It is so calming to know how involved Hashem is in every detail of our lives. He cares deeply about everything we do, and He is constantly with us, guiding us every step of the way. A woman shared that she had just moved into a new home and needed to buy curtains. One night, she planned to browse online, and in her excitement, she hurried through cleaning up dinner—but forgot to say borei nefashot . She sat down with her husband, opened their laptop, and began typing the word "curtains." After typing the first four letters—C-U-R-T—she looked at the screen and froze. The language bar was still set to Hebrew from when her husband had last used it. On a Hebrew keyboard, typing those four letters spells out: בורא ( boreh ). At that moment, she remembered she had forgotten to say borei nefashot . She said she usually typed without looking at the keyboard, and had she done so now, she would have realized on the first letter that the keyboard was in Hebrew. But this time, Hashem made her look down—just so she would type the word boreh and be reminded of the berachah she had missed. Another story was shared by a man who was looking for a good chavruta to learn with his son at night. He mentioned it to his wife, and she suggested a specific nephew who would be perfect. The problem was that his son was in high school, while the nephew was already learning full-time in a beit midrash with a chavruta his own age. It seemed unlikely that he would want to learn with a high school student. Still, the man had hope. At 11 o'clock that night—perhaps too late to call—he decided to send a text asking if it was a good time. The nephew replied that he was still in yeshiva talking to his chavruta, and that he would call shortly. When he called, the uncle asked if he'd consider learning with his son. The nephew's response left him speechless: "That's exactly what I was just talking about with my chavruta," he said. "I've been thinking I want to start learning at night with a high school boy." Amazing! Hashem had planted the idea in the nephew's mind just before his uncle reached out. Hashem knows the future and arranges everything in advance to help us. A woman who works in an office building said that one morning, her regular parking spot was taken, so she had to park somewhere else. That day, she especially needed to leave quickly after work. When she returned to the lot, she saw three Hatzalah vehicles completely blocking her usual spot. But the place where she had parked was totally clear. She immediately thanked Hashem for arranging in advance that she wouldn't be blocked when time was so tight. Another woman recalled something that happened 15 years ago. She had read an article about children who suddenly developed extreme OCD-like behaviors or severe emotional swings. The article explained that these behaviors could often be traced to untreated strep or Lyme disease—and once treated, the children returned to normal. For some reason, she was drawn to the article and even clipped it out, along with letters from parents describing what their children went through. Thirteen years later, her own child suddenly changed. Her behavior became extremely negative. Therapy didn't help, and she couldn't attend school. No one could figure out what was wrong. Every day, this mother prayed to Hashem to open her eyes and show her the solution. Then one day, she suddenly remembered that article. She found it, reread it, and had her daughter tested for strep and Lyme. Baruch Hashem , they found the cause. With proper treatment, her daughter returned to her normal self within weeks. She thanks Hashem for planting the interest in that article so many years earlier. It turned out to be the key that helped save her daughter. Hashem is with us every second of the day—guiding us, helping us, preparing everything in advance. We need to recognize His hand in our lives and constantly thank Him.

After a fast-paced early career in celebrity PR, Ali's life came to a halt when she was hit with a wave of debilitating symptoms. It took two years to be diagnosed with Lyme disease and multiple tickborne infections—including Babesia, Bartonella, ehrlichiosis, and relapsing fever. She became, as she puts it, a “professional patient.” But Ali didn't stop there. Today, she's the Board Chair of Project Lyme, a leader in advocacy with the Center for Lyme Action and Two Alpha Gals Foundation, and the founder of a fast-growing healthcare PR firm that centers the patient voice.
The second day of the party's visit to Lyme is going swimmingly: early morning walks by the sea, and even a chance encounter between Anne and a well-bred gentleman, who seems to be her cousin and heir to Kellynch Hall, Mr. Elliot. But it all comes to a shattering halt as Louisa Musgrove's jump from the Cobb steps ends in a critical injury. Anne steps up to lead the group's response, and Captain Wentworth can't help but notice, and admire. It's an emotional roller coaster of a day, and as the group goes through the highs and lows, let their story fill your mind and help you forget your day, as you sink into another night of peaceful slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

