Why does Lyme disease often hit women harder — physically, emotionally, and hormonally? In this powerful episode of Love, Hope, Lyme, I speak with Dr. Jaquel Patterson, a nationally-recognized naturopathic physician and author of Women and Lyme: An Integrative Guide to Better Health.
Dr. Patterson shares her personal experience with Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia, and breaks down how tick-borne illness uniquely impacts women at every life stage — from menstruation to menopause. We explore the often-dismissed symptoms, the role of hormones, psychiatric implications, and the systemic gaps in care that many women face.
Whether you’re a woman navigating chronic Lyme, a loved one trying to understand, or a practitioner seeking deeper insight, this episode offers knowledge, validation, and hope.
🔹 Topics covered:
– The connection between hormones and Lyme symptoms – Why women are often misdiagnosed or dismissed – Psychiatric challenges like anxiety, depression, and “Lyme rage” – How to advocate for yourself or a loved one – Herbs and lifestyle strategies that can support healing – The importance of compassionate, informed care
📘 Learn more about Dr. Patterson’s work and her book.
