This is both a milestone and a farewell. After years of heartfelt conversations, transformative insights, and connections across the globe, Lessons from the Playroom reaches its 200th—and final—episode (at least for now). To mark this occasion, Lisa is joined by someone who has been part of the podcast from the very beginning: her daughter, Avery Dion. Many listeners will remember Avery's sweet childhood voice in the podcast jingle—today, at 19 years old, she returns for her third and most profound conversation with Lisa. Together, they explore what it truly means that the body keeps the score. Avery courageously shares her lived experience with chronic Lyme disease and the surprising ways her body has become both messenger and teacher. From pain and symptoms that point toward hidden truths, to the psychology of autoimmune illness and the role of self-compassion, Lisa and Avery dive into the raw, real, and deeply human ways the body holds memory, emotion, and wisdom. Together, they explore: How the body holds memory, emotion, and unfinished stories Avery's journey with chronic Lyme disease and the wisdom it revealed The connection between autoimmune illness and self-criticism Why pain and symptoms can be seen as protectors and messengers What it means to find neutrality and balance in life's highs and lows An invitation for listeners to pause, tune into their bodies, and welcome symptoms as guides toward authenticity Recorded in the intimacy of their own space, this episode is as tender as it is inspiring. It is not only about Avery's healing, but also about the ways her journey has shaped Lisa as a therapist, teacher, and mother. As Lisa closes this chapter of Lessons from the Playroom, she extends deep gratitude to every listener who has been part of this journey. While the podcast itself is wrapping up, the library of 200 episodes remains—an ongoing resource and companion for therapists, parents, and seekers of wisdom both inside and outside the playroom.

La borréliose de Lyme est une pathologie qui suscite encore beaucoup de confusion : entre formes atypiques, errance diagnostique, attentes fortes des patients, et prescriptions parfois hors cadre… il n'est pas toujours simple de savoir comment agir.

Modern medicine has given us incredible tools to peer inside the body and spot disease earlier than ever before. But with that power comes a problem: the more we look, the more we find — and not everything we find needs fixing.My guest today, neurologist Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan, argues that our culture of over-diagnosis is leaving many people more anxious, more medicalized, and sometimes less healthy. In her book The Age of Diagnosis: How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker, she explains how screening tests, shifting definitions of “normal,” and the rise of mental health labels can turn ordinary struggles or idiosyncrasies into problems in need of treatment. We dig into everything from cancer and diabetes to Lyme disease and ADHD and discuss how diagnosis really works, why screening can sometimes harm as much as it helps, and how to know when a label is and isn't useful.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Deb 0:00But the doctor told me it was just anxiety. Three days later, I was in the emergency room having a heart attack. For eight years, they said my symptoms were depression. Turns out it was Lyme disease. These people weren't crazy. They weren't overreacting. They were right all along today on Let's Talk […]

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

After suffering for years with strange medical conditions, BRAD PITZELE was diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis in 2010 and malignant melanoma in 2014. Concerned that his treatments increased cancer risk, he began searching for a safer, more holistic path. Further testing revealed he also had Lyme disease and Bartonella. As his condition worsened—with debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and mobility loss—Brad sought alternatives. In 2016, his doctor recommended hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT).Brad chose EWOT, but dissatisfied with what was on the market, he decided to build his own system. The results were transformative. Within a year, his strength, clarity, and energy returned. Seeing the improvement, Brad's doctor asked if he could make EWOT systems for others. That moment sparked the creation of One Thousand Roads, founded on the belief that healing should be effective, safe, and accessible. Today, Brad empowers others by sharing his firsthand experience with chronic illness and recovery. He helps people understand how EWOT works, why it can support healing from conditions such as Lyme disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune diseases, and how to integrate it safely and affordably into their wellness journey. We talk about: • The Role of Oxygen in Healing • EWOT: Oxygen from the Inside Out Oxygen as a Therapeutic Tool for Cancer, ChronicIllness & Detoxification Enhancing Cognitive Health, Reducing Inflammation& Reversing Aging with EWOT • How EWOT + Red Light Work Synergistically • Understanding How Red & Infrared Light Work, Support Healing & Create Multiplier Effects • Brad's Personal Recovery Story • How does our body use oxygen, and how does this change as we age? • What is EWOT, and how does it work? • What benefits can EWOT provide for those suffering from chronic illness? • How do EWOT and Red Light therapy complement each other to boost oxygen and energy for peak performance? • What is the science of Red Light therapy, how does it work, and what are the benefits? • How does oxygen therapy support healing in conditions like cancer, Lyme disease, detoxification, and improving sleep and mental clarity? • In what ways does oxygen help reduce inflammation and reverse aging at the cellular level?

