Heather's struggle with dis-ease began when she was 4 years old. Her uncle had committed suicide and from that moment on, she can remember having health challenges including constipation and autoimmune issues. But no one really looked at why she was struggling and sick, just that she was, and they did their best to fix the symptoms.
Having these health challenges at such a young age set her up to be a perfect target for contracting Lyme and tick-borne illness when she was bit at the age of 13. Note, she did not get a bullseye rash, which only 35% of people get one of those when bitten by an infected tick. She did wind up in the psych ward at the age of 15, however. She knows Lyme targets the weak areas of the body and it targeted her gut and brain, since she already had deficits there. Her story is not that uncommon sadly. Please pay attention so that it does not happen to you or a loved one.
As a consequence of what Heather experienced, she has become a functional diagnostic practitioner. She loves helping people get to the root of their health challenges. She also hosts a podcast with a variety of health professionals and topics pertaining to healing your body. You can find her at TheLymeBoss.com or on social media platforms. She is incredibly knowledgeable at helping you take back your life.
Heather feels that if you get nothing else out of this podcast, to please take away the fact that you must prioritize yourself. You CANNOT heal without doing so. Self-love and care are vital.
