What happens when Lyme disease affects the brain? Why do so many people with Lyme disease struggle with brain fog, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and mental fatigue—even after treatment? And how can researchers better understand, measure, and treat these persistent cognitive symptoms? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jacqueline Becker, clinical neuropsychologist, researcher, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Becker specializes in the cognitive effects of infection-associated chronic illnesses, including Lyme disease, Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), Long COVID, and ME/CFS. Drawing from both her clinical practice and groundbreaking research, Dr. Becker explains how neuropsychological testing provides objective ways to evaluate brain fog and cognitive dysfunction. She discusses why patients deserve validation for symptoms that are often invisible, how cognitive rehabilitation differs from commercial brain retraining programs, and why improving research methods is essential for developing more effective treatments. The conversation also explores the growing collaboration between researchers studying Lyme disease and Long COVID, revealing how these conditions may share biological mechanisms that could lead to future breakthroughs benefiting millions of patients. Whether you're living with Lyme disease, caring for someone experiencing cognitive symptoms, or interested in the future of neuroscience and infection-associated chronic illness research, this episode offers practical insights and hope grounded in science. What You'll Learn Why brain fog is one of the most common and disabling symptoms of Lyme disease. How neuropsychologists objectively measure memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning. The similarities between Lyme disease, Long COVID, and other infection-associated chronic illnesses. Why traditional clinical trials often struggle to capture the complexity of persistent Lyme symptoms. How improved research design could accelerate the development of new diagnostics and treatments. The difference between evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation and commercial brain retraining programs. Why validating patients' experiences is critical for advancing both research and clinical care. In This Episode Matt Sabatello, Tick Boot Camp Co-Founder, and Dr. Becker discuss: Dr. Becker's journey into neuropsychology and cognitive research How Lyme disease can affect the brain Understanding brain fog beyond subjective symptoms Neuropsychological testing and cognitive assessment Memory, attention, language, and executive functioning Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses (IACI) The overlap between Lyme disease, Long COVID, and ME/CFS Cognitive rehabilitation and neuroplasticity The blood-brain barrier and emerging neuroscience Improving Lyme disease research through better study design The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration Hope for the future of cognitive recovery after infection About Dr. Jacqueline Becker Dr. Jacqueline Becker is a clinical neuropsychologist, researcher, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She specializes in the evaluation and treatment of cognitive dysfunction associated with Lyme disease, Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other infection-associated chronic illnesses. Her research focuses on improving the scientific understanding of persistent cognitive symptoms while developing better methods for measuring outcomes and advancing patient-centered care.

Peter McLaughlin was given a twin diagnosis 23 years ago: Lyme disease and leukemia on the same day. The doctors told him if he was lucky, he had 10 years. They didn't know what caused it and they didn't know how to cure it. So he went looking himself. What he found in the depths of his own psyche became the foundation of an entire life's work in hypnotherapy, past life regression, Havening, and subconscious reprogramming. He's been healthy for 23 years. And in this conversation, he shares what he learned along the way, including one of the most fascinating explanations I've ever heard for why we drink. We get into what hypnosis actually is and why the entertainment version of it has given most people completely the wrong idea. We talk about how trauma gets encoded in the nervous system as safe or not safe, and why that single distinction explains almost every self-sabotaging pattern people can't seem to break. We go into past life regression, what happens emotionally when someone encounters a lifetime they consciously have no memory of.  And we talk about alcohol. Specifically, why it's called spirits. What it actually does energetically when you drink. And how Peter uses future progression in hypnosis to help people feel, in their body, the 10-year contrast between two versions of their life, one that keeps drinking and one that doesn't.   IN THIS EPISODE  The twin diagnosis that sent Peter into the depths of his own subconscious, and what he found there What hypnosis actually is, why the entertainment version gets it completely wrong, and the everyday experience almost everyone has had that is genuinely hypnotic Why alcohol is called spirits, and what Peter believes is actually happening energetically when you drink How root cause healing differs from symptom management, and why going back to the origin of a pattern is the only thing that actually resolves it Past life regression: what it feels like from the inside, what happens emotionally, and why the most mundane past lives are often the most moving Havening: what it is, how it works, and why the magic isn't in the tapping The future progression technique Peter uses with clients, and why the 10-year contrast is so powerful Why other people don't give you love, they just trigger the feelings you're already capable of generating yourself The one book Peter recommends above all others, and why he reread it after his father died   Find Peter at blueskyhypnosis.com and on YouTube at Blue Sky Hypnosis, where his past life regression track has nearly a million views.

