What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Twenty-five years of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told it was all in her head. By the time Elena Herning finally got answers, she had lost her home, her belongings, her ability to drive, and very nearly her life. In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Elena Herning, patient advocate and TruDOSE™ ambassador, to trace her harrowing journey through undiagnosed Lyme disease, co-infections, toxic mold exposure, mast cell activation syndrome, POTS, MOG antibody disease, and COVID - and the single therapy that finally turned it all around. Elena breaks down what dose-specific IV platelet-rich plasma (TruDOSE™) actually does inside the body, why it crosses the blood-brain barrier, how it unwinds inflammatory loops that conventional medicine never addresses, and what it felt like to go from writing goodbye letters to her children to logging mile six on a treadmill. If you or someone you love is caught in the chronic illness spiral with no answers and no end in sight, this episode is for you.

Frédéric Roscop, French-born osteopath and founder of AEQUIL, joins the Tick Boot Camp Podcast as our first-ever in-studio international guest, flying in from London to Long Island to share his personal battle with chronic Lyme disease—and the breakthrough that reshaped his life and career. After decades of unexplained symptoms, misdiagnoses, heart inflammation, neurological dysfunction, and failed treatment attempts across multiple countries, Frédéric discovered that killing microbes alone wasn't enough. His recovery began when he shifted focus from chasing pathogens to restoring the body's foundational terrain—supporting immune regulation, detoxification, cellular function, stress physiology, and energetic balance. In this deeply reflective and technical conversation, Frédéric shares how childhood tick exposure in rural France, years of undiagnosed Borrelia and Bartonella infection, and repeated medical dead-ends ultimately led him to develop a patented biotech system designed to help others reset their foundational wellbeing. What You'll Learn in This Episode Growing Up in Tick Territory Frédéric describes growing up in rural France, frequently covered in ticks as a child—long before Lyme disease was widely recognized in Europe. Early symptoms included: Chronic insomnia and hyperactivity Digestive dysfunction and blood sugar instability Visual disturbances and light sensitivity Emotional instability and neurological symptoms Recurrent inflammation At 16, following general anesthesia for a broken nose, he experienced what he now recognizes as a major Lyme “crash,” leading to cognitive decline, emotional dysregulation, and worsening physical inflammation. Heart Inflammation & Athletic Collapse By age 17–18, Frédéric's promising volleyball career ended due to inflammatory joint disease and recurring pericarditis (heart inflammation)—which would return six times over the next 15 years. Antibiotics temporarily improved symptoms, but the root cause remained unidentified. “I Didn't Even Know What Lyme Disease Was” As a young osteopath in practice, Frédéric recalls a patient asking whether her symptoms could be Lyme disease. At the time, he had never been trained on it. Years later, another patient was hospitalized with Lyme-related encephalitis—triggering Frédéric's realization that Lyme might explain both his patients' suffering and his own. This episode includes an honest discussion about: Medical training gaps Diagnostic limitations The importance of humility in healthcare Why the doctor–patient relationship must be a partnership Diagnosis: Borrelia, Bartonella & More Specialty testing eventually revealed: Borrelia Bartonella Viral findings including Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Heavy metal burden (notably elevated mercury) Frédéric began aggressive antibiotic and detox protocols—but experienced severe gut collapse and worsening terrain. Despite trying treatments across Europe, the U.S., China, India, and Switzerland—including antimicrobial, herbal, and integrative approaches—he improved only marginally. The Turning Point: It's Not Just the Bug — It's the Terrain Frédéric revisited the foundational debate in medicine: Louis Pasteur: It's the germ. Claude Bernard: It's the terrain. His breakthrough came when he shifted focus to rebuilding: Gut function Cellular membranes Detox pathways Nervous system regulation Emotional and energetic resilience Rather than focusing exclusively on killing microbes, he asked: Does the body have the capacity to self-regulate and self-repair? From that question, AEQUIL was born. What Is AEQUIL? AEQUIL is a biotech wellness system built around a patented technology Frédéric calls Liquid Intelligence — a formulation combining: Structured/dynamised water Botanicals Vitamins and electrolytes Biochemical and biophysical support The system supports: Brain, heart, gut, liver, and immune foundations Detoxification and lymphatic flow Stress physiology Emotional and energetic regulation The AEQUIL Deep Reset System Maintain (Foundational Support) A daily liquid formula designed to nourish the body's core systems and support cellular regulation. Suggested use: ½ teaspoon morning ½ teaspoon evening Reset (Deep Reset Protocol) A structured approach to support: Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) Micro-toxins (detox pathways) Micro-traumas (stress and emotional stagnation) The protocol is phased to reduce Herx reactions and build resilience gradually, with many users reporting a noticeable physiological shift around weeks 8–10. Everyday Support Wearable patches and digital wellness tools (affirmations, breathwork) designed to support mood, sleep, energy, and immune balance during recovery. Core Message of This Episode Chronic Lyme recovery is rarely about one silver bullet. It requires: Restoring foundational systems Supporting detox and immune function Addressing nervous system and stress patterns Recognizing both biochemical and energetic influences Frédéric's story is one of humility, evolution, and transformation—from a practitioner unaware of Lyme disease to a global wellness innovator working to support both patients and healthcare providers.

