    91: Autoimmunity, Inflammation, and Fatigue—Is Vibration Therapy a Missing Link?
    Apr 8 2025
    We’re going beyond the buzz of fitness trends and into the real science behind vibration plates. In this episode, I’m diving deep into how whole-body vibration (WBV) may influence immune regulation, lymphatic flow, inflammation, and even chronic fatigue.You’ll learn:✅ How vibration plates actually work—mechanically and physiologically✅ What the research says about their impact on mood, pain, and inflammation✅ The fascinating connection between vibration, lymph nodes, and autoimmune progression✅ Why WBV might be a supportive tool for fibromyalgia, post-viral fatigue, and brain fog✅ The emerging science on gut microbiota, Tregs, and nervous system balance through vibration therapyWhether you’re managing autoimmunity, navigating low energy, or just curious about this “passive exercise” tool, this episode brings functional medicine insight and cutting-edge research together to help you decide: Is vibration therapy worth exploring for your healing journey?The vibration plate I use: https://amzn.to/4cyoGK0The pomodoro timer I use: https://amzn.to/4i40SP5▶️Do you live in Indiana?
