we're thrilled to introduce you to the transformative world of mind-body medicine through the inspiring insights of Geny Moreno, our esteemed Mind-body medicine practitioner. Geny recently shared a profound segment of her personal journey at the Demystifying Fibromyalgia Conference, and we're excited to bring you a deeper dive into the wisdom she unveiled.

Understanding the Power of Sleep

In her captivating session, Geny revealed a pivotal aspect of her story that many of us can relate to— the underestimated importance of sleep. Years ago, she found herself unknowingly caught in a storm of stress, only to realize later the toll it took on her body. During those times, she was getting a mere two to three hours of sleep each night. The impact? Her body showed signs of struggle, inflammation, and overall fatigue, a tale told by the puffiness in her face evident in older pictures.

Join us this October at the highly anticipated Demystifying Fibromyalgia Conference, where we delve deep into the fascinating interplay of these conditions and offer insights that could transform your perspective on pain management and overall wellness.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy:

This fascinating neurological phenomenon, also known as TCR, sheds light on the intricate relationship between the trigeminal nerves and our mental well-being.