What if the experiences of thousands—or eventually millions—of Lyme disease patients could help the next patient find answers faster? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with siblings Carter Bradsky and Payton Bradsky, co-founders of LymeLess Health, to explore their family's extraordinary Lyme disease journey and the technology they're building to help other patients navigate complex chronic illness. Lyme disease didn't affect just one member of the Bradsky family. Their mother became severely ill and largely bedridden while searching for answers through the conventional medical system. Carter later developed debilitating neurological and psychiatric symptoms while preparing to play college basketball. Payton experienced seizure-like episodes, was diagnosed with epilepsy, lost her driver's license, and struggled with cognitive dysfunction while beginning a promising career in technology. Their experiences ultimately inspired a much bigger question: What if Lyme patients didn't have to start from zero? That question became LymeLess, a precision care navigation platform built around an AI companion named Ella. The goal is to help patients organize complex medical histories, track symptoms and treatments, recognize patterns, prepare for medical appointments, find Lyme-literate providers, and make better use of the enormous amount of information generated throughout a chronic illness journey. A Family's Lyme Disease Journey Carter and Payton explain that their family's Lyme journey began with their mother around 2015. After relocating from South Dakota to Arizona, their mother progressively became sicker. Despite extensive medical evaluations—including care through major medical institutions—the family struggled to find an explanation for what was happening. At one point, her symptoms were attributed to psychological causes. Everything changed through a chance encounter. While attending an event surrounding Carter's high school graduation, their mother discussed her symptoms with someone familiar with Lyme disease. That conversation led her toward a Lyme-literate provider and ultimately toward the answers the family had been searching for. Her experience would later become critically important when both Carter and Payton developed their own unexplained illnesses. Carter Bradsky's Lyme Disease Story Carter was preparing for his senior year of high school and planning to play college basketball when his health began changing. During a period that also included significant emotional and physical stress, Carter began experiencing symptoms including: Brain fog and cognitive dysfunction Memory loss Dissociation Depression Anxiety Changes in his ability to function academically and athletically Because his mother had already traveled the Lyme disease diagnostic journey, she recognized similarities between Carter's symptoms and what she had experienced. That awareness allowed Carter to reach a Lyme-literate provider relatively quickly. He describes undergoing combination antibiotic therapy with herbal support and eventually reaching remission after approximately 1.5 to 2 years. His experience became an important lesson that would later influence LymeLess: Having someone Lyme-literate helping you navigate the journey can dramatically change how quickly you find the next right step. Payton Bradsky: Seizures, Epilepsy Misdiagnosis, and Lyme Disease Payton's illness presented very differently. During her senior year of college, after an intense period of stress, illness, dehydration, travel, and lack of sleep, Payton experienced what appeared to be a seizure. She was subsequently diagnosed with epilepsy. The diagnosis changed her life. Payton was placed on powerful anti-seizure medication, lost her driver's license, struggled cognitively, and found herself unable to use the brain she had relied upon throughout her life as an engineering student. This was particularly frightening because she had already accepted a job at Google and was preparing to begin her career in technology. Her family once again questioned whether there might be another explanation. That eventually led Payton toward Lyme and tick-borne disease testing and treatment. Unlike Carter's relatively shorter journey, Payton's recovery became a much longer process involving years of treatment and numerous providers. Her experience illustrates one of the central themes of this episode: There is no single Lyme disease presentation—and there is no single recovery pathway that works for every patient. From Lyme Patients to Technology Founders The siblings eventually brought very different professional backgrounds together to create LymeLess. Carter studied finance and data analytics at the University of San Diego before working in technology, media, and telecommunications investment banking in New York City. Payton studied computer engineering and entrepreneurship at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley before spending approximately five years at Google, working as a software engineer and product manager. Her experience in technology—including exposure to privacy, security, and regulated data environments—would later become particularly relevant when designing a health platform handling sensitive patient information. Both siblings eventually left their careers to tackle a problem they understood personally: Why does navigating Lyme disease so often become a second full-time job for the patient or caregiver? What Is LymeLess? LymeLess describes itself as a precision care navigation platform designed around the patient. Instead of leaving medical information scattered across patient portals, paper binders, lab reports, physician notes, symptom journals, and a patient's memory, LymeLess is working toward creating a centralized longitudinal record of the patient's journey. The platform's AI companion is called Ella. Patients can use Ella to help: Organize their health history Track symptoms over time Track treatments and supplements Record reactions and potential triggers Upload medical documents and laboratory results Identify patterns in symptoms and treatments Prepare for doctor appointments Surface relevant resources and research Find Lyme-literate providers Remember previous treatment responses Better understand their evolving health journey Carter describes one user's characterization of Ella as a "second brain" for when Lyme brain makes remembering and organizing everything difficult. Turning the Lyme Disease Binder Into Usable Data Anyone who has navigated chronic Lyme disease knows about the binder. Years of: Bloodwork Imaging Specialist reports Medication lists Treatment protocols Symptom histories Diagnostic testing Hospital records Patients frequently carry enormous amounts of information between specialists, yet a physician working within a short appointment may have only minutes to understand it. The conversation explores whether AI could become a bridge between these two realities. Instead of expecting a physician to read hundreds or thousands of pages, AI may eventually help synthesize a patient's history into the information most relevant to that particular appointment. LymeLess currently allows patients to upload digital documents and images of physical records, while the company is working toward easier bulk uploading and potential integrations with electronic health record systems. The LymeLess "Warrior Report" One important feature discussed in the episode is the Warrior Report. Patients can export information from LymeLess into a report designed to help communicate their health journey to their provider. Carter and Payton envision this concept becoming considerably more sophisticated in the future. One possibility discussed is a provider-facing experience in which clinicians could interact with a patient's organized information, review relevant research, and ask questions in language and formats designed specifically for medical professionals. Longer term, LymeLess is exploring clinical decision-support concepts and potential integrations with electronic health record platforms. Ella Is Not a Doctor Carter and Payton emphasize an important distinction throughout the interview: Ella is not intended to replace physicians. LymeLess is not positioning Ella as an autonomous doctor that diagnoses disease or prescribes treatment. Instead, the goal is to help patients: Understand their own information Recognize patterns Surface questions Find relevant resources Organize their medical histories Communicate more effectively with their healthcare team The ultimate medical decisions remain between patients and qualified healthcare professionals. Can AI Help Patients Recognize Patterns? One of the most exciting possibilities discussed is AI's ability to analyze enormous amounts of information. Lyme and tick-borne disease patients frequently experience changing combinations of: Neurological symptoms Psychiatric symptoms Pain Fatigue Inflammation Treatment reactions Food sensitivities Environmental triggers Co-infections Medication and supplement responses Patients may recognize individual events but struggle to see patterns unfolding across weeks, months, or years. Payton explains that Ella is being designed to combine patient-specific longitudinal information with curated research and educational resources. The goal is not simply to answer a question at one moment in time, but to understand that question in the context of the patient's broader journey. Learning From Other Lyme Patients The conversation then expands beyond individual patient tracking. Could anonymized patient experiences eventually help identify broader patterns across the Lyme community? Carter describes a long-term vision for a community intelligence layer that could potentially help patients, providers, and researchers learn from real-world experiences at scale. Instead of every newly diagnosed patient beginning at zero, future patients could potentially benefit from patterns identified among people with similar symptoms, diagnoses, treatment histories, and responses. The siblings discuss the potential for properly anonymized and de-identified information to eventually contribute to research while protecting individual patient identities. Lyme Disease Research and Real-World Evidence The episode explores an even larger possibility: Could longitudinal patient data help accelerate Lyme disease research? Traditional clinical trials are essential, but they can be expensive, geographically limited, and slow. Meanwhile, Lyme patients are already trying enormous numbers of treatments in the real world. The challenge is that much of that information disappears. One patient tries a treatment. Another patient tries something different. A physician discovers something useful in clinical practice. Patients discuss experiences in Facebook groups and online forums. But those experiences rarely become structured research-quality data. LymeLess hopes eventually to help close that gap. Potential future applications discussed include: Identifying promising treatment patterns Generating real-world evidence Identifying potential clinical trial candidates Helping researchers determine which therapies deserve formal study Supporting decentralized research Connecting patients with clinical trials Helping researchers study complex combinations of Lyme disease, co-infections, and overlapping conditions Lyme Disease Is More Than Borrelia Another important research discussion centers around the complexity of the Lyme patient population. Many patients aren't navigating Borrelia alone. Their health picture may also include: Bartonella Babesia Other tick-borne infections Mold exposure Mast cell activation Dysautonomia Inflammation Neurological dysfunction Genetic differences Environmental exposures By collecting longitudinal information across complex patients, platforms such as LymeLess could potentially help researchers study the combinations and patterns that traditional Lyme research may not fully capture. Protecting Patient Privacy Health information is extraordinarily sensitive, and the episode includes an extensive discussion about privacy and security. Payton explains that protecting patient data has been considered from the beginning of LymeLess' development. According to Payton, LymeLess uses: Encryption at rest Encryption in transit Zero-data-retention policies and agreements with vendors powering the platform Patient control over their information De-identification and anonymization approaches for broader data use She emphasizes that patients should be able to benefit from AI technology while still understanding and controlling how their information is used. LymeLess and the Doctor-Patient Relationship One of the most interesting themes of the conversation is that technology could potentially improve—not replace—the relationship between doctors and patients. Patients with complex chronic illness frequently arrive at appointments carrying years of medical information. Doctors, meanwhile, may have extremely limited appointment time and may not have extensive training in Lyme and tick-borne diseases. That can create frustration on both sides. Could better-organized information help? The conversation explores how AI-generated summaries, longitudinal symptom tracking, research resources, and eventually provider-facing tools could help physicians understand complicated patients more quickly. Rather than telling patients they must become their "own doctor," the goal is to help patients become better-informed partners with their healthcare team. Can LymeLess Help Health Coaches? The siblings also discuss the growing role of health coaches in complex chronic illness. Because Lyme patients often need significant support between medical appointments, health coaches can help patients organize treatment plans, make lifestyle changes, and navigate day-to-day challenges. LymeLess could potentially serve two populations: Patients who cannot afford ongoing human health coaching may gain access to a more affordable form of between-appointment support. At the same time, professional health coaches may eventually use technology like LymeLess to organize information and support more patients efficiently. Carter's Mold Illness After Lyme Remission The episode also takes an unexpected turn when Carter shares a recent health setback. After reaching remission from Lyme and tick-borne disease, Carter moved into an older apartment in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. Over time, he began experiencing: Brain fog Severe fatigue Cognitive problems Word-recall difficulties Nervous system dysregulation Increasing sensitivity to caffeine Anxiety Eye floaters Initially, he questioned whether Bartonella or another tick-borne infection had returned. Testing eventually pointed toward mold exposure. Environmental testing of his apartment reportedly identified numerous types of water-associated mold, and subsequent testing contributed to his decision to address mold illness and leave the environment. He describes temporarily moving home, focusing on recovery, reducing caffeine and screen exposure, exercising, using sauna, and continuing to work with his healthcare team. Importantly, Carter says subsequent testing did not indicate reactivation of Lyme, Bartonella, or Babesia. His experience reinforces another reason he believes longitudinal health records are valuable: When symptoms return years later, knowing exactly what happened during previous illnesses and treatments can provide important context. Discovery, Active Treatment, and Maintenance Payton describes three broad stages LymeLess is designed to support: Discovery Someone has experienced a tick bite or unexplained symptoms and is trying to determine what should happen next. Active Treatment The patient has a diagnosis and is navigating treatments, symptoms, reactions, providers, testing, and progress. Maintenance / Remission The patient is doing better but still wants to understand their health, recognize potential triggers, remember previous treatment responses, and protect their progress. This makes LymeLess potentially relevant beyond the period when someone is acutely sick. Genetics and Precision Medicine The interview also explores another future direction: incorporating genetic information. Genetics can influence: Detoxification Methylation Medication responses Nutritional needs Inflammatory pathways Other aspects of individualized health Carter and Payton discuss a future in which genetics, laboratory testing, patient history, symptoms, environmental factors, and treatment responses could contribute to increasingly personalized health navigation. Their larger vision moves from precision care navigation toward precision care and, eventually, increasingly individualized precision medicine. How Much Does LymeLess Cost? At the time of this interview, Carter and Payton describe LymeLess as offering a one-month free trial, followed by a subscription of approximately $15 per month. They also discuss working toward making portions of the platform available more broadly and maintaining a scholarship program for people who cannot afford the subscription. Carter explains that a portion of subscription revenue is intended to help support that scholarship program. Turning Lyme Disease Into Purpose The episode ultimately becomes about much more than artificial intelligence. Both Carter and Payton discuss how illness changed their lives. They describe fear, isolation, cognitive impairment, uncertainty, faith, family support, and the challenge of trying to continue school and demanding careers while sick. They also discuss something we talk about frequently at Tick Boot Camp: finding purpose through suffering. Payton continued developing her engineering career while undergoing treatment. Carter describes spending long periods alone in church during college, trying to quiet his mind and understand what mattered most. Eventually, their experiences gave them a problem they felt compelled to solve. Their mission with LymeLess is ambitious: Learn from the unique story of every patient so future patients don't have to navigate Lyme disease through the same degree of trial, error, expense, and luck.

