Still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety even after Lyme treatment?
This is a special re-release of an important episode originally recorded in 2025 that we felt needed to be brought back. More patients than ever are dealing with stalled healing journeys, and one of the most overlooked reasons is mold toxicity.
In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt breaks down how mold and mycotoxins can silently sabotage Lyme recovery by suppressing the immune system, inflaming the brain, and mimicking symptoms often blamed on chronic infections.
You will learn the difference between mold exposure and colonization, how mold affects the nervous system and mental health, why it must often be addressed before Lyme protocols can fully work, and the most effective detox and recovery strategies available.
If you feel like you are doing everything right but still not improving, this conversation may help uncover the missing piece.

Struggling with chronic Lyme disease and not getting answers from conventional medicine?
Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt explores evidence-based, integrative approaches to chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne illness, and co-infections β including Bartonella, Babesia, and Ehrlichia β through expert interviews and real patient recovery stories.
Lyme disease is known as the "great imitator" because its symptoms overlap with dozens of complex conditions, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Many patients spend years misdiagnosed or dismissed after false-negative Western blot results. This podcast cuts through the confusion with practical insights on functional medicine, herbal antimicrobials, detoxification, immune support, nervous system healing, and other integrative therapies that support long-term recovery.
With over 35 years of clinical experience, Dr. Karlfeldt brings the knowledge of a Lyme literate naturopathic doctor to every episode β helping patients and caregivers reduce their research time, ask better questions, and find a path forward.
