Cara Pacific Campbell | How Lyme Disease Saved My Life: Chronic Illness, Trauma Healing & Upspiraling

What if the illness that took everything from you, your career, your identity, your ability to bake a birthday cake, turned out to be the thing that finally saved your life?

In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Cara Pacific Campbell, patient advocate and author of Upspiraling, to trace her journey from high-powered corporate executive to bedridden with Lyme disease, 36 co-infections, and dementia-like symptoms, all missed for months by conventional medicine. Cara opens up about the nosebleed that stopped her life cold, the functional medicine breakthrough that finally named what was happening, and the road back through treatment, somatic trauma work, and a complete identity overhaul.

If you're navigating a Lyme diagnosis, living with chronic illness, or just quietly running on empty, this one maps a way forward. Not just to survival, but to something truer on the other side.
