Nicole Refused To Accept MS: A Mother's Journey Through Lyme, Trauma and Healing

from Lyme and Beyond with Tanya · host Tanya Hoebel

In this episode, I'm joined by my guest Nicole, an avid horseback rider who spent years exposed to ticks without fully understanding the impact they could have on the body.  After the birth of her first child, her health dramatically declined.  When she was presented with the potential MS diagnosis, Nicole refused to accept it!  We discuss how Lyme can stay hidden for years/decades and how trauma/major life events can trigger symptoms to come to surface. Nicole also shares the very real fear of thinking outside the box, especially when she was introduced to muscle testing, which felt unfamiliar and uncertain at first.  Despite that fear, she chose to trust the process; and ultimately it became the game changer in her healing journey.  With intention and focus, Nicole shares how she carefully allocated her energy and her financial resources, choosing education and self-advocacy as her most powerful tools. This conversation is a powerful reminder of how educating yourself, listening to your body and working with the right practitioner can change everything.
