The Most Misdiagnosed Disease in America (How to Heal from Lyme disease)

43 minutes

Each year, 476,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with Lyme disease, but many cases go undetected. Lyme isn’t just an infection—it’s an attack on your energy, immune system, and brain that antibiotics alone often fail to treat. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe uncovers the hidden dangers of Lyme disease, the truth about misdiagnosis, and natural strategies for recovery.

What you'll learn:

Why many people have Lyme disease without knowing it

How Lyme bacteria hijack your energy and immune system

Why antibiotics don’t always work

The link between Lyme disease and autoimmune disorders

Natural therapies like red light therapy, ozone therapy, and adaptogenic herbs

How diet and gut health play a critical role in recovery

If you're struggling with fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, or other unexplained symptoms, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to strengthen your immune system and take control of your health naturally.
