In "Keys to Solo Longevity I", I established a few foundational principles. First of all, there is a clear difference in a Ford and a Honda. I prefer my cleaning machine to operate more like a Honda. They last longer and require less maintenance... and I shared this from my experience having owned 4 Fords and 8 Hondas in 30 years. Secondly, we deconstructed the domination and longevity of all-time sports greats Tom Brady, Cal Ripken, Jr., Serena Williams, and Roger Federer. Each of these greats believed very deeply that we will get out of our machines what we put into them. I shared the sleeping, dietary, and exercise training routines of each. Serena valued strength training through HIIT, while her male counterpart in tennis Roger Federer valued 12 hours of sleep per day. Cal valued exercise and strength training more after each birthday, which helped him to become MLB's Iron Man. Tom does everything. He's a cyborg. Can we emulate what these peak performers have done? We can try! In this episode, I will share my own health journey and winning routines. It's my hope that you can make a small change and stay consistent over time so you can reap the rewards of a long solo cleaning career.Step aside Tom Brady and Serena Williams. Here comes Ken Carfagno. My professional solo cleaning career started at 28. At this point, my solo cleaning stats are ranked #1 in the industry. I guess that makes me the G.O.A.T., which means I'll be inducted into the Solo Cleaning Hall of Fame. Oh, you didn't know about that... did you?! Maybe I'll start it. Anyway, I'm still in the field cleaning every week, but no where near what I used to do solo. I'm 45-years-old and have dealt with my share of ups and downs. I've torn both meniscus in my knees, a tendon in my right elbow, and sprained my left wrist. Injury has been difficult. I've dealt with major fatigue, nausea, vertigo, and brain fog in my 8 year battle against Chronic Lyme Disease. I know what chronic symptoms are like and have fought through them. I have woken up at 6am to clean all day after no sleep as we raised 5 babies over the years. They tend to keep you from sleep. I share this to relate to you. I have been there, yet I have been consistent for 17 years. What has set me apart? I believe it's several daily habits.Sleep - I agree with Roger Federer that sleep is vital. Outside of my late cleaning nights or sleepless baby nights, I have disciplined myself to follow the advice in Shawn Stevenson's book "Sleep Smarter". I firmly believe that sleep is the foundation of a great day. I believe it is a keystone or cornerstone habit. It's the one ring that controls the others. I don't always hit this goal. I aim to wind down from the day, cut the screens off, take my nighttime vitamins, and get to sleep by 10:30pm and wake up by 6:30am. That's 8 hours on an ideal night.Water & Vitamins - I drink 2 pints of purified water or around 30 ounces first-thing! This gives my internals a morning bath and gets things moving (if you know what I mean). I also take my morning vitamins including a multivitamin, Omega 3, Vitamin D, NAC, and possibly other supplements that were part of a healing protocol of the time.Bible - I love starting my day with my Creator by listening to the bible while I exercise, get ready, shower. I also enjoy reading the bible or a devotional and praying. This sets my day toward others with gratitude.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

Chronic Lyme disease, characterized by persistent symptoms that can linger for months or even years, is a growing concern for both patients and healthcare providers. Traditionally, Lyme disease has been seen as a straightforward infection—diagnosed early, treated with antibiotics, and resolved. However, for a significant number of people, Lyme disease can evolve into a chronic condition, marked by ongoing fatigue, pain, and cognitive issues. But what if much of this chronic suffering could be prevented? Recent insights suggest that the progression to chronic Lyme disease might be mitigated, or even prevented, by focusing on several key factors. This approach is similar to how we prevent other chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes or heart disease: through early detection and appropriate treatment. **The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment** One of the most critical steps in preventing chronic Lyme disease is the early diagnosis and treatment of the infection. When a patient presents with a tick bite or early symptoms of Lyme disease, such as the characteristic erythema migrans rash, it's vital to begin treatment promptly. Early intervention with antibiotics like doxycycline can significantly reduce the risk of the infection progressing to a chronic stage. Moreover, it's essential to maintain a vigilant follow-up process. Even after initial treatment, patients should be asked to return for evaluation if symptoms persist or recur. Lyme disease can sometimes be insidious, with symptoms reappearing after what seems like successful treatment. Regular follow-ups allow healthcare providers to monitor the patient's progress and catch any signs of relapse early. **Look for Co-Infections** Co-infections are another critical factor in the progression of Lyme disease to a chronic condition. Ticks often carry more than just Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease—they can also transmit other pathogens like Babesia, Bartonella, and Anaplasma. These co-infections can complicate the clinical picture and may require different treatments. It's important to test for and consider co-infections, especially if a patient's symptoms do not resolve with standard Lyme treatment. Addressing all possible infections early on can prevent the persistence and worsening of symptoms. **Consider Retreatment** In cases where initial treatment does not fully resolve the symptoms, it may be necessary to consider retreatment. Clinical judgment plays a crucial role here. While some cases of Lyme disease respond well to the standard course of antibiotics, others may require a more prolonged or alternative treatment approach. Retreatment should be considered for patients who continue to experience significant symptoms, particularly if they show signs of ongoing infection or co-infections. **Follow-Up Care is Crucial** Consistent follow-up care is essential in managing Lyme disease and preventing its progression to a chronic state. Even after symptoms appear to have resolved, patients should be monitored for any signs of recurrence or new symptoms. Chronic Lyme disease can sometimes develop months or even years after the initial infection, making long-term follow-up a key component of care. **Environmental Awareness and Preventive Measures**  **Raising Awareness and Improving Access to Care** 

My patient's understanding of Lyme disease and its complexities was incomplete. Although he was familiar with nymphal ticks, he lacked awareness about adult ticks, which also play a crucial role in transmitting Lyme disease. He knew about the Bull's-eye erythema migrans rash, a clear sign of early Lyme disease, but was unaware of the other types of rashes associated with chronic Lyme disease or different tick-borne infections. He had heard of early Lyme disease but didn't realize that chronic Lyme disease could develop if the infection isn't treated adequately. While he knew about Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), he didn't understand that PTLDS might be related to a persistent infection rather than just residual symptoms after treatment. He was aware of the recommendation to take a single dose of doxycycline to prevent an erythema migrans rash, but didn't know that this approach isn't proven to prevent other serious manifestations of Lyme disease, such as Lyme arthritis, Lyme carditis, or neurological Lyme disease. Although he understood the basics of the two-tier laboratory test for Lyme disease, he was not informed that Lyme disease often remains a clinical diagnosis due to the limitations of current testing. Furthermore, he didn't grasp the importance of identifying and managing co-infections. For example, he didn't realize that Babesia, a common co-infection, can't be treated with doxycycline alone and requires specific antiparasitic medications. He was also unaware of the potential for treatment failures and relapses, which complicate the management of Lyme disease and its co-infections. Closing these gaps in public health information is essential for improving patient outcomes. Providing thorough education on these topics can empower patients to recognize symptoms, understand treatment options, and make informed decisions about their healthcare."

