Is it really just a headache—or is your brain trying to tell you something deeper? If you've ever shrugged off recurring headaches or mislabeled your pain as a "migraine" without really knowing the difference, you're not alone. The truth is, many people—and even some clinicians—still don't fully understand what makes a migraine different from a headache. And that misunderstanding? It leads to missed diagnoses, mistreatment, and a whole lot of people suffering in silence, thinking, “This is just my new normal.” But what if the pain isn't your final story? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Thompson Maesaka of The Neural Connection—a specialist with deep personal and clinical experience in neurological healing—who's here to break down what's really happening inside the brain during a migraine. From misunderstood symptoms to game-changing interventions, he's sharing what he's learned after years of clinical work and his own healing journey from concussion, Lyme disease, and chronic neurological dysfunction.     BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: The key differences between a migraine and a headache (and why that matters) What's actually happening in the brain during a migraine episode—spoiler: it's more like a seizure than a headache The outdated beliefs that are still holding patients (and practitioners) back Why “this is your new normal” is one of the most harmful things a clinician can say—and what should be said instead     This episode is a call to curiosity, compassion, and a completely different way of looking at migraine care. Tune in—you'll never think about head pain the same way again.    

This is episode 58 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast. To get your free pdf of "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know," reach out to Fred Diamond on social media. [NOTE: This podcast does not replace medical treatment. If you struggle with Lyme care, please see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.} What is Lyme rage—and why does it change who you are? In this powerful episode of Love, Hope, Lyme, host Fred Diamond talks with Dr. Darin Ingels, a Lyme-literate naturopathic doctor and Lyme survivor, about one of the most misunderstood aspects of chronic Lyme disease: the emotional and neurological impact of Lyme rage. Dr. Ingels shares his personal journey—from bullseye rash to relapse, from failed antibiotics to healing through Chinese herbal medicine—and breaks down why Lyme disease and co-infections like Bartonella can lead to brain inflammation, emotional dysregulation, personality shifts, and even explosive rage.

The tiny creatures lurking in your backyard could change your life forever. Shira Haid knows this reality all too well, having battled severe tick-borne illnesses that left her unable to walk or speak. Today, she's turning that painful experience into purpose through her educational platform, Lemon or Lime.What began as a website has blossomed into a YouTube channel and growing social media presence dedicated to demystifying tick-borne diseases like Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella. Shira's mission is clear: provide the resource she desperately needed during her own diagnostic journey that took three years and left her disabled.Throughout our conversation, Shira shatters dangerous myths about tick-borne diseases. The CDC's claim that ticks must be attached for 36-48 hours to transmit disease? False – some infections can transfer in just 15 minutes. That famous bullseye rash everyone associates with Lyme? Only 20-30% of patients ever develop it. And the notion that ticks only exist in wooded areas of the Northeast? Wrong again – they're virtually everywhere except Antarctica, including desert states at higher elevations.Perhaps most alarming is Shira's discussion of co-infections and emerging threats like Alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-transmitted condition causing potentially life-threatening allergic reactions to mammalian products – including medications. With 70% of pharmaceuticals containing mammalian ingredients, this presents a frightening challenge for affected patients.For those concerned about prevention, Shira offers practical advice: treat clothing with permethrin, use Picaridin lotion on exposed skin, perform regular tick checks, and maintain shorter lawn heights. Hunters and hikers should consider specialized clothing with elastic cuffs that prevent ticks from accessing skin.Connect with Shira on YouTube and Instagram @LemonorLime (remember, that's Lyme with a Y!) and join her mission to raise awareness about these devastating but preventable diseases.Send us a text Are you living with a chronic illness and want to make your voice heard?