Formerly a NASA engineer, he now uses advanced diagnostic scanning, molecular hydrogen therapy, and Sufi healing to help people recover from chronic illness and anxiety. Key Takeaways : Anxiety often has physical roots, including hidden infections, gut-brain inflammation, mold toxicity, and hormone imbalances—not just emotional stress. Dr. Shirley shares how supporting adrenal glands and calming the nervous system through herbs, breathwork, and yoga can reverse anxiety naturally. Greg highlights the impact of environmental mold and neurotoxins on panic attacks and insomnia, often missed by conventional medicine. Molecular hydrogen therapy and frequency-specific microcurrents are effective for calming the brain, especially for patients with Lyme or mold exposure. Both experts emphasize the power of daily rituals, grounding, gratitude, and breath to rewire the nervous system and restore control. Anxiety doesn't have to take years to heal.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with András Pal Bozsik, co-founder of Lyme Diagnostics Ltd and coordinator of the EU-funded DualDur® project, to discuss a disruptive new diagnostic technology that promises earlier, more accurate detection of Lyme disease. For decades, Lyme testing has relied on indirect serological methods that often miss early infection and fail chronic patients. András shares how his father's pioneering work on Borrelia detection inspired the development of DualDur®, an AI-driven, direct detection system capable of finding Borrelia burgdorferi in blood samples at all stages of infection. We cover: Why current Lyme serology tests miss up to 60% of early infections How the DualDur® cell technology medium stabilizes and concentrates Borrelia for accurate identification The role of AI-powered automated microscopy in eliminating human error and improving sensitivity Scientific evidence of Borrelia's genetic variation and shape-shifting every 2–3 weeks — explaining chronic infection and recurring IgM immune responses How DualDur testing can monitor treatment efficacy and guide Lyme-literate practitioners The debate over sexual transmission of Lyme and mother-to-child transmission risks Insights from clinical trials with 400 patients across Europe proving DualDur's higher accuracy compared to standard methods The importance of combination antibiotic therapy, including overlooked options like ciprofloxacin, and why single antibiotics are rarely effective Plans to expand DualDur testing across Europe and eventually into the United States with FDA trials This groundbreaking conversation bridges science, technology, and patient care. It gives hope to millions of Lyme patients seeking a reliable test and effective treatment strategies.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake's past several days have been a blur of headline-making developments straddling career highs, health struggles, legal news, and entrepreneurial ventures. Easily the most significant revelation biographically is Timberlake's public disclosure of battling Lyme disease during his extensive Forget Tomorrow World Tour. On July 31, Timberlake took to Instagram to break his silence, explaining that the illness has been relentlessly debilitating, sometimes causing nerve pain and massive fatigue while on stage. He described grappling with whether to cancel shows but ultimately continued, citing the joy performing brings him. This candid health update not only answered recent criticism about lackluster performances during the tour—reported by both fans and outlets like Collider and Deadline Film and TV—but also marked a rare glimpse into the private struggles behind his relentless work ethic.Putting aside those personal hurdles, Timberlake is poised for a triumphant night at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where he will receive the iconic Video Vanguard Award on September 7 at UBS Arena. Coverage by Collider highlights this recognition as cementing his influence on pop music videos and performance.However, Timberlake's legal woes remain a front-page story. According to IMDb and Deadline, he is expected to change his plea to guilty in his DWI case, resolving an incident from earlier this year when he was stopped and arrested after leaving a Sag Harbor venue. This resolution comes after an initial not guilty plea on a revised misdemeanor charge, as seen in reports from multiple reputable entertainment news sites. The legal outcome is widely considered to be a significant moment in the star's public and personal life.In terms of business activity, Timberlake continues to diversify. As reported by the Nashville Tennessean, he is co-developing the high-end Bounty Club golf course near Nashville, with the latest land deal finalized this week bringing total acreage for the private course project to nearly 475. The Farm Nashville, affiliated with 8AM Golf—a company Timberlake is a partner in—paid $7.5 million for a new parcel just northwest of the city. Separately, Xfinity Mobile Arena's announcements keep reminding fans of his ongoing tour commitments, and he remains active through various partnerships, including as an investor in Sandbox VR, which is expanding in Germany per a recent press release.Social media has kept his name circulating, notably around 901 Day in Memphis, which local podcast The Memphis Daily News Now claims traces its creation to Timberlake's accidental influence. And for those tracking festival appearances, Rolling Stone and Variety have confirmed he will headline 2025's BottleRock Napa Valley Festival alongside Green Day and Noah Kahan.Together, these events form a narrative of an artist facing tangible personal and professional crossroads. From grappling publicly with a debilitating diagnosis, landing career-defining honors, and settling legal issues, to continuing to invest in business ventures and inspiring spontaneous holidays in his hometown, Justin Timberlake has been impossible to ignore in news cycles and trending topics alike.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

