What does it really mean to be a Lyme Warrior?

💚 In this powerful episode of Love, Hope, Lyme, host Fred Diamond talks with Lauren Lovejoy, founder of Lyme Warrior, about her 12-year journey from losing her health and career to leading one of the most passionate advocacy communities in the Lyme world.

Lauren shares how she went from seeing over 60 doctors with most dismissing her symptoms as "stress" to finally receiving a clinical Lyme diagnosis and re uilding her life through alternative healing methods. Her honesty about the emotional toll, financial burden, and daily fight for recognition will move and inspire you.

🌿 You'll hear Lauren discuss:

💚 Why antibiotics aren't always the answer and what helped her heal

💚 How Lyme Warrior empowers survivors through awareness, 5Ks, and "Kid's Smile Boxes"

💚 The unseen emotional struggle of advocates and caregivers

💚Why believing Lyme patients is the first and most powerful act of care

💚The hope for accurate testing and meaningful medical progress ahead

💪 "Being a Lyme Warrior doesn't mean running a 5K. It means not giving up today." – Lauren Lovejoy
