Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Additionally, those who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia may experience extreme fatigue and multiple tender points on the body. Changes in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters), sleep problems, genetics, and dysregulation of the system that controls stress related hormone release are all thought to play a role in the development of chronic pain. Those who have autoimmune disease are also hypothesized to have greater risk of developing chronic pain. Nutritional deficiencies, poor eating habits, food sensitivities, and impaired gastrointestinal function have all been documented in the worsening of pain symptoms.

Hey There, I'm Nicole!

Nicole Fennell is a functional nutrition Dietitian—and a fellow Hashimoto’s patient—who understands firsthand the challenges of living with thyroid hormone imbalances and immune system dysfunction. Her approach to managing chronic disease and stubborn symptoms focuses on building the body up with enjoyable and realistic nourishment rather than breaking it down with restrictive, unrealistic, short-term diets.

With a real-food philosophy, Nicole emphasizes the power of nutrition, movement, and peace of mind in both disease prevention and long-term health. Outside of her work, she loves staying active with her husband and three kids, lifting weights, practicing yoga, walking, cooking, enjoying good food, and spending time outdoors.
