39. Unexplained Symptoms...Could it Be Lyme Disease with Katie McManigal


Listen Later

This episode is for you if you or your loved ones have been affected by Lyme disease or you’re interested in prevention. The CDC most recently estimated that each year approximately 476,000 people are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease in the U.S.

Guest Katie McManigal is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who specializes in Lyme disease and complex chronic conditions. Katie has completed training with the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society and is a Lyme literate provider. She furthered her knowledge of functional and alternative medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine and the American Academy of AntiAging. 

We learn:

  • Katie’s personal story of suffering from unexplained symptoms that turned out to be Lyme disease
  • Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose and conventional medicine often under treats the infection
  • Functional medicine has a more comprehensive approach to treating Lyme disease, taking into account the person’s overall health and immune system
  • If you remove a tick be sure to save it and send away for testing for Lyme disease and all other tick transmitted infections
  • Chronic Lyme treatment focuses on establishing a foundation of good health, addressing toxins and gut health, and using a combination of antibiotics and herbs to support immune health
  • How mold exposure can suppress the immune system and worsen Lyme symptoms