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

Why Mia no longer sees her health through the “Lyme” label - and how shifting focus to symptom-by-symptom resolution changed everything.In this part two of our conversation with Mia, we unpack her experience with a “Lyme disease” diagnosis through the lens of GNM - and her resolution of the symptoms once linked to that label. Alongside resolving multiple anaphylactic allergies (see episode 38), Mia untangled the conflicts behind her Lyme symptoms, stepped out of the illness identity, and was able to get her life back. We explore how broad, catch-all diagnoses can obscure the real biological programs at play, why in GNM we look at symptoms individually rather than through diagnosis labels, and how labels can become woven into our self-identity. Mia also shares how GNM has transformed her parenting, her child's health, and offers advice for integrating this paradigm into family life.Find us on Instagram:Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@alchemywithashlee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@ajpuccioni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our personal websites:Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠alchemywithashlee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Abigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find MiaInstagram - ⁠@mialeesloIf you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this deeply moving episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Mühlethaler welcomes Ashley Bernardi, an award-winning podcaster, author, media relations expert, and founder of Nardi Media. Ashley served as a network television news producer for nearly a decade, with credits including CBS News, energyNOW! on Bloomberg TV, and Washington Post Live. She has helped multiple authors launch their books and become New York Times Best Sellers, including Mel Robbins, Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, with client placements in top-tier outlets like The Washington Post, The New York Times, TODAY, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, NPR, Fortune, and hundreds more.Ashley's personal story begins with profound childhood trauma - losing her father to a sudden heart attack at age 11 - and traces her journey through decades of burying her emotions while excelling professionally as a journalist and PR expert.Ashley shares with Anne how she grew up in a creative military family, with her father serving as an Army colonel at the Pentagon and her mother running a successful dance studio in the DC area. The sudden loss of her beloved dad became a defining moment which brought her to suppress her grief and emotions for over two decades, channeling her energy into professional achievement while struggling with various coping mechanisms.The conversation takes a profound turn as Ashley describes how unprocessed trauma eventually manifested in her body through a severe case of Lyme disease following the birth of her third daughter. After being medically gaslit by numerous doctors, Ashley experienced what she refers to as her "dark night of the soul" –- a moment of complete surrender that finally opened the door to processing her long-buried grief for her father.Ashley details her healing journey, which involved developing daily practices of meditation, journaling, breathwork, therapy, coaching, and more. She explains how learning to "feel her feelings" in real-time became the foundation for both her physical healing and her relationship with her deceased father. The experience transformed her approach to life and work, impacting the work she does at Nardi Media, a PR agency specialising in health, wellness, spirituality, and mission-driven organisations.Throughout their conversation, Anne and Ashley explore the importance of storytelling as both a healing tool and a way to connect with others. Ashley shares practical advice for those wanting to share their own stories, emphasising the difference between written and spoken communication and the necessity of practicing your story out loud. She also discusses her work with renowned clients like Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and Dr. Emma Seppälä, and how her personal healing journey informed her professional mission.The interview concludes with Ashley's insights on the transformative power of authentic connection, the importance of honoring both masculine and feminine energies, and her belief that everyone has healing wisdom within them. She emphasises that feelings are meant to be felt and processed, not buried, and that our authentic power comes from getting quiet and listening to our inner wisdom.A raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful conversation about trauma, healing, and the courage it takes to live authentically.Connect with Ashley:Ashley Bernardi's website: ashleybernardi.comNardi Media: nardimedia.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nardi_media Visit our website Out of the Clouds : https://outoftheclouds.com/Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_outofthecloudsAnne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annvi/Anne on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/annvi.bsky.socialAnne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-v-muhlethaler/Please subscribe and leave us a review ✨ Hosted on Acast.