Having a child with a complex illness can be especially challenging for parents because of differing opinions among providers about causes, symptoms and treatments for disorders such as long COVID and chronic Lyme. “A common theme I would hear from parents is that they really had to push their providers to consider Lyme. Sometimes they even had to beg for testing to be done because it just wasn't considered a possibility,” says Dr. Charlotte Mao, a pediatric infectious disease physician working with leading foundations in the Lyme disease and associated infections arena.  Adding to challenge is that kids often have trouble explaining their symptoms, says Dr. Lael Yonker, a pediatric pulmonologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. “I think takes a lot of patience by the pediatrician, listening carefully to the parents and patient, and really trying to dig into what their symptoms actually mean.” Join host Raven Baxter of The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai as she draws out valuable guidance on how providers can work effectively with both children and parents during a journey laden with uncertainty. Key tips include having humility for the limits of your own knowledge, keeping an open mind for unexpected possibilities and having respect for what patients know about their own body. Don't miss this wisdom drop from these deeply experienced pediatricians and researchers as our series on Post-Acute Infection Syndromes continues. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

One key theme in this episode of Raise the Line is that attention to details matters for both patients with post-acute infection syndromes and the clinicians helping them as they grapple with often debilitating symptoms caused by dysautonomia, cardiac complications and other disorders. For patients, it's about paying close attention to their bodies and diet, and being intentional about their use of energy. For providers, it's listening very carefully to patients as they describe their fatigue, pain, lightheadedness and other symptoms and keeping up with the latest research on  treatments so there are options to offer if there's little or no progress being made in physical therapy, which is sometimes the case. “Don't just assume therapy is gonna go smooth. It rarely goes smooth. So, have an answer for the patient who says, ‘I'm not feeling better, what should I try next,'” says Dr. David Putrino, director of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at Mount Sinai. It's also important to set expectations for patients who may think a few weeks of PT will resolve their issues, as is often the case with recovery from an injury. “What we're looking to do is reduce the number of flare-ups that happen, reduce the severity of those flare-ups, and ideally reach a point of symptom stability,” says Dr. Jenna Tosto, a leading expert in neurophysiological rehabilitation at Mount Sinai. To help patients understand the amount of progress happening, if any, host Dr. Raven Baxter, a long COVID patient herself, says keeping a daily journal and using fitness trackers can reveal important details. This expansive conversation includes valuable insights for patients and providers alike on breathwork, emotional regulation and other techniques to try during the search for improvement and recovery in complex chronic illnesses. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health SystemSteven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation

That's, that can't cure you, that's, that's impossible. Like, talking about nutrition or I did some resonance therapy, which is like, like energy healing. And people were consistently telling me it's a waste of time, or a waste of money or a waste of resources. And not only was the worry in my head that it's not going to be enough was that tough, but it was also going against what everybody around me was saying was a little hard. But I have Lauren, my, my now wife, and she was always in my corner. But for people that are struggling and wanting to change something, I think that the hardest thing to do is to get rid of the opinions of others because that's, that's tough. Lesley Logan 0:49  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:31  Oh my gosh, Be It babe. Okay. So I find it's important to share interesting stories where there's an overcome of challenge. Because I think it's so easy to look at people building businesses building things and think they have it all together, their life has been so easy. And not everyone shares with you their journey to get to where they are. And I'm not saying that they have to. Also, because sometimes people just don't want to repeat the story that they've already told. But I think and like today's episode, especially, it can maybe help you understand that pretty much most people create things based on the journey that got them there. And I find that some of the best inventions, and the greatest things that I've you know, especially in my life that have happened, have all if I look back as hindsight that 2020 I can see that came from this version of a rock bottom. And I share this with you because I've met a few people in like in a rock bottom zone, and they just want it to be over. And I really love to say like, you know, if this is your rock bottom, like do not, do not wish it over. Like do not wish it never happened because some of the greatest things in your life are going to come from this, right? So today's guest is Jordan Dunin, Founder of HatchPath and it's a really cool company, I'll let him tell you all about it. And like what it's meant to do and what it's designed for. But also, like, if you're watching this on the YouTube version of it, you're gonna see my face just like, like I get more and more stunned as he tells a story of what he overcame. And I think it's important for you to hear that because I know that you're probably going through something right now. Or you're just, you feel like you're on the other side of it and you're wondering, like, why did that happen? What am I supposed to do next? Or maybe you forgot how far you've come. And maybe this episode can be a reminder that you're doing amazing things. And being it till you see it is not the easiest thing to do. And it doesn't mean that it's all shiny roses and rainbows and sometimes you're being it till you see it and then you go cry in your bed a little bit because it's hard to become that version of you that you believe you are meant to be. I hope you'll like today's episode. And here's Jordan Dunin. Lesley Logan 3:40  All right Be It babe. I'm so excited for our guest today, Jordan Dunin is here and off camera, off recording, we've just realized that like, you know, everything that looks like it's all together and organized. There's like all these apps for everything. And really, it just makes us all realize like, we can have very different lives and all need a different app to make sure the dogs are in the house, the babies are asleep. I'm just really impressed by you, Jordan, how organized you are. And I'm so excited to talk with you about coaching and your life to that. So can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Jordan Dunin 4:11  Yeah, thank you so much for having me. First of all, and I'm Jordan. I am, I guess my title is the founder of HatchPath. But I'm a dad. I'm a life coach. I just ran a half marathon. So I guess I'm a half marathoner. And most importantly, I guess I'm human. But that being said, my journey all started in 2016 when I suffered a traumatic brain injury, so I dove off a dock at a friend's cottage so I'm from Canada. So up north, we have a bunch of lakes and is called Muskoka. For those of you that know it. It's a lot of fun. But I hit the bottom and I actually compressed fractured my entire C spine. I tore off my rectus capitis. I needed 15 staples in my scalp. And I slipped suffered a traumatic brain injury. Pretty, I was pretty embarrassed about it. So I didn't tell anybody really. And I skipped all the imaging and at the time I was working in finance. So all the numbers on the screen are really smaller and smaller, I was popping Advil at the desk. This is before I became into health, obviously. And I was going to my final year of university, I was always a Dean's List scholar. And my parents were in Africa at the time. And I remember texting them saying, hey, I quit school. And I'm in my fourth and final year of my business degree. And then I got home and never felt depression before and I had to watch all my friends graduate while I was sick at home, and then in 2017, I was actually diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. And for people with Lyme. I know there's a lot so I'm sure there's some listening, it typically becomes active after a trauma. So mine was physical. I think the emotional side actually triggered it more. But it can be through relationship trauma, childhood trauma, physical trauma, your immunity gets suppressed so far that the virus or the bacteria they think actually becomes active. So I was diagnosed in 2017. Over a four-year period as a net caller for four years lost 70 pounds, I was extremely depressed and pain every day. I was told I had multiple surgeries I didn't want to have including one that was to repair a ruptured artery and my sinus. Lesley Logan 6:13  Oh my god, this isn't, okay, like, if you are watching us on YouTube, my face is just like, okay, there's because I'm just like, you hit your head. And you're like, trying to be cool. Like, I'm good. I'm fine. I can't believe the hospital even let you be good and fine. Like, can you believe it? And then you just tried to live your life with like a compressed C-spine. And like, all this stuff, and it was basically like, so, so just because I want to understand this. Do they think you already had the Lyme disease and the hit of the head triggered it to become active or was it the emotional trauma afterwards? Like when did the what did you catch Lyme do you know?Jordan Dunin 6:52  I think it like we have to back up like a decade. So, like previously is always getting sick. In the winter I was like becoming antibiotic resistant for the amount of antibiotics that I was prescribed as a child that I thought I was diagnosed with bronchitis really young. So every winter I was on like high doses of antibiotics and it just cycled into sinus infections, ear infections. And just every time I was sick, there was a drug for it. And that's Western medicine for you. There's a drug for everything. And then, okay, fast, fast, fast, fast forward to the incident, I was at school, I was kind of trying to take care of myself who'd been like three years away living from home. And my lifestyle was great. Like it was a lot of partying, it was a lot of not eating anything that has any nutritional value. And I think it was kind of burning the candles at both ends. And I don't know how I contracted the illness. A lot of people say that it's a tech, I'm more open to the fact that it can be airborne, sexually transmitted, you name it, I think that there's a number of ways that it can be contracted. I've never been or I never knew that I was bitten by a tick if it was but the running theory is that my trauma activated it. But I've always had awkward blood panels I've always had like insane inflammation markers. I was always likeLesley Logan 8:07  So there was always something kind of there and they were just putting the pieces together because Lyme is very tricky from what I understand for any even if you know you got bit by a tick, it's very tricky diagnose. Okay, so your parents are African, you're like quitting school. And then you end up having multiple surgeries and like your life just changed, went from being a young, active person to like, you know, having multiple surgeries like that's really hard to go through.Jordan Dunin 8:29  Yeah, the first surgery was because I had an MRI on my head and they figured out some damage and they actually saw that my sinuses were filled with infection. And it was they were like you cannot physically heal until you remove this infection. So the first surgery I didn't know any better than to listen to the doctors they went in they drilled out my entire like sinuses. And four weeks later actually ruptured an artery above my left eye, it was like a faucet of, too much information but, is like a faucet of blood and I spent the night in emerg and then they thought they're gonna have to take my eye out to stop the bleeding. Lesley Logan 8:30  Oh my god. Jordan Dunin 8:58  I went into surgery thinking that they're going to take my eye out. Anyways, they ended up being able to go up through my nostril and cauterize the artery. And that was kind of the start of everything because at that time, my head was actually relatively okay, like, depending on the trauma, but it was getting worse. So I started to see a chiropractor, and the chiropractor had the theory that they could crack my neck enough times that I would be healthy. Lesley Logan 9:40  I'm so worried. Jordan Dunin 9:41  I don't know the theory behind that. But I saw this person for a long time. They're actually really intelligent. And I think it was just a poor case for them because the trauma to my neck was magnificent if that's a word. And at the time, it felt really good to get my neck cracked but then I found out that my neck became kind of hypermobile. And I think the actual word for that is unstable. And we didn't know that I had like, compressed fractured my spine at that time either. So then we found out through like more imaging that I had an unstable spine and I had lost the curvature it becomes straight from and then, yeah, and then I tore my rectus capitis off the back of my head, which is the muscle that turns your head. Lesley Logan 10:26  So you're just like, how old? So your like, 22, 23 at that time?Jordan Dunin 10:31  Yeah, I think it was, I think it was 21-ish, then.Lesley Logan 10:34  Oh, my gosh. And so that's really like, it's a lot of different people trying to like help what is a complex situation. First of all, I'm looking at you, you, I obviously saw you get up walk around your head turns like how did we get to like, because I feel like when your life stops, because your body is no longer feels like your own, it can be really difficult to even think about a future. And so you know, I'm just kind of curious, like, how do we how, what was that like to get, go through these surgeries, injuries, all this stuff, trauma. And also still like, think about what you want to do in your life outside of that. Jordan Dunin 11:09  There was no, I was the most negative person I think you would ever meet in the world. I had to learn positivity from my my now wife, Lauren. But at the time, it was like, why me, everybody's against me, kind of isolating myself, removing myself from friends that truly cared. But I just I was just so angry. I was so angry that they got to live their life and I didn't, and that the future looked really bad. It looked like I was going to be handicap the rest of my life that I would never have to be able to hold a job that I have to depend on my parents for the foreseeable future. I actually didn't see a future. That's the negative thing. I think a lot of people go through when they're sick is that the concept of a future contains their illness or their injury. And I, I had that condition where it's like, I couldn't envision a future without my injury and illness. But I think that I now know that's wrong. And if we can envision a future of whatever we want, it's definitely possible. Lesley Logan 12:09  Yeah, I love that you brought that up, it's like really, when you are sick, whatever that illness or injury is, like it can, there are so many unknowns, like, people who listen to podcasts before know, like, when I fractured my tibial plateau, which is nothing compared to what you went through, but as a person who like you don't get to walk on two legs for the first time in your like, knowing walking life, right? I've never broken anything before. So it's my first like, you know, injury that like set me, set me back in air quotes. And I remember being fine for a bit like going okay, we're gonna heal saw the doctor like saw the X-rays, like I know enough about the body to know that it's okay. And then also, at some point, because you're not getting that dopamine hit from the workouts you're doing, you're not getting these like hormones that help you feel like a happy person, you do become negative. And I remember like, just feeling like what is the point, and I'm not a negative person, like I was a positive person who, like watch myself go into that negativity, because I just didn't have the same routines and lifestyle that I had before. And even though I knew like in this many weeks, you can put weight on this leg. It was really hard for me to plan that many weeks ahead. Because I could not understand how I can't walk on my leg now. And I'm supposed to walk on my leg in that many weeks. Like you just can't, it's really hard to wrap your brain around. So obviously, you get healed because you ran a half marathon recently. What was the journey from like going into positivity and then getting into the coaching world? Because if you are Mr. Negativity, the most negative person in the world and I'm looking at the person who can't stop smiling, I'm just wondering how that, how that happened? Jordan Dunin 13:48  Yeah, I don't think it was overnight. I think I, in hindsight, is always 2020. And I definitely was the leading factor in my illness. And one of my favorite things that one of my coaches said to me was like, whatever your problem is, you are there, or I'm paraphrasing, but we are the only constant in all of our problems. Yeah. And that can be both like demoralizing, but also liberating. And when I, when I stopped outsourcing my happiness and I stopped, I stopped outsourcing like the cure for my illness and whatever that search was like a pill or a surgery, like it was never going to work. There was no, there's no cure. There's no there's not a single person out there that could cure anything. And when I started to internalize it actually became liberating rather than like a like an imprisonment. So the positivity came slowly at first it was fake it was faking it and then crying in my bed.Lesley Logan 14:49  I understand that. You are to me, it's been at like you're trying to be a positive person and that's hard to do when you're not naturally but you that's there is science behind if you smile when you're feeling like shit, eventually if you just keep smiling, like your brain starts to go, okay, we're smiling right now and starts to turn things around. So I love it. It's okay to cry in your bed after, but you're being positive.Jordan Dunin 15:09  Yeah. And I had to do stuff that went against everything. Like it went against my vision of the world. I think we all have like a blueprint of the world, like, our perception or the way we see things and I saw things that that guy in that white lab coat is going to fix me. And when I met my wife, she opened me up to spirituality, which took years because that was like, a hard thing to for me to unfold as growing up, where that was kind of, not a not something we did. It was hard. So now it's something like a daily ritual of mine is like breathwork, and meditation and, but that was hard. And seeing that, that I was the person who was gonna give you better, not somebody else. And it was hard, because every time I took a step in that direction, people were telling me that you're going the wrong way, you're gonna fail, or that's not gonna work, you're just gonna get sicker. That's, that can't cure you. That's, that's impossible, like talking about nutrition, or I did some resonance therapy, which is like, like energy healing. And people were consistently telling me it's a waste of time, or a waste of money or a waste of resources. And not only was the worry in my head, that it's not going to be enough was that tough, but it was also going against what everybody around me was saying was a little hard. But I had Lauren, my now wife. And she was always in my corner. But for people that are struggling and wanting to change something, I think that the hardest thing to do is to get rid of the opinions of others. Because that's, that's tough.Lesley Logan 16:43  No, you nailed it. I mean, like, because also it's like this deep fear of rejection, you know, like, when people don't, and also, like, just not being seen, right? And the reality is, like, the things you tried before that were supposed to work, weren't working, and it's not, and it's not because they intentionally didn't want them to work. They thought that they had an answer for you. When you as you're speaking this, like, you know, how, like, every people say, like, everything is happening for you. And then you're just like, okay, but like, what about the bad things? Like, what about the actual, like, legit, terrible abuse, terrible injuries, people who, like, screwed up trying to help you? And they sort of be more like, what about that? Like, how is that for you? And I heard someone say, like, we have responsibility for those things. And I was like, oh, like, you know, but then the way this person explained, it was like, because we have the ability to respond. And what you're saying, what I'm hearing you say is like you took upon this ability of yourself to go, you know, these things didn't work. And I'm gonna try this over here. And it is so hard to hear the people that you think, care about you and love, you go, that's not gonna work, and you just want to go, what I just can you just, like go along with it, but at the same time, like, that's their own fears that's their own, they have an ability to respond as well. And like, it's so cool. And it's really a great sign towards the strength, inner strength of you, when you go, nope, I'm going to I my, my ability to take this on and do this thing, because I believe it's going to work. That's my