Lyme Disease and Peptides. My Personal Story and What the Research Actually Says.

This is one of the most personal episodes I have done. I have Lyme disease. I was diagnosed in my late 40s completely by accident through a routine eye exam with a new doctor who noticed something previous exams had missed. Specialists. A CT scan. Comprehensive blood tests. And buried in those results was Lyme disease, something nobody had even been looking for. The eye and the Lyme turned out to be completely unrelated. My infectious disease doctor confirmed that. And I was told I had probably had Lyme since childhood, living with it dormant for decades. In this episode I share the whole story including the fact that I never saw a tick and never had a bullseye rash and the research on why that is more common than most people realize. I talk about how conventional medicine did not have much to offer and how finding an integrative provider changed things before peptides even entered the picture. And I share my personal experience using peptides under doctor supervision, GLP-1 including tirzepatide which I am still on today for inflammation, stubborn weight gain, and flare control including the published research on why GLP-1 helps with reward seeking behavior around food and alcohol. Thymosin Alpha-1 for immune regulation and my asthma that is now almost completely gone with measurable breathing test results. NAD plus for brain fog and mental clarity. I also acknowledge that Lyme affects people very differently and my experience has been more manageable than many. This is not a cure story. It is an honest conversation. If you have been sick and dismissed for years this episode is for you.
