Very few doctors choose to fully understand the effects of Lyme disease on our young population. What happens when a child suddenly isn’t acting like themselves with no real explanation? This episode of Lyme Time welcomes Dr. Somer DelSignore of Hudson Valley Integrative Health located in New York (though she also practices virtually) in order to gain insight into chronic conditions and our youth.
Our youngest population of Lyme disease patients need doctors like her who have dedicated their career to understanding how to read, test, and treat those who often can’t verbalize what is going on in their bodies. Often this presents as OCD, depression, impulsivity, and regression. She also treats teens and young adults with chronic conditions with a special eye geared at root causes.
We talk about differences in co-infections and how they often present differently in kids than adults. Another great portion of our conversation is Dr. Signore’s R.E.S.E.T. Protocol that has been proving effective as well as how ADHD, behavioral symptoms, PANS/PANDAS and Autism are confused with each other and often go hand in hand with Lyme disease. She also discusses first steps of action, whether a tick was found attached or not.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. DelSignore is Adjunct Faculty Member of MAPS, co-chair of Mothers Against Lyme for Project Lyme, and brings firsthand insight as a mother of two.