A lot of you have been wondering how Inna's son Jake is doing, and in this episode she gets personal about it. A few years ago, their family found out Jake has PANS/PANDAS, a condition where the immune system reacts to strep and other infections by inflaming the brain, and it can look like anxiety, OCD, tics, and tantrums that show up out of nowhere. It's a lot more common than people think, especially in kids whose moms have autoimmunity like Hashimoto's.Inna traces the two years it took to understand what was happening, the symptom that almost got missed, the antibiotics that brought Jake back in 48 hours, and the Lyme and full-moon pieces that turned out to matter more than she expected. It's honest about how nonlinear this has been, and how much of their life bends around it.But the real reason she made this episode is the bigger idea underneath it: what to do when you're stuck in the hard middle of something, past the scary start but nowhere near finished. If you have Hashimoto's or any chronic condition, that middle will sound familiar, and Inna shares the shift that's helped her stand in it differently.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/coming-to-you-from-the-messy-middle/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping

Canada is in the middle of one of its worst seasons for ticks. The tick population and tick-borne diseases are climbing year-over-year, and it's not just Lyme disease that experts say we should be concerned about. Today, the Globe's health science reporter Jennifer Yang joins the show to discuss the emergent tick-borne disease causing concern in Canada, why our country's tick problem is only getting worse, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Shania Twain is a singer and songwriter and one of only two artists in history to have three consecutive diamond albums. By the time she was eight years old, she had a repertoire of one hundred songs which she would sing in bars. She began to write her own songs at the age of ten. Her mother was convinced that she was going to be a star and took her to perform in smoky clubs. Off stage, all was not well in the family home and Shania grew up in a turbulent household where there was much fighting. When she was thirteen years old, she persuaded her mother to drive Shania and her sisters to Toronto to a women's shelter. Her parents eventually reunited and then were both killed in a car accident when Shania was twenty-two years old. She then became the guardian of her younger siblings and put her music dreams on hold to look after them. Eventually she got a job in a golf resort singing and came to the attention of a Nashville music executive and was offered a recording contract when she was thirty. She was enjoying a record-breaking global musical career when disaster struck. She was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease which prevented her from singing for the best part of a decade. She announced her return in 2011 and returned to the stage in 2012.Shania lives in Switzerland with her second husband.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Instagram Live, Dr. Casey Kelley returns to discuss the latest developments in Lyme disease diagnosis, treatment, clinician education, and research. Drawing on both her personal recovery journey and years of treating complex chronic illness, Dr. Kelley explains why Lyme disease requires individualized care, why more Lyme-literate clinicians are urgently needed, and how new technologies—including big data, advanced diagnostics, and innovative therapies like SOT—are shaping the future of patient care. Episode Highlights Expanding Lyme-Literate Medical Education Dr. Kelley announces an exciting partnership between the Illinois Lyme Association and Carle Health to offer the ILADS Fundamentals Course free to healthcare providers. She explains why educating more physicians is one of the fastest ways to improve Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment across the country. The conversation also explores the role of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), including its physician training programs, fellowship process, and commitment to evidence-based medicine. Dr. Casey Kelley's Personal Lyme Journey Dr. Kelley reflects on her own experience with chronic illness. After years of unexplained symptoms, multiple incorrect diagnoses, and eventually developing POTS during medical school, she discovered that Lyme disease and tick-borne infections were contributing to her illness. Her recovery ultimately inspired her to found Case Integrative Health, where she now helps patients with complex chronic illnesses using a personalized, whole-body approach. How COVID Changed the Chronic Illness Conversation The discussion examines how the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased awareness of infection-associated chronic illnesses. Dr. Kelley explains that greater recognition of Long COVID has also helped bring attention to Lyme disease, ME/CFS, POTS, mast cell activation syndrome, and other complex conditions that share similar biological mechanisms. AI, Big Data, and the Future of Lyme Care Matt and Rich ask whether artificial intelligence and large clinical databases will transform Lyme medicine. Dr. Kelley believes AI and big data will become valuable tools—but only when paired with experienced clinicians who understand the complexity of Lyme disease and can interpret each patient's unique presentation. Why Every Lyme Patient Is Different The conversation explores why no two Lyme patients look exactly alike. Genetics, epigenetics, immune function, microbiome diversity, environmental exposures, multiple tick bites, co-infections, and varying bacterial strains all contribute to highly individualized clinical presentations. New Advances in Lyme Diagnostics Dr. Kelley discusses promising diagnostic research aimed at distinguishing active infection from past exposure and identifying bacterial peptides unique to active Borrelia infections. These advances could help clinicians better determine whether symptoms are being driven by persistent infection or ongoing immune dysfunction. Understanding Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT) One of the most in-depth portions of the conversation focuses on Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT). Dr. Kelley explains how SOT is customized using a patient's own blood sample to target specific pathogens by preventing them from replicating. While not a cure, SOT has become an increasingly valuable treatment option for patients who have plateaued with conventional therapies and is often combined with treatments such as ozone therapy. There Is No Single Treatment Order Matt and Rich ask whether every patient should follow the same healing sequence. Dr. Kelley explains that there is no universal roadmap. Some patients must first stabilize mast cell activation, while others need to prioritize infections, mold exposure, parasites, or nervous system dysfunction. Successful treatment depends on understanding each person's unique biology rather than following rigid protocols. Nervous System Regulation and Neuroplasticity The discussion shifts toward brain retraining and nervous system healing. Dr. Kelley explains that many severely ill patients simply lack the energy to begin intensive neuroplasticity programs early in treatment. Instead, she often introduces passive nervous system therapies first before transitioning patients into more active brain retraining as their health improves. She also shares practical tools she frequently recommends, including: Vagus nerve stimulation Apollo Neuro Pulsetto Neurofeedback Binaural beats Breathing exercises Hypnosis Humor and intentional joy A Message of Hope Dr. Kelley closes the conversation by reminding listeners that healing is possible. While Lyme disease treatment often requires patience, persistence, and individualized care, she emphasizes that people can regain health, improve function, and achieve long-term remission—even when recovery feels impossible in the beginning.