I'm Dr. Daniel Cameron, and today I'm addressing a question I often see in my practice: What are the risk factors for chronic Lyme disease?Chronic Lyme SymptomsSome patients do not fully recover from Lyme disease. They experience a broad range of symptoms, including ongoing fatigue, pain, sleep problems, neurologic changes, emotional strain, and disruption of daily life. These challenges can affect school, parenting, and work responsibilities.Common chronic Lyme manifestations include:Musculoskeletal: chronic arthritis, muscle pain, stiffness, and tendon inflammation.Neurologic and psychiatric: brain fog, memory issues, neuropathy, sensory changes, depression, irritability, mood swings, and PANS. Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) is often debated, but I view it as a potential ongoing infection rather than simply a syndrome.Cardiovascular/dysautonomia: POTS, Lyme carditis, arrhythmias, chest pain, and dizziness.Other manifestations: sensory overload (light, sound, heat, cold, or smell sensitivity), sometimes related to dysautonomic issues.Risk Factors for Chronic Lyme DiseaseWhile formal assessments are ongoing, in my practice I see several consistent contributors:Severe initial infection such as neurologic Lyme meningitis or carditis.Treatment delays, sometimes months or years.Early systemic involvement at onset—widespread fatigue, pain, neurological symptoms, or functional loss.Co-infections such as Babesia and other tick-borne pathogens.Reinfections and relapses, which can increase the likelihood of chronic complications.Key Takeaways for CliniciansScreen patients carefully for these risk factors.Monitor for co-infections, especially in high-risk or relapsing patients.Do not dismiss persistent symptoms, even if a formal diagnosis has not yet been established.Advice for PatientsSeek early treatment—timing matters.If symptoms persist, pursue a second opinion or find a physician experienced in managing chronic manifestations of Lyme disease.Watch for co-infections, especially Babesia, which may complicate recovery and even mimic other conditions (e.g., menopause).Advocate for comprehensive care for yourself and your family.Thank you for joining me. Please leave your questions and comments below—I read them all and respond where I can.

