Get your LIFE back with LYME Disease, Mold, Hashimotos, and Autoimmune | Jamie Bennet #28

"Lyme disease is caused by a spirochete—a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme is called “The Great Imitator,” because its symptoms mimic many other diseases. It can affect any organ of the body, including the brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart.

Patients with Lyme disease are frequently misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and various psychiatric illnesses, including depression. Misdiagnosis with these other diseases may delay the correct diagnosis and treatment as the underlying infection progresses unchecked."

In this podcast, Alex Corey and Jamie Bennet of the Functional Wellness Collective dive through Jamie's 10+ plus year journey of experiencing the amorphous mysterious symptoms of Lyme disease since high school without a proper diagnosis. She went through almost every specialist imaginable and was diagnosed with Parkinson's, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and ALS before a random visit to get her husband's sudden Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever led their doctor to ask some very precise questions.

Jamie's perseverance to help herself and her children (who also received Lyme at birth) heal led her down the rabbit hole of learning how to help clients with other chronic inflammatory conditions such as Hashimotos, Mycotoxin (mold poisoning), and a range of other autoimmune conditions.

Jamie uses anti-inflammatory, low carb, gut-healing foods along with intermittent fasting, lifestyle, and mindset modifications, to make healing possible at a cost and pace for everyone. A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, supplement specialist, dedicated wife, mother, and entrepreneur, for the past decade Jamie has devoted her life to helping people all over the world reclaim their health and learn to live again.