Three different doctors told her she should be dead. She is still here, and still hosting live radio. For over three decades, Susie Larson fought Lyme disease and mold toxicity. It left seven areas of brain damage. She lost words on the air and forgot how to spell. At her lowest, IV bags filled the fridge where the groceries should have been. Her family had no money for food while their friends bought second homes. But something grew in the middle of all that pain. She learned how to trust God when the breakthrough was nowhere in sight. In this episode, Susie joins Linda and me to talk about her new book, More Than You Can Imagine. We dig into the real difference between faith and "name it and claim it." We talk about speaking God's Word over your money, your health, and your family. I also share the story of declaring life over our newborn son when he would not breathe. This one is about money, faith, healing, and what God actually does when you keep trusting Him. If you enjoyed this, we'd love to send you a free copy of our book. You just cover shipping.

GLP-1 medications have changed how we treat obesity and metabolic disease. But as their use has exploded, so have questions about side effects, muscle loss, long-term use, and whether patients are receiving the support they need to use them safely. In this episode, I reconnect with metabolic health and regenerative medicine expert Dr. Tyna Moore to revisit our conversation from two years ago and examine what we've learned since. We discuss: How to tell when your GLP-1 dose may be too high What you can do to protect your muscle and bone during weight loss Which metabolic and nutritional markers should you check before and during treatment Why weight can sometimes return after stopping a GLP-1 What emerging research suggests about GLP-1s beyond weight loss GLP-1s can be life-changing, but a lower number on the scale isn't the same as better health. Ultimately, how these medications are used—from dosing and monitoring to nutrition and strength training—matters just as much as whether they're used at all.

What happens when you stop treating the diagnosis and start treating the person? In this special back-to-back episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with two fellow naturopathic doctors to explore the power of personalized, integrative medicine. First, Dr. Jannine talks with Dr. Kerry Niebrzydowski, a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist, about the unique ways naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine can work together to support the body. Then, in the second half of the episode, Dr. Jannine sits down with Dr. Sara Norris, ND, a naturopathic doctor specializing in women's health, pediatrics, skin health, digestive health, and hormonal health. Together, these conversations explore why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health, how acupuncture can influence the body's patterns of imbalance, the importance of nervous system regulation, and why collaboration between conventional and naturopathic providers can give patients more comprehensive care. From Lyme disease, mold exposure, chronic pain, hormones, PCOS, menopause, allergies and immune health to sleep, nutrition, stress, movement, and nervous system regulation, this episode offers a fascinating look at what personalized naturopathic care can look like. If you've ever wondered what naturopathic doctors actually do, how acupuncture fits into modern healthcare, or what it means to truly treat the whole person, you'll want to listen to both conversations. Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome 07:25 — Dr. Kerry: Acupuncture & Natural Medicine 12:12 — Blending Chinese Medicine and Naturopathy 19:14 — Integrative Care and Community Referrals 23:25 — Northwoods Health, Lyme, and Herbal Care 25:34 — Immune Support and Allergy Tips 29:34 — Beadwork, Breathing, and Martial Arts 34:02 — Dr. Sara: From Finance to Naturopathic Medicine 37:23 — Inside an Integrative Health Clinic 43:10 — Root-Cause Care for Adults and Kids 50:25 — Sleep, Weight, and Blood Sugar 57:22 — Vitamin D, Sunlight, and Daily Health Habits 60:49 — Dr. Sara's Foundational Health Advice In This Episode You'll Learn ✔️ How naturopathic medicine and acupuncture can work together ✔️ Why personalized healthcare is so important ✔️ How acupuncture may help communicate signals to the body ✔️ The role of Chinese medicine in addressing underlying patterns of imbalance ✔️ How nervous system regulation can influence your overall health ✔️ The connection between mold exposure, stress and the nervous system ✔️ How naturopathic doctors approach complex conditions like Lyme disease ✔️ Natural strategies for supporting immune health and seasonal allergies ✔️ Why collaboration between conventional and naturopathic providers matters ✔️ Dr. Sara's perspective on women's health, hormones and integrative care ✔️ Why sleep deserves more attention when you're struggling with your health ✔️ How blood sugar, nutrition and lifestyle can influence energy and wellbeing ✔️ Why environmental exposures deserve consideration in a comprehensive health approach ✔️ How movement, breathing, creativity, laughter and community can support nervous system health Key Takeaways Your diagnosis is not your entire health story. Whether you're dealing with chronic illness, hormone changes, Lyme disease, digestive problems, sleep issues, or simply trying to optimize your health, these conversations highlight one important principle: Your care should be as individual as you are. Dr. Kerry and Dr. Sara approach naturopathic medicine from different perspectives and areas of expertise, but both conversations come back to the importance of looking at the whole person rather than reducing someone to a symptom or diagnosis. From acupuncture and Chinese medicine to functional testing, nutrition, lifestyle, nervous system support, and collaboration with conventional medicine, there are many pieces that can contribute to a more complete picture of health. Sometimes the most important question isn't "What should I take?" It's: "What is my body trying to tell me?" Connect with Dr. Kerry Niebrzydowski Dr. Kerry Niebrzydowski is a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist practicing at Radiant Natural Health Clinic, serving the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin. Her practice includes naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, and Chinese herbalism, with a focus on conditions including chronic pain, Lyme disease, mycotoxicity, digestive concerns, neurological conditions, allergies, hormones, menopause, and more.