Why do so many Lyme patients test negative while feeling anything but healthy? This is a special re-release of a powerful episode originally recorded in 2025. We felt it was too important not to bring back, especially as more people continue to struggle with confusing lab results and unanswered symptoms. The insights shared here are just as relevant today, if not more, and deserve to be heard again. In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt breaks down the confusing world of Lyme disease testing and reveals why conventional lab results often fail chronic illness patients. Drawing insights from leading experts like Dr. Bruce Patterson and Dr. Joseph Burrascano, this episode uncovers the limitations of ELISA, Western Blot, and PCR testing and why they were never designed for complex, chronic cases. You will learn how Lyme evades detection, why immune dysfunction leads to false negatives, and how advanced testing methods like cytokine panels, T-cell testing, and FISH are reshaping diagnosis. If you have ever been told your labs are normal while your body says otherwise, this episode will change how you understand your health and your next steps forward. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 2:05 ELISA and Western Blot were never built for chronic Lyme 6:10 Immune dysfunction leads to false negatives 10:30 PCR testing limitations and missed infections 12:00 Expanding beyond standard labs into specialty testing 17:00 FISH testing detecting live organisms in the blood 22:00 Why combining tests gives a clearer diagnosis 23:30 Immune system testing the future of Lyme detection 28:00 Symptom patterns reveal different infections 30:15 Choosing the right test based on your stage 32:00 When to stop testing and start healing Resources Mentioned: ArminLabs https://arminlabs.com/ IGeneX https://igenex.com/ Galaxy Diagnostics https://www.galaxydx.com/ DNA Connexions https://dnaconnexions.com/ IncellDX https://incelldx.com/ Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast conversation recorded for Dr. Bill Rawls' Vital Plan Network as part of the Cellular Healing Boot Camp Series, Tick Boot Camp co-hosts Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen join Liza Blas (Vital Plan Network Community Manager) to unpack one of the most overlooked—but most transformative—parts of chronic illness recovery: rebuilding identity. This episode serves as a follow-up to Lesson 16 in the Boot Camp (watch full lesson) and expands the framework Rich introduced in the lesson—showing how chronic Lyme disease and complex chronic illness can dysregulate not only the body, but also the mind, nervous system, and sense of meaning and connection. Together, they explore the “patterns” they've observed through 650+ Tick Boot Camp interviews with patients, doctors, and researchers—and how those patterns point toward a more complete roadmap for healing.https://community.vitalplan.com/ What You'll Learn in This Episode Why healing from chronic Lyme disease is rarely “just physical” The key recovery patterns observed across 650+ patient interviews How identity gets disrupted by chronic illness—and how to rebuild it The difference between faith vs. doubt as forms of belief The “Big Three Lies” that shape a harmful Lyme identity How the nervous system, stress hormones, and immune dysfunction feed each other Why “it's never just one thing” when it comes to recovery Practical tools for hard days: breathwork, gratitude, pacing, and nervous system support A step-by-step “path forward” that includes physical, psychological, and spiritual healing Key Themes and Takeaways 1) The Tick Boot Camp Origin Story (and Why Patterns Matter) Rich shares the moment Tick Boot Camp was born: seeing Matt go from a healthy, high-performing young man to being severely disabled by chronic illness—then watching him fight his way back. That personal crisis, combined with Rich's own tick bite and lack of competent medical guidance, revealed a hard truth: The real experts are the people who've lived the journey. Tick Boot Camp became a platform to capture what actually works in real life—through deep, long-form interviews that expose patterns you don't see in short appointments or isolated protocols. 2) The Biggest Pattern: Recovery Requires More Than Medicine Matt explains one of the most important—and most triggering—lessons he had to accept: Chronic Lyme is not only a physical illness. It impacts your nervous system, psychology, relationships, and identity. He also highlights two massive recovery truths seen again and again: Believing you can heal matters, because hopelessness prevents action. It's never one thing. Healing is cumulative—built through layered interventions over time. This isn't “it's all in your head.” It's acknowledging that infection changes brain chemistry, stress responses, and perception—and that those changes must be addressed as part of recovery. 