Welcome to the very first episode of the LymeBytes! Podcast. I’m Dr. Myriah Hinchey, and today I’m laying the foundation for everything this show is about by sharing The 10 Truths of Lyme and Other Vector-Borne Diseases.

After years of treating patients with chronic infection-driven illnesses, I’ve seen how easily Lyme disease and its co-infections are overlooked or misdiagnosed—and how devastating that can be.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through why Lyme is truly a clinical diagnosis, why the bullseye rash is unreliable, and how chronic infections can cause everything from mood disorders to cancer risk. We’ll also talk about the connection to mold toxicity, mast cell activation, and why mindset and trauma healing are essential pieces of recovery.

If you’ve ever been told there’s nothing more you can do or felt frustrated by outdated treatment protocols—especially the flawed one-dose doxycycline approach—I hope you’ll feel empowered and validated by this conversation.

I’m so glad you’re here. Together, we’ll explore the science, strategies, and hope it takes to reclaim your health.

Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode—and if you’re ready to go deeper, I’d love to see you at the LymeBytes! Symposium this November in Fort Lauderdale.

In this inaugural episode of the LymeBytes! Podcast, I, Dr. Myriah Hinchey, share The 10 Truths of Lyme and Other Vector-Borne Diseases—essential knowledge that I believe every patient, practitioner, and parent must understand.

I break down why Lyme is a clinical diagnosis (not a lab result), how chronic infections drive inflammation, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and even cancer risk, and why the bullseye rash is unreliable in over half of the cases.

We also explore the hidden drivers of persistent illness: co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia, mold and mycotoxin illness, mast cell activation, and the impact of stress and trauma on immune function.

I share why I adamantly oppose the flawed one-dose doxycycline protocol after a tick bite—and what patients really need for thorough, effective treatment.

If you or your loved ones have been dismissed or told recovery isn’t possible, this episode will help you feel informed, validated, and hopeful.

Finally, I invite you to join me this November in Fort Lauderdale for the Lyme Bite Symposium, where we’ll go even deeper into the science and strategies of reclaiming health from chronic infection.