How much would you endure to save your life and your child's? Mary Lyn Hammer takes us on an extraordinary journey through the medical wilderness of Lyme disease, revealing the devastating reality of this widely misunderstood condition.After being bitten by a tick during a business conference, Mary Lynn spent six and a half years suffering through debilitating symptoms while doctors repeatedly missed her diagnosis. The disease struck during her pregnancy, passing to her unborn daughter and setting them both on a path of chronic illness. From extreme skier to someone who couldn't walk up stairs, Mary Lyn watched her vibrant life fade away despite visiting countless medical professionals.When finally diagnosed, she faced a treatment ordeal that would challenge the strongest spirit. With a six-figure medical debt accumulating and her daughter showing cognitive challenges, Mary Lyn refused to accept conventional wisdom about chronic Lyme. Her turning point came through discovering the role of biofilms in protecting the bacteria from treatment – a breakthrough that eventually led to complete recovery for both mother and daughter.The revelation that Lyme disease can be sexually transmitted and passed in utero reveals why entire families often suffer without understanding why. Through years of research and personal experimentation, Mary Lynn developed a comprehensive three-phase protocol that has condensed recovery time from years to just months. Her approach addresses not just the bacterial infection but the complex immune dysfunction and detoxification challenges that make Lyme so difficult to overcome.Today, Mary Lyn's daughter is 24, a college graduate thriving without limitations. Through her platform Champion for Life and her book "Over My Dead Body," Mary Lynn is bringing hope to countless sufferers who've been told their condition is untreatable or imaginary. If you or someone you love is battling unexplained chronic symptoms, her story might hold the answers you've been seeking.Join the What if it Did Work movement on FacebookGet the Book!www.omarmedrano.comwww.calendly.com/omarmedrano/15min

They dive into: ✔️ Why every participant wanted to keep their device after the study ✔️ The surprising connection between vagus nerve stimulation, weight loss, and anxiety relief ✔️ How PEMF helped both humans and animals — from allergies to emotional regulation ✔️ The power of custom protocols for tackling food addiction, inflammation, and trauma ✔️ Why feedback from friends and family may matter more than you think ✔️ How PEMF and peptide technology are fueling a new era of personalized health tools Whether you're managing chronic illness, looking for innovative solutions to stress and inflammation, or curious about the intersection of tech and healing — this conversation is packed with practical insight and inspiring takeaways.

Athena Brownson, a former professional skier who competed for 14 years before becoming a top Denver realtor speaks to Doug in this episode. Athena talks about the challenges she faced after multiple surgeries and becoming chronically ill from lyme disease. She shares why the goal-setting techniques that made her an elite athlete became her lifeline through chronic illness and her approach in real estate. Doug and Athena also explore morning routines, Athena's "greatness tracker" system, and how she transforms nervous energy into excitement. Athena and Doug give actionable strategies for approaching goals, especially when facing adversity.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Tough coaching taught Athena consequences and accountability. Her coaches ensured there would be consequences if she wasn't following instructions or skiing to her fullest potential, teaching her resilience and showing up. Lyme disease took Athena from athletic peak to chronic pain, she was diagnosed eight and a half years ago, going from top athlete to barely getting out of bed with 10 out of 10 pain. Athena writes goals in present tense daily as part of her morning routine. She learned to write "I am healing, I am healthy, I am full of energy" even when those things weren't true, creating neural pathways in her brain. Athena created a greatness tracker system for weekly accountability, she prints out weekly action items including face to face meetings, phone calls, notes, open houses, events, plus health goals like gym visits and clean eating. Visualisation has always helped Athena achieve her goals. If she could visualise landing a trick she'd never tried in her head, she knew she could land it in real life; now she visualises sales and happy clients. Real estate requires the same mentality Athena had as an athlete, she believes you need "a little bit of psychosis" to succeed in real estate, the same type athletes have. Goal setting prevents Athena from going on disability despite chronic illnesses, most people in her position go on bed rest and disability, but if she did that she'd be so depressed it would be game over for he. Athena views manifestation as consistent goal-writing by hand, writing goals by hand tells your brain what's important and helps recognise opportunities, making manifestation practical. BEST MOMENTS "I've pretty much been setting goals since I came out of the womb, even if it was unintentional."  "Half of the feat of reaching a goal is the simple act of showing up."  "If I could visualise, if I could close my eyes, visualise myself landing a trick that I had never tried before, but I landed it in my head, I knew that I could land it in real life."  "I reckon we could get rid of a certain amount of mental illness if we could get more people to be goal oriented."  "When you're in the midst of adversity, it's actually the most important time to create goals and to create those actionable steps, because that is what is going to keep your mind engaged in a positive manner."  ABOUT THE GUEST Athena Brownson: Former Pro Skier Turned Top Denver Realtor, Defying Limits in Life and Real Estate.