3) Tick Boot Camp's Framework: Three “Immune Systems” That Can Break Down Rich expands the “immune system must win the day” concept from Dr. Bill Rawls' book Unlocking Lyme, and explains how it applies beyond the body. He argues many people experience a breakdown across three interconnected systems: Physical immune system: fatigue, pain, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction Psychological immune system: stress response, nervous system dysregulation, belief filtering Spiritual immune system: purpose, meaning, connection, and “place in the world” The more systems involved, the more complex and longer the recovery journey can be. 4) Belief: A Two-Sided Coin (Faith vs. Doubt) Rich explains why his early messaging triggered Matt—and what finally clarified it: Belief isn't something you either “have” or “don't have” Belief is always present It comes in two forms: Faith: belief you're more likely than not to get the outcome you want Doubt: belief you're more likely than not to get the outcome you don't want People enter the chronic illness journey carrying belief—but often it has been converted into doubt through repeated invalidation, medical dismissal, and prolonged suffering. 5) The Big Three Lies That Create “Lyme Identity” Across hundreds of interviews, Rich says the same three narratives appear repeatedly: “You don't look sick.” “It's all in your head.” “You can't get better.” These lies—coming from doctors, family, society, and even internal self-talk—can form what Rich calls a “lie-dentity”: a false identity built from invalidation and survival-mode thinking. 6) Matt's Personal Breakdown Across All Three Systems Matt describes how, in hindsight, he was dysregulated in all three systems: Spiritual/meaning: loss of connection, loneliness, relationships collapsing due to cognitive disability Psychological: new anxiety, doom, depression, fear, hyper-control while having no control Physical: severe neurological symptoms including seizures, tremors, hallucinations, inability to walk properly, and crushing fatigue He emphasizes therapy can be valuable—not because illness is imagined—but because anyone would struggle emotionally when their life collapses physically. Practical Recovery Tools Mentioned Nervous System Support and Emotional Bandwidth Matt shares that HPA Balance from Vital Plan became a turning point by calming his nervous system enough to safely pursue antimicrobial healing steps. He describes it as helping him feel “normal” again—creating the emotional bandwidth needed to keep going. He also mentions: Napiers Ashwagandha Root Tincture (Withania somnifera) Passionflower Tincture (Passiflora incarnata) Used as-needed when overstimulated, anxious, or overwhelmed. Cellular/Mitochondrial Recovery and Broad Support Matt outlines a layered approach aligned with Dr. Rawls' cellular recovery philosophy, including: foundational supplementation adaptogenic support mitochondrial support broad-spectrum herbal antimicrobial support A Practical “Holiday” Tool Matt notes using chlorella as a personal strategy to offset inflammation after dietary triggers—supporting his ability to recover more quickly after “human moments” like holiday dessert. The Path Forward: A Simple Roadmap Rich's recommendation for moving forward begins with something many people avoid: Step 1: Sit with it Reflect honestly on: What's happening physically What's happening emotionally (stress, fear, self-talk) What's happening spiritually (meaning, connection, purpose) Step 2: Support the physical system with basics sleep diet gentle movement when possible consistent, realistic routines Step 3: Protect the psychological immune system from “lies” Recognize how invalidation can become internalized, and how survival-mode thinking can shut down healing physiology. Step 4: Rebuild meaning through service and connection Rich suggests small steps that re-establish purpose and belonging—especially for those who are still very sick. Even minimal action can restore identity and hope over time. Participate in LymeDisease.org's My Lyme Data Survey Volunteer with the Center for Lyme Action Volunteer with Lyme organizations, like Global Lyme Alliance, Project Lyme, and Lyme Warrior “When you have a bad day, how do you keep the faith?” Matt shares a practical approach: pause and breathe gratitude practice (family, progress, community, relationships) nervous system support tools when needed Rich adds: the brain can change negatively—but also positively—and building a recovery “toolbox” helps you stay stable through inevitable ups and downs. Why This Episode Matters Many chronic illness conversations focus narrowly on protocols, supplements, and symptom management. This conversation zooms out to address what chronic Lyme truly disrupts: identity, confidence, relationships, and the ability to trust yourself again. If you feel stuck, lost, or disconnected from who you were—or who you're becoming—this episode offers a framework for understanding why that happens and how people rebuild from it. About Tick Boot Camp Tick Boot Camp is a Lyme disease awareness and recovery platform built around long-form conversations with the people who know the journey best: patients who have lived it, plus the doctors and researchers working to improve outcomes. With 650+ interviews, the show documents the common patterns behind recovery and resilience.

