Lyme Disease Diagnosis and Treatment
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.

ADHD, Gluten and Alternative Treatments - FAM #042
Welcome! Our episode today comes from our recent live webinar with Dr. Chantell Reagan, a wife and mom who has been a pharmacist for over 20 years. Her career includes working in managed care and consulting, and now is focused on functional medicine and nutraceuticals. Join us! Chantell began the journey to functional medicine as a result of her oldest son’s diagnosis of ADHD in preschool. He was prescribed meds to manage behavior, anger, and hyperactivity. He also tried behavioral therapy, which had some success, but didn’t address the root cause. Chantell researched the link between ADHD and gluten and found surprising results. When the family went on a GF diet, she noticed significant improvements in his attitude and behavior. To change the family to GF, she started with easy swaps, then progressed to eliminating red dye, processed foods, dairy, and common allergens. Chantell shares the following about ADHD and alternative treatments: There are shocking statistics about the increase in ADHD diagnoses in American children. Even more shocking are the statistics about the number of children currently on prescription medications for ADHD. The Gut-Brain Connection is vital for understanding ADHD. Chantell explains the connection and the importance of probiotics. Another key component in ADHD is mineral and vitamin deficiencies. “Simple mineral deficiencies can manifest themselves as ADHD, so supplements can work as well as prescription medications.” Chantell shares her “4 S’s” Protocol for treating ADHD symptoms: sugar, sleep, stress, and smart supplementation. Join us for the details! Choose supplements carefully to insure quality. Chantell recommends the top 6 supplements to use in treating ADHD symptoms. Essential oils can be very effective in treating ADHD symptoms, especially vetiver, cedarwood, and lavender. Listen in for more details! Chantell shares that her sons are currently on NO MEDICATIONS. She uses essential oils, supplements, and probiotics. They get sufficient exercise, sleep, and limited screen time. Listen to Chantell to find out how to implement these changes in your family and check out the resources available.