Guest: Ruschelle Khanna - Family business consultant, psychotherapist, and author of "Inherited Trauma and Family Wealth"Key Timestamps & Ideas3:00-5:30 - Growing Up in Coal Country Despite feeling abundant as a child, underlying financial anxiety from this environment shaped her early money scripts and relationship with wealth.5:30-8:00 - The Origins of Inherited Trauma WorkThree catalysts led to her book: inheriting a traumatic memory from her mother, experiencing Lyme disease, and 20 years of NYC client work. 8:00-12:00 - The Prison MetaphorBoth poverty and wealth can create psychological prisons. 12:00-15:30 - Practical Healing StrategiesFamily governance serves as therapeutic tool, along with genealogy research and getting families talking. 15:30-20:00 - Transparency vs. SecrecyShe advocates transparency about family wealth with next generation, explaining how secrecy robs children of pride in family legacy. 20:00-25:00 - Multi-Generational DynamicsLonger lifespans create more generations alive simultaneously. Value differences between generations are natural. Documenting family legacy helps members understand the "unique collection of coincidences" that created family wealth.25:00-30:00 - The Five Liabilities of Family TeamsFamilies fall into cycles of chaos, conflict avoidance, people pleasing, procrastination, and abandonment. Conflict in wealthy families isn't "about the money" but about belonging and unspoken pain, with underlying trauma as the root cause.30:00-35:00 - Money as Intimate EnergyMoney sits at our "root chakra" with sexuality and intimacy. The pudendal nerve means "the place to be ashamed of" in Latin, explaining why people discuss trauma but avoid talking about money in therapy.35:00-40:00 - Success vs. Failure in Wealth TransitionSuccess requires strong relational, financial, and operational systems. Even "abandonment" can resolve energetically over generations, though blended families face increased emotional complexity and trust issues.40:00-45:00 - Self-Worth and Sibling DisparitiesThe pillar metaphor describes never feeling "less than" by cultivating both inherent worth ("you're lovable because you exist") and earned worth. Wealth disparities between siblings can destroy family relationships.45:00-50:00 - Addressing Compulsive BehaviorsCompulsive spending functions as addiction: "what is the pain you're running from?" Imposter syndrome and Dunning-Kruger effect represent two sides of worth issues, while "inversion of trust" means feeling safer with strangers than family.50:00-55:00 - Individual Change Creates Systemic HealingWorking on inherited trauma individually heals entire family systems. Using the "fascia" metaphor, removing one knot improves the whole system. Success means creating lasting change while learning personally.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

Chronic illness steals more than your health—it can rob you of your identity and everything you once loved. For Shira Haid, a classically trained musician and clinical massage therapist, the onset of multiple tick-borne illnesses, including Lyme disease, marked the beginning of a devastating transformation. What began as extreme fatigue in 2014 quickly spiraled into debilitating pain, cognitive dysfunction, and the loss of her independence.The road to diagnosis proved maddening. Despite having a physician father actively helping with her care, Shira endured nearly two years of deteriorating health before finally discovering the root cause. Along the way, she faced shocking examples of medical gaslighting—being accused of drug use, labeled a "Lyme loony," and even receiving suggestions from a doctor about how she "should kill herself next time." These experiences highlight the profound ignorance and dismissal many chronic illness patients face when seeking help.Perhaps most heartbreaking was Shira's disconnection from her artistic self. "For a very long time, my thought process was what is the point? There's no point in my artwork anymore, there's no point in doing music anymore, because that's over," she reveals. This creative death felt as painful as her physical symptoms, leaving her a shell of her former self.The financial reality of chronic Lyme disease compounds these challenges. With insurance companies refusing coverage—even after the CDC's recent acknowledgment that Lyme can be chronic—Shira estimates her family has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on treatments. Not everyone has this privilege, leading many patients to attempt creating their own treatment protocols out of desperation.Yet through therapy, nutritional changes, and gradually reconnecting with her creative passions, Shira has begun the slow journey back to herself. When she finally sang again after years of silence, the experience brought tears and a flood of emotions, reminding her of the person she once was and could be again.Have you experienced medical gaslighting or the grief of losing parts of your identity to illness?