What if your body was designed to heal itself - but something was getting in the way?In this fascinating and hope-filled episode, I talk with Dr. Chris Molda about chronic illness, hidden toxins, and new approaches to healing. Dr. Molda is a functional wellness practitioner, Doctor of Chiropractic, and owner of Molda Functional Wellness.Dr. Molda shares his personal story of facing a “perfect storm” of health problems that left him seriously ill. He battled Covid, contracted Lyme disease from a tick bite, dealt with black mold exposure, and struggled with parasites. Even with his medical background, he found himself searching for better answers and deeper healing.As a chiropractor, Dr. Molda has always believed that the body wants to heal itself. The challenge is finding and removing the things that block healing. He explains what he calls the “Three T's”:TraumaThoughtsToxinsFor him, toxins became a major problem. Traditional treatments helped somewhat, but they didn't fully solve the issue. That search for answers eventually led him to induced native phage therapy.During the episode, Dr. Molda explains about bacteriophages, or “phages,” which are viruses that target harmful bacteria. He says our bodies naturally contain trillions of bacteria and viruses, and many of them actually help keep us healthy. According to Dr. Molda, this therapy works by supporting the body's natural ability to restore balance and fight harmful bacteria.We talked about how this approach has been used for people dealing with Lyme disease, long Covid symptoms, mold toxicity, and other chronic health problems.Dr. Molda also explains what it's like to work with him. The process starts with a free 15-minute call to see if this approach might be a good fit. If it seems helpful, the next step is a longer consultation where he discusses your health history, goals, expected timeline, and costs.Because appointments are done through phone and Zoom, and treatments can be shipped directly to clients, people can work with Dr. Molda from the comfort of their own home.This episode is all about looking deeper, finding root causes, and supporting the body's natural ability to heal.You can learn more about Dr. Molda and his work at:DrMolda.comPhagen CorpEpisode HighlightsDr. Molda's personal journey through chronic illnessThe “Three T's”: Trauma, Thoughts, and ToxinsWhat phage therapy is and how it worksLyme disease, mold toxicity, and long Covid recoveryWhy finding the root cause mattersWhat to expect when working with Dr. MoldaSupporting the body's natural healing processListen and ShareIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may benefit from this conversation.

A rash baffled 25 years of dermatologists. It disappeared in a week once Dr. Steven Zodkoy traced it to a childhood memory. Here's what that case, and the concept of a "biofilm," has to do with your migraines and your bladder. Dr. Chris Motley sits down with Dr. Steven Zodkoy, a chiropractor and applied kinesiologist who became the first in his field to pass the American College of Nutrition exam, a credential previously reserved for MDs and PhDs. Thirty-five years into practice, Dr. Zodkoy specializes in the patient conventional medicine gave up on: the migraine sufferer, the "recurring UTI" patient who never actually had a UTI, the chronic fatigue case with a normal bloodwork panel. His framework rests on one idea most doctors do not test for: the biofilm, a sticky protective layer that bacteria, viruses, mold, and parasites lay down to hide from the immune system and from treatment. Once one pathogen builds a biofilm, Zodkoy argues, it invites others in, which is why a "cured" infection so often resurfaces as something else entirely, chronic sinusitis becoming Lyme-like fatigue, a bladder infection becoming a lifetime of unexplained pelvic tightness, a resistant childhood strain becoming an adult autoimmune diagnosis.  Key Takeaways Biofilms are why a "cleared" infection keeps coming back as something else. A biofilm is the mucous-like shield a bacterium, virus, parasite, or mold colony builds to hide from the immune system and from antibiotics. Once it's there, he says, it invites other pathogens to shelter in it too, which can explain why chronic sinusitis, Lyme-linked fatigue, and mold exposure so often show up in the same patient.  Interstitial cystitis is frequently a tight-bladder problem being treated as a recurrent UTI. Dr. Zodkoy's read: stress and anxiety tighten the bladder, it never fully empties, and what's left behind gets infected, so the antibiotic treats a symptom while the muscle stays tight and the infections keep returning. His protocol adjusts the pelvic floor and pubic symphysis, then layers in biofilm-breaking supplements and emotional work.  A 25-year rash resolved after one round of Neuro-Emotional Technique tied to an age-seven memory. Every physical test on this patient, mold, yeast, parasites, heavy metals, came back clean. Emotional testing didn't.  His migraine protocol runs liver support first, nervous system second, emotional work third, in that order, on purpose. Dr. Zodkoy's 1992 theory ties migraines to a slow-functioning liver overloaded by chemical exposure, hormones, or diet. He walks us through his 8-week liver protocol, 16 weeks including autonomic nervous system support, and a 96% success rate once emotional work is added. You cannot do deep detox or trauma work on a nervous system that has nothing left. There's no point moving to detox, biofilm-clearing, or emotional release until a patient's self-rated energy crosses roughly 50 to 60 out of 100.  [00:00:00] Cold open: migraines, interstitial cystitis, chronic fatigue, and the biofilm nobody explains  [00:02:02] Origin story: "doctor, lawyer, doctor" and practicing three months before 25  [00:04:04] Why he became a nutritionist first: the autonomic nervous system as the missing piece  [00:06:08] Finding a hidden emotion: the six-minute visit versus a real history  [00:09:37] The HPA axis toolkit: DHEA, GABA, adaptogens, and a gut bacterium built for stress  [00:11:27] NET, emotion code, and generational trauma: "it doesn't have to be real, it has to be believed"  [00:14:36] The 25-year rash: a muscle test, a forgotten age seven, and a mother's confession  [00:19:04] Migraines: the 1992 liver theory, the 80/20 split, and a claimed 96% success rate  [00:23:43] Interstitial cystitis is not a UTI: the tight bladder nobody is treating [00:27:06]  Killing the biofilm: natokinase, antimicrobials, and cranial electrotherapy stimulation  [00:31:29] The sympathetic-parasympathetic seesaw, and why healing collapses without it  [00:34:59] The "oomph" scale: testing cortisol at home and in the office  [00:36:27] The protocol in order: glandulars, adaptogens, and parasympathetic support, dosed on purpose  [00:43:30] Chronic fatigue, sinus biofilms, and the "house party" that becomes Lyme, EBV, and mold  [00:47:19] Parasites in America, and the TG/HDL ratio he says predicts heart risk  [01:00:02] Closing: where to find Dr. Zodkoy, and a teed-up follow-up on the healthcare system Resources Mentioned Tools & Products Biofilm Clear: Zodkoy's stated favorite combination product for breaking down biofilms, made up of natokinase, serrapeptase, lumbrokinase, and bromelain.

Allie Chandler went from being fit, active and adventurous to experiencing severe widespread pain and spending almost two years largely confined to bed.Her symptoms began suddenly following a backpacking trip in the Swiss Alps. After years of searching for answers, Allie was diagnosed with Lyme disease and co-infections. However, receiving a diagnosis was only the beginning of a long and often unpredictable recovery journey.In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Allie shares the physical, emotional and social impact of living with debilitating persistent pain. She discusses her experience with functional medicine, environmental triggers—including exposure to black mould—and the different approaches she explored while trying to restore her health.We also explore the turning point in Allie's recovery: recognising the role of her nervous system, mindset and identification with illness. Through limbic-system retraining, emotional work and daily practices designed to change her brain's response to perceived threats, Allie gradually began reclaiming her health and her life.Today, Allie considers herself 98% recovered. Her story offers hope, encouragement and practical insights for anyone who feels trapped by pain, illness or repeated setbacks.In this episode, we discuss:How Allie went from competitive sport and boxing to being largely bed-boundThe long search for an explanation for her widespread symptomsHer Lyme disease and co-infection diagnosesFunctional medicine, detoxification and organ supportHow black-mould exposure contributed to a significant setbackThe relationship between stress, the nervous system and persistent symptomsLimbic-system retraining and neuroplasticityMoving beyond a victim mentality and an illness-based identityThe daily habits that helped Allie rebuild her healthWhy setbacks do not necessarily mean recovery is impossibleAllie's experience is personal and should not be taken as medical advice.