responsibility. And so I think it's just really, really cool. And I also think, like, we disregard some of the most amazing, energetic works that are out there as like on this double whoo spectrum. And, look, I am not going to say that, like if I had a cancer diagnosis, I'm not gonna go straight to the western medicine, I'm gonna be like, Yeah, please, I'll take that. And I would like to see the Reiki person and I like, we can't, it doesn't have to be either or it can be encompassing. Jordan Dunin 18:46  We can collaborate. Lesley Logan 18:47  Correct, exactly. And so I think it's really interesting when people just want to like do something just because it's different. And so it's what a strong muscle you had to create for yourself and being it and becoming this person that you are by like having to stand up against people who are doubting the decisions you're making. That's not easy to do. Jordan Dunin 19:03  Absolutely. Yeah, I think I think that's a really good point. It's like we can be collaborative with our efforts on all fronts. And I think that the hardest thing for people to understand is that it's, it's work. Like still to this day, my routine is not something that everybody would want to do in order to stay healthy, and that I didn't train for a half marathon and I was able to run one, it was just to be able to see what my my lifestyle is able to let me do. And it all comes down to what we do every single day. Like the things that we do daily become us and I think for some reason, while we're pushed in marketing and all this stuff, it's like, okay, it took me years to become this sick. It took me for me 20 years to become this sick. I'm gonna get well in two weeks. This antibiotic is gonna cure me into like the word cure is just so fickle. It's like something that it doesn't make sense to me a cure, because the only way we change is when we change. And that's what like we're bridging into like a coaching conversation. But I am not the person that was sick. That's a completely different identity. And I see people struggle with Lyme disease because they put something in their Instagram bio like chronic Lyme warrior. If you identify with an illness, how are you ever going to get past it? And there's nothing wrong with that it may be your identity, maybe something that you inherently find value in and maybe a community built, that's even stronger reason to not remove yourself from that community. So I think that habit change and identity is something that really leads to, to success. It all comes down to what we do day to day, you do something tomorrow different than today. Like for me, I'm doing all this like PR training and stuff like that. And it's hard. It's uncomfortable. But the reason it's uncomfortable is because I've never done it. It's not because I'm not meant to do it. And I feel like a lot of the times when we do change, especially for me, it was like, I didn't like Reiki it wasn't for me. No, it wasn't for me, because I've never done it before. I had to get uncomfortable with it. Got outside of my comfort zone. Doesn't mean that it's not for me, it just means that I just felt uncomfortable. It's change.Lesley Logan 21:15  Yeah, so I want to get into like, because you said something really important, like we are the things that we do every day. And like also, if it took you this long to either get sick, or if you've been sick that long. Or if you've been sedentary for whatever length of time, we just expect that we should be able to, you know, be energetic, by two weeks of going to the gym. I think it's so true. I think like people want instant gratification. Hey, I see you like I love opening presents or like, I love, I love instant gratification but Jordan Dunin 21:45  Love language. Lesley Logan 21:46  Yes, yes, yes, yes. But like, yes, but I think like, it is so true, like becoming that person you want to be and like trying things out, it's gonna take time, and you have to have that patience and consistency. I do want to get into the so like, you go through this transformation. You get into coaching. And now you're also doing something where it's like bringing coaches together. So can you explain like, what was the impetus? Like, what was your reasoning for doing that? Like, it's because you want to make other people feel better, was it because you want to do like, what made you want to do the next thing instead of going back to school? Jordan Dunin 22:21  Yeah, well, I did finish my degree. That was the first thing I did, I finished my business degree, I became a licensed personal trainer. But the journey was kind of not great. I was training people and like people wanted aesthetic changes, they wanted overnight XYZ. And then I heard about health coaching. And I realized that the person who helped me get better was essentially a health coach, they hooked me up the right practitioner, the right nutritionist, introduced me to meditation, spirituality. And it was a holistic approach to healing that I could then take on my own. So like when we talked about the difference between coaching and therapy, therapy is typically focused on problems, whereas coaching is focused on results. Like, okay, you started anywhere, we're gonna get to this result. Whereas therapy is like, where did you start? Like so the way that I looked at coaching is it's a path. So like the name HatchPath is like birthing your new journey, you're taking the path, and a coach guides you along the way. But yeah, I became a certified health and life coach, and I realized that the industry is very much like (inaudible). Yeah, there's nothing wrong with real estate agents. But the way that people view them is like, oh, you earn income off of selling other people's things, you know, like all this snake oil stuff. And same thing for health coaches, it's like there's 100,000 of them in the US unregulated. You don't have to be certified to be a health coach. You can just coach on wellness and call yourself a health coach. And I wanted to make that more trustworthy for people. I found so much benefit in my journey with someone that cared about me, had the empathy, had the answers and guided me to success, and I wanted to help people weed out the people that weren't good. The people that were just not wanting to have a nine to five and wanting to be a coach, or, you know, there's a lot of people in the industry that don't fit the mold, and it's unregulated. Lesley Logan 24:05  It's, my industry is, the Pilates industry is, it's not, it's unregulated by government. There is an organization that tries to like, you know, have some version of a true certification but like, let's just be real. In all industries, the use of certification is incorrectly used like certificates are great, but certifications who like they think they get it from the person they pay the training, like nope, that's actually not how it works. Like you don't go to if you go to law school, even at Harvard Law, you're not a lawyer till you take a regulated exam outside of the person who paid for your education. So, so I agree with you. There's like a lot. There's a lot and what's unfortunate about that is that people when they finally do take the leap to like, do the thing and hire the health coach. If they get the air quotes wrong one first. That's it. They don't they think I'm not good enough. And they don't realize that they there's, you know, they just didn't get the right one for them. And it really hurts my soul. So you, you got into what your actual training, your actual (inaudible) and you're like, wow, it's the Wild West, it's unregulated, and there's like a random bunch of people calling themselves this. It's really hard for people to get help.Jordan Dunin 25:20  Yeah, that's the end we wanted or I wanted to simplify the path to help. And so what we do is we have a verification process that's relatively simple. Any coach that wants to join us, we're free to join, we work on a transaction basis, and we have the clients on our platform for you, we'll get into what that means. But how you join is you fill out a form includes a certification, what you do, who you coach, how many years, like XYZ irregular form, and then you have a meeting with me. So I've had over 300 meetings with coaches, look for empathy. The questions are literally, what do you do? And how do you help? And we like we already know that you're certified. So we look for empathy, we want to know that you're driven by empathy, and the best coaches coach on something that they've overcome. So for me, I've overcome Lyme disease, my path is coaching people to overcome Lyme disease. Some coaches coach on anxiety, some coaches coach on weight loss, some coaches coach on weight gain, whatever it may be, we look for to see if there's empathy there. And then all things go, well, you're onboarded to our platform, and it's a true marketplace. So coaches offer their own programs. And the reason we do that is because we know that there's no one size fits all for health. And typical platforms have a system. So if you onboard to another health coaching platform, you may be put into a system that they have their coaches run, I wanted to be different in the sense that I know that there's no straight path to wellness. And I wanted to enable choice. So on our platform on the client side, we now have close to 1000 different programs to choose from on our platform, ranges from nutrition, fitness, chronic illness, mindfulness and spirituality and life and holistic health. Those are five categories. And our coaches are all verified and certified. So when you come to our platform, it's a trusted environment, we've done the vetting for you. And all you have to do is click Pay and Attend. Our full ecosystem is contained. So we're HIPAA compliant, whatever that means. But that means that your information is safe. So you never have to leave to Zoom, Google meet, you don't go through text chats or channels, we make sure that you have a really safe and easy experience with your coach. Lesley Logan 27:22  That's amazing. I think like, I think that that there's something like that legitimizes that and makes it feel less like okay, I'm in this random telegram chat with some weird person, like person I've never met before. And I'm, you know, they're gonna put crystals all over my body. Like, you know, like, I think that there's something really nice about that. I also love it. It's kind of like a dating app for a health coach. Jordan Dunin 27:44  That's it. Lesley Logan 27:45  What I love so much about what you're doing is like you had this incredible like, hit obstacle, obstacle, wall, wall, wall that was clearly guiding you down the hallway, to make sure that you could be on the path that you're on. And then instead of just like making your own health coaching thing, which you could have just done, like you could have just done your own thing and just done for Lyme people and had a good time. You're like, how do I make it easier for everyone, because I'm sure it would have been easier for you to have gone to one website to find this thing. And, you know, get a bunch of resources to work with rather than like, literally googling individual types of health coaches that could have been out there. That's just that would be overwhelming, especially when you need it. The last like I remember when I needed when I was looking for an actual therapist. I Googled like, therapists near me and it's just like thousands of people and you're like, I don't I don't even know how to start like, do I just like, eeny, meeny, miny, moe and call? You know, so I think it's really, it's really cool, what you've done, and also the vetting process. What are you most excited about HatchPath now? Like, what are you hoping it does and like the next year or so?Jordan Dunin 28:52  I'm really excited for 2024 because we've been building forever. We've been building for two years. And we just made an incredible collaboration where we have a contract with a charity that helps over 10,000 Special Ops veterans. So when I said that we have clients already on our platform, looking for coaches. So we have a deal for with them that they put money in the wallets of these veterans, families, and active military. So when they come on our platform, they can book with a coach that the charity pays for him. So it's amazing for coaches, because there's clients waiting for your help that you can make a true impact. And it's a community that we can really help. So our goal is twofold for them. We want to make sure that we have veteran coaches as well. So that coach, the military can coach the military. And also it's amazing for any coach that wants to join our platform because you can make a true impact and grow your business. So the way we work is we also have social proof metrics. So you get ratings and reviews on our platform. It's how you scale I guess you were used to it with Airbnb and yeah, Uber and all this stuff. But now we have real people awaiting your services. So yeah, this has been a year in the making. We've actually built us a specific portal for them, so they can attribute funds to people, approve people and bring this to life. And as of two days ago, I was actually in Tampa. And we made it real. So starting next week, this is all happening. Lesley Logan 30:17  Wow. Wow. Wow. So this is like, so yeah, guys, we're recording this in the middle of January like this is kind of this kind of amazing I love, you know, someone who's like created stuff, it's people don't realize the amount of time and years that things have to take to come to fruition. They think just like, you know, it's going to take two weeks to have the transformation of my life, it's, I'm going to have a business idea, and it's going to be up and running. Congratulations, Jordan, like, just what a transformation and also like, the way you're giving back, and not just to people who need help, but also the people who can help them. It's really cool. We're gonna take a brief break. And we'll find out how people can find you, find HatchPath and your Be It Action Items.Lesley Logan 30:53  Alright, Jordan, if I'm a coach, how do I like connect with you to see if I can be on your platform? And if I'm a person who has a need of a place where people have been vetted, how do I how do I do that?Jordan Dunin 31:05  It's the same answer. We're www.hatchpath.io such as H-A-T-C-H-P-A-T-H, we have a nice little page called Become a coach, if you want to become a coach, you just hit that button. If you're looking for a coach, you can browse all of our programs, our coaches, our offerings, you don't need to create an account, you can simply check out with your name and email. And then once you do that, you can add the session to your calendar. So we do everything from payments, scheduling, video conferencing, ratings, reviews, and messaging, all in one place. And it's really easy. So yeah, click, pay and attend.Lesley Logan 31:39  Yeah, that's so cool. All right. And is there any social handles that they can go and follow you at?Jordan Dunin 31:46  Absolutely. So our business social's HatchPathCoach, that's Instagram. Mine is Jordan Dunin. And that's it. Lesley Logan 31:55  Amazing. This is so cool. I'm excited for people. I also, I'll have to go back and listen, because I don't remember the exact phrase you said. But there was an amazing sentence you said about like simplicity and getting help. And I was like, That is like your that's your like little mantra. Okay, before I let you go, it's been incredible hearing your story and like to hear what you're doing in this world. But what can you leave us with, action steps, so Be It Action Items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targets steps people can take to be it till they see it. What you have for us?Jordan Dunin 32:26  Envision a goal where you have everything that you want, and how does it feel? Feel that now and then go after it. I think that the major thing that we do is, I heard a quote, I'm going to paraphrase it because it's not mine. But envision yourself living in a 500-square-foot studio apartment in New York, putting an Italian marble down, spending millions of dollars to renovate it. You're still in a 500-square-foot apartment, break down the walls, make it a mansion, make it whatever you want. I think the struggle with people is that we build our future in our box that we're in right now. Build the future however you want. Envision it, feel it and go after it.Lesley Logan 33:06  I think that's brilliant. I love that. I love that. Like also just explain like it's really easy for us to envision our future with our current reality. Yeah, yeah, that's a problem. So Jordan, you've been amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you for what you've created. Congratulations on what you've done out there because it's going to help health coaches really find their people and people find the right health coaches and and help them be it till they see it. So thank you so much, and everyone how are you going to use these tips in your life? What are you going to do next? Make sure you tag HatchPath, Jordan Dunin, and the Be It pod. Let us know how this worked out for you. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 33:44  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Dr. Rawls shares his insights into the delicate balance of our body's immune system, the often overlooked connection between stress, cellular health, and chronic disease, and how herbs play a critical role in maintaining that balance. We'll explore the controversial ideas about the presence of intracellular bacteria in cancer cells, dive into the misconceptions surrounding chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, and confront the limitations of conventional medicine -- especially its often rigid stance against the benefits of herbal therapy. Dr. Rawls will share his expertise on why a cellular approach, rather than a purely pathogen-targeted one, could revolutionize our treatment of chronic conditions, and how adapting our diet, environment, and lifestyle can foster long-term health and resilience. In this episode, Seth and Dr. Rawls discuss: Understanding Chronic Illness and Cellular Stress The Role of Pathogens in Chronic Illness Chronic Stress and its Effects on the Body Benefits of Herbal Therapy  Herbs as an Alternative to Antibiotics Tick-Borne Illnesses and Microbe Defense Levels   More about Dr. Bill Rawl  Visit Dr. Rawls website Follow @rawlsmd Instagram Get 20% off your first order at Vital Plans.