From Amy:Cara Pacific Campbell was the first person who took me up on my offer of a 1:1 Book Writing Mentorship and put her trust in me. I was grateful that someone so vibrant felt drawn to working with me, but looking back, it makes perfect sense. When we are paying attention, we're drawn to our people. Cara and I are both high-performing women who worked way too hard and paid a steep price with our health. As in, our bodies made us quit our careers when our minds thought that we could—had to—power through. Instead, we were sidelined.And why did we think we had to power through? Well... how else would we have any meaningful impact in life? How else did we have value? Which is a societal misperception that has needed addressing for a very long time. What we've been through, many are going through now.Also... we are both people who communicate who we are through our colors of choice. I think of Cara in vibrant yellows and reds.These lively signature colors are very much at odds with what Cara was living with in her battle with chronic Lyme disease.There's a huge silver lining. Cara finally connected to her dreams of work in Peru, tapping into ancient knowledge that now infuses this book. And hey, I taught beginning Spanish for a few years. I've always thought that teaching Spanish was a way station on the journey to something beyond that. This book was one of those meaningful stops on the journey. Oh, and also...Pretty sure that Cara and I are going to host a Writing Revival in Peru someday.Picture yourself there with us. How awesome would that be?Meanwhile, you can actively witness the culmination of her book journey if that's calling to you, or simply take courage from hearing how it came into being. Me? I got to help Cara infuse this book with her witty, deep, infectious wisdom. I feel profoundly proud and grateful to know that I was there at Cara's beginning as an author, and that she was there at my beginning as a book writing mentor. What a beautiful testament to my vision for Courageous Wordsmith.It's a full-circle episode and it feels like that.Enjoy! Cara Pacific Campbell is a top-performing sales leader turned author, coach, and resilience expert. After a medical collapse ended her high-achieving career, she began an unexpected healing journey—one that blends neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and the gritty reality of burnout recovery. Her upcoming book is part memoir, part roadmap for ambitious women ready to succeed without self-destructing. Cara helps high performers reconnect with their power, rewrite their patterns, and rise—on their own terms.Cara's Links:www.linkedin.com/in/carapacificcampbell https://www.instagram.com/carapacificcampbell/ https://www.facebook.com/carapacific Join the book mailing list Amy Hallberg is the author of Tiny Altars: A Midlife Revival and German Awakening: Tales from an American Life.

Whether you realize it or not, our lives depend on the native plant communities that comprise and support regional biodiversity. As we lose habitat, we lose species, and we lose the checks and balances that keep the living world functional. Scientists are increasingly uncovering the links between human health issues like infectious diseases and biodiversity loss and that is exactly what Dr. James Shepherd and I discuss in this episode. Join us as we explore the links between habitat loss, native plant communities, and infectious diseases like Lyme disease.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-05-2025: Dr. Dawn answers an email about Dupuytren's contracture treatment, explaining her clinic experience using acupuncture anesthesia combined with Traumeel injections directly into palm nodules. She describes how this anti-inflammatory homeopathic compound, when injected into tendon sheaths, can break the cycle of fibrosis formation. Dr. Dawn explores fascinating quantum physics concepts involving collagen microstructure, water molecules, and hydrogen ion movement that may explain how acupuncture and homeopathy work through crystalline formations in collagen tubules. She discusses vitamin A's critical role in measles complications, explaining how deficiency dramatically increases risks of encephalitis and cardiac damage. Dr. Dawn covers two forms of dietary vitamin A - beta carotene from plants requiring enzymatic conversion, and vitamin A from animal products. She warns about vitamin A toxicity risks, particularly birth defects in pregnancy, while noting that typical American diets are adequate unlike vitamin D. Dr. Dawn examines vitamin D deficiency affecting 68% of children in a South Florida study, linking inadequate levels to bone health, immune function, and gut barrier integrity. She explains how vitamin D receptors throughout the body regulate cell differentiation, insulin secretion, and tight junction formation that prevents leaky gut syndrome. There are higher deficiency rates in darker-skinned populations and the historical context of rickets during industrialization when urban environments blocked sunlight exposure. She highlights revolutionary medical technology, the world's smallest pacemaker for newborns, half the size of a rice grain. This injectable device dissolves naturally after hearts self-repair, controlled by light-emitting patches communicating through the baby's skin. This breakthrough eliminates risky surgical removal procedures that caused complications, such as Neil Armstrong's death from pacemaker wire infections. Dr. Dawn discusses research showing shingles vaccination reduces dementia risk by 20%, particularly in women. She explains the natural experiment in Wales where universal healthcare created clear vaccination cutoff dates, allowing researchers to compare dementia rates. Dr. Dawn hypothesizes that cross-immunity against herpes viruses may protect brain tissue, noting even stronger protection with newer Shingrix vaccines compared to older Zostavax. She covers alarming increases in invasive Group A Streptococcus infections, with cases more than doubling from 2013 to 2022. Dr. Dawn explains how flesh-eating bacteria secretes enzymes that dissolve epithelial barriers in throats and lungs, allowing systemic spread that destroys tissue. She links rising cases to increasing diabetes and obesity rates that compromise immune function, noting devastating mortality rates approaching 10,000 deaths nationwide. Dr. Dawn celebrates a breakthrough antibiotic discovery of Lariocidin which works against highly drug-resistant bacteria through novel protein synthesis inhibition. She explains how antibiotic resistance spreads between bacterial species just like social media memes, emphasizing the urgent need for new treatments as 4 million people die annually from resistant infections. Dr. Dawn advocates for public funding since pharmaceutical companies avoid antibiotic development due to poor profit margins. She answers an email about Epstein-Barr virus detection, explaining its role in mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Dr. Dawn describes how EBV can remain dormant and reactivate during stress or immunocompromise, potentially triggering autoimmunity. She discusses similarities between EBV reactivation, Lyme disease, and long COVID, suggesting they may represent variations of the same inflammatory syndrome with different triggers. She explores the nocebo effect - how negative expectations worsen outcomes - and its amplification through social media. Dr. Dawn cites studies showing people warned about erectile dysfunction or altitude headaches experience these symptoms more frequently. She discusses recent phenomena like TikTok-induced tics and vaccine side effect amplification, warning that online health information creates dangerous nocebo loops that spread faster than traditional word-of-mouth.

