Lyme Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

10/12/15 • 55 min

Welcome! My guests today are Sarah and Aaron Sanchez, who are a husband and wife team who do The Lyme Voice podcast. They are passionate about working together to share information to those coping with the disease.

Sarah had battled Lyme disease symptoms for 17 years but was undiagnosed. She was told it was fibromyalgia and then chronic fatigue syndrome before a correct diagnosis. She suffered immensely, researched Lyme, and found there was not much information available. Sarah and Aaron decided to begin The Lyme Voice podcast to prevent others from suffering unnecessarily like Sarah did for all those years.

Sarah and Aaron share the following about their story:

In June 2013, when Sarah was diagnosed with Lyme, she suffered a myriad of symptoms that greatly affected her quality of life.
She found the Gerson treatment, which is based on organic juices and coffee enemas. She attended the Envita Medical Center in CA for treatment.
Sarah describes her juicing process and the basics and benefits of coffee enemas.
Many times the symptoms of Lyme are masked by other symptoms and other stressors on the body.
Lyme is hard to diagnose, and the tests for it are not very accurate.
Sarah shares her daily regimen now, including juices, enemas, supplements, exercise, and yoga.
Sarah and Aaron give advice to others who may be suffering from Lyme symptoms, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed.

Lyme disease is a worldwide epidemic, with over 300,000 diagnosed in 2014. Join me for this conversation with Aaron and Sarah to learn more!

Paleo Diets, Planning for Success and Intuitive Eating - FAM #047

Welcome to today’s show! My guests are Emma and Carla Papas, also known as “The Merrymaker Sisters.” They are health and happiness advocates and passionate health coaches from Australia. Their website will inspire you with paleo recipes and tips for healthy lifestyles. Join us for more!

Their journey really began in 2012 when Emma discovered her gluten intolerance. Carla joined her in her endeavor to improve her health by changing to a paleo diet. They embraced the new diet together. Carla posted photos of the new foods and recipes they created, which led to their blog and then their website. They wanted to learn how food can become our medicine and then share those findings with others.

The sisters share the following about their journey:

Their diets today include lots of vegetables, chicken, and fish, with very little red meat.
They don’t always eat three set meals every day.
They advocate listening to your body as to what it needs.
They shop farmers’ markets for fresh, seasonal produce.
They eat NO refined sugars, gluten, dairy (except butter!), grains, or beans.
They encourage “intuitive eating,” which is all about listening to your body and how it reacts to certain food, and being open to change and new ideas.
They actually schedule their meal-prep time in their calendar.
As much as possible, they prep ahead on Sunday for the week by preparing large amounts of protein and vegetables.
One tip is to prepare extras for dinner and package them up for tomorrow’s lunch.
The key is to be organized and confident about healthy eating.
A positive mindset is important.
The sisters use affirmations daily to focus on positivity, gratefulness, and accountability.
The sisters each share a favorite recipe that you don’t want to miss!

You WILL be encouraged by listening to Emma and Carla. Their fun-loving attitude about food and life is contagious, so don’t miss our conversation!

Make it Merry is their cookbook with over 70 recipes that are delicious, healthy, and quick. They even have a healthy, sweet treat section!

Improving Egg Quality and Fertility After Age 35 - FAM #049

Welcome! My guest today is Bridgit Danner, who is an expert in women’s health. She is the host of the Women’s Wellness Radio podcast. I met Bridgit recently at a conference in California and am excited to have her on the show!

Bridgit is the owner of Blue Sky Wellness Studio in Portland, OR, which is a clinic offering naturopathy, massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture to its patients. Bridgit has been in practice for 11 years, utilizing the principles of Chinese medicine. She had her own health struggles as she experienced postpartum depression, so she boosted her nutrition, turned to functional medicine, and became passionate to help others.

Bridgit shares the following about women’s health and fertility:

At age 35, peri-menopause begins. Ovarian function declines and hormone levels decrease.
Men’s sperm counts and hormone levels decline with age also.
For increased fertility, decrease your stress levels.
Men and women should do several things jointly to increase fertility:

Exercise improves circulation in the genital area—and fertility.
Nutrition is important! Bridgit shares tips on fats, proteins, carbs, and vegetables to maintain optimum health.
Superfoods can easily be included daily as nuts, seeds, and berries.
Supplements (within reason) can help improve fertility.
Some herbs and teas have proven helpful in fertility.

Bridgit shares some tips for good health that apply to men only. Join us for the details!
Bridgit has a Kindle book available for $3 titled Making Super Sperm, with a series of Kindle books in the works and available soon!