In this conversation RibeyeRach, shares her experience with chronic fatigue syndrome and how she was able to recover from it using a combination of a carnivore diet, brain retraining, and other lifestyle changes. She also talks about the importance of mindset, movement, and stepping back from illness support groups in her healing journey. Racheal emphasizes the power of listening to recovery stories and surrounding yourself with positive influences when trying to heal from a chronic illness. As technologies evolve, the roles of healthcare professionals also change.More and more, people have started taking their health and healing into their own hands, collaborating with doctors, but not letting their limiting beliefs about what can and cannot be done hold them back.Racheal has seen that chronic illness sufferers can also benefit from eating meat-based diets as well. Having healthy and supportive relationships is an important factor in healing, as well as trusting in the body's ability to heal itself.Paying attention to circadian rhythms by getting enough natural light and avoiding excessive screen time can also improve overall health. Maintaining good posture and gradually increasing movement and exercise can also be beneficial, but it's important to pace oneself and be mindful of individual limitations. Brain retraining is retraining the brain to signal safety to the brain to achieve a parasympathetic state. This can be done through practicing visualization in the form of brain retraining programs, and belief work to let go of limiting beliefs. Somatic practices, such as body-centered modalities, can also help with releasing tension and enhancing awareness. Having an open mind and starting with curiosity can aid in changing limiting beliefs and allowing for healing to take place."My name is Rachael, and I am currently healing from many years of seveThank you so much for listening to my podcast.