In this inspiring episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, host Matt Sabatello and special guest co-host Kaitlyn Oleinik, author of the upcoming memoir Revival: My Journey with Neuropsychiatric Lyme Disease, sit down with Tracy Mulholland—actress, writer, producer, singer, and Lyme warrior. Tracy is the creator and star of the award-winning mini-series Girl at a Bar, a powerful and entertaining scripted series based on her true experience with chronic Lyme disease. Tracy shares her harrowing 15-year health journey, including being misdiagnosed by over 50 doctors, living with neurological and musculoskeletal Lyme, and the physical and emotional fallout from multiple co-infections like Babesia and Mycoplasma, and black mold exposure. She reveals how she turned that suffering into storytelling—using humor, vulnerability, and her passion for acting to build a bridge between the chronic illness community and the broader public. She also opens up about her experiences with neuroplasticity therapy, IV antibiotics, herbal protocols, and her evolution into a certified health and executive functioning coach through Tracy Eve Coaching. This conversation offers both validation and empowerment—perfect for Lyme patients, creatives with chronic illness, and anyone passionate about shifting public understanding of invisible disease.

Vivimos en un mundo cada vez con mayor basura y contaminado. Apenas reciclamos el 10 por ciento de todo lo que producimos. El gran reto de la química es desacoplar el crecimiento económico del impacto ambiental. Ese es el objetivo de la “Declaración de Estocolmo sobre Química para el Futuro”. Un documento elaborado por algunos de los científicos más destacados del mundo en este campo. Entre ellos Javier García Martínez, catedrático de la Universidad de Alicante, quien nos ha visitado en el estudio.Con la llegada del calor vuelve la amenaza de las garrapatas, cada vez más abundantes y extendidas en nuestro país. Y como nos ha contado Verónica Fuentes, con ellas se expanden también las infecciones que transmiten, como la enfermedad de Lyme, una patología compleja que puede llegar a ser muy grave. Álvaro Martínez del Pozo nos ha hablado de la oleandrina, un compuesto tóxico que en su día fue recomendado por el presidente Trump para el tratamiento de la COVID, junto a la lejía. Con Jesús Martínez Frías hemos conocido el cráter de impacto más antiguo de la Tierra.

