Sometimes you can wait months for an important doctor visit, and it can be taxing on your body, mind and spirit. Join Dr. David Weill and Ali on this new episode of Lyme Time as they discuss how to talk to your doctor.
Are you wondering how you will get through another day with Lyme disease? The emotional stakes are high when dealing with chronic illness and you must win, no matter what. The latest episode of Lyme Time welcomes Liza M. Shaw, a TED Talk speaker, marriage and family therapist, advanced clinical hypnotherapist, and Integrative Lyme Literate health consultant.
I’ve been there many times. We attack, get exhausted, then retreat. The latest episode of Lyme Time features one of my favorite certified mindset coaches, Natalie Ottosen, founder of Soul Sister Coaching. We go deep into the pitfalls of old habits consistently sabotaging your road to health and how overcoming them is possible.
Trusting your intuition and the medical journey. Well, that seems like a loaded statement but really, tuning into that deep-centered “knowing” can guide you in the right direction in an incredible way and I know this firsthand. The latest episode of Lyme Time features world renowned medical and spiritual intuitive and author Katie Beecher.
It’s a topic that is worth discussing and learning more about in this new episode of Lyme Time. Ali and Rhisa Marie Parera (aka @Negraconlyme) break down the details about how a Lyme disease diagnosis is often a double-whammy from the medical community to people of color.
Now don’t get me wrong. My closet is not always an accurate representation of where I am in my life today. But why shouldn’t it be? I am healthy and happy! Some of the clothes in my closet used to represent what was never to be: a body of my past self, lots of Covid sweats, super high heels that actually hurt my feet, and things that I wore when I didn’t feel well. Time to let it all go and live in the present!
If you are a Lyme warrior parent, this special episode of Lyme Time is just for you. Jody Hudson had an elite athlete daughter named Alex in the 5th grade when pains here and there began getting out of control. She battled fiercely for many years without knowing it was Lyme, often shunned by the medical community with denial, strange looks and judgement. As the disease progressed, she finally got a proper diagnosis her senior year in high school but Lyme eventually won this battle.
Adena Sampson knows what it’s like to be down and out with chronic illness, though she wasn’t always ill. Nope! In the height of her early career, she was the founder of Outloud Productions and The Unbreakable Spririt Movement, a Breakthrough Coach, Inspirational Speaker, Singer-Songwriter and Best-Selling Author, seen on CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC. But all that came to a screeching halt.
I can’t say I’ve related to a memoir much more than that of Ross Douthat’s The Deep Places. As I turned the pages, I had an enormous surge of feeling as though he had the exact, mirrored journey as I did and if ONLY I could give this book to every person I know I would finally be understood. Douthat recently joined me on a podcast episode of Lyme Time and I enjoyed every second.