In this powerful and science-forward episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, host Matt Sabatello sits down with Amy Proal, PhD, a leading microbiologist whose work is reshaping how the medical community understands chronic Lyme disease, post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD), ME/CFS, and Long COVID. Dr. Proal brings a rare combination of deep scientific expertise, lived experience with chronic illness, and real-world clinical integration, offering listeners clarity on why so many patients remain sick long after standard treatment ends — and what science is finally doing about it.

[NOTE: This podcast does not replace medical treatment. If you struggle with Lyme care, please see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.] In this powerful episode of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast, host Fred Diamond is joined by Lyme advocate Marjorie Veiga for an honest, practical conversation about managing the overwhelm of Lyme disease and tickborne illnesses. Marjorie shares her personal journey with tickborne illness, which began in 1999, and her experience caring for her daughter through years of Lyme coinfections. Drawing on her background as a senior manager at Verizon and her deep involvement in the Lyme community, Marjorie explains why organization, documentation, and support systems are critical to healing. At the center of the conversation is "My Lyme Guide," the comprehensive resource Marjorie created to help Lyme patients and caregivers track medications, appointments, symptoms, insurance, school accommodations, and more especially when brain fog and fatigue make daily management overwhelming. Together, Fred and Marjorie discuss:

In this episode, Dr. Will Cole is joined by integrative physician Dr. Eboni Cornish for a powerful conversation about neuroinflammation and why so many mental health symptoms actually begin in the immune system. Dr. Cornish breaks down the real root causes of brain inflammation - from chronic infections and gut dysfunction to mold, toxins, and autoimmune activity - and explains why mental health is inseparable from brain and body health. They also discuss Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, why traditional testing often fails, and how nervous system dysregulation can block healing.

Recorded in person in Central Park, NYC just before Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), this Tick Boot Camp Podcast features Dr. Bill Rawls on what helps chronic Lyme patients move from overwhelm to progress. We talk immune-first strategy, why antibiotics often fall short in chronic cases, how to protect the gut, and a stepwise plan that reduces flare risk and builds confidence. Episode snapshot Dr. Rawls explains why stealth microbes like Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia grow slowly and hide in tissues, which is why a quick-fix antibiotic approach often disappoints in chronic illness. We discuss a four-phase healing framework — prehabilitation, assist the immune system, rehabilitation, and maintenance (PARM) — and how a gradual, system-calming on-ramp helps patients tolerate protocols without crashing. We also dig into gut protection, community support, and how AI can speed education and research. What you will learn Why “assist the immune system” beats “kill at all costs” for chronic Lyme Stealth microbe biology and why slow growth changes the treatment playbook Antibiotic overuse risks including microbiome injury and antibiotic resistance Gut and detox support as foundations for energy, sleep, and resilience A stepwise entry to treatment that reduces flares and anxiety Key herbs with evidence for tick-borne infections and immune modulation Community and education as levers for consistency and long-term success How AI tools can accelerate research, writing, and practical guidance Key topics and takeaways Four phases of recovery: prehab, assist, rehab, maintenance Antibiotics in chronic Lyme: may disrupt the gut before meaningfully impacting slow-growing pathogens Herbal strategy: sustained pressure over time with immune support Gradual on-ramp: calm the nervous system first, then gut and detox, then stronger antimicrobials Team sport: combine self-care, educated use of providers, and moderated community support Herbs and supports mentioned Antimicrobial herbs: Japanese knotweed, Chinese skullcap, Cryptolepis, cat's claw, garlic Immune-modulating adaptogens: reishi, cordyceps Supportive nutrients: B vitamins, minerals, NAC, glutathione Formats: capsules and tinctures were discussed, including products like Advanced Biotic and Biome Boost within larger protocols Patient-friendly pacing Months 1–2: calm sympathetic overdrive, improve sleep, stabilize Months 3–4: protect gut, support detox, keep gentle antimicrobial pressure Months 5–6: advance to stronger combinations when the body is ready Ongoing: measure progress, maintain gain, prevent backsliding Notable quotes “The immune system always wins the game. Your job is to assist it.” “Stealth microbes grow slowly and hide in tissues. The strategy has to match the biology.” “Education and a supportive community reduce fear and make consistency possible.” Resources and links Watch the video version of this podcast interview on YouTube Read our NYFW Recap: Tick Boot Camp models at Project Labcoat and Why it Matters for Lyme Awareness, Research, and Funding

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods.” 

This episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast is a deep dive into the complexities of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods,” details the challenges of diagnosing tick-borne diseases, the limitations of current diagnostic tests, and the controversy around treatment methodologies. Nicole shares her personal journey that led her to this field after her husband was misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which was later revealed to be caused by advanced Lyme disease. They also discuss new diagnostic techniques, the importance of personalized treatment plans, and ongoing advocacy efforts to improve awareness and research funding for Lyme disease.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast episode recorded live at Project Lab Coat during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), we sit down with Dr. Michal “Mikki” Caspi Tal, Principal Scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT and Associate Scientific Director of the MIT Center for Gynepathology Research. Dr. Tal is an immunologist and immunoengineer whose groundbreaking research focuses on the connections between infections and chronic diseases, including Lyme disease and long COVID. At her Tal Research Group lab, she studies why some people recover quickly after infection while others develop chronic illness, with a focus on the immune system's different responses in men and women. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Dr. Tal's lab uses mouse models of chronic Lyme and a large clinical study to take a deeper look at Lyme disease. Why some patients make a protective immune response while others develop catastrophic responses like dysautonomia, MCAS, gynecological issues, or clotting disorders. How her team is moving beyond “yes/no” antibody tests to create new biomarker diagnostics that can guide treatments. Why sex differences matter in chronic illness and why women are more likely to experience long-term symptoms after infection. How her research could lead to more personalized treatment approaches for Lyme disease patients by grouping individuals based on immune response patterns. What samples (blood, saliva, sweat, tissue) her team is collecting at MIT to uncover new insights into chronic Lyme disease. Why this research brings hope to Lyme patients who feel unseen and unheard. About Dr. Michal Caspi Tal Principal Scientist, MIT Department of Biological Engineering Associate Scientific Director, MIT Center for Gynepathology Research Focus areas: Lyme disease, long COVID, chronic inflammatory diseases, sex differences in immune response, predictive diagnostics Background: PhD in Immunobiology from Yale (mentored by Dr. Akiko Iwasaki), postdoctoral training at Stanford (Irving Weissman lab), infectious disease research leader at Stanford's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Awards: NIH NIAID F31 and F32 Fellowships, Bay Area Lyme Foundation Emerging Leader Award About Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week Project Lab Coat was a groundbreaking event held on September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The show brought together prominent celebrities, researchers, doctors, and advocates who were invited to walk the runway to spotlight Lyme disease and raise funds for Lyme disease research. For the first time, the global visibility of NYFW was used to highlight one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the world. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen, together with Dr. Tal, walked the runway at Project Lab Coat, joining leaders from medicine, science, entertainment, and advocacy. Project Lab Coat demonstrated the power of mainstream platforms to bring awareness, credibility, and resources to the fight against Lyme disease. Why This Episode Matters For too long, chronic Lyme patients have been told their symptoms are “all in their head.” Dr. Tal's work at MIT proves otherwise by measuring the real biological differences in immune system responses. This research not only validates patients' experiences but also charts a course toward better diagnostics, clinical trials, and personalized treatments.

