  • Feeling Better, Then Crashing? The Fibromyalgia Flare Cycle

    Feeling Better, Then Crashing? The Fibromyalgia Flare Cycle
    Mar 21 2026
    Dr. Rodger Murphree explains why fibromyalgia flares often hit after patients finally start feeling better. He says many people with fibromyalgia make the mistake of overdoing it mentally or physically on a good day, only to end up exhausted and in bed for days after. In this episode, he argues that fibro flares are often driven by poor sleep, chronic stress, and a body that has lost its resilience after years of physical or emotional strain. He says the real starting point is deep, restorative sleep and rebuilding the body’s ability to handle stress. That includes addressing nutritional and hormonal deficiencies, using targeted supplements, and pacing activity instead of rushing back into old routines too fast. Murphree’s message is direct: feeling better does not mean you are fully recovered, and lasting progress comes from restoring stamina before you push your limits.

  • Why Pain, Poor Sleep, and Brain Fog Don’t Get Better on Their Own

    Why Pain, Poor Sleep, and Brain Fog Don’t Get Better on Their Own
    Mar 14 2026
    Dr. Rodger Murphree explains why he is strongly against relying on Lyrica or Gabapentin as long-term answers for fibromyalgia. He says the research shows these drugs help only a limited number of patients, while the side effects often look a lot like fibromyalgia itself: weight gain, brain fog, nerve pain, poor sleep, digestive issues, anxiety, and depression. In this episode, he argues that many patients get stuck on six to 12 medications because conventional care keeps layering on symptom relief instead of addressing what is driving the illness. He says the real path forward is finding and fixing the underlying causes behind fibromyalgia. That means improving diet, correcting nutritional deficiencies, addressing hormone imbalances, restoring sleep, and slowly weaning unnecessary medications under medical supervision. Murphree’s message is blunt: you cannot drug your way out of fibromyalgia, and lasting progress comes from rebuilding health at the root level. CHAPTERS (00:00) Why he rejects Lyrica and Gabapentin (02:05) Side effects that mimic fibromyalgia (04:10) Why patients end up on many drugs (06:20) You cannot drug your way out (08:35) Diet helps, but it is the long game (10:40) Hormone and nutrient deficiencies matter (12:55) Why standard testing often misses clues (15:05) What years of practice taught him (17:20) Weaning off meds the right way (19:35) Hope, healing, and next steps Work with Dr. Murphree Consultations & Programs – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠yourfibrodoctor.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Store (book + supplements) – yourfibrostore.com / essentialtherastore.com More About Dr. Rodger Murphree Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠superhealthyhuman.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@drrodgermurphree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Rodger Murphree, Functional Medicine Expert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Rodger Murphree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Production, Distribution, and Marketing by Massif & Kroo Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MassifKroo.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For inquiries or sponsorships: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@massifkroo.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Could Your Everyday Routine Be Worsening Chronic Illness?

    Could Your Everyday Routine Be Worsening Chronic Illness?
    Mar 7 2026
    Dr. Rodger Murphree says overcoming fibromyalgia or any chronic illness starts with personal responsibility. He argues that conventional medicine often helps in acute situations, but long-term care for chronic illness usually turns into symptom management instead of fixing what caused the problem in the first place. In this episode, he uses type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, and fibromyalgia to make the case that medication alone is rarely enough. He says the real work is changing daily habits: cleaning up a standard American diet, losing excess weight, improving restorative sleep, reducing stress, and slowly rebuilding physical activity. Murphree also explains why many people stay trapped in poor health when they rely on convenience foods, stay sedentary, or ignore toxic stressors and medication side effects. His message is direct: the body can heal, but only when you give it the conditions to do so. CHAPTERS (00:00) Why chronic illness is different (01:55) Type 2 diabetes root cause (03:50) Weight gain and symptom spiral (05:45) The SAD diet problem (07:40) Why clean eating takes time (09:35) Fibro, diabetes, and co-morbidity (11:20) High blood pressure example (13:10) Depression and movement (15:05) Start small with exercise (17:10) Healthy habits or staying sick Work with Dr. Murphree Consultations & Programs – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠yourfibrodoctor.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Store (book + supplements) – yourfibrostore.com / essentialtherastore.com More About Dr. Rodger Murphree Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠superhealthyhuman.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@drrodgermurphree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Rodger Murphree, Functional Medicine Expert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Rodger Murphree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Production, Distribution, and Marketing by Massif & Kroo Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MassifKroo.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For inquiries or sponsorships: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@massifkroo.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
