Lyme and Beyond with Tanya

In this episode, I am joined by Allison Sky. She shares a deeply emotional journey that begins in childhood. Years of unexplained symptoms. Struggles no child should ever face. And a life that never quite made sense medically. Everything escalated after a traumatic accident. Her symptoms intensified. And for the first time, the pieces began to connect, leading to a Lyme disease diagnosis. Allison opens up about the impact of misdiagnosis. The emotional toll it takes and how it affected her identity and her lifelong dream of becoming a singer-songwriter. She also shares her connection to Lymestop. A major turning point in her healing journey. She has now worked for Lymestop for the past 7 years. From both perspectives, she explains why this approach became such an important part of her recovery and why it continues to mean so much to her today. In this conversation, Allison gives an inside look at Lymestop. How treatment is structured. What a typical appointment looks like. The general process patients go through and insight into cost and care from her lived experience within the clinic. Today, Allison is stepping fully back into her passion. Her brand new EP, Behind the Smile, has officially launched. Her music is rooted in real-life heartbreak, hope and healing. A powerful reflection of resilience, and rediscovering her voice after everything she has walked through. This is a story of trauma. Diagnosis. And what it takes to rebuild a life after years of being unheard.

Today, Katrina joins me to share her husband Angelo's story. Angelo was given multiple ALS diagnoses. He was told he had a progressive and hopeless condition. Despite those answers, Katrina and Angelo refused to stop searching. They pursued further testing and continued looking for explanations. Angelo was also tested for Lyme Disease multiple times and each time the results came back negative. Still, they kept advocating for deeper answers as his symptoms progressed. Eventually, they were led to the true diagnosis of Lyme disease. This experience is not uncommon. Many individuals diagnosed with ALS are later found to have Lyme disease or co-infections that were not detected in earlier testing. In this episode, Katrina shares their journey through repeated ALS diagnoses, the emotional impact of those results and what it has been like navigating life after finally finding answers. They are still in the midst of their healing journey today, and Katrina speaks about the importance of awareness, persistence and continuing to ask questions when answers do not fully align. She has also started a Facebook page "Standup4lyme" to help raise awareness about ALS misdiagnosis and to share information and support for families navigating similiar situations.  If you or someone you love is facing a difficult diagnosis this episode is a reminder to keep searching for answers.

Today, Mary Jacobs joins me to share her journey. She is a holistic registered nurse consultant and the owner and founder of The Detox Shoppe, LLC. As a child, she struggled with ongoing fatigue and learning challenges, never fully understanding why. Her diagnosis didn't come until adulthood, when her symptoms became impossible to ignore. It was through a chance encounter with another Lyme patient that everything finally began to make sense. It pointed her toward the answers she had been searching for all along: Lyme Disease. In this episode, Mary shares the path that followed, including treatment at Envita Medical Center in Arizona, where she underwent a combination of IV antibiotics, herbal protocols and detox therapies.   Her journey required deep commitment; physically, emotionally and financially but it also led to transformation.

Today I sit down with Erin, who was diagnosed with PANDAS at the age of 15 but that was only the beginning.  As the years went on, her symptoms evolved, new challenges surfaced and it became clear that there was a much bigger picture that had yet to be uncovered. Erin and her parents continued searching for answers. They pursued care through an integrative clinic and invested in numerous treatments, hoping for relief but nothing truly moved the needle.  After exhausting both options and finances, they were faced with a difficult crossroads. That's when they discovered SOT (Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy). After undergoing three SOT treatments, Erin slowly began to feel things shift.  Within about a year, everything shifted and she reclaimed her life. Through her journey, Erin found a deeper purpose. Today, she has created a Bible study app and a Women's Christian Support community & a coaching program. This episode is a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest seasons, there is hope and oftentimes, a greater calling waiting on the other side.

In this episode, I sit down with Missy Wolf to share her eye-opening journey with Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS). Missy's story began back in 2019, at a time when AGS was not widely recognized or understood.  Due to the rarity and complexity of her case, the CDC became directly involved, conducting monthly check-ins to help gather data and better understand this emerging condition. We talk about what AGS really is. It is a reaction to a sugar molecule found in mammalian products, and it goes far beyond just avoiding red meat. From hidden exposures to unexpected triggers, Missy shares the realities of navigating a condition that can show up in ways most people would never imagine. This conversation brings awareness, insight and hope to anyone dealing with chronic illness, mysterious symptoms or a new diagnosis.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Brittney as she opens up in what may be the most raw, real, and emotional conversation I've ever been a part of.  Brittney shares her journey as a mother whose life was changed dramatically after the birth of her second child.  What began as anxiety and leg pain quickly escalated into severe intrusive thoughts that eventually led her to admitting herself into a psychiatric facility, desperate for answers. She eventually learned of her true diagnosis: PANS, Lyme & co-infections. Her healing journey started at Sanoviv in Mexico, an inpatient medical facility that addressed every layer of her illness, including physical treatment, nutrition and mental health care.  Through intensive therapies including hyperthermia, FMT, and Plasmapheresis she began reclaiming her life. This episode is a powerful testimony of resilience, faith and the importance of proper diagnosis.  It is a reminder that when symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood, the story is not over. There is hope, there are answers, and healing is possible.

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.
