Lyme and Beyond with Tanya

EP 108: Dr Rawls on Autophagy, Lyme and the Vital Plan Restore 180 Program

Dr. Bill Rawls returns to Lyme and Beyond with Tanya for an in-depth conversation about healing Lyme disease, chronic illness, autophagy, and the Vital Plan Restore 180 Program. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the Vital Plan Restore 180 Program and the Vital Plan Network. So many individuals navigating Lyme disease are left trying to figure it all out and piece everything together on their own and that is where Restore 180 comes in. Dr. Rawls explains exactly what the program involves, who it may benefit, and why he believes creating the right foundation within the body is essential for healing. We also discuss the virtual support system included within the program, including coaching, accountability, education, and community support. One of the other amazing aspects of Restore 180 is that it provides an affordable and accessible option for people who may not be able to travel for care, have not yet found a practitioner or are navigating their healing journey independently. We also discuss autophagy, what it is and the important role it may play in healing. Along with cellular repair, lifestyle changes, nutrition, sleep, stress, detoxification, and restoring balance within the body. Dr. Rawls shares why so many people remain stuck in survival mode and how supporting the body’s natural healing processes may help shift that pattern. Whether you are newly diagnosed, feeling stuck in your healing journey, or simply searching for new perspectives and hope, this episode is packed with valuable information, practical insight, and encouragement.

EP 107: Inside Lymestop: Trauma. Diagnosis. Healing with Allison Sky

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.

EP 104: Misdiagnosed with ALS - Angelo's Journey From Hopeless Diagnosis to Lyme Disease Discovery

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.
