The Silver Lyming: Episode 68 with Justin Weathers

Justin is someone I was introduced to through the power of social media. He shares a lot of his healing journey on TikTok ("Surf the Storm") and is rather inspirational with his dedication to healing and moving forward, while maintaining a good attitude and level-headedness in his situation. Justin had been a land surveyor and suspects that is where he contracted his tick-borne infections. He has been experiencing symptoms for over 15 years but only received a diagnosis 5 years ago. He has experienced air hunger, panic attacks, stomach issues, heart palpitations, and migraines. He was told by his doctors he had anxiety, depressions, and allergies. Unfortunately, that happens to far too many of us. I hope and pray that the narrative changes with the Western medical community to consider tick-borne illness when there are so many unanswered health challenges versus simply brushing them off as stress, depression, or anxiety. Justin began experiencing Bell's palsy and had a "frozen" face and difficulty with blinking which ultimately led to his accurate diagnosis with Lyme disease and babesia. It was a huge relief for him to actually have a true name for what was plaguing his body for so long. He could finally begin working on repairing the damage that had been done to him. Take a listen and please like and subscribe. This information is so important to share as I know far too many people that go through very similar stories and spend so much money and time trying to figure out what is wrong. The more people that are educated better about what tick-borne illness looks like and how to heal, the better. Don't wait till it happens to you to care.