A deep dive into the depths of activism, Shipibo Ayahuasca Curanderismo, and being a professional listener, with the spectacular Joshua Kahn Russell! In this episode, Joshua shares about his experience channeling a sense of knowing about the world into activism and politics, and how that brought him to plant medicine, and to his current work in the world: supporting activists to heal their trauma and gain resilience with the help of Sacred Nature. He begins with a story of understanding change as about shifting the balances and forces of power. This thread is inherent throughout the conversation on both the micro and macro level, as Joshua shares about how he got into and spent decades doing front line, indigenous sovereignty, social and climate justice movement work, until long undiagnosed Lyme disease and burnout brought him to a complete halt. He shares about how his life was saved by practices from an indigenous ayahuasca tradition, and what he understands now about that cosmology and technology. Then, we turn the dialogue to the topic of supporting other activists, and to listening and connecting with consciousness beyond the human realm. This is a conversation about identity, trauma, wisdom, and re-orienting what it means to be an agent of social change.Bio: Joshua Kahn Russell has spent 25 years as a social movement facilitator and has trained thousands of activists across the globe in over 15 countries. He is the former Executive Director of The Wildfire Project, where he supported progressive grassroots frontline organizations across a range of sectors including Environmental and Climate Justice, Indigenous Sovereignty, and Racial and Economic Justice movements. He has helped campaigns win — defending land, water, and workers rights, defeating multi-billion dollar oil pipelines, winning wage increases and tenant protections — against banks, oil companies, logging corporations, and coal barons; worked with groups in a breadth of arenas, from local resiliency projects, to national coalitions, to the United Nations Climate Change Negotiations internationally. He has been an apprentice of Shipibo Ayahuascero Ricardo Amaringo in the Peruvian Amazon for over 12 years, and brings cohorts of leaders to the rainforest for trauma healing in Indigenous-held ayahuasca ceremonies and plant dietas. He also works with plant medicines as a guide, and is currently a somatic leadership coach. Joshua threads together his experience of decades of frontline activist work as a campaigner, strategist, organizer, and non-violent direct action coordinator, learning from grassroots movements around the world, with his practice of supporting healing and transformation with plant medicine. He has written and co-edited numerous books, including A Line In The Tar Sands: Struggles for Environmental Justice, Beautiful Trouble, and Organizing Cools the Planet: Tools and Reflections to Navigate the Climate Crisis.From the episode - quote 1 came from Anthony Machado:”There is no path. The path is made by walking.” quote 2 came from George Harrison: If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there”

In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver's role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity. If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Chris Motley particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions. If they're overwhelmed, they stop sending coherent messages.” “The body remembers. If someone hasn't processed grief, it might be stored in their lungs or colon, showing up as chronic inflammation or fatigue.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” “Mold and Lyme don't just infect—they distort your body's frequency. That's why they're so hard to detect and treat with conventional methods.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Chris Motley Returns for Fourth Episode 01:44 – Building a Friendship Through Shared Health Passion 02:33 – Biohacking Conferences: Trends and Insights 03:09 – Blood Flow and Longevity in Biohacking 04:14 – Chronic Infections and Blood Clotting Issues 05:34 – Red Light's Impact on Blood Health and Cardiovascular Benefits 06:56 – BioCharger: Light and Frequency Healing Technology 08:18 – Anecdotal Success with BioCharger for Parasites 10:03 – Genetic Testing for Personalized Health Solutions 13:46 – Genetic Testing for Hair and Skin Health 15:15 – Molecular Hydrogen: Benefits and Emerging Devices 18:29 – Challenges with Subpar Health Products in the Market 21:04 – Importance of Trustworthy Health Products and Testing 24:21 – BioLight's Upcoming Scientific Studies on Products 27:34 – Red and Blue Light Toothbrush for Oral Health 31:12 – TCM: Teeth, Kidneys, and Meridian Connections 36:50 – Light Therapy's Impact on Kidney and Adrenal Health 39:11 – Oral Health and Its Link to Brain Function 43:40 – Gut Health's Role in Kidney and Bladder Issues 47:09 – Neti Pot and Red Light for Sinus Health 51:39 – Gut-Brain Connection and Glyphosate's Impact 54:13 – TCM Approach to Healing Leaky Gut 58:58 – Glyphosate's Effect on Copper and Joint Health 01:03:54 – Magnetism's Role in Detox and Mitochondrial Health 01:07:06 – Schumann Resonance and Health Impacts of Low Magnetism 01:10:12 – Magnetic Sleep Pads for Regeneration and Health 01:14:15 – Environmental Toxins: EMF and Glyphosate Challenges 01:17:20 – Mitochondrial Function as Key to Immune Health 01:20:02 – Compounding Benefits of Daily Health Practices 01:21:34 – Future Discussion: Lymphatic System and TCM - Where to learn more from and about Dr. Chris Motley: DoctorMotley.com Instagram Ancient Health Podcast - Optimizing oral health may be the most efficient way to achieve systemic wellness...SAVE 20% this week only on BioLight Oral Care devices!