What if the missing piece in your Lyme recovery isn't another antibiotic protocol, but your brain itself?In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Mo Pritzker, Co-Founder of re-origin, who spent two years cycling through doctors and alternative treatments for Lyme disease before finally getting better, only to relapse even harder. It wasn't until a doctor handed her a book on neuroplasticity that everything shifted. Mo shares how brain retraining calmed her dysregulated limbic system, helped her body return to homeostasis, and led to being Lyme free for ten years, including a Lyme test that eventually came back negative.This conversation goes beyond killing the pathogen and into what actually keeps people stuck: a nervous system stuck in survival mode. Mo breaks down the "pause" technique she uses to interrupt negative thought loops, why healing chronic illness is as much a crisis of the whole person as it is a physical one, and why community and coaching were just as critical to her recovery as any protocol. If you're navigating Lyme disease and feel like you've tried everything, this episode offers a piece of the puzzle you may not have considered yet.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:11 From serial entrepreneur to sudden health collapse3:07 The perfect storm that broke her body down9:20 A doctor handed her a book that changed everything11:24 Why neuroplasticity worked when other therapies didn't17:35 How her brain turned a positive Lyme test negative25:27 The pause technique for breaking negative thought loops34:01 Where to find the re-origin communitySchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:re-origin - https://www.re-origin.com/The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge - https://normandoidge.com/ Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Demiurge, Arcons, Apocalyptic Fires, Fauci, Why disclosure has been an 80+ Year Fail James Gilliland hosts As You Wish Talk Radio with a wide-ranging ECETI broadcast that includes wildfire footage, his commentary on world events and alleged hidden power structures, reflections on Gnostic teachings and ascension, warnings about universal law and spiritual discernment, criticism of mainstream UFO/UAP disclosure, and sky-watch footage from ECETI. As You Wish Talk Radio Opens With ECETI and Current Events This episode of As You Wish Talk Radio by ECETI, hosted by James Gilliland and broadcast on August 8, 2026, opens with James moving quickly into news and commentary. The corrected transcript identifies James Gilliland as the host, video/news clip voices as brief contributors during wildfire and sky-watch footage, and sky-watch participants reacting near the end of the program. The transcript also notes that highly controversial claims about wildfires, directed-energy weapons, elections, COVID-19, vaccines, Islam, socialism, Gnostic teachings, UFO/UAP disclosure, and alleged hidden power structures are preserved as James Gilliland's commentary rather than independently verified facts. Wildfires, Lahaina Comparisons, and James's Claims About Hidden Causes James begins by discussing major fires in California, Oregon, and Washington, describing a severe wildfire situation early in August. The transcript includes brief video or news-clip material about Washington fires, destroyed homes, displaced civilians, and an arson suspect narrative. James then expands into claims that some fires may involve directed-energy weapons, weather manipulation, geoengineering, heavy-metal accelerants, smart meters, and development interests. He compares the situation to Paradise and Lahaina, arguing from his perspective that fire patterns, melted cars, smart-city plans, and land interests deserve deeper investigation. Elections, Immigration, Europe, and James's Political Commentary The episode then shifts into James's political commentary on voter fraud, voting machines, absentee ballots, illegal immigration, socialism, globalism, and Europe. He claims votes have been tabulated or altered through foreign systems and argues that election integrity affects all Americans, not just one political party. He also discusses Spain, Denmark, Germany, European immigration, cultural conflict, Sharia law, and Dearborn, Michigan, while making strong claims about Islam, women's treatment, borders, and mass migration. Throughout this section, the content remains best presented as the host's stated viewpoint, not as verified reporting. COVID-19, Vaccines, Fauci and Biolab Allegations James next turns to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Anthony Fauci, gain-of-function research, biolabs, COVID-19, vaccines, Lyme disease, ticks, mosquitoes, Bill Gates, India, mRNA, and what he describes as coming accountability. He claims COVID-19 was manufactured, calls vaccines harmful, accuses public-health figures and doctors of betrayal, and invokes Nuremberg-style trials. This segment is especially sensitive because it contains health, legal, and accusatory claims that the transcript explicitly preserves as commentary rather than verified fact. James frames the conflict as part of a broader struggle between “white hats,” higher-dimensional beings, and dark global forces. Gnostic Teachings, the Monad, and James's Metaphysical Framework: the Two Natures of God After saying he has had enough commentary, James turns to ancient wisdom, Gnostic teachings, the Ethiopian Bible, and what he calls the “two nature of God.” He discusses the Monad as the Most High, the Pleroma as an emanation of the Monad, Sophia, Pistis Sophia, Pneuma, the demiurge, Yaldabaoth, Archons, and the divine spark. In James's interpretation, some beings align with the Monad and ascend toward unity with God, while others are shaped by a false or shadow god. He presents this framework as a way to understand love, compassion, power, and the spiritual forces he believes are operating through individuals and institutions. Pneumatics, Psychics, Hylics, NPCs, and the Ascension Divide James then outlines categories from Gnostic or metaphysical tradition, including pneumatics, psychics, hylics, and what he calls NPC-like placeholders. He describes pneumatics as having or activating the divine spark, psychics as having a soul but needing guidance, and hylics as material-minded and self-serving. He says some people are influenced or possessed by Archons, reptilian hybrids, negative entities, or similar forces, especially when they seek power, wealth, or control. He also reflects on learning not to project his own values onto others, repeating the lesson that trust is earned and energy should be directed where it is appreciated. Universal Law, Two Spirals, and the Great Awakening The spiritual teaching section develops into James's explanation of the ascension process. He describes two spirals: a downward spiral of self-service, the demiurge, Archons, the beast, and collapsing systems; and an upward spiral of service to others, harmony with humanity and Earth, universal law, individual freedom, prosperity for all, and unity consciousness. He says the chaos in the world represents one world collapsing while another rises, and he urges listeners to evolve spiritually, live according to universal law, activate the God spark within, and stay kind, loving, and in service to others. UFO/UAP Disclosure, ECETI Contact, and Sky-Watch Evidence James closes the main commentary by discussing UFO/UAP disclosure and ECETI's long-running contact claims. He says ECETI has known who is on the ships for decades and argues that the UFO/UAP community has ignored or censored ongoing contact at ECETI. He criticizes what he views as controlled narratives, self-serving competition, and failed disclosure efforts, then encourages listeners to keep an open mind, loving heart, pure intent, and service orientation. The program then shifts into sky-watch footage, with participants reacting to lights, orange orbs, ships, power-ups, flashes, treetop-level movement, and what they describe as numerous objects crossing the sky over ECETI. Sky-Watch Reactions, Bigfoot, and Program Promotion The sky-watch segment includes excited participant reactions to repeated “power-ups,” multiple lights in the same frame, objects moving near the tree line, flashes in the field, possible ships, and comparisons to satellites or the space station. James frames the footage as evidence of light beings, ships, and Bigfoot guarding the perimeter at ECETI. The episode ends with a program promotion inviting listeners to watch As You Wish Talk Radio, view sky-watch videos of UFOs and orbs, explore self-mastery and herbalism, learn grounding and shielding from unseen influences, attend workshops, and support the ECETI merch store.

