Description
Do you suffer from unexplained headaches, joint pain, fatigue, or other autoimmune symptoms and suspect chronic Lyme disease might be at the bottom of it? Dr. Jay Davidson might just be the expert you need!
There’s no better time to get educated on this topic, as Lyme disease is actually more common than breast cancer now and cases are on the rise. Most of us already know the importance of checking our kids (and ourselves) for ticks.
It turns out there’s more the story though … as is so often the case when it comes to health.
Chronic Lyme Disease: A Rising Epidemic
As a functional medicine clinician, chiropractor, and researcher, Dr. Jay Davidson helps people all over the world with their hard-to-diagnose cases. But there’s a deeper reason why Dr. Jay is the “go-to” guy for Lyme disease.
His wife Heather, who had battled chronic Lyme disease since childhood, became very acutely ill after the birth of their daughter. Her Lyme disease had entered the acute stage, and she almost lost her life to it.
Today Dr. Jay shares about this terrible journey (with a happy ending, thankfully!) and the treatments that restored his wife’s health. This experience became the basis for Dr. Jay’s practice and his best-selling book 5 Steps to Restoring Health Protocol.
It’s paralyzing to think about how easily Lyme disease can be contracted and how devastating the consequences are. I’m so grateful Dr. Jay is here to educate us more and tell us some things we can do to stem the tide.
In This Episode You’ll Learn
the terrifying story of how Dr. Jay’s wife nearly lost her life to Lyme disease … and how she recovered
reasons why Lyme disease so often defies diagnosis and goes undetected
the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, and why it’s so tricky to find and treat
the different stages of Lyme disease, and the difference between acute and chronic Lyme
how to protect yourself from ticks … and what to do if they bite anyway
why ticks are not the only way to contract Lyme disease
problems with conventional testing and treatments for Lyme (and which labs to use instead)
why the body’s natural drainage pathways play a role, and how to support them
co-infections that typically accompany Lyme and how to recognize their symptoms
why a bullseye rash isn’t the only symptom of Lyme, and may mean you already have it
how to remove a tick safely
why not to put essential oils … or anything! … on a tick before removal
Dr. Jay’s best tips to minimize stress and boost health and happiness in daily life
and more!

8: Real Food & Killing Ants Naturally: I had so much fun on this interview with Katie Kimball of KitchenStewardship.com. She is a fantastic writer and researcher, pregnant with her fourth child, and manages a household and her popular blog (and makes it all look easy). We recorded at 9 PM after our collective 8.5 children were sleeping and she provided a lot of great tips for cooking real food for a family. My apologies in advance for the little bit of audio feedback in this episode. The problem has been fixed for the future episodes. Katie shared some of her best tips for getting rid of pests like ants and wasps naturally without chemicals that can harm your children.
