9. Beating Lyme Disease and Thriving (with Dr. Darin Ingels)

This week, I welcomed Dr. Darin Ingels on my show to discuss all things Lyme disease, from getting a diagnosis to finding effective treatments. Dr. Ingels, himself a former Lyme patient, shares his remarkable journey of overcoming a three-year battle with the disease through a holistic approach, incorporating dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and natural and herbal therapies tailored to his body's needs. Though his personal experience with Lyme disease was near the origin of the disease discovery in Connecticut, he notes that Lyme has now been reported in all fifty US states. Despite the growing prevalence of Lyme disease, Dr. Ingels shares a message of hope as he has treated nearly ten thousand Lyme patients and his goal remains helping people regain their health.  Together, we discuss the importance of taking an innovative approach to treatment that emphasizes diet, lifestyle, and natural therapies. Dr. Ingels, with extensive experience treating Lyme patients, shares insights into the complexities of Lyme disease, including its autoimmune aspects and how it can intertwine with conditions like mold toxicity. We also share actionable health tips from Dr. Ingels aimed at individuals possibly facing Lyme disease or other chronic conditions. Dr. Darin Ingels is a licensed naturopathic doctor, author, international speaker, and leading authority on Lyme disease. His book, The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Autoimmune Response and Beat Lyme Disease is a best seller.  Tune in to gain invaluable insights from Dr. Ingels on overcoming Lyme disease through holistic approaches as we delve into treatment options and offer practical ways to take back your health. 00:00 The Alarming Reality of Lyme Disease 00:30 Introducing Dr. Daren Ingels: A Lyme Disease Expert 00:50 Dr. Ingels' Personal Battle and Approach to Lyme Disease 01:40 The Evolution of Lyme Disease Understanding and Misdiagnosis 05:40 Exploring the Complexities of Lyme Disease and Co-infections 10:41 Challenges and Controversies in Lyme Disease Testing and Treatment 18:17 The Intersection of Lyme Disease and COVID-19 23:29 A Naturopathic Approach to Treating Lyme Disease 27:23 Unlocking the Mystery of Treating Lyme Disease 28:02 The Challenge of Diagnosing Lyme and Its Co-Infections 28:26 Navigating Long-Term Lyme Disease Treatment 28:52 Success Stories and the Unpredictability of Lyme Treatment 29:47 Exploring Adjunct Treatments for Lyme Disease 34:05 Immunotherapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Lyme and Allergies 40:19 The Complex Interplay Between Lyme Disease and Mold Exposure 50:22 Empowering Advice for Taking Back Your Health 52:06 Connecting with Expert Lyme Disease Care Connect with Amy Myers, MD Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AmyMyersMD/featured Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmyMyersMD Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Dr. Darin Ingels: Website: https://dariningelsnd.com/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/dariningelsnd  Instagram: https://instagram.com/dariningelsnd  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdariningels/