Have you ever wondered - what is the best food sensitivity test out there?Or - why are there so many tests, and how can you tell which one of the best? Back in 2021, I wrote my first podcast episode on food sensitivity tests, Episode 59// How to Choose the Best Food Sensitivity Test for You. At the time, I had NO exposure or knowledge about the food sensitivity test I'm going to be sharing with you today, so I didn't mention it at ALL. But, if I were to re-do that episode, I would HANDS DOWN have highlighted the special and unique food sensitivity test we're going to talk about today - and I would have NEVER ordered another MRT test. It is likely a food sensitivity test you've NEVER heard of (many of my clients have never heard of it before), but it is far superior to any other food sensitivity test I've come across before. To help explain exactly how and why this test is so much better than Viome, MRT, TinyHealth, or any other food sensitivity test I've looked at, I'm having on Adair Anderson, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and representative of Vibrant Wellness. Adair holds a bachelor's degree in biochemistry, a master's degree in clinical nutrition, and today, she is going to tell you all about my personal favorite food sensitivity test - the Food Zoomers. Vibrant Wellness offers a myriad of lab tests, from Lyme testing to comprehensive gut health testing, but the lab I order the most from them is their food sensitivity test. As you'll learn about on today's episode, the Food Zoomer tests your body for food sensitivities in a way that is completely different than almost every other lab out there. Whether you're a food sensitivity test veteran with dozens under your belt (and an equal amount of confusion caused by them) or you haven't yet done your first test yet - this episode is guaranteed to enlighten you and give you insight into the capacities and limitations of food sensitivity tests, and explain why doing a Food Zoomer is likely your best bet to getting SUPER clear on what foods you should and shouldn't eat to heal your gut. *Disclaimer: by having this episode out, I am NOT suggesting that you only need to eat the right food to heal. Food is, at most, only 20% of the equation to fully healing your gut. If you aren't familiar with the fact that food alone isn't enough to heal you (and what the rest of the 80% of the equation is), go to betterbellytherapies.com/training or click the link in the shownotes to get my free, full training.

In this compelling episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan, special guest Dr. Terri Fox dives into the crucial topic of how to reclaim your health after mold-related illness. The discussion explores the root causes and rising prevalence of mold toxicity, as well as Dr. Fox's structured, two-phase detoxification protocol.  Key Discussions: ① Introduction to Mold Issues:

252: In this episode, I sit down with my own doctor, Dr. Kelly McCann, to go over some of my recent test results and the detox protocols I'm doing to prep my body for pregnancy. We talk about glyphosate, mold, and other environmental toxins—and most importantly, what you can actually do about them. Dr. McCann is a total expert in helping people uncover mystery illnesses, like MCAS and hidden infections, especially when conventional doctors come up short. If you've been feeling off and haven't found answers yet, I hope this episode gives you some clarity, hope, and actionable steps to feel better. Topics Discussed:  What are the symptoms of glyphosate exposure and how can you detox from it? How do environmental toxins like mold and “forever chemicals” impact fertility and overall health? What is MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and how is it diagnosed and treated? What kind of functional medicine testing can uncover hidden infections or chronic illness?

Seeking those answers, she began studying Functional Medicine to complement her traditional medical studies. Utilizing this multi-disciplinary approach, Dr. Kelley has been at the forefront of Integrative Medicine, devoting her career to treating patients in a highly personalized manner that focuses as much on overall health and wellness as it does on specific issues and diagnoses.Board Certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Kelley was among the first physicians to add a board certification in Integrative Medicine as well. She has studied the causes, effects, and treatments of Lyme Disease extensively, and lectures nationally on this and other topics. Dr. Kelley graduated from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed her residency in Family Medicine at St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago.  She is a ten-year member of the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM), a Treasurer of The International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS), and is a Founding Member of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM).  Dr. Kelley is on the faculty at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Links mentioned during this episode:Dr. Kelley's Course: https://www.healwithcase.com/courses/Groundwork-for-healingDr. Kelley's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caseintegrativehealth/Free Initial Consultation with Dr. Megan: https://p.bttr.to/3a9lfYkLyons' Share Instagram: www.instagram.com/thelyonsshareJoin Megan's Newsletter: www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletter

