Our mental health is a massive factor when facing Lyme disease and tick-borne illness. So much so that I dedicated two episodes of the Lyme Time Podcast to Dr. Chris Winfrey of New Image Wellness and who is a unique leader in the community.
Dr. Winfrey is an expert in understanding mental health as a psychiatrist and he differs from other speakers in that he addresses the inner world of people struggling with chronic conditions and turmoil and links them to distressing emotional states.
In this important two-part series, we discuss minority challenges with chronic illness, brain inflammation and its impact on mental health, how faith plays a part in healing, what happens in the Lyme brain, and how to help our children navigate Lyme on an emotional level.
What is the future of mental health? What are some non-invasive tools for mental health and kids? What is science telling us about neurodegenerative diseases and tick-borne illness? How does faith and cultural/racial backgrounds factor into chronic illness?

His practice combines metabolic psychiatry, functional medicine, environmental neuropsychiatry, and psychoanalytic therapy to support mental and emotional well-being.
Let’s get into it!
In good health,