What if the biggest obstacle to healing Lyme disease isn't just the infection—but the body's inability to feel safe enough to recover? In this inspiring episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Dr. Meagan Bonnot shares her remarkable journey from being a chronically ill patient with debilitating symptoms to becoming a naturopathic doctor dedicated to helping others recover from complex chronic illnesses. Drawing from both personal experience and years of clinical practice, Dr. Bonnot explains why healing Lyme disease requires far more than simply killing bacteria. Together, Matt Sabatello and Dr. Bonnot explore the critical roles of nervous system regulation, detoxification, trauma recovery, frequency medicine, herbal therapies, and faith in creating an environment where true healing can occur. Dr. Bonnot also discusses how her clinic, Deeper Wellness, integrates biofeedback technology, individualized treatment plans, and functional medicine principles to help patients restore health. Whether you're newly diagnosed with Lyme disease or have struggled with chronic illness for years, this conversation offers practical insights and a hopeful reminder that healing is possible. In This Episode Dr. Meagan Bonnot discusses: Her personal battle with chronic Lyme disease Why Lyme testing often misses patients Childhood trauma and chronic illness connections The importance of regulating the nervous system Frequency medicine and AO Scan technology Herbal protocols for Lyme disease Detoxification before antimicrobial treatment Brain retraining and neuroplasticity Faith, resilience, and healing Practical strategies patients can begin immediately Meet Dr. Meagan Bonnot Dr. Meagan Bonnot is a naturopathic physician and the founder of Deeper Wellness, where she helps patients with Lyme disease, mold illness, Bartonella, chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and other complex chronic illnesses. After spending years searching for answers to her own debilitating health challenges, Dr. Bonnot discovered that lasting recovery required addressing much more than infections alone. Today, she combines functional medicine, naturopathic therapies, herbal medicine, nervous system regulation, detoxification strategies, biofeedback technology, and personalized care plans to help patients restore health from the inside out. Her mission is to help patients understand that the body possesses an incredible capacity to heal when given the right environment and support. Dr. Bonnot's Personal Lyme Disease Story Long before becoming a physician, Dr. Bonnot experienced many of the same frustrations faced by Lyme patients today. Growing up, she struggled with chronic asthma, allergies, fatigue, digestive issues, and recurring illnesses. Despite years of medical evaluations, no one identified the underlying causes of her declining health. Eventually, she developed worsening neurological and systemic symptoms that conventional medicine struggled to explain. Even Lyme testing failed to provide clear answers. Rather than accepting that chronic illness would define her life, she pursued naturopathic medicine and began investigating the deeper drivers behind persistent disease. Her own recovery ultimately became the foundation for the clinical approach she now uses with patients worldwide. Why Killing Lyme Isn't Always the First Step One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding Lyme disease is that recovery begins with antimicrobial treatment. Dr. Bonnot explains that many patients simply are not physiologically prepared to tolerate aggressive treatment. If detoxification pathways are impaired or the nervous system remains trapped in chronic fight-or-flight mode, antimicrobial therapies may overwhelm the body rather than support healing. Instead of asking: "How do we kill Lyme?" She encourages practitioners to first ask: "Why is this person's body unable to heal?" That subtle shift changes the entire treatment strategy. The Four Foundations of Healing Throughout the interview, Dr. Bonnot outlines the sequence she frequently follows when working with patients. 1. Regulate the Nervous System Chronic infections, emotional trauma, prolonged stress, and toxic exposures can leave the nervous system stuck in survival mode. When the brain continually perceives danger, healing becomes significantly more difficult. Dr. Bonnot discusses techniques that help patients restore regulation, including: Adaptogen herbs, such as those from Supreme Nutrition & VerVita Breathwork Mindfulness Gratitude practices Restorative sleep Faith Emotional healing Lifestyle changes Brain retraining programs Consistency over perfection 2. Open Detoxification Pathways Rather than forcing detoxification, Dr. Bonnot emphasizes gently supporting the body's natural elimination systems. These include: Liver Kidneys Lymphatic system Digestive tract Skin Cellular detoxification Supportive therapies may include: Hydration Nutrition Sauna Red light therapy Movement Lymphatic drainage Herbal support Creating efficient detox pathways helps reduce inflammatory burden before antimicrobial therapies begin. 3. Address Infections Once patients are better prepared, treatment may include targeted therapies for Lyme disease and common coinfections. During the discussion, Dr. Bonnot references herbs frequently used within naturopathic protocols, including: Japanese Knotweed Cat's Claw Cryptolepis Houttuynia Chinese Skullcap Artemisia Reishi Adaptogenic herbs Rather than applying identical protocols to every patient, she individualizes treatment based on symptoms, testing, history, and response. 4. Retrain the Brain Healing often continues long after infections have been treated. Many patients continue experiencing persistent symptoms because their nervous systems remain conditioned toward chronic survival responses. Dr. Bonnot discusses the importance of neuroplasticity and brain retraining approaches that help the brain learn safety again. She explains that recovery frequently requires healing both the body and the brain simultaneously. Frequency Medicine and AO Scan Technology A unique portion of the interview explores frequency medicine and biofeedback technologies such as the AO Scan. Dr. Bonnot explains how these technologies may help identify physiological imbalances and guide personalized wellness strategies. Rather than replacing conventional diagnostics or clinical judgment, she views frequency-based tools as one component of a comprehensive functional medicine approach. She stresses the importance of integrating patient history, laboratory findings, symptoms, and clinical experience when making treatment decisions. The Connection Between Trauma and Chronic Illness Another major theme of the conversation is unresolved trauma. Dr. Bonnot discusses how childhood experiences, chronic stress, and emotional wounds can influence immune regulation and nervous system function for years. While trauma does not cause Lyme disease, it can influence how the body responds to infection and recovery. Healing often requires addressing both physical and emotional health. Faith as Part of Healing One of the most personal portions of the interview centers on Dr. Bonnot's faith. She shares how her spiritual beliefs helped sustain hope during periods when improvement seemed impossible. Faith, purpose, gratitude, and community became important parts of her own healing journey and continue influencing how she cares for patients today. Key Takeaways Throughout this conversation, Dr. Bonnot reinforces several important messages: Healing is rarely linear. Every patient is unique. Nervous system regulation matters. Detoxification should support—not overwhelm—the body. Lyme disease treatment should be individualized. Emotional healing often supports physical healing. Recovery requires patience and consistency. Hope remains essential throughout the healing journey.