Welcome. Here are ten practical tips for Healthcare Providers to prevent chronic Lyme disease. 1. Lyme Disease is Primarily a Clinical Diagnosis • While laboratory tests, like the two-tiered approach of ELISA followed by Western blot, can provide valuable support, Lyme disease diagnosis hinges on clinical judgment. The disease's early symptoms, such as the classic erythema migrans rash, fever, and joint pain, often present before the immune system has generated detectable antibodies. This means that the diagnosis is often made based on clinical presentation, particularly in endemic areas, even if tests are negative.2. Early Treatment Can Prevent Complications • The importance of early treatment in Lyme disease cannot be overstated. Studies have consistently shown that when antibiotics are administered promptly—ideally within weeks of infection—they can prevent the progression to more serious complications, such as Lyme arthritis, neuroborreliosis, and Lyme carditis. The window for optimal intervention is narrow, making early recognition and treatment vital.3. Co-Infections Are Common and Complicate the Picture • Ticks don't just carry Borrelia burgdorferi; they can also transmit other pathogens like Babesia microti, Bartonella henselae, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. These co-infections can lead to overlapping or more severe symptoms and may require different or additional treatments. Research indicates that co-infections are present in up to 30% of Lyme disease cases, which underscores the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis when symptoms persist.4. Lyme Disease Can Mimic a Range of Other Conditions • Known as "The Great Imitator," Lyme disease can present with symptoms that resemble those of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome. This mimicry can lead to misdiagnoses, delaying proper treatment. It's crucial for healthcare providers to consider Lyme disease in their differential diagnosis, especially in patients with a history of tick exposure.5. Seronegative Lyme Disease is a Real and Recognized Phenomenon • Not all patients with Lyme disease will test positive on standard serologic tests, especially in the early stages or if they have received early antibiotic treatment. This phenomenon, known as seronegative Lyme disease, can make diagnosis challenging. Clinical studies suggest that up to 20-30% of early Lyme disease cases may be seronegative, which requires healthcare providers to rely on their clinical instincts and patient history.6. Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) Requires Attention • PTLDS, affecting 10-20% of Lyme disease patients, presents a significant challenge. Symptoms like fatigue, pain, and cognitive difficulties persist long after the infection should have been cleared. The exact cause of PTLDS is still debated, with theories ranging from persistent infection to autoimmune dysfunction. What is clear, however, is that these patients need careful management and support, rather than dismissal.7. Prevention Through Tick Avoidance is Key • Preventing tick bites is the most effective strategy to avoid Lyme disease and its associated complications. This includes the use of insect repellents, wearing protective clothing, performing regular tick checks, and removing ticks promptly. Education about these preventive measures is essential, particularly in areas where Lyme disease is endemic.8. Rash is Not Always Present, but It's a Strong Indicator9. Lyme Disease is Expanding Beyond Traditional Regions10. Lyme Disease Can Affect Multiple Organ Systems

In this powerful episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Ciara Gaglio, a 37-year-old from Woodside, Queens, New York, whose life was completely transformed by Lyme disease. Once a vibrant, social, and creative digital media professional, Ciara's health began to unravel in her late 20s. What followed was nearly a decade of relentless symptoms, countless misdiagnoses, and visits to over 100 doctors before finally receiving a Lyme disease diagnosis at age 36. Ciara opens up about her devastating symptoms, including unrelenting fatigue, neurological issues, full-body pain, kidney distress, and the emotional toll of isolation. She shares her treatment journey—beginning with antibiotics like doxycycline and Rocephin through a PICC line, and later expanding to supportive therapies like herbs, probiotics, yoga, ozone therapy, and more. This candid conversation sheds light on the financial, emotional, and social impact of chronic Lyme disease, as well as the resilience required to keep advocating for yourself in a medical system that too often dismisses patients. Listen to Ciara's journey of courage, humor, and persistence in the face of chronic Lyme disease. Her message is clear: be kind to yourself, advocate fiercely, and never give up.

Lyme disease is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions in modern medicine, and millions may have it without even knowing. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Dr. Bill Rawls, a physician who nearly lost everything to chronic Lyme, to expose why antibiotics often fail, how stealth microbes wreak havoc on the body, and what it really takes to heal at the cellular level. If you've been struggling with mysterious symptoms or want the truth about chronic illness, this conversation could change everything.

