Fibromyalgia can leave you feeling exhausted, foggy, and overwhelmed — especially if you haven’t yet received a clear diagnosis. In this episode, Roberta breaks down what fibromyalgia really is, how it’s diagnosed, what conditions can mimic it, and how to manage it with a gentle, holistic approach.

Whether you've been diagnosed or suspect fibromyalgia may be behind your symptoms, this episode will help you feel more informed and less alone — with practical strategies for managing your health day to day.

What You’ll Learn:

• What fibromyalgia is and how it affects the nervous system
• Key symptoms to look out for, including fatigue, pain, brain fog, and sensitivity
• Why fibromyalgia can be hard to diagnose — and which conditions should be ruled out first
• How perimenopause, chronic fatigue, thyroid issues, and nutrient deficiencies can overlap
• Evidence-informed ways to support yourself through movement, sleep, stress reduction, and pacing
• How physiotherapy, Pilates, and subconscious work (like the CONTROL System) can support symptom management