In this powerful episode of Heal Yourself with Sarah Dawkins, I sit down with Amy Stein, a chronic illness thriver and holistic guide, who shares her deeply personal 15-year healing journey. Amy opens up about the difference between healing and curing and why so many women with chronic pain and invisible illnesses are misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all, by the conventional medical system.We talk about Amy's background as a medical researcher and how working with chronic pain patients ironically mirrored her own deteriorating health. She discusses being dismissed by doctors, the emotional toll of feeling unseen and unheard and how she finally reclaimed her health by tuning into her body's wisdom and embracing natural healing methods.You'll hear how Amy navigated multiple misdiagnoses, Lyme disease, mold exposure, food sensitivities and systemic inflammation, ultimately discovering that the body can either fight or heal but not both at the same time.If you've ever felt gaslit by the medical system or unsure where to turn next, this episode will empower you to trust yourself, listen to your body and explore holistic paths to healing.

Subscribe for reminders: https://imahealth.org/weekly-webinars/ Learn more: https://imahealth.org/lyme-treatment/Lyme disease is notoriously difficult to treat, but it's even more complex than most realize. That's because Lyme doesn't always travel alone. Associated tick-borne coinfections like Bartonella and Babesia can mimic or mask Lyme symptoms, requiring different treatments to resolve. This reality turns Lyme treatment into a winding, uncertain road for patients and providers alike.Luckily, we've enlisted some of the world's top experts in Lyme and chronic disease to help demystify this debilitating condition. Join IMA Senior Fellow Dr. JP Saleeby as he hosts a practical conversation with Lyme specialist Dr. Tom Moorcroft and integrative nurse practitioner Chris Jackman. Together, they'll break down what makes Lyme so persistent, how coinfections complicate recovery, and what successful treatment protocols can look like in the real world.This is the third installment in IMA's Lyme Disease series—an essential session for patients, practitioners, and anyone trying to make sense of this often-misunderstood chronic condition.

June, rather incredibly, marks the fifth anniversary of the launch of series 1, episode 1 of the podcast. As a rather fortuitous bit of timing, we were invited to host a live Terrible Lizards event at Lyme Regis (home of Mary Anning) for their Fossil Festival. We could hardly say ‘no', so here is a recording of that hour long session where we fielded a ton of questions from the audience (that was overflowing out of the room!) and even included a few professional palaeontologists in the audience to put a bit more pressure on Dave's answers. A good time was apparently had by all, maybe this will happen again next year? A link to the Fossil Festival website.