A lot of things have been labelled "autoimmune" that have turned out to not actually be autoimmune... so the question has to be asked: "Does auto-immunity actually exist?" To date, we do have evidence that autoimmune disease is very real, but most of these instances look to either be collateral damage, "molecular mimicry" where your body produces something that looks like an invader, or something else. And the root causes of "autoimmunity" are well understood to be leaky gut, a trigger of some sort and genetic predisposition. And in this episode, we're challenging the paradigm of autoimmune diseases to see if your body can actually attack itself.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: What autoimmunity actually is "auto-antibodies" vs "antibodies" What it truly means to attack yourself Specific types of antibodies we thought attacked "self" but turned out to attack "other" Different anbitodies in Crohn's, Colitis and Lyme disease (just as examples) Evidence they are not attacking you How you can begin healing from autoimmune diseases   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

In this episode, we're exploring aromatherapy - something that's getting serious scientific attention. When we inhale essential oils, scent molecules travel directly to our brain's emotional center, creating real neurochemical changes. The research is compelling. Johns Hopkins found that certain essential oils can kill Lyme bacteria better than antibiotics. And lavender has particularly strong evidence - multiple studies show that it genuinely improves sleep quality by increasing restorative delta brain waves. The Veterans Health Administration reviewed 26 systematic studies and found moderate evidence that aromatherapy helps with pain, sleep quality, and stress management.  That's why we're excited to welcome Amy Jump-Long.

In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Juanique sits down with Dr. Brian Rodgers to shed light on CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) — a condition affecting up to 25% of the population. They break down what CIRS actually is, why so many people are undiagnosed, and how it can be triggered by mold, Lyme disease, spider bites, and even COVID or the COVID vaccine.Juanique and Dr. Rodgers explore how CIRS impacts the gut, brain, mitochondria, and immune system — often showing up as fatigue, anxiety, depression, hormone imbalances, brain fog, and long COVID. They also dive into the 12-step protocol for treatment, with a focus on the first three critical steps: reducing environmental triggers, using the right binders, and treating MARCoNS (nasal bacteria).The conversation is equal parts science and lived experience, with Juanique sharing her personal journey with CIRS, the overwhelm of starting treatment, and the hope that comes from taking healing step by step.Key TakeawaysCIRS is common: Around 20–25% of people carry the gene that can trigger CIRS.COVID is a trigger: Both infection and vaccination have been shown to turn on CIRS genes, often presenting as “long COVID.”Multi-system impact: CIRS disrupts neuropeptides, hormones, and mitochondria, leading to mood disorders, fatigue, leaky gut, and hormone imbalance.Children are affected differently: Kids often show fewer symptoms (headaches, anxiety, chronic infections, bedwetting) but can still carry the condition.First 3 steps matter most: Safe environment, binders (like Welchol or cholestyramine), and MARCoNS treatment are non-negotiable for healing.Healing takes time: Most patients need 12–24 months to move through the 12-step protocol, with incremental improvements along the way.Adjunctive therapies: Tools like eBOO, hyperbaric oxygen, IVs, neurofeedback, and phospholipid therapy can help “jumpstart” depleted bodies.Hope is key: Even if progress feels slow, consistent steps lower the body's toxin load and restore function over time.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Juanique's experience with CIRS03:25 – Why so many people are undiagnosed08:09 – The hidden pandemic of CIRS and COVID as a trigger10:32 – How CIRS affects the gut, brain, mitochondria, and immune system15:18 – Children and teenagers with CIRS: symptoms to watch for20:05 – The overlap between CIRS, MCAS, and histamine intolerance27:10 – Chronic infections, asthma-like symptoms, and immune dysfunction31:57 – Step 1: Safe environment and mold remediation39:04 – Step 2: Binders and reducing the toxin load43:49 – Step 3: Treating MARCoNS and brain fog relief48:40 – Why some patients need “bigger tools” to jumpstart healing53:22 – Steps 4–12: Gut, hormones, neuropeptides, and VIP therapy58:09 – How long CIRS healing really takesLinks & ResourcesJoin the Gutsy Academy!

