In this second podcast, Kevin Boehnke and Dan Clauw consider the experiences of the healthcare professional when it comes to treating fibromyalgia. They emphasise the significance of shared decision-making between both the patient and practitioner. They also explore the available treatment options, and consider the role of non-pharmacological approaches in managing this condition.

Dr Boehnke received his doctorate from the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Environmental Health Sciences in 2017. Dr Boehnke’s current research focuses on therapeutic applications of cannabis and psychedelics where his goal is to rigorously assess appropriate use of these substances and to help address the public health harms caused by their criminalisation. He is also a yoga instructor and he himself lives with fibromyalgia.