Welcome back to the WellFuel Podcast with your host, Isabel Smith!We're excited to bring you a truly special episode this week - one that's been long-awaited by our community. Isabel is opening up about her personal journey with Long COVID, Lyme, and co-infections, and the unconventional path she took to find relief.After her own battle with COVID-19 and a resurgence of chronic symptoms, Isabel teamed up with a specialist to explore a unique approach: using a nicotine patch to help reduce viral loads and free up ACE2 receptors. Whether you or someone you love is dealing with Long COVID, chronic illness, or just curious about innovative healing protocols, this episode is packed with valuable insights and real-life experience.Isabel's story is raw, honest, and full of hope. We hope it inspires you to keep searching for answers and reminds you that you're not alone in your healing journey.Tune in now to hear the full episode - and don't forget to share it with anyone who might benefit from Isabel's experience and insights!---------------------------EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: The backstory of Isabel's struggle with Lyme and Long COVIDWhy she considered the nicotine patch protocol - and how it worksHonest reflections on the symptoms, challenges, and adjustments she faced along the wayThe supplements and strategies that supported her two-month journeyInsightful commentary on the results she achieved and what this could mean for others facing similar chronic conditions--------------------------CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Welcome to the WellFuel Podcast00:24 – My Journey with Lyme and Long COVID01:20 – The Nicotine Patch Protocol03:40 – Experiencing the Nicotine Patch04:53 – Symptom Log and Supplementation06:27 – Challenges and Adjustments10:06 – Final Thoughts and Future Plans-----------------------------HELPFUL DEFINITIONS: ACE2 Receptors: ACE2 is a protein on the surface of many cell types. It is an enzyme that generates small proteins – by cutting up the larger protein angiotensinogen – that then go on to regulate functions in the cell.Using the spike-like protein on its surface, the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to ACE2 – like a key being inserted into a lock – prior to entry and infection of cells. Hence, ACE2 acts as a cellular doorway – a receptor – for the virus that causes COVID-19.Lumbrokinase: Lumbrokinase is known for its ability to dissolve fibrin, which is a crucial component of blood clots. This ability makes it potentially useful in preventing and treating conditions related to excessive blood clotting. Nattokinase: Nattokinase is an enzyme that's extracted from natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Nattokinase is particularly known for its potential effects on blood circulation and blood clots.The Krebs Cycle: The Krebs cycle is used by organisms that generate energy via respiration, either anaerobically or aerobically (organisms that ferment use different pathways).M-Spike Protein: The M-spike, also known as monoclonal protein or paraprotein, is a marker in blood tests that indicates the presence of abnormal plasma cells.HRV: HRV, or Heart Rate Variability, refers to the variation in time between heartbeats. ---------------------LEARN MORE: The WellFuel Podcast explores gut health, detox, hormones, mold, and more—hosted by Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN.

As the climate warms, ticks are finding more places to call home within Canada — and spreading more diseases to people wherever they go. A doctor talks about why Lyme disease isn't the only infection you can catch from ticks, and how to protect yourself against the bugs.
Hey Heal Squad! We're kicking off a fascinating two-part episode with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. In Part 1, Dr. Motley opens up about his personal health journey with Lyme disease, and how becoming his own best case study led him to uncover the root causes of chronic illness through energy medicine and frequency healing. He breaks down the hidden reason so many people stay sick: blocked drainage pathways. From EMFs and heavy metals to trapped emotions and mold toxicity, Dr. Motley explains how these invisible stressors overload the body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and stall healing at the deepest level. We also dive into how trauma gets stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with hormone issues and fatigue, and why your body's Qi—your electromagnetic life force—could be the key to real, lasting transformation. If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will help you finally connect the dots and understand your symptoms in a whole new light. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Drainage is the foundation of healing. Before you detox, your drainage pathways (like the lymphatic system and liver) need to be open. If they're blocked, toxins can't leave the body, and you stay stuck in survival mode. Your body holds emotional memories. Trapped emotions from past trauma can get stored in specific organs, silently contributing to chronic illness, hormone imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation. Mold and metals are hidden saboteurs. Many people with brain fog, fatigue, or mysterious symptoms are dealing with toxic overload from mold exposure or heavy metals—and most don't even know it. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctormotley Website: https://www.doctormotley.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ancient-health-podcast/id1493717594 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

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.

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.