CARA'S ADVICE:  "Make a conscious decision about what voice you're using and realizing that you have that power. This is something you're telling yourself. You have control over what you tell yourself, and you have control over how you describe your obstacles and how you experience what's happening to you. We can immediately change the conversation and drop complaining about how ridiculous our quota is and how we'll never hit it, and how stupid our customers are, and how tired we are, and how dumb everything is, and how we never get enough help. All of a sudden, those are fantastic challenges for this amazing hero who somehow always manages to thrive despite ridiculousness thrown his way."

Have you ever felt the profound peace of being known and loved, imperfections and all? Join us, as we continue into the new year with hearts wide open, embracing the sublime truths nestled within Psalm 139. Our conversation traverses through the valleys and peaks of being fully understood by God, echoed in the children's book called "The Run Away Bunny," and the life-changing realization that our deepest fears of unworthiness are quelled by divine acceptance.With a fresh start upon us, we gather around the spiritual campfire to share a unique praise fest grounded in Psalm 139's opening verses. This practice guides us towards a more intimate relationship with the Lord, who knows our thoughts before they even take shape. Our personal anecdotes and metaphors serve to illustrate the transformative impact of recognizing God's omnipresence, infusing our everyday walk with a sense of security and purpose.The episode then leads us down a path of self-discovery and gratitude, even amidst the thorns of suffering. You'll hear about Christina's wrestling match with chronic Lyme disease, a testament to the intricate tapestry of life's pain and beauty. We then venture into the New Testament, seeking solace and strength, and learn how our trials can carve a deeper space for intimacy with the Lord. This heartfelt exchange is an invitation to join us in celebrating our design, confronting our struggles, and pursuing an unobstructed relationship with our ever-present God.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