Add the best superfood for immunity to your diet today! Discover the countless health benefits of colostrum for your immune system, gut health, and more. Learn about the benefits of colostrum for adults and aging populations. It's not just for babies!0:00 Introduction: The best superfood for immunity 0:44 What is colostrum? 1:12 Colostrum benefits 3:33 Colostrum for adults3:43 Colostrum and gut health4:01 More colostrum uses 4:54 How to take colostrumColostrum is produced in the first 24 to 72 hours after birth. It's golden in color and rich in essential probiotics, including L. reuteri. It's significantly more immune-building than regular milk and even contains stem cells. Colostrum also contains an important prebiotic called HMO (human milk oligosaccharides) that feeds the probiotics found in breast milk. Colostrum contains cholesterol and omega-3 fats, vital for brain health, and important hormones like oxytocin and cortisol.Many infants are fed infant formula, which is essentially ultra-processed food calories. Most infant formulas are made of low-quality ingredients such as maltodextrin and soy, and they lack the immune benefits and probiotics of breast milk. Children who were fed infant formula are more predisposed to allergies, asthma, skin problems, obesity, cognitive delays, and other health problems. If you didn't get colostrum as a baby, there are still many benefits of colostrum for adults. You can take colostrum in supplement form. Colostrum is beneficial for gut health and can help fix a leaky gut or gut damage. It can help lower inflammation, increase good microbes, and decrease pathogens. Colostrum has powerful benefits for respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma. It can also help an overactive immune system and many autoimmune conditions. Colostrum helps support the thymus glands as you age and is very beneficial for age-related problems such as muscle loss, wrinkles, macular degeneration, and arthritis. It can even help with long COVID, Hashimoto's, autism, and Lyme disease. Colostrum is heat-sensitive, so look for a freeze-dried supplement!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

In this soulful and timely episode, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Sonners—chiropractor, author, and mother of three—for a deep conversation on navigating chronic illness, rediscovering inner wisdom, and healing in community. We talk about how neurological Lyme disease and mold toxicity shook her life—and how it ultimately became the catalyst for transformation.Melissa shares why rest and stillness matter more than most of us admit, how brainwave rhythms can radically shape our state of being, and why connection (to ourselves and others) is the real medicine we all need. We also dive into her upcoming book The Connection Code, which provides tools to reclaim your voice, values, and vitality—especially in a world that often feels isolating. From power hours to playful rituals, this conversation is a heartfelt invitation to start listening to what your body's been trying to say all along.HIGHLIGHTS[01:40] - How a wellness festival sparked reconnection and community[05:38] - Facing neurological Lyme, memory loss, and a full-body shutdown[12:14] - Why she ditched the "power hour" and built a nervous-system-friendly morning[22:08] - The two-minute practice that can reconnect you to your inner voice[33:58] - Creating true community by coming home to yourself[39:04] - The brainwave blueprint: Theta, Alpha, Beta—and how to live in flow[47:13] - The 3-part decision matrix: intuition, nervous system, and values[55:49] - Behind the book: how The Connection Code came to life[59:27] - Melissa's one message to a divided world: come back to who you areDr. Melissa's RESOURCESBest Friends Book Nook- an online book club for women: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/book-nookRegulate YOUR Rhythm: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/regulated-rhythmThe Connection Code: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/resources/connection-code-bundleMorning Self-WITH challenge: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/resources/5-day-challenge-of-being-self-withHow to Set the Tone for Your Day: Morning Sit Spot Ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7biHnjVFdkHow To Turn Your iPhone Screen RED [Block Blue Light At Night]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3EFgs3CQg Upgrade Your Wellness:BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybrokenUse code beautifullybroken for 20% offStemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52Code: beautifullybrokenSilver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD (30% off)(Use Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for Discount)CONNECT WITH DR.

This is episode 57 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast. To get your free pdf of "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know," reach out to Fred Diamond on social media. [NOTE: This podcast does not replace medical treatment. If you struggle with Lyme care, please see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.] For decades, Lyme disease survivors have faced an uphill battle—dismissed by doctors, forced to wait years for appointments, and left without clear paths to healing. In this powerful episode of the Love, Hope, Lyme Podcast, Fred Diamond speaks with Dr. Monica Embers, a leading Lyme disease researcher at Tulane University and contributor to The Quiet Epidemic, and Kevin Williams, co-founder of Ravel Health and a chronic Lyme patient of 18 years. Dr. Embers shares the hard truth: “There is no central place for patients to turn.” She explains why outdated diagnostic tools, lack of federal investment in treatment research, and misinformation have left millions without answers—and how new tests and targeted therapies are finally changing the game. Kevin Williams opens up about the deeply personal reasons he and co-founder, Jaime Intile, created Ravel Health: to spare others the years of pain and medical gaslighting they endured. Ravel now offers accessible, virtual, Lyme-literate care across 46 states with no waitlists and personalized treatment plans.

Dr. Hinchey shares how her journey from misdiagnosed childhood infections to a transformative diagnosis in her mid-30s inspired a career of advocacy and innovation in integrative Lyme treatment. Discover why she believes most chronic Lyme sufferers can heal — and how focusing on terrain, immune modulation, gut health, and targeted herbal antimicrobials makes recovery possible.
