On today’s episode, we have Alyssa DiBona. Alyssa is a certified health coach, beauty advocate, and Lyme Survivor. 

Her goal is to inspire you to become the best version of yourself.

Prior to being diagnosed, Alyssa worked in the Fashion Industry and felt as though she was living her best life. However, one day, she woke up experiencing debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, migraines, brain fog, memory loss, joint/muscle pain, heart palpitations, and so much more.

She was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease and Co-infections after months of visits with various doctors. But despite this, Alyssa found was able to recover her health, bit by bit and find the best version of herself.

In today’s episode, I want to take a break from the usual interview format to share something about my recent Ayahuasca journey and how I feel it is helping me overcome my chronic illness.

Having these interviews with people who've been on the same journey that I’m going through and healed from their chronic illness opened my eyes to the possibilities that plant medicine can help me - especially Ayahuasca.

I share in detail the journey that I went through during the retreat and how it’s changed me for good...

On today’s episode, we have Sarah Espi.

Sarah was in a garden and got bit by a bug. After a week, she developed a rash and unpleasant flu. Her GP told that it was a normal reaction to the bite, until in a span of 6 months, she went from being a healthy 20 something to a bed-ridden one.

A doctor confirmed that her illness is  Lyme disease and was told that she was ‘cured’ but deep down she felt that it wasn’t.  She tried various protocols to get better until she found one that worked for her. Upon further research, she realized that there’s no one-off solution with Lyme and there are a lot of areas that you need to attend to - not just physical.

Fast forward to today, Sarah is thriving and wants to show people that having Lyme is not a death sentence. 

That’s why In 2018, Sarah launched a blog called “Ticked Off With Lyme” as a resource for people with Lyme Disease. This  site is for people fighting back to regain health and recovery.

Today’s guest on the show, Jo Foster. 

In a matter of weeks in 2014, Jo went from living a normal busy life of a 20-something to becoming bed-bound with overwhelming fatigue and such a long list of other symptoms

She was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and told by Doctors to expect to spend the rest of her life in bed.This wasn’t an option for her so she started doing tiny bits of research when the energy allowed, implementing diet and lifestyle changes and started to see glimmers of improvement that powered her forward.

As her energy grew, she threw everything she had into healing – researching, learning, experimenting and evolving. 

Fast forward to today, healing from and thriving after ME/CFS has become her life’s work and she is now studying a three year nutrition course so she can continue her research and be able to support others going through similar health challenges.

On today’s episode, we have Kelly Burnett. 

A few years ago, Kelly was living a happy life with her then-fiance. She was living the life until one day, she felt a sharp pain in her spine.  A few days weeks later, the pain spread all throughout her body. 

Kelly consulted a lot of doctors and diagnosed her with Lyme disease but upon further tests, the results are negative. She lost the will to live and got filled with anxiety. 

Her pivotal moment was when she surrendered everything to God, and turned her attention to going all-in on nutrition and changing her mindset.

This week on the show - Lauren Keller AKA @twopurplecarrots 

For me, Lauren is absolute inspiration. The number of conditions she was diagnosed with seems endless when you look at the list - mold toxicity, EBV, SIBO, Lyme Disease, POTS, endometriosis, breast implant toxicity, babesia and parasites  - CRAZY! 

Lauren was able to overcome all of this and now is a trained chronic illness specialist, helping others overcome their own chronic issues. Her outlook and approach is so refreshing that I am scheduling an appointment with her myself.

Anyway, If you’re going through a tough time at the moment and are in need of inspiration... tune into this week’s episode

Look her up on IG - @twopurplecarrots 

This week on the podcast - James Abbot 🙌🏼

I don’t say this lightly but James probably has one of the craziest stories if not the craziest story I’ve had so far on the podcast... 

By the time he was 15, he had lost all memory before the age of 10, lost his sight in one eye and had almost died being trapped underwater for 21 minutes... all of these things resulting from three separate accidents.

One of these things happening to a child would be traumatic enough but 3?! This would just be the start of it for James unfortunately as he then developed a chronic illness that would destroy his joints, cover his skin with boils and gave him such severe stomach issues that he was going to the toilet 10 times a day EVERY DAY... and this went on for a decade throughout his 20s until he was able to find a cure for his condition and slowly but surely, recovered his health...

Really excited for this one.... 😀

This week on the show - Kelli Tennant!!! 

I’ve been excited to have Kelli on the show for some time for two reasons: 

1. Her story is very close to mine in terms of the length of time she was ill and the paths she went down and I know many of you will feel the same

2. She has placed a massive emphasis on the power of the mind in her recovery. I’ve mentioned psychedelics and ayahuasca a number of times and how they are more and more interesting to me in terms of healing and these are areas which Kelli knows a lot about and so I’m excited for you to listen to those particular areas.

This week on the podcast @paulinemoldoun  

Pauline was a professional dancer, incredibly talented and with a bright future but then she began noticing weird symptoms with her joints and developed horrific injuries, she even got to the point where she had to be in a wheelchair. 

She went from doctor to doctor and none of them knew what was wrong. Finally, she came across a doctor who recognised what was wrong and diagnosed her with EDS. This began a long journey of trial and error in an attempt to find what worked for her.

These days, she is able to do yoga and exercise for hours at a time and is incredibly grateful for the gifts her condition gave her.