In the latest episode of the Simply Fit Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Dunin. Jordan is the Founder and CEO of HatchPath, is a certified health and life coach, and survivor of Chronic Lyme Disease and a Traumatic Brain Injury.

This is episode 13 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast. Fred Diamond's popular book, "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know" offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support. On today's podcast, Fred interviews Lindsay Keys, co-director of the smash hit documentary "The Quiet Epidemic." The Quiet Epidemic was released in 2022 and provides an amazing perspective on the political issues concerning Lyme disease and the CDC's unsatisfactory history acknowledging that chronic Lyme even exists. On October 27, 2023, the CDC quietly added a page on its website that lists the bacteria that causes #Lymedisease as an infection that can cause chronic symptoms. On this show, we unpack what this really means. Is it the big deal that some think it is? Or not. If someone you love has been afflicted with Lyme disease, listen to this podcast now. The e-version of Fred's book is always free for Lyme survivors. Just reach out to Fred on Facebook or LinkedIn. The print copy can be ordered at https://www.amazon.com/Love-Hope-Lyme-Partners-Survivor-ebook/dp/B0B9Q8LX7G/.

In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Michelle B. Slater, PHD about her book Starving to Heal in Siberia.  After working with a team of medical experts, trying everything in the book and contemplating assisted suicide, Michelle went all the way to Siberia as a last effort to heal from late-stage Lyme Disease, a chronic illness that devestated her. She spent months in Siberia where she was monitored by a Russian physician and engaged in a rigorous dry-fasting routine, along with other more unconventional therapies. Michelle credits dry-fasting for putting her on the path to healing.What drives a person to go all the way to Siberia to engage in an unconventional therapy that many would consider risky and dangerous? What did her team of conventional doctors, friends and family think? What do folks suffering with chronic illness do and feel if all conventional approaches to treatment have been exhausted, but the person just isn't getting better?  Michelle answers that, and more, in the podcast. *PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Eeks does not recommend anyone hopping on a plane to Siberia to try dry-fasting. She does not endorse dry-fasting. This podcast episode is not an endorsement of Siberia or dry-fasting or dry-fasting in Siberia. Eeks works in public health, doesn't practice medicine, and advises everyone to work with their team of doctors when it comes to overcoming a chronic illness. She didn't know much of anything about dry-fasting until she read Michelle's book, and there are currently no peer-reviewed published studies to support its effectiveness. She doesn't think she'd make it through the Siberia routine, but everyone is wired differently. (She once went to a juice camp where they ban coffee, but feeling like a tranquilized bear, she ended up breaking the rules and running to a mini mart to sneak some in.) However..., she recommends reading Michelle's book because it's a compelling close-up look of what it's like for someone struggling day after day with a chronic illness and what happens when a feeling of hopelessness starts to set in. This is a podcast (not news or advice or Gospel), and this episode is one woman sharing her story. (Apologies for the long disclaimer, but we need them in today's painfully reductive, slap-label-happy world.)

Model Bella Hadid and Actress Riley Keough are the latest celebrities to publicly speak about the treatment they undergo for Chronic Lyme Disease. The weird part? Chronic Lyme is not recognized as an actual illness by the CDC and most doctors believe it's part of a pseudoscience scam. I go down the rabbit hole so you don't have to. Let's talk about pain, privilege, and having a body. IG: @hivemindpopculture X: @hivemindthepod

People ask me about my personal experience with Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) all the time. What I want to share with others is that even when it feels like the worst crisis ever, there is still hope. I'll be sharing with you today some of the things that have helped me in my PANS journey as well as thousands of families I have worked with, because when you take a step towards science-back solutions that calm and regulate the brain, you'll get to where you need to go. The story of how my son's life changed.My story starts with my son, Max, getting bitten by a tick at 22 months and we didn't know it at the time. This happened back in the winter of 2000s and up until the present, we don't know enough about ticks but the good thing is that I had already been working with families regarding this.After getting bitten, we noticed the drastic change with our son. In the winter of December 2006, Max started getting a fever and as a mom, I was worried and alert and so, we took a holistic approach in treating him. After that, his personality and eating habits changed. He became a poor sleeper and that worried us a lot.He started acting out and he was always angry and irritable. It was such a big turn from being so pleasant and engaging to being so cranky and difficult. But thanks to our naturopath, we were able to identify what was sort of triggering Max which is dairy. After removing dairy products in Max's food, there was a bit of improvement. Max got bitten by another tick within six months and thankfully, we knew about it this time as compared to the first time. And so, we started doing treatments but his state just keeps on declining. This affected his sleep so much, affecting his health even more. My journey isn't the same as everybody's because I already knew this was a case of Chronic Lyme Disease but now I call it PANS. Luckily, we were able to meet with Dr. Charles Ray Jones who has treated more than 15,000 children from all over the world for tick-borne diseases.This is a marathon not a sprint. We've been doing a lot of things all at once. We have to keep in mind that healing is a continuous process. You can't just do a single thing and disregard everything else. The same way that you can't improve the immune system without treating the infection or calming the brain.We have emphasized in our previous episodes that the brain is not going to heal if you don't calm it. In line with this, there's a need to have behavioral support and parenting support.Working with therapists, psychologists, or behavioral experts who can provide guidance on behavior management techniques, coping skills, and strategies to address issues such as impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and anxiety is an option.Parenting support is particularly important as it provides parents with the tools and resources they need to provide the best possible care for their PANS kids. It can include teaching good communication skills and offering emotional support.Also, you have to really monitor what's happening with your child and the effects of the treatments you're doing. For us, we've noticed that the worst thing that actually ever happened to Max was undergoing integrative listening therapy. That completely destabilized him and brought on the worst flare ever. Homeschooling and alternative schooling.Homeschooling served Max very well. In fact, he is already completing high school. The good thing is that he is now more regulated and calm. Of course, this wouldn't have been possible as well if not for our practitioner – Lauren Lee Stone. If you haven't listened to my podcast episode with her, I suggest you check it out. Although homeschooling is beneficial especially when your child is dealing with flares or an intense treatment regimen, it should be noted that...

