Ticks, Lyme, and What the Standard Advice Gets Wrong | Evelyn Green

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026’s increased tick concerns, Evelyn’s high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus. She describes common clinic presentations (fatigue, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive issues), challenges with testing, and the importance of foundations like sleep, nutrition, stress, and light exposure. Prevention strategies include tick checks, avoiding tall grass, permethrin-treated clothing, proper tweezers removal, and optional tick testing. Treatment may involve antibiotics, herbals, homeopathics, peptides, HDC helminthic therapy, ozone/IV therapies, and intravenous light therapy, with many patients improving over time.— Connect With EvelynIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefusionfnp/https://www.gmofwi.com/ _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide._________Timestamp:00:00 Tick Symptoms Surge01:15 Why This Episode Matters02:13 Podcast Intro And Disclaimers03:26 Meet Evelyn Tick Specialist04:41 Evies Lyme Origin Story07:21 From Trauma NP To Lyme Clinic14:41 Modern Tick Boom And What We Can Control37:34 Why Medicine Misses Lyme38:32 Terrain First Foundations39:50 Stress Hormones and Pregnancy41:19 Tick Bite Prevention Basics46:26 Tick Testing and Next Steps54:04 Treatment Options Beyond Antibiotics01:02:49 Testing Advocacy and Finding Help——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!
