What Is Ask the Coach?
Ask the Coach is a special series of the Fibromyalgia Podcast® where Tami answers the questions fibromyalgia patients ask most often.
Think of it like “Dear Abby” — just for fibromyalgia.
Some episodes feature Tami answering questions directly. Others bring in trusted experts to help answer a listener’s question more deeply.
Every episode starts with a real question from a real listener.
Many of our episodes are inspired by listener questions. The episodes below are the official Ask the Coach series.