On this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, we are switching things up to take on a very important topic— Chronic Lyme Disease. Jeb Blount (Sales Gravy) and Fred Diamond, co-founder of the Institute for Excellence in Sales (IES) discuss Fred's latest book, Love, Hope, Lyme and his personal journey supporting a loved one with Chronic Lyme Disease. You'll learn what Lyme Disease is, the devastating effects that Chronic Lyme Disease has on hundreds of thousands of people each year, why prevention is key, and how you can support anyone in your life who is battling a chronic illness. Living With Chronic Lyme Disease Living with loved one who has Chronic Lyme Disease can be emotionally and mentally challenging, as the condition can cause a wide range of symptoms that can affect the person's physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Your loved one may experience depression, anxiety, and irritability as a result of their condition. Fred discusses how important it is to be supportive, patience, and understanding. He explains that everyone's experience with Chronic Lyme Disease is different, so it's important to be flexible and open to different approaches to treatment and care. One of the most difficult aspects of living with someone who has Chronic Lyme Disease is dealing with the person's ongoing fatigue and pain. These symptoms can make it difficult for the person to perform daily tasks and can also affect their mood and ability to socialize. But, as Fred says, where there is love, there is hope. What is Lyme Disease Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. It is primarily spread through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, also known as deer ticks. The black-legged tick is found in wooded, brushy, and grassy areas, and when it bites, it can transmit the bacteria to the person. The most common early symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain, and a bull's-eye rash. The rash, called erythema migraines (EM), usually appears at the site of the tick bite and can expand to become a large red area. Chronic Lyme Disease Chronic Lyme disease, also known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), is a condition that can occur after a person has been treated for an initial infection with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. People with PTLDS may continue to experience symptoms, such as fatigue, pain, and cognitive difficulties, long after the bacteria have been cleared from their body. Fred explains that this is why it is difficult and frustrating for people who are living with Chronic Lyme disease to get physicians and loved ones to believe them. The cause of PTLDS is not fully understood, but it is thought that it may be related to ongoing inflammation or damage to tissues caused by the initial infection. Some researchers also believe that the bacteria may persist in the body, despite treatment, and continue to cause symptoms. Lyme Disease Symptoms The symptoms of Lyme disease can vary widely and may be different for each person. The most common symptoms include: Erythema migrans (EM) rash: A bull's-eye rash that appears at the site of the tick bite, usually within 3 to 30 days after the tick bite. The rash can expand to become a large red area and may or may not be itchy or painful. Flu-like symptoms: fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes. Neurological symptoms: difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and headaches. Some people may also experience facial palsy, which is a temporary weakness or drooping of the facial muscles. Cardiovascular symptoms: irregular heartbeats, or chest pain. Arthritis: joint pain and swelling, especially in the knees. Bell's palsy: It is a sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. Symptoms of Lyme disease can appear in stages.

The CDC does not recognize the existence of chronic Lyme disease, and yet many Americans claim to suffer from it. The new documentary, "The Quiet Epidemic," explores the stories of those struggling with the aftermath of Lyme disease, and the doctors determined to get to the bottom of what might be happening. Directors Winslow Crane-Murdoch and Lindsay Keys join us to discuss the film, which will be screening with a Q&A tonight at 7 at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/freerangeinterview Our kids need us now more than ever... -Why are our children more sick, unfocused and depressed than any generation before them?  -Is a shift in childhood education happening, what will it look like?  -Why are more people homeschooling and unschooling than ever, and could it work for a busy family? -What is authoritarian parenting and schooling, and how will it hurt my child in their adult life?  -If discipline doesn't feel right, what is the alternative?  -How can we reverse autism and chronic disease and what role do vaccines really play? These questions and more were addressed in the recent Raising Free Range Kids conference, at which Yours Truly was invited to give a presentation on parenting. To be quite honest, I don't feel at all qualified to speak with authority on the topic of parenting as I've yet to finish the job of raising my two boys. I'd just as soon someone who has raised children into adulthood be a speaker at such an event, at which you'd find me on the front row taking copious notes. But in spite of my objections, conference organizer Robin Shirley insisted she interview me, my wife Jessa and my two boys River and Terran via Zoom about the lifestyle, rituals and experiences of life in the Greenfield home, and that interview is what you'll hear on today's episode. And you'll forgive the cow tongue meat occasionally stuck in my teeth... We did the call while we were having dinner! Meet Robin Shirley Robin Shirley is the Founding President of Take Back Your Health Int'l, a company that hosts health conferences and retreats across the U.S. She speaks, consults and writes about The Take Back Your Health Lifestyle and how to reduce the symptoms of chronic illness, especially in children. Robin is a mother of two beautiful babies, a passionate cook, a Medical Intuitive, Reiki Master Practitioner, Energy Healer, Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and a member of the American Board of Drugless Practitioners. She has helped thousands of people overcome the symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease, Autoimmune Disease and Depression through her energy healing sessions, intuitive readings, and nutrition, detoxification and healing protocols. Robin grew up with chronic pain, headaches, rashes, depression, digestive discomfort and out-of-control systemic inflammation, and was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 11 years old. She tried everything to heal naturally. Food overhauls helped a little, supplements helped a little, but nothing truly took the pain away. At 23 years old, Robin was on track to file for disability and give up on her dream to run her own hospitality company. Robin has personally experienced the power of a natural approach to reducing pain and inflammation. Fast forward and Robin is now 32 years old, a mother of two beautiful babies, fiancé to the love of her life and running the business of her dreams. She  is in the process of writing her first book and launching online healing programs for chronically ill patients to get healthy from home.