I'm Dr. Daniel Cameron. In my practice, I often see patients with chronic pain, and I want to explore whether chronic Lyme disease could be part of the puzzle behind America's growing pain epidemic.A recent paper by Jovkovich in Pain reported that chronic pain prevalence in U.S. adults rose from 21% in 2019 to 24% in 2023—affecting 60 million people. Only about 13% of this increase was linked to long COVID. The rest remains unexplained.Overlap Between Lyme Pain and National Pain TrendsThe types of pain described—back, neck, joint, headache, abdominal, and widespread musculoskeletal pain—mirror what I see in chronic Lyme patients. Lyme pain is often multi-system, migratory, unpredictable, and can flare with fatigue and stress. It includes:Musculoskeletal pain: Joint and tendon pain, often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia.Neurologic pain: Headaches resistant to migraine therapy, burning or electrical-shock sensations, small fiber neuropathy.Abdominal/pelvic pain: Frequently linked with autonomic dysfunction.Why Lyme Gets MissedTesting limitations: Standard CDC two-tier testing is more reliable in acute cases, leaving many chronic patients without positive results.Mislabels: Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or “pain of unknown origin.”COVID-era factors: More outdoor exposure, missed diagnoses due to care delays, absent rash or visible tick bite.Geography and DemographicsThe pain hotspots in the Pain study—Northeast, Upper Midwest, Pacific coast—are also Lyme-endemic regions. Affected populations included working adults, outdoor enthusiasts, rural and suburban residents, aligning closely with Lyme risk groups.Strongest Evidence: Treatment ResponsePerhaps the clearest sign is clinical: when patients with undiagnosed Lyme receive targeted antibiotic or co-infection therapy, their chronic pain often improves or resolves.Bottom line: Chronic Lyme disease may be an overlooked contributor to America's pain crisis. The symptoms overlap, the geography matches, and patients often respond to treatment. To better address the 60 million Americans in pain, we need to update diagnostic strategies, look beyond tick rash and positive tests, and include Lyme disease in the differential.

What happens when your growing business starts demanding more than your body can give?In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I'm joined by Stephanie DiPisa, founder of Solara Suncare, mom of three, and Chronic Lyme advocate, to talk about the hard but necessary truth: sometimes the best thing for your business is doing less, not more.Stephanie opens up about launching her first business at 40 with no beauty industry experience, building Solara into a successful brand sold everywhere from Target to Neiman Marcus, and how her journey with chronic Lyme disease taught her to recognize when it's time to intentionally slow down. She shares why she had to pause her business completely for a year, how that break actually made her products better, and the warning signs that tell her it's time to "turn down the faucet" on growth.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:Why forced health breaks can actually strengthen your business and improve your offerings in unexpected ways.How to recognize when you're slipping into unsustainable patterns before you reach a complete breaking point.How shifting away from "catching up" fear and toward intentional choices that prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term gains.Stephanie's story is a reminder that building a successful business with chronic illness isn't about pushing harder; it's about listening to your body's wisdom and creating something that can thrive even when you need to rest.Companies mentioned in this episode: Global Lyme Alliance Project Lyme Ali Moresco Tick Chicks Leave us a Review and share this episode with a friend.Send Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsJoin The 5-Day Audio Series - Rooted Sales Loved this episode?

We have a special guest on today's episode whose voice will be familiar to regular listeners. Last year at this time, Dr. Raven Baxter occupied the Raise the Line host chair for a special ten-part series we produced in collaboration with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness (CoRe) at Mount Sinai in New York City, where she serves as the Director of Science Communication. The series explored the latest understandings of post-acute infection syndromes -- such as Chronic Lyme and Long COVID -- with an array of experts from the Center and other researchers and providers. In this episode, we check-in with Dr. Baxter to get an update on the work of the Cohen Center, especially with regard to its mission to educate providers. “We're building programs so that clinicians can earn credit for learning about chronic illnesses that are infection associated, and we've also developed a 200-page provider manual. I really think that we will be able to shift the narrative that currently exists,” Dr. Baxter tells host Michael Carrese. That narrative includes lingering skepticism among providers of some infection-associated illnesses, which Dr. Baxter witnessed herself as a Long COVID patient, an experience that has added meaningful perspective to her work. Dr. Baxter is also working on her own time to advance knowledge and combat misinformation through a robust social media presence as “The Science Maven” and helps other scientists and clinicians to do the same. "If we're not there to fill in that void, other people will fill it for us and the narrative may not be consistent with the truth or facts." This is a great opportunity to learn about the art and science of communications that can reach clinicians and patients alike.Mentioned in this episode:Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic IllnessThe Science Maven If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode of Vitality Made Simple, Dr. Bill Rawls joins us to share his personal health crisis that began with chronic fatigue, disrupted sleep, and mysterious symptoms that stumped the traditional medical system. Eventually diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, he realized that the real culprit wasn't just microbes—it was cellular dysfunction. His story reveals how chronic stress, poor diet, environmental toxins, and disrupted sleep create the perfect storm for dormant microbes to reactivate and wreak havoc on the body.Through years of research and recovery, Dr. Rawls embraced herbal medicine and began seeing a profound difference in his and his patients' lives. He explains why antibiotics often fall short in chronic Lyme treatment, how herbs support cellular health and immunity, and how healing must be terrain-focused rather than diagnosis-driven.