Welcome to Episode 319 of Autism Parenting Secrets. For years, parents have heard about probiotics, gut health, dysbiosis, and the microbiome.  But those broad concepts don't always answer the most important question: What should we focus on first? Dr. Sabine Hazan has spent more than two decades studying the microbiome, and her research has taken an unexpected turn.  What began as an investigation into COVID immunity led her to a much larger discovery.  Across autism, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, Lyme disease, long COVID, inflammatory bowel disease, and many other chronic illnesses, one common thread kept appearing: declining levels of BIFIDOBACTERIA. In this conversation, Dr. Hazan explains why she believes this group of beneficial microbes deserves far more attention, why simply taking probiotics may not be enough, and why protecting the microbiome may be one of the most important investments families can make in their children's long-term health. Whether or not future research confirms every aspect of her current thinking, this episode offers a fascinating look into how one physician-scientist is approaching one of the biggest unanswered questions in autism. The secret this week is…  Protect BIFIDOBACTERIA First You'll Discover: Why autism became "all about BIFIDOBACTERIA" for Dr. Hazan (3:15) The surprising difference between restoring and simply adding probiotics (24:05) Why protecting the microbiome may be even more important than rebuilding it (29:15) Several everyday factors Dr. Hazan believes can rapidly deplete BIFIDOBACTERIA (35:45) Why the future of autism may begin with measuring the microbiome much earlier in life (1:07:50) About Our Guest: Dr. Sabine Hazan is one of today's most highly regarded gastroenterologists and researchers helping shape the field of microbiome science. She is the CEO of Ventura Clinical Trials and founder of ProgenaBiome, a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory exploring the relationship between the microbiome and conditions including autism, cancer, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and longevity. Dr. Hazan has led more than 46 clinical trials and has published extensively on stool testing, probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and the role of the gut microbiome in chronic disease.  She also founded the Microbiome Research Foundation to advance independent microbiome research. https://sabinehazanmd.com/ References in this Episode: ProgenaBiome Microbiome Research Foundation Let's Talk Shit by Dr. Sabine Hazan Autism Health Summit Documenting Hope Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.com If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

You don't have to live in the woods to get bit by a tick. It can happen in your backyard, on a walk, even pulling weeds in your own garden. In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, Marnie and Stephanie sit down with Ali Moresco, a tick-borne disease survivor, healthcare publicist, and one of the most recognized Lyme disease advocates in the country. Ali spent two years searching for a diagnosis before learning she had Lyme disease along with several co-infections, and she's turned that experience into advocacy work that has helped shape federal tick-borne disease legislation as executive board chair of Project Lyme. Ali walks through what those confusing early years of unexplained symptoms actually looked like, why standard Lyme testing misses far more cases than most people realize, and the practical prevention and removal steps worth knowing before your next walk outside. She also shares what her recovery has actually required over the better part of a decade, including where the treatment protocols and research are headed next. Whether you spend your weekends on the trail, garden in your own backyard, or just want to know what to actually do if you find a tick on you, this conversation will change how you think about prevention. Key Takeaways: Lyme disease is present in all 50 states, not just the East Coast Standard two-tier Lyme tests can be 64-78% inaccurate, especially in the early weeks after a bite Fewer than half of people infected with Lyme ever develop the classic bullseye rash Never burn, smother, or otherwise irritate an attached tick — use fine-tipped tweezers and pull straight up Save a removed tick in a bag or jar; some states and universities offer free tick testing Alpha-Gal syndrome is a tick-borne meat allergy that can also cause fatigue, brain fog, and gastro symptoms Symptoms from a tick bite can surface years later, often triggered by an unrelated stressful event or illness Recovery from chronic tick-borne illness is rarely linear and often requires a combination of treatments tailored to the individual person Episode Breakdown with Timestamps:  00:00   Introduction & Meeting Ali Moresco 01:03   Does Ali Still Enjoy Being Outside After Everything She's Been Through 02:51   Life Before Lyme Disease Was Part of Her Vocabulary 07:23   The Timeline From Tick Bite to First Symptoms 08:53   The Two-Year Path to Diagnosis 10:39   Why Standard Lyme Testing Misses So Many Cases 13:40   What Her Lowest Point Actually Looked Like 17:28   The Biggest Misconceptions About Tick Bites 19:43   Beyond Lyme: Other Tick-Borne Conditions on the Rise 20:34   Understanding Alpha-Gal Syndrome 22:31   Babesiosis and Bartonella, Explained 23:24   How to Actually Prevent Tick Bites 26:36   Prophylactic Antibiotics After a Bite 27:49   The Right Way to Remove a Tick (and What Never to Do) 29:46   What to Do With a Tick After You Remove It 30:58   Can Symptoms Show Up Years After a Bite? 32:47   Reasons for Hope: New Research on the Horizon 35:55   Inside Project Lyme's Advocacy Work 37:48   What Treatment Actually Looks Like Long-Term 44:03   The Daily Habits That Help Ali Stay Well 45:34   Where to Find Ali and Her Work 46:28   "What Does the Art of Living Well Mean to You?"

If you've been decluttering for years and you're STILL drowning in clutter, you're not lazy—you're lying to yourself. After 17 years as a professional organizer, I've learned that your messy house isn't the problem. It's just a symptom of something deeper you haven't identified yet. In this episode, I'm revealing the 5 REAL reasons people can't let go of their stuff—and spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with not having enough time, space, or help. Those are just excuses covering up the truth. Until you can name your root cause, you'll keep decluttering the same stuff over and over again. We're not weeding the garden anymore—we're ripping out the roots. Plus, a rant about ticks and Lyme disease, because I found one in my scalp mid-recording and now I'm convinced I'm dying. This episode goes DEEP. I want you to do something mindless while you listen—vacuum, dust, fold laundry—because I need you to actually HEAR this message. Stop making excuses. Let's figure out what's really going on so you can finally move forward. Want to get organized?

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to one of our most eye-opening conversations with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. If you've been following our recent episodes on mold toxicity, this is the perfect next listen because mold and Lyme disease often go hand in hand, sharing many of the same frustrating symptoms. Dr. Motley explains the surprising ways Lyme can enter the body, why so many people never fully recover, and the hidden role blocked drainage pathways play in keeping you sick. From EMFs, heavy metals, and mold toxicity to trapped emotions, he reveals how these invisible stressors overwhelm your body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and prevent true healing. We also dive into how trauma can become stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with fatigue and hormone imbalances, and why restoring your body's Qi (your electromagnetic life force) may be one of the missing pieces to lasting wellness. If you've been doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this throwback episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what could be keeping your body stuck.

Living with chronic illness can feel like collecting diagnoses without getting real answers. Symptoms are treated one at a time, but the underlying causes can easily be missed. What if asking a different question is the first step toward feeling better? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Richard Horowitz, an internationally recognized Lyme disease expert and author of the new book Ending Chronic Illness. After caring for thousands of patients over more than four decades, he explains why many seemingly unrelated conditions share common underlying drivers—and why thinking like a medical detective may help uncover them. We discuss: Why treating the diagnosis isn't always the same as treating the problem—and how to start looking deeper How hidden infections, environmental toxins, gut health, and other overlooked factors can quietly drive chronic illness What new research may reveal about the links between infection, inflammation, and brain health How to begin uncovering what's really driving persistent symptoms Our bodies are constantly communicating with us. The challenge isn't that they're silent—it's that we haven't always known how to listen. Sometimes finding better answers begins with asking different questions.

What if the fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or mysterious symptoms you've been chasing for years weren't caused by stress, aging, or burnout—but by a tick bite you never even noticed? Lyme disease is one of the most misunderstood illnesses in medicine. But Lyme is rarely just one infection—it's often part of a much bigger picture involving co-infections, immune dysfunction, inflammation, gut health, and environmental triggers. In today's episode, I walk through a functional medicine approach to Lyme disease and tick-borne illness, including: Why Lyme disease is so often missed—and the hidden role of co-infections like Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma The limitations of conventional testing and treatment, and how functional medicine looks beyond the infection to understand why some people recover while others remain chronically ill The role of herbs, antibiotics, gut repair, detoxification, immune support, and mitochondrial health in a comprehensive recovery plan What the latest evidence says about emerging therapies like ozone, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and hyperthermia—as well as practical strategies to prevent tick-borne illness in the first place Lyme disease isn't always just an infection—it's often a whole-body disruption. By addressing the underlying drivers of inflammation, immune dysfunction, gut health, and cellular resilience alongside the infection itself, you give your body the best chance to heal and recover.
