almond milk, and ghee as healthier alternatives.
Refined Vegetable Oils Are Hidden Inflammatory Triggers – Canola, soybean, and corn oils are highly inflammatory. Switch to avocado oil, olive oil, and grass-fed butter for cooking and dressing.
Nightshade Vegetables Contain Harmful Lectins – Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and mushrooms have anti-nutrients that damage your digestive tract and block mineral absorption. Choose cruciferous vegetables like broccoli instead.
Legumes May Worsen Gut Health – Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peanuts contain lectins that create digestive inflammation and gas. If you can't eliminate them, soak or boil them to reduce lectin content, or choose sauerkraut for fiber.

Unfiltered Healing: What I Learned from Trauma, Explants, and Psychedelics
Monday Oct 13, 2025
Monday Oct 13, 2025
Kim shares her journey from narcissistic abuse to healing through plant medicine and radical self-discovery. After escaping a controlling marriage that stripped away her identity, Kim found restoration through ketamine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin therapies. She also discovered her ruptured breast implants were contributing to systemic inflammation, leading to their removal and a profound shift in her relationship with self-image and authenticity.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Narcissistic abuse is about control, not ego - True narcissism is a personality disorder where abusers systematically isolate victims from support systems, control finances, and erode self-worth through manipulation and gaslighting.
- Plant medicine can reset the nervous system - Kim's PTSD and trauma were effectively treated through ketamine (for depression), ayahuasca (for self-love and inner child healing), and psilocybin (for complete PTSD resolution).
- Physical and mental trauma are interconnected - Kim's ruptured breast implants went undetected for years, contributing to systemic inflammation that mirrored her emotional state during trauma.
- Healing requires integration work - While plant medicine provided breakthroughs, lasting healing came from daily practices: journaling, meditation, exercise, and surrounding herself with authentic relationships.
- Rock bottom can be a foundation for transformation - Losing everything—money, possessions, identity—forced Kim to rebuild authentically, leading to deeper fulfillment than her previous "perfect" life ever provided.
FEATURED PRODUCT
Bliss - Kim's journey highlights how trauma creates chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. Bliss supports adrenal function and helps regulate cortisol levels—essential for recovering from trauma and managing the daily stress of healing work discussed in this episode.

⸻
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this live guest lecture, naturopathic physician Dr. James Munro breaks down one of the most overlooked frameworks in natural medicine: the Naturopathic Therapeutic Order. With humor, personal stories, and deep insight into the healing process, Dr. Munro explains how true healing starts from the bottom up—beginning with foundational health needs like sleep, community, and food—and how to evaluate whether your treatments are building health or just managing symptoms.
This is more than a conversation—it’s a guide to becoming your own best advocate.
⸻
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
• The Therapeutic Order Is a Map for Healing
It’s not just about avoiding medications—it’s about starting from the foundation (sleep, food, environment, relationships) and building upward before jumping to advanced interventions.
• Community and Relationships Are Foundational Health Inputs
Research shows that love and connection can impact lifespan and inflammation just as much as diet and supplements.
• Symptoms Are Messages—Not Enemies
Rather than suppress symptoms with quick fixes, the Therapeutic Order teaches us to work backward and ask: “What is this symptom trying to tell me?”
• You Don’t Have to Diagnose to Start Healing
Even without a label, starting at the bottom of the Therapeutic Order—nutrition, sleep, hydration—can move the needle more than most realize.
• Becoming Your Own Advocate Means Asking Better Questions
If your doctor says “everything looks fine,” but you don’t feel fine, that’s your cue to seek support elsewhere and trust your body’s signals.

SUMMARY
In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, Nurse Doza outlines The Brain-Saving Plan: What to Do Now to Prevent Decline Later. Discover five essential daily strategies—backed by research—that can protect brain health, sharpen focus, and reduce your risk of cognitive decline starting now.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Exercise is non-negotiable – Just two minutes of daily movement can stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factors and lower dementia risk.
- Sleep is where your brain detoxes – Deep sleep activates the glymphatic system and releases melatonin to remove toxins and boost memory.
- Detoxification is brain protection – Oxidative stress is a silent driver of brain aging, and detox pathways must stay active to prevent neurodegeneration.
- Sunlight sets your brain’s rhythm – Morning sunlight boosts serotonin and helps you make more melatonin at night, improving sleep and brain repair.
- Supplements support the system – Nutrients like selenium, NAC, curcumin, and pterostilbene activate key detox pathways (like Nrf2) and protect against inflammation.
FEATURED PRODUCT
Bliss, packed with adaptogenic herbs and nervine botanicals, helps ease mental tension and supports a calm, clear mind—ideal for supporting brain performance, relaxation, and emotional balance as discussed in this episode’s brain-saving strategy.
