EPISODE 157
Discussing Lyme Disease and Thyroid Autoimmunity with Heather Gray
“It’s amazing when we get back to the basics, how well our body takes over and knows what to do to heal.” – Heather Gray
When it comes to Lyme disease, many people are laser-focused on treatment instead of optimizing the whole person. But if you don’t address the foundations, heal the gut, reduce your toxic load, do things to manage stress, and improve your adrenal health, these therapies aren’t going to be nearly as effective as they could be.
Today’s guest, Heather Gray, has lived with Lyme for 20+ years. After taking care of the basics, cleaning up her lifestyle and environment, and detoxing, she found she didn’t have to work so hard to treat it anymore. Heather is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and Bioenergetic Practitioner who specializes in supporting clients with chronic and complex illnesses such as Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and autoimmune diseases.
In this conversation, Heather and I discuss the need for a holistic approach to health, how gut health and emotional trauma influence Lyme disease, the challenges of getting a proper diagnosis, the significance of foundational health practices, the potential benefits of bioenergetics and frequency therapy, and more. Enjoy the episode!
