In this episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy welcomes Christa Nannos, actor, coach, and author of Tick Tock, It’s Lyme O’clock, for an eye-opening discussion on Lyme disease, parasites, and the complexities of healing from chronic illness. Christa shares her journey of being misdiagnosed for over 20 years, her eventual diagnosis of Lyme disease, and the challenges she faced in detoxifying and rebuilding her health.

Christa’s raw and vulnerable recount of her rock-bottom moments, gaslighting experiences, and triumphs highlights the importance of self-advocacy and persistence in healing. The conversation dives into:

• Understanding Lyme disease as the "great mimicker" and how it hides behind other diagnoses.
• The intertwined roles of parasites, mold, and trauma in chronic illness.
• The necessity of finding root causes and not settling for surface-level answers.
• The mental, emotional, and physical toll of healing—and the critical role of rewiring the mind.
• Practical tools and strategies to navigate the ups and downs of healing, including nervous system work, gentle detoxes, and maintaining a sense of fun in life.

Whether you or someone you know is struggling with chronic illness or looking to improve their health, Christa’s journey provides hope, insights, and actionable takeaways to restore your body and spirit.

Key Takeaways:

1. Symptoms are messages from your body—listen to them, and don’t normalize feeling unwell.
2. Healing is not linear, and setbacks are part of the process.
3. Advocate for yourself and seek answers beyond conventional diagnoses.
4. Incorporating nervous system regulation and brain rewiring can significantly aid physical healing.
5. Healing is about progress, not flawless execution.
