In this presentation Dr. Lundquist will share some of the evidence as well as theories associated with the multiple drivers thought to be involved with fibromyalgia (FM) including from the exposome (including toxins and infections), epigenetics, mitochondrial function, metal sensitivity and inflammation. Dr. Lundquist will review the evidence that supports a comprehensive treatment approach to FM including foundational dietary practices, micronutrient assessments, as well as targeted therapeutic interventions which include nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals that have been shown to reduce severity of fibromyalgia symptoms.
