Dr. Kristi Hellenbrand, DC — Surviving Neuro Lyme: Clinical Diagnosis, the Horowitz Protocol, and Healing When Tests Say “Normal”

What happens when your body is shutting down—but every scan, lab, and specialist says they “can’t find anything”? In this episode, we unpack the reality of Lyme-related neurological illness, the emotional toll of chronic disease, and what it takes to keep moving forward when healing isn’t linear.

We’re joined by Dr. Kristi Hellenbrand, DC, chiropractor and author of Let Me Tell You a Secret…She Makes It: a Lyme survival story, who shares how a tick bite in 2020 leads to rapid neurological decline, wheelchair-level symptoms, and relentless migraines—until a clinician treats based on a clinical diagnosis and response to treatment, not just lab confirmation. Kristi walks us through the decision points that change everything: antibiotics as an early signal, later testing that reveals a viral layer, and a pivotal turn to the Horowitz protocol (including double-dose dapsone) as part of her path back to remission.

Key Takeaways:

03:45 Lyme can first appear as heart and neurological symptoms—not joint pain.
07:15 Clinical diagnosis can move treatment forward when labs and specialists stall.
10:30 Response to treatment can confirm infection before tests do.
13:10 Healing from Lyme is nonlinear and follows the grief cycle.
14:25 The Horowitz protocol helped resolve daily, debilitating migraines.
19:15 Retracing symptoms signal healing in reverse order—not relapse.
31:00 Fear is inflammatory; regulating the nervous system supports long-term recovery.
