From Lyme to Leading Research: Nikki Schultek's Mission to Decode Chronic Illness

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Nikki Schultek, Lyme conqueror, researcher and a true force behind some of the most important work happening in chronic illness today. Nikki shares her personal Lyme journey. But her story doesn't stop at healing; it's what she's doing now that is creating waves. As the founding director of the Pathobiome Research Center, co-founder and executive director of the Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative, and founder of the Intracell Research Group, Nikki is deeply involved in groundbreaking research that is reshaping how we understand chronic illness.  We discussed PANS and PANDAS, the connection between infection and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and ALS and the incredible amount of research happening that is bringing real hope to those still searching for answers.