Episode 256 of the Fit Father Project podcast is an eye‑opening conversation with Kim Rogers, of RogersHood, known online as the “Worm Queen.” Kim shares with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi how a lifelong struggle with endometriosis, surgeries, and undiagnosed Lyme led her to a viral parasite‑cleanse journey—and a mission to help others. Kim explains the real‑world prevalence of parasites and why the common numbers likely underreport the problem due to testing blind spots. She breaks down the landscape: microscopic protozoa (e.g., Giardia, D. fragilis, Crypto), visible nematodes (roundworms, flukes, tapeworms, pinworms), Candida overgrowth, and Lyme—and how these often stack with heavy metals and mold to drive symptoms from gut issues to mood changes and cravings.We dig into how parasites hijack behavior, the candida–sugar loop, and the often‑misunderstood toxoplasma story beyond just cats. Kim outlines a practical framework for cleansing: kill → bind → evacuate, including why binders are non‑negotiable, what biofilm is, and how her Parafiy/Parafide Kit (three tinctures + a binder) sequences herbs like wormwood, clove, cilantro (for metals), and more to make the process simple and tolerable. We also cover lifestyle support—movement, lymph flow, stress reduction, and smart food add‑ins (pumpkin seeds, garlic, cilantro, dandelion root).Kim also shines a light on mold—how it brain‑fogged her life, how to suspect it, and why you should address the source (home, RVs, bathrooms, slow leaks) while using targeted support. She discusses water and pet exposures, why some municipal testing misses nematodes, and simple habits to stay proactive—like running a 30‑day cleanse 3–4×/year, especially around travel, sushi nights, lake swims, or stressful seasons.We wrap with practical food and product tips: daily binders and minerals (she likes fulvic/humic support—her kit even uses a fulvic foot soak), probiotic foods like Coconut Cult, and gut‑soothing marshmallow root treats. If you're over 40, love sushi, have pets, or feel stuck with “mystery” symptoms, this one gives you a grounded plan to test, cleanse, and rebuild—without fear.Key Takeaways:Parasites, candida, mold, and heavy metals often co-existVisible worms are only part of the picture; protozoa are very commonThe cleanse framework is kill → bind → evacuate, with binders being essentialBiofilm breakdown is necessary to expose hidden organismsCilantro and other herbs can support heavy metal detoxSushi, raw produce, and undercooked meats are common parasite exposuresPets, ponds, lakes, and unfiltered water are major risk factorsRunning a 30-day cleanse three to four times per year is recommendedMovement, lymph flow, and stress reduction improve outcomesCandida drives sugar cravings; diet adjustments are keyMold can change mood and behavior; addressing sources is criticalSimple foods like garlic, clove, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro support cleansingRegular water and air testing can reveal hidden exposuresFulvic and humic minerals provide support and binding capacityBinders should always accompany anti-parasitic herbs or foodsLearn More about Kim Rogers and RogersHood:Website: https://rogershood.com/Use discount code FITFAMILY at checkout and receive 10% off your order.Podcast: What's Eating U?!

Pop icon Justin Timberlake's recent Lyme disease diagnosis is shining a spotlight on a condition mainstream medicine still refuses to fully acknowledge in its chronic form. Del sits down with Lyme-literate physician Dr. James Neuenschwander to break down the ongoing controversy—why standard testing often fails, why so many patients are misdiagnosed or dismissed, and how a comprehensive, integrative approach combining antibiotics, detox, immune modulation, and herbal therapies is giving hope to those battling chronic Lyme.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.
